  1. Past hour
  2. Whilst I’m sure Tinnion has been providing snippets of info to IG - his continued and unshakeable defence of BT on FBC would suggest that - IG’s 8 games comment is his own. Tinnion wouldn’t be that silly….. would he?
  3. Who cares? Look at Italys famous blue shirts, remind me where the blue is in their flag? (And no I don't need a lesson on why it's blue I know)
  4. I agree something should happen but doesn't that make a bit of a farse to the lower leagues for a couple of seasons? One giant club wins everything, effectively reducing the promotion spots for all the other clubs.
  5. That picture been edited. He was sat opposite LJ & GJ originally with some paperwork and a pen
  6. Clearly only cares about the money. Read between the lines and he supports a regulator who imposes a financial deal between PL and EFL. My questions to any EFL chairman/owner/CEO who comes out today in support of the Regulator are: 1) if you get extra money can you commit to not simply spunking it on players? 2) what steps have you taken over the past two years to independently and proactively address the issues raised in the Fan-Led Review? 3) how should extra funds should be shared between EFL clubs? Because if the answers are "no", "nothing", and "league position"...then I say they don't actually support the regulator, they just support Championship clubs getting extra money to pour into a wages black hole in the ever-more-desperate race to the PL. "Sustainability" is not achieved through simply more £££.
  7. Have been to the one in Bath, it was great. Definitely worth a visit.
  8. It would probably never get made these days but what an utterly brilliant programme that was in so many ways!
  9. @phantom @Ian M could we possibly change the title of the thread to "The Football Regulator"? I'm delighted to be able to ask that by the way!
  10. Ok fair enough, I have no idea who the Gay chap is. But are you saying he made up the comment about Manning having 8 games to save himself, just for dramatic effect ? And there is no truth in that ?
  11. I can't wait for the season to end and looking forward to the Euros.
  12. They should do what the Scottish FA did to Rangers. Demote them to the bottom of there football league. They had to come up from the bottom and reorganise the whole club. They were promoted each season. Unfortunately that will never happen . Another club that should be looked at is Manchester United !.
  13. ......Steve Lansdown is alive and well.
  14. I would think firing someone because they have become disabled would play out badly. Whatever the reasons, health, lack of personal relationship with him, results, they wanted rid. Why they did not do it in the summer if , as was suggested they had spent a few months sounding out his replacement, that Pearson got to hear about, was all pretty shabby. Why let Pearson and Alexander do the summer, then fire them both within a few months of seasons start ? Odd thinking from the Kelly (Please do not disregard his role in this) , Jon L and Tinnion.
  15. Yes a huge day today. The culmination of years, in some cases decades, of campaigning by some very hard working people. It won't be quite as strong a regulator (initially at least) as some hoped for. The fan heritage but is watered down a fair bit from what we hoped for, but yes there will be a regulator that checks that clubs have consulted fans if they want to change their badge for example. A few of us have been discussing it over on this thread, and you're welcome join us. https://www.otib.co.uk/topic/214852-the-fan-led-review-of-football-governance/page/7/#comment-4841478
  16. The terms 'Emotions'...' Behaviors'...' Environments' etc, that Manning just spews at every opportunity, are straight out of the football coaching manuals. As are other various terminologies he spews. If you actually wanted to understand the meanings RR, it's very simple...Google is your friend. There are numerous accounts on the subject. Here's a simple one for you. https://learn.englandfootball.com/articles/resources/2023/How-to-help-players-manage-their-behaviours-and-emotions
  17. A New governance bill is to be introduced in parliment today, not looked into it too much but did notice a bit "clubs need to consult with fans re heritage and direction" and an independant regulator to be appointed. FSA (Football Supporters Assocation) warmly welcomes bill and a landmark decision....thoughts ? (merge with ffp thread if required)
  18. I found the whole show compelling listening; I literally stopped what I was doing and just sat and listened. There were many insightful, credible comments from Piercy and Owers, but this one from Piercy stood out the most. For a respected journalist who covers the club to come out publicly and say something as damning as this was incredible, but probably just underlined what many of us think. If you’ve not listened to the show yet I thoroughly recommend you do.
  19. Today
  20. Watched England 25 yrs ago not no more no interest innit city all the way
  21. Don't Stop Believin'...Journey
  22. We sold over 14k seasons tickets for this season. I myself am not renewing and will pick a few games to pay on the day instead. I’m not sure even if ticket sales plummeted that the board would be that concerned. The increased Tv money will just about cover it and there confidence that we will be top six will give them the belief that they will fill the stadium with pay on the day and hence generate more match day revenue anyway. Get a cup game like we did against Man Utd and everyone will be snapping up the half season tickets. Five points adrift at the bottom of the league in January and it’s a different story obviously.
  23. I enjoyed it but I think there was stuff that was plain wrong! We all must know we were sold a pup on the basis of Pearson’s sacking. But the inference that his leg issue was an overwhelming reason is just plain propaganda wrapped up in excuses for this idiocy.
  24. Yes. I am doing it. I am bumping my own thread. Not for my ego (take note, Lansdowns) But because I believe in the importance.
  25. Home kit, whilst not a copy of, gives me “inspired by” Mexico 86 vibes.
