  1. Tomo, for once I disagree. Back at the end of the transfer window I was on the pod, and we were all chatting before going on air. He said things then that you’d only know if you were getting fed from the inside. This wasn’t a tit-bit from the guy on the gate, this was too detailed. It was nothing like the stuff he’d spouted in the past. It wasn’t repeating stuff from the Post or from one of those Transfer Centre Twitter accounts and claiming as his own.
  2. A worse set of injuries cost the bloke he replaced his job???
  3. Jan 2023. Used that January as a handover to PA. PA went in Sept, Nige Oct.
  4. Which one of GO or JP brought up Alexander…because it’s a huge loss.
  5. Undoubtedly a player that is missed. I think we (all) agree on that. However, yeah-yeah, there’s always a however with me! What I think it also shows is that even when he does play under Manning, the results still aren’t good enough, ie there are bigger issues than just James’s absence!
  6. Much as I love the fans getting an opportunity (and being on there myself), tonight’s show pisses all over previous weeks becayse you’ve got the right people on it.
  7. FWIW, I have no comprehension as to why. It baffles me!
  8. I don’t think it matters who. And we don’t know their fate…yet. It’s a collective process. If Manning desperately wants one to stay, they’ll stay. But you don’t sign Bird, Stokes, Murphy, whilst trying to sign Twine (miss), then Azaz (miss) and then Twine again (loan) if you’re not planning to reshape your midfield. That to me means at least two of those go. I think the only reason that it might not be all three, is a dawning that this level is harder than he thought, and one of them isn’t as replaceable as he initially thought.
  9. That’s he’s got 8 games to save his job.
  10. Sorry, went to edit, and deleted wrong bit. This is what I’d put: Well if anyone heard a few rumours doing the rounds, Ian Gay has heard the same and just broadcast it on BBCRB. Him and his source have no filter and no shame. Wow!
  11. No need to apologise Coach. I think he’s a good guy and a bloody good journo.
  12. Delete James Piercy. not a plank.
  13. I don’t think any of us do, because he seems to use the term completely incorrectly / out of context. Its one of his stock phrases when he hasn’t got anything he can use to explain better.
  14. Yes, ex-pro and journo with inside / insight. Makes a better debate than fans speculating (inc me being in there).
  15. I’ll provide the stats with no prejudice, you work your angle, that ok? Matty James: Under Pearson: Played: 13 (1170 mins) Pts earned whilst on the pitch: 18 (+5)* Team Goals whilst on the pitch: 15 Team Goals conceded whilst on the pitch: 14 Goals / Assists: 2 / 0 Results without James: P 1 / L1 / Pts 0 Under Fleming: Played: 1 (90 mins) Pts earned whilst on the pitch: 3 (+2)* Team Goals whilst on the pitch: 1 Team Goals conceded whilst on the pitch: 0 Goals / Assists: 0 / 0 Under Manning: Played: 18 (1252 mins) 14 starts / 4 subs / 4 subbed off Pts earned whilst on the pitch: 20 (+2)* Team Goals whilst on the pitch: 16 Team Goals conceded whilst on the pitch: 16 Goals / Assists: 0 / 0 Results without James: P 5 / W 1 / L 4 / Pts 3 +++++ * a formula based on result when entering the pitch and result when exiting, e.g. start game at 0:0, leaves at 1:0, he has effected a change of 1 point (draw) to 3 points (win), therefore he gets +2.
  16. To save you looking, here’s what they claimed. I recall mentioning this to Richard Gould a day or two after these came out, ie that Forest had detailed their Covid add-backs in their accounts, his reply was “have they now, that’s interesting” Looks like the £9.678m “gap” is the forecast (£12.178m) mins the £2.5m allowance. So maybe they were stricter with the add-backs than I thought. Or maybe Forest took the piss.
  17. What makes me laugh is this type of argument: ”Nige was shit” ”Manning is doing no worse than Nige”
  18. No, that’s just you exaggerating. Most comments are what I would call “respectful”, did a good job type stuff.
  19. I think there are plenty who will watch results / action. No rush to renew is there? I’d normally have blocked out 10:00 - 10:15 out of my calendar to get it done.
  20. “Auto-forward” email has been disabled!
  21. Think there were plenty of derogatory comments over his tenure. I won’t bring up one accusation that came up several times. Robot / Boring is no different to Dinosaur is it?
  22. When you say straight, you mean via several sideways and backwards email folders en-route!
