  1. Might be cheaper to let you have a free ST than the cost of the call!
  2. So is he Championship Manager or Football Manager? Answers on a postcard to Jon Lansdown!
  3. I couldn’t disagree more. He did not dive / blatantly dive, he was caught by the keeper at pace, and then tripped / stumbled. That doesn’t mean it’s a penalty, contact can occur and it not be a foul. But that also mean that every non-penalty must be a dive. ++++ Remember Theo Walcott on Football Focus in his early days at Saints getting booked for diving. So they did some tests of him sprinting (remember how quick he was) and someone giving him a little nudge. He couldn’t stay on his feet. So the slightest touch at pace can look worse.
  4. I’d rather get penalties than MOTM awards! I
  5. To be fair to your to be fair, he said 12k at an earlier point than when Gavin Marshall said 8k. I guess he could have more real-time data than Gavin, or maybe Gavin told a few porkies to FBC and it was near 12k but he was trying to play it down in an attempt to get more late renewals. Tbh, it doesn’t really matter, the 12k announced was very good. I suspect @IAmNick might be able to furnish us with another “data scrape”?
  6. And been a few money concerns there too I believe
  7. Some of the euro leagues domestic / regular seasons don’t end just yet either, e.g. Belgium / Denmark 26th May France L1 19th May / Lg2 17th May etc Plus there are some running Summer calendars, e.g. Sweden and Norway. The vizzes are prepared, in case of rumour!!!
  8. Not YPOTM….but POTM nomination!
  9. Put it this way his remuneration topped £500k in the two seasons of high transfer profit, and then went down! And yes, would’ve been better to waiting til June 1st to sell Lloyd Kelly and not make a profit in 18/19.
  10. JP didn’t need to, he’d worked that out already!
  11. Very similar. DMd you mine. You might chuckle at one bit!
  12. West Brom’s ended 22/23 Norwich's end 23/24 Southampton and Leeds end 25/26
  13. Good football administrator Recruitment (in / out) Some may question the recruitment out bit, but between him, the board and LJ, they didn’t use the money well, and I very much suspect MA saw transfer profit / P&L directly reflected in his CEO remuneration, ie a conflict of interests / vested interest in trading players, when that might not have been the right thing to do.
  14. In all honesty I don’t think they do, but they also don’t recognise what they had and what they did.
  15. He also said…”or expertise”. Well some / all of that expertise required (PL experience / getting to the PL exoerience) was sacked last year: Alexander Pearson Euell Fleming Rennie Think it proves they don’t follow strategy. Harry’s “waffle” post the other day summed it up perfectly.
  16. I worked with Emma, shall be donating.
  17. My guess is that little will happen until the PL season ends. If we can get Burnley’s asking price down (£5m) considerably then maybe it’ll happen, otherwise we will move on during close season. I don’t see us letting drag into pre-season, let alone the start of the season.
  18. Nor is it embarrassing that they had a mid-table / top half championship budget to get out of league one. The likes of Sam Morsy don’t go from Boro to Ipswich for a league one wage do they? But some posters just seem to delight in posting petty jibes in supercilious fashion, thinking a laughing emoji will hide it.
  19. Probably a quick glance at transfermarket, ignoring the fees with “?” Against them.
  20. Part guess work, part I don’t like him!
  21. I saw one Tweeter saying it was 85% done! What does that even mean? Burnley don’t even know what division they are in next season yet. My own thoughts are that nothing has happened yet, other than keeping channels open.
