Jeez

Realistically - Twine is going to cost at least 4m as Burnley will look to recoup their investment - equally there just isn’t many attacking players with Championship experience that we can attract. Unfortunately 4-5m is what it will cost us unless we try a league one punt but for every Sykes is an Eisa. I say go for it - we’re desperately lacking in this type of position.

In general Match day attendances are up everywhere across the leagues post Covid bar the odd exception…..

National rail also showing 10am is cancelled. Just that 10am at the mo.

Trainline now showing cancelled again

In fairness to NTTDS it was showing as cancelled 5 mins ago but now showing as running again. Take that as a sign that anything could happen with the trains & have a plan b in your back pocket.

But they subtly are different things:-

Maybe now it’s more acceptable to believe that MA actually had little influence in the appointment of LJ & Deano.

Local paper suggesting Eustace is not even in the running. I think we're most likely going for Luke Williams and trying to sort out compo for Notts Co

Both videos suggest JL & BT created this situation themselves & drove the sacking on Sunday - obviously, SL sanctioned (maybe reluctantly) it but it is evident this was their cooked-up project - but they have completely misjudged it & are trying to smooth over (badly).

Thought he was on about 6 million a season at saints

It’s a great car - don’t knock it!

Fair enough Len - agreed! They better have a well worked plan to pull trigger mid season like they did.

Ok fair enough poor choice of words. mods - change “Rational” to “Balanced” not intending to wind anyone up on here just creating a channel discuss.

Maybe differing perspectives having slept on it. To be fair I’ve never seen anything like it on here.

Didn’t say anyone was. I get some fans are furious - just felt there needs a more balanced/rational/dust settled conversion. But seems everyone is raging & not prepared to look at it in the cold light of day.

Ok - maybe “Balance” would be a better title

Obviously - but many are reacting like we’ve sacked Pep for being 2nd in the prem.

None whatsoever - more a case of luck than judgement. I sense you’re too dug in to accept there were games where Pearson didn’t get it right.

A lot of the posts over the last 24 hours have got overblown. Hopefully we’ve slept on it & now have a bit more perspective. NP brought a lot of positives but let’s not kid ourselves, he can be difficult, we’ve collectively scratched our heads about subs & tactics and if he can’t manage the owners than he isn’t dynamic enough for this particular club’s needs. What we don’t know is how NP is received throughout the rest of the club & if he’s as hard to work with as his reputation suggests. I’m incredibly grateful for what he’s done in clearing out the overpaid disinterested players & instilling the positive work ethic, team spirit. It was a brutal sacking given the availability. But football managers are well paid & they know the score. His contract will be honoured until end of the season, we all knew he wasn’t getting a new one, so this is probably makes sense to get the new guy started now before the Jan window opens. Especially if they had already started the process & found the right candidate. There’s certainly more to it than we know & my gut is with the right appointment, squad depth & availability this group can kick on

Its called trying to bootstrap an EFL championship club. We’re reaping what we’ve sown.

Glad you’re not my IFA

That’s wasn’t my point

Here you go Steve, this is what it looks like when you roll the dice st the right time.

Get a grip love!

How much for the pair?
