Just had a look on the evening post to see who they have signed. This quote is from their new defender from Gillingham. "I've played here four or five times and every time it's a sell out, the fans are just so loud.

They absolutely love this particular myth. Along with the “we took 40,000, no 50,000, no 60,000 to the playoff final” Plus “their away support is bigger than ours”. Total ******* fantasists, they really are a small deluded club.

I think the world has better things to concentrate on rather than these 2 morons.

I’ll just leave this here ; 'Announce promotion': Bristol Rovers fans ecstatic with summer business as Sam Nicholson joins Gas‘ Obsessed with the Gas ? not really this was on page 4 of our forum , just thought we needed a laugh . Yes , that’s right the Sam Nicholson . I know ... who ?

With the pools closed I've had to do some running over the past few months. God must've realised pretty quickly he had created something inherently evil when he allowed humans to be able to run. He must've quickly passed all responsibility to the devil, who then presumably realised how horrendous running was, and flogged it in a bargain bin to Satan. With nowhere to turn Satan must've lucked out and blamed it all on a consortium of Hitler, Mussolini and Pol Pot. Then, evil itself stepped in and claimed all responsibility. My knees, shins and feet are in ruin. Running has no redeeming features whatsoever, and you are all masochists.

The only promotion they can hope for is 'buy one get one free' on stale crisps at the kiosk in Row M

Looks like he’ll fit in well with all the other Billy Bullshitters at the Mem. Unless of course the capacity of Tentsville has suddenly dropped to 7000?

Hi VH. Welcome to OTIB. As you’ve been reading you’ll find we are a strange bunch! But we like opposition posters on here in the main. The £18m salary cap is still a bit of an unknown. The new proposals appear to centre around The salary cap - 25 man max squad, £720k per annum salary, thus 25 x £720k = £18m. diminishing the impact of Parachute payments and financial penalties accordingly. For a relegated club, you can register (that’s financially register in the ffp submission) any players earning over £720k as £720k. So if Mings is on £1.3m (£25k pw), then he only counts as £720k. So Villa’s starting point would be “compliant”. However you then decide to sell Mings, Grealish and McGinn for £100m. Normally you would use that slug of money, plus PPs to go and raid other clubs and perhaps go the best Champ players. Lets say Brentford fail in the playoffs. Dean Smith says we’ll have Pinnock for £15m and we’ll pay him £1m per annum, Ollie Watkins for £25m and £1.5m, and whilst we’re at it we’ll have Eze from QPR for £20m for £1.5m per annum too. From a fees point of view, you’re £40m up....but against your salary cap you’re now over. You had an allowance of £2.16m (3 x £0.72m), but spent £4m, this overspending by £1.84m. The penalty is £3 for every £1. So that costs you £5.5m. Any contract renegotiations for your relegated players aren’t covered by £720k cap either. So Wesley (forget his injury) who signed a £3m (£60k per week) deal last summer with a 50% relegation clause starts kicking off at only being on £30k per week now. Prem clubs have been alerted by his agent, but you want to keep him. You renegotiate a £10k increase, so he’s now on £40k (£2m). That’s £1.28m over the allowance, so you get fined £3.8m. Suddenly this starts to get very expensive, because all the other players are knocking on your door. Now that might be a gamble Villa are prepared to accept, but it may start to stop clubs coming down just buying up who they want.

i dont think any of us have buck teeth or 3 nostrils either

Oh yeah, that’s right. They desperately tried to save themselves from Non League by trying to put another club who had major financial problems out of business over a transfer made years prior. Detestable maggots. Hope Matty bags a hat trick against them next season. ?

Wouldn't it be ironic if it was the moronic sags' wetting their plastic pants and crying into their shandy's over Wycombe that helped galvanise them into ultimately winning promotion. Well done Wycombe, a job well done & even the winning goal was scored by an ex sag. You couldn't write it! Unlucky da sags.
