Re: Weekend Football

Like the league isn't bought most seasons through history. How it's bought is the key factor Team getting 10,000 a week outspending a team that gets 3000 - everyone is fine with that Team getting 3000 a week outspending a team that gets 10,000 due to outside financing - people often aren't happy Al...

Re: As The Dust Settles - The Sombre Thread

I'm struggling to see 10 years of fighting relegation relative success, but it is at a higher level than mid-table tier 3. I mean in a relative sense. When I started supporting, becoming Tier 2 mainstays was the Holy Grail. Expectations are wildly different these days and I think we need to temper ...

Re: New manager rumours and speculation

If we don't hire someone with experience of promotion from League 1 then I don't know what we're even doing. What's the point in hiring a younger manager looking to learn and build long-term when our fanbase demands instant success? I don’t think our fanbase does demand instant success. Definitely ...

Re: New manager rumours and speculation

Hutchinson reminds me of that sort of player, it's a shame we haven't had him on the pitch much after that point. I think McShane started losing his place after giving 2 penalties away at Blackburn, although that may have been just under Clement rather than any managers that followed. He should hav...

Re: As The Dust Settles - The Sombre Thread

Not a candle to Kitson, Doyle, Sidwell, Shorey, Ingimarsson though. I think that is fair. Compared to those, not to that level. But compared to the dross of the last decade, Meite has to be considered one of the best signings we have made. Do we think Joao was a good signing? Was he good value for ...

Re: CONFIMRED - Relegation

The silence from the club since relegation is starting to get a bit deafening Could you list the things you want them to say ? I’d rather they got on with the business of turning the tanker round and if they never said a word, EVER, I’d see that as a real positive if allied to a reversal of fortune...

Re: New manager rumours and speculation

I have seen it mentioned that we’re looking at Luke Williams the Notts County manager. Obviously, pure speculation but a managerial appointment of this nature wouldn’t surprise me. Also, he might be able to persuade Langstaff to come here. Suggest a quick glance at his record as Swindon manager mig...

Which we are more than able to spend. Not really. Of course we are, we are recouping a great deal from the Puscas deal (should it go through) and the astronomical savings on wages too. That and hopefully the restrictions will be lifted as we currently know them. We can afford Alfie May, issue is so...

Re: Predict the Championship table 22/23

Pepe the Horseman I submitted a revised prediction which you didn't publish. Would've had me top by some distance.

You're half right. You swapped Reading and Huddersfield. I'm sorry I didn't update your submission. I've recalculated and miraculously, you've got exactly the same score!

Re: Predict the Championship table 22/23

I accept no responsibility for incorrect calculations. Or incorrectly copied down predictions.

Happy to do this again next season. I'd probably be a bit more generous on the scoring... +1 for 2-3 places out, +0 for 4-5 places out, +1 for predicting a PO team. Maybe.

Re: Revised new manager poll

Listening to Nathan Jones on Sky Sports I think we’re made for him. Well Paul Ince should take note of this interview with Nathan when he was at Southampton https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BXRNPuBKlss&pp=ygUYbmF0aGFuIGpvbmVzIHNvdXRoYW1wdG9u Sounds like a load of Rodgersesque bollocks to me. +1

NathStPaul Would bite your cock off for Alfie May from Cheltenham.


Would be awesome but I just don't see it. Cheltenham would want £1m for him

Which we are more than able to spend.

Not really.
