  1. Yep. Though they probably don't have the consistency of mediocrity we do.
  2. They have a record of making mistakes and not acknowledging them. They also decide to undo the occasional good decision by making a bad one. The more I think about it the more a new owner really wouldn't have to do too much other than employ people who know what they’re doing.
  3. All good leaders know when to be inflexible and rigid and know when to be adaptable. I rather suspect Nige wasn't having their attempts to control him as he knew it would lead to regression. It was a power play he lost but he'd rather lose it and get sacked than carry on weakened.
  4. Watches of Bath sponsor Bristol Bears. A complete ****ing insult.
  5. The last 2 far more important weren't they?
  6. It's investment. Pure and simple
  7. A lot of the subs were planned to give players on the periphery a chance and most flunked it. DUNK, Gomez and Konsa are not doing it for me as elite defenders.
  8. The selection of games has been beyond weird this season. They're choosing Newcastle v Leicester instead of Northampton v Saracens next Friday.
  9. It's not difficult mate. It's jealousy. The equivalent of taking your ball home from a kick about in the park because one of your mates is better than you.
  10. They don't care. Should drop down to a 22 team division anyway. That would remove 4 of these evening games
  11. It's fans sussing out the owners and their minions and realising that they don't know what they’re doing or, if they do, that they don't want the club to be successful just saleable.

  12. Imagine next season home to Blackburn. Wednesday night, being streamed live on sky opposite Champions league. Will be down 10,000 in the actual ground.
  13. The underlying stuff was sorted out. Manning didn't need to sort out the basics. in fact we've got worse at them
  14. I've not long landed in Prague. Proper integrated, cheap transport. Mind you they had central planning for years and didn't get rid of their trams..
  15. 100%. He properly scared defenders. Especially when he had Martin backing into one CB and Weimann running off the pair of them.
  16. I don't think so. Think there has to be a minimum number of games at 3pm Saturday. They will probably publish initial fixtures then once Rugby Union and league (Hull) fixtures are known and clubs and Police forces have been asked will move games. Can't believe Sky will be too precious about particular games. Derby matches are guaranteed to be chosen
  17. So, this season we've had 4 midweek home games, 2 bank holiday games leaving 17 weekend games left. the Preston home game would have been streamed live which means we had 16 'standard' home games, 32 overall. So, the Average games moved per team = 5x32/12= 13.333. Each team is guaranteed 23 games apparently so the minimum moved is 9, maximum could be loads for the likes of Leeds etc. Now, thinking about this season, we had 5 games moved for various reasons. Leeds -Sky Swansea- clash with Rovers/police Cardiff - Police Hull - commercial/ scheduling reasons Norwich - clash with Rugby Now, I'm presuming Sky will be less precious about when games are played and which ones are chosen as it's 5 per week with 3 of these streamed rather than being in the TV. I imagine that everyone of those 5 would have been covered under the new deal anyhow if the kick off had to be moved anyway. Basically, my point is we are already messed about and in reality won't see too much of a difference.
  18. They won't publish the 24/25 prices till the STs have reached the end of the Advance stage I guess. If the intention is to get more people pay per game then they need to keep the prices low. But if they're too low people won't buy STs..
  19. And they're totally disenchanted with the whole Manning/Pearson/Tinnion thing. My son, nephew their mates etc.
