    Surely that is more on Marinakis? I stand to be corrected though.

    West Ham have a Sporting Director or similar- him and Moyes had different views on transfer activity in summer, dunno what the structure at Crystal Palace is like.

    I note that Cooper at Nottingham Forest was listed as Head Coach, not Manager.

    Must have been nice for him in the promotion season to at least have the choice of all those players. How he would have coped if they hadn't got promotion is another speculation.

  11. Driving Licence Format

    in General Chat

    My first job in Somerset CC was in the car tax/driving licence office in Taunton. That was still running between 1971 and 1975. Perhaps the people who update the Government website weren't even around then!

    Judging by the date on the OP's mother in law's licence - 1976, there was still alot of catching up to do.

  15. Are Some Clubs Destined For The Premier League?

    I don't think we can wholly compare like with like, we were walking bit of a fine line with FFP.

    Now could we have invested the January money better absolutely but we were not too far off our Upper Loss limit in January 2018. (They were checking financials in March by this stage).

    We wouldn't have made top 2 anyway IMO 2017-18, top 6 playoffs perhaps should have.

    Cardiff were also in receipt of Parachute Payments, we were not.

    If we were sold, as an estimate, how many years and how much restructuring would be required, whilst staying within FFP, before we could make the PL?

  18. Thank you for making me feel welcome!

    I just wanted to say thankyou for welcoming me to the forum over the past month.

    I am new to the forum after being a "guest" and observing from a distance for many years. I decided to sign up and participate and get involved in the discussions on the forum. I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has responded to my threads so far and joined in the discussion and those who have made me feel welcome at at home on here. It was nice to be accepted and welcomed on the forum and I am really grateful. 

    I also wanted to say to the mods and the people who run this forum, what a fantastic fans forum it is.

    Looking at other club forum pages who are not as well designed or as professional as ours. On other teams forums when I go and visit (often before we play them to see what their view points on the upcoming game is) I am often bombarded with adds and difficult to navigate etc. What a great community we have here on OTIB and proud to be apart of  it. 

    Thanks everyone, 🙂

    You may feel proud to be apart from it sometimes!

    I'm still wondering how we lost both games to them last season. 

    But just goes to show if you have a team that works hard and doesn't give up then you can get out of this league that way. 

    Their problem has been their lack of investment. 

    Our losing both matches could have something to do with the officials overlooking some horrendous fouls and them keeping 11 players on the pitch?
