Numero Uno

And the delivery was decent most of the time too.

Yeah, let’s immediately condemn the kid as not good enough.

No, it’s not reminiscent of the Huddersfield game which was a total embarrassment that we won.

Btw you’ve gotta say well done to Sam Bell for doing a job.

You won’t see the anti’s or the ambivalent’s for an hour or three. Need to regain their composure. Btw wonder if our ? of a Chairman expected that bastard?

Had an excellent game today. I can see Boro getting to the play offs and winning them, Wilder has them playing.

There is one interesting selection.....a J Lansdown has been registered this afternoon and will be playing Centre Midfield with the words "you do ******* better then" ringing in his ears.................

Correct, I was told the same by the SLO on a stadium tour I did as part of a networking event.

I'm sure many people on this forum have been in a work situation when they feel their boss is out of order and whilst enjoying the job they are in have decided "sod it, they can have a bit back" and if I get fired then so be it. You must have personal pride that prevents you being treated with contempt.....if you have anything about you that is. I know I have said my piece in the past when it needed saying and I never got fired, it had the opposite effect. Employer/Employee relationships are not a one way street, the employer has a responsibility to the employee too.

The vast majority of it is to be fair. Just go through the squads of everyone below Rangers and Celtic and try and claim it isn't.

Cotterill's interviews at the end of his tenure oozed frustration with those above him. He wanted to move the club forward but way too quickly for the Lansdown's liking. Instead they have subjected us to a "death by 1000 cuts" FFP shambles.............."oh but how could they predict Covid would happen?", 91 other clubs in the same boat and my guess is that Millwall, Luton, Brentford and Preston didn't lose £38m last season. They actually have a Manager who is prepared to work within the constraints of the shambles they have created and he isn't good enough for them apparently. All I can say is ******* best of luck when Michael Appleton or equivalent rocks up next......................that said I could easily imagine Steve getting on the phone to LJ, that will shift the season tickets!!

Exactly. Would be better if they did nothing and just said "sorry for the misunderstanding" in the Summer. With ego's at play here though I could see a scenario where NP is either sacked in the misguided view they will sell more season tickets or he simply tells the Lansdowns to do one. It's on a knife edge I think. What I do know though is if the Lansdowns sack Nige after letting him start the job then they are finished with me. I was hoping that after 20 years of ineptness on the football decision making side of things they had finally decided to let two blokes with experience run the show.................

Not with the Lansdown’s running the show no. In fact you could argue we are due a basket case decision from the top. They own our football club but football family they ain’t.

He’ll be on a nice little compo package, he will sleep well tonight ?

Couldn't agree more......but if somebody else with a bit of nous told him to say it!!

A cynic might suggest that JL knew exactly what he was doing………

I’d hazard a guess that he’s far better than Swiss…….

Ambivalent my arse????

Quite right but you have to look at the situation and think that Nige is starting to not give a **** now. Add to that an Owner who certainly doesn’t take criticism well which presumably extends to his family and it does feel like we are at a crossroads……….

The losses caused by spending more on player wages than turnover? Those losses? Forgive me for failing to give our Owner credit for that.

Gotta be honest I do struggle to maintain any interest in clubs who all wanted to **** off to their own cosy little super league about 18 months ago......................... Super League with Arsenal and Tottenham in it..............**** me!!

Reading got no heart, Peterborough plenty but not much ability at this level.

I think this fixture will be repeated next season.

He literally looks lost out there and it’s not exactly a high standard around him!!
