On HNA we don't like people who are passionate about RFC. It's all about the 'we're too cool to give a f*ck' attitude.

On a serious note, it's the best debut performance on HNA seen for many a year. Keep it up. You will get a few challengers on Monday morning when the AE crew come back but stick with it.

Haven't gotten any shit so far - the vast majority from here probably know of me from twitter anyway. Only asked Graham to verify me as my name kept being quoted on here and I felt I should be able to defend myself.

As for the challenge, bring it on!

He may be, but he needs to be concise as well.

Why? This isn't Twitter. If you'd rather have everything in 140 characters you can follow me at @maffff.

^ He already follows you on twitter.

Ah. That awkward moment when I realise I can't actually make the connection between people here and there.

It's not really AE people who talk absolute shit about football - that's the preserve of the RFC-only brigade.

[Absent Dad]

Well with regard to the AE v RFC duvet cover brigade, most people will know which mast my colours are nailed to there - but I would just like to say this is where Club Policies comes into its own for me.

A chance for both forums to come together and talk about the painstakingly trivial matters surrounding the everyday running of the club. So yeh, welcome to the board mafff.

[ZacNaloen]

This is a criminally under used section of the board tbf

Oh I agree, obviously AE>>>>>>>>TB, I just meant that some people on AE tend to take exception when someone who claims to be ITK starts posting regularly (e.g. TBM and RL with Friday's Legacy)

Yep agreed, but you have to remember that Royal Lady is pretty much the most despicable individual on this entire portal.

Lets put a notable point here about early backing.

Zingarevich has stressed that contrinuity is key. It has been announced in the media he has extended both McDermott and Gibbs to 2014. On McDermott's instructions he has extended every key member of staff until the same date. We have also pinned Hammond down to 2015 - although we never announce Hammond's contract. That's a +1 for continuity and stability.

Zingarevich has also said to McDermott that no matter what happens this season he will be the manager next year. If the worst thing happens and we break Derby's record, McDermott should be here come January 2014 provided we are making a credible attempt at bouncing back. If we stay up Zingarevich wants to see visible progress.

Another +1 should go to Zingarevich for backing McDermott in this window. There is no transfer fee, simply a 'right player for the right price' provided we don't completely break the wage budget outside of sensible structure (our 'wage cap' will be in/around/just over £40k). McDermott's frugal enough to know a bargain when he sees one and has been given free reign to try to get players like Pogrebnyak and make large bids for Rhodes and Sigurdsson (both of which would see us break our transfer record by several million). We need to see whether this approach remains.

Lastly, a at this stage +1 should go to Zingarevich for not interefering with McDermott and giving both him and Hammond free reign in the transfer window, along with massive kudos for his proactivity in supporting McDermott by making attempts to speak to players like Pogrebnyak and Sigurdsson personally to sell his vision for the club so far.

With money being ploughed into the academy, training ground and all around the stadium behind the scenes, 6 months in this is looking like we have the perfect owner.

It gets a massive +1 from me!!

Sounds like we're missing out on CAT1 academy status unlike Saints. Expect our best up and coming talent to be nabbed on the cheap then.

EDIT: Not been inspected! I'm gonna learn not to believe everything I believe too.

[Pepe the Horseman]

First we miss out on Gylfi, now this? How many more broken promises can we expect before the new season kicks off?

[RobRoyal]

Why are we missing out?

[Blakey's Right Peg]

Fordham says our academy is yet to be inspected.

[Absent Dad]

Fordham says a lot of things.
