Clutton Caveman

I wonder if he is beginning to regret his decision as it looks like he may be playing in front of 10,000 in the championship next year instead of 20,000 here.

Bang out of order and below the normal standards of this forum

I really am at a loss regarding the criticism of SL. He has poured lots of his own money into the club writing off huge sums. We are still not profitable and so each year he has to write a cheque. Who of us if we won the Euro millions would take on a club where after 5 years we would be broke. Clearly people of this wealth become involved in sport as a hobby. A very expensive one at that. It seems he has played enough with the toy and wants to sell it, quite understandably but is not pitching it to every low life in a baseball cap. Clearly we are now more saleable than we were under Ashton and LJ. And hopefully we will reduce our losses to the point where a good buyer can be found. I ask 2 questions. What other owner since Harry Dolman has done a better job? Given a lottery win of £150 million would you plough this into BCFC?

Great Guy too. He used to take our team for training on Friday evenings at AG to earn a few quid. Always joined in the five a side on the carpark

Take the Megabus to Victora

Would be interesting to see who come out top when away support is compared to average home attendance

SSShhh lets keep this to ourselves or Bournemouth will come calling

I want to hear their explanation for the assault on Bell last night

When I see Sheffield Utd and Burnley losing game after game I wonder unless you have owners with very deep pockets or parachute payments still valid, if the gap has become to great to bridge.

Would be interesting if SL sold the club to the fans. Clearly a few would have to buy big chunks of shares but the rest would be held by the 20,000 regulars. I wonder: How many would put their hand in their pocket to buy the shares How many would accept zero % return on their investment each year How many would be happy to be continually asked to put their hand in their pocket to top up the coffers to cover our yearly loss. How we could ever agree on anything such as a new manager If we would still hear call for big spending

I think its less a case off us keeping him or him saying he's had enough and wants to get started on the bucket list. I would seriously hope that SL and our CEO are at least preparing for that eventuality already.

If we sell our best and recruit from league 1 and Ireland mid table looks like an achievement

When Tanner had the ball, too often Connick was behind his man and there was no ball inside. Overall our lack of off the ball movement reminded me so much of early last year. We moaned at the amount of passing along the back line but with no one showing for a pass to feet they had to hoof it long. I hope this is fixed far quicker this year than last

Watching the championship highlights it struck me how many non UK players were involved and in many cases proving the flair for their team. We seem to focus on Scotland and leagues 1 and 2 for our recruitment. Typically at best we get young players who can improve or quite average players who can fill a role. If you consider our recent recruitment there have been few players who can really make a big difference. Nige has built a team on mainly good reliable professionals. If they are well organised and well motivated they should secure a mid table finish. I think given the financial restraints this would be seen as mission accomplished. The question is what happens at the end of this season. Will Nige want another 2 years? Will our better players be happy to stay at a team with medium ambition. For me the only way we can really improve is to spend money on a class recruitment team that spreads the net far wider. Having steadied the ship, if Scott does go for big money I think investment in the recruitment team would be a very positive step.

Wouldn't want the side show of his missus in the background

Would be good back in France where you get hours on the ball and tackling is banned

Never go back, how often has a returning player after long absence worked out. Good luck Joe and thanks for the memories

Queues will be longer as people rarely get the app properly open before they reach the turnstyle. Same as people using boarding passes on their phone

For me James and Naismith in the same teams leaves us short on energy and legs in the middle.

Problem is too many of the assists were for the opposition when he lost the ball in our half.

Cardiff a better bet than us?

The fact that some so say supporters cannot seem to watch a game without either being p***sed out of their head with a nose full of powder makes sensible and predictable behaviour just about impossible.
