Lanterne Rouge Posted May 27, 2019 Report Share Posted May 27, 2019 2 minutes ago, ScottishRed said: Agree with all that, the problem is the clubs that make up the rest of the Championship - they should be ensuring that all clubs in the division abide by the rules. It looks currently that only Boro are prepared to take a stance on this. Take us as an example, both of those clubs in that game today had a handful of points more than us - had we binned off FFP and spent a bit more it could have been us at Wembley in the ‘ £170m’ - why were we not right behind Steve Gibson? More to this than meets the eye. I can only assume, and of course I could be wrong ,that an element of ‘ if you can’t beat them join them’ is starting to take hold. The trouble is, past experience of the EFL tells us that if we went a fiver over our limit they`d throw the book at us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder whether SL finds himself in an awkward position with Mark Ashton holding a position on the EFL board. This being the case, it would be more than embarrassing if we contravened FFP. As for SL supporting Gibson or taking action himself , and especially bringing the EFL to task for their failures, could put him up against MA. If this is the case then the best we can hope for is that MA is working on the inside to get some change to the EFL's weak stance on enforcing FFP.

I don’t remember making promotion predictions this time last year but it was obvious to any knowledgeable football fan that Norwich would be a force.

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted May 27, 2019 Report Share Posted May 27, 2019 I wouldn’t rule out Luton causing some upsets, certainly in the first half of the season. Nobody likes playing at Kenilworth Road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting.... Odd you didn't once mention this on OTIB, despite frequently posting about things you tell us you don't have an opinion on or aren't interested in. One time you have such amazing foresight, not a mention. What are the chances! By way of brief sanity check - a quick search finds a pre-season thread last summer about Stoke being favourites which you contributed to 6 times on the first page, to say you don't think Stoke will do it. Now that was a good prediction, but for some reason you missed an obvious opportunity to mention this additional Norwich vision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They finished 14th the previous season and sold their best 2 players Nobody knew Pukki would make the impact that he has. I honestly can’t think of a single person who tipped them before August.

Olé Posted May 27, 2019 Report Share Posted May 27, 2019 8 minutes ago, Robbored said: it was obvious to any knowledgeable football fan that Norwich would be a force When Saturday Comes is a long standing football magazine which I think it's fair to say caters more to proper people that go to football and watch the game at all levels, rather than the glossy magazines sold in newsagents to plastic Premiership fans. Each season their club-by-club preview is produced by long-standing fans of each club, and their predicted league table is made up of the average predictions of all the fans across the division, so a good representation of knowledgeable football fans. Incidentally, Norwich's own supporter said they might just scrape into the play offs. Clearly it wasn't obvious to him, but perhaps he's not knowledgeable enough - though the phrase "knowledgable football fans" itself sounds like vintage Robbored trolling.

Robbored Posted May 27, 2019 Report Share Posted May 27, 2019 You obviously don’t chat with the same City fans as me then. I do remember two guys in the SC&T bar saying they liked the look on Norwich and thought they’d do well. They'd sold Maddison and had recruited well although back then nobody predicted that Pukki would become so prolific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gillies Downs Leeds Posted May 27, 2019 Report Share Posted May 27, 2019 Early betting has Fulham as 8/1 favourites. As others have said, it looks really wide open next season.

BS4 on Tour... Posted May 27, 2019 Report Share Posted May 27, 2019 Great to see a massive club back where it belongs - and Villa has a fine manager too ... and good to see Jack Grealish promoted for the first time - and as skipper of the club he supports - that really is living the dream! And the way he handled getting assaulted on the pitch earlier in the season was superb ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Villa were wonderful when we played at Villa Park , you could see his influence . I so wanted him at City , this last season in Oct when we were dire again . I hope he does ok in the Prem , he did his apprenticeship before his dream job , Villa were a mess but what resources .... he delivered what should have been easy with that budget . I like the way he sets up his teams . I like Dean Smith although dislike Villa. The story about his dad was very moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair play to the young captain tonight Hope he enjoys his night. He totally deserves it. They have been pretty much unbeatable since his return from injury. Great talent.
