And Its Smith

The analogy doesn’t work as you obviously saw a path to success and the riches that come with it. If Conway stays they won’t come to him. There is no sign he will get promoted with us

Well I know what I’d do if i was him, same as I moved employer last year for a pay rise and promotion. It’s a short career so can’t see him turning down more money elsewhere

Why would Tommy stay if someone is offering to pay, say, double what he is on now? Or even 50% more? He can move, get a big pay rise AND boost his wage demands further still for his next contract

I’m sure the 3 teams that come down from the Premier League and a few of the top teams in this division that don’t go up will be interested in him. That would be a good step forward for him, a low fee for them and he’d probably double his wages. I would guess that teams like that are waiting to see what league they are in before offering him anything formal. There are bound to have been conversations.

I’m hopeful of a lottery win

Is this on Spotify only?

Worse than that, it says he’s methods are ‘very unique’. Things are either unique or they aren’t. They can’t be very unique. The club should be very wary!

A friend of mine has a kid who is 13. Incredibly good player but very small. He’s rejected 3 Prem Clubs and Bristol City so far. Very brave decision.

My son played for BIC. I found the parents to be a lot worse than Sunday morning football. They seemed to think their kids were going to make it. The coaching is much better though especially if they are training twice a week. Quick improvements but quite drill based which put my son off. The games do get scouted quite a lot by City, Rovers, FGR, Cheltenham, Cardiff. Overall I’d say if your child just loves anything football then it’s great. If they just want to play matches in training then it’s not for them.

VAR ruins football again.

One of the most embarrassing statements from a club I’ve ever read

A player saying something positive about a a manager that some fans don’t like? Must be staged/forced

I think this shows that people will find stuff to get annoyed about at the moment.

Outrage over a press conference?! I guess some are just not that way inclined

https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/bristol-citys-old-cat-learning-9234818 Thought it was worth sharing. Good to hear him being complimentary on Manning. Don’t think he would say it if he didn’t believe it either.

https://www.theposh.com/news/official-club-statement-changes-emirates-fa-cup-format Strong statement from Posh

Been dreading this inevitable decision. Awful, horrible move

The contract hasn’t been cancelled yet then..

Not happening apparently. Seems like it was nonsense

Some thought it was a conspiracy. Obviously that was nonsense. Every fan thinks refs hate them the most. Over the last two seasons I’d imagine it is evened out

Good thread

Luton took a punt on Ross Barkley and that’s worked out pretty well. Just hope Dele doesn’t price himself out of going to a team like that so that he can play.

Very good interview with Dele Alli on MNF. He seems in a much better place now, mentally. Talking about wanting it again and being hungry. Only 28. Will be interesting to see where he goes next. Wants to go to the World Cup in 2026. His priority needs to be going to somewhere where he will play.

I don’t think it was neither team wanted to lose. It was neither team thought they could win from where the game was.
