Wish him nothing but luck, 4 year contract isn't to be sniffed at in the current climate so plenty of security for him and his family

The Championship..tougher next year?
Dolman_Stand replied to Mr Popodopolous's topic in Football Chat
You are probably right in terms of the overall standard of players and teams on the pitch but it definitely feels like the strength of the clubs is as good as I can remember in terms of history, stadium size, average attendance etc. Luton, Burnley, Wigan and Blackpool are "smaller" than Leeds, Leicester, Ipswich and Sheffield Wednesday that's a fact. Sheff Utd and Southampton is much of a muchness and Reading are arguably "bigger" than Plymouth and plenty of others have parachute payments so overall it should be harder to compete as a middle of the road club like us. -
It’s going to bad a interesting league next season
Dolman_Stand replied to sticks 1969's topic in Football Chat
On paper it's probably the strongest league in quite a few years especially if Wednesday get up today -
Bournemouth I agree, the other two not so much as they both went up with a distinctive style and had been strong for a couple of years prior to promotion. Can't say i see the same traits in Sheff U or Cov/Luton, on the other hand I think Burnley will be fine

Well deserved for Cameron, rematch at Croke Park in September
-
Taylor 6-4, if it wasn't KT in Ireland it may be different but think she'll get the decision
-
I've tried scoring it factoring in home advantage and have it 5-4 Taylor
-
Cameron by KO
-
Not sure it will be, Sheff U and Luton /Cov are near certainties to go down leaving only one relegation spot for the others to avoid
-
Fair play to them though, shows it can be done! Sunderland would have been the same kind of story. As frustrating as it is fir us to see the likes of them doing it imagine how the likes of WBA, Norwich and Watford feel

Yep playoff for the right to finish 20th in the Prem next season

Nigel Pearson on Sounds of the City
Dolman_Stand replied to Never to the dark side's topic in Football Chat
But unless he signs a contract extension we do have to sell him don't we? Unless we want to run the risk of having him 12 months away from being OOC this time next summer and reducing the fee we get? -
Surely he needs to give up the ghost with Wednesday now and go back to his natural level?

Isn't his son doing well at Fleetwood? -
Within 90 minutes of Premier League football, some of the greatest moments in living memory and a time where we truly believed. Name a manager who has been better either before or after?

Notts County v Boreham Wood National League Playoff Semifinal
Dolman_Stand replied to Curr Avon's topic in Football Chat
David Noble is managing them now so really hope they go up, of all the players we've had over the years he would be the last one I would pick out as a future manager but fair play to him.....it'll be 15 years since the "Selhurst Screamer" this week, how time flies -
Think we were still in with a shout of automatic, by winning up there we took it to the last day and QPR pipped us to 2nd
-
So Ben Whittaker....anyone else want to see him get flattened?

We'll save the running costs of Robins TV though whatever that is,overall the CEO's across the board must be satisfied it's a win for us financially so we'll have to trust it
-
If there's Monday games then there will be Thursday mid week games the following week which in turn means Sunday games the following weekend. As a part time supporter these days it actually suits me to have more games on TV but is bound to take a few off the attendances, hopefully the clubs have factored that in before accepting.

Must of been the full allocation of Rotherham fans in their that day, they only brought about 50 didn't they? Was a brilliant day and as soon as Nobes got the opener all the tension just lifted, mad to think Scunthorpe went up as Champions that year and will be in Conference North next season, pretty sure Yeovil beat Forest in the play offs that year and look at the gap between them now!
-
So will the other big hitters, sky subscriptions are considerably down compared to recent years so there may not be as much money available to secure as many matches as they currently own. On another note what sort of increase in revenue are we likely to see on the back of this deal? I'm assuming the aim of it was to even up the distribution across the EFL but there must have been enough in it fur the Championship clubs to get the unanimous vote
-
Unless theyre pre-empting that they are likely to lose their stranglehold on Premier League matches whenever those bidding rights are up next? DAZN, Amazon,Netflix are all going to be going after them aggressively next time around as well as BT Sport so it's unlikely it will be as exclusively Sky based as it currently is. If they were to have lost EFL now and then some or all of the Prem stuff it would have been a deathknell to Sky.

5 Championship and 5 spread across L1/2, Friday night Saturday lunchtime & teatime, Sunday and Monday Night?
