    What I have  learn’t from the World Cup commentary is men’s team break and counter attack whereas women’s teams ‘transition’.

    Pivot just seems a modern fancy term for defensive midfielder.

     

    yeah! she uses this term alot,drives me mad?

    You can't just have an over entitled whinge about clubs overtaking us & not balance it with looking at clubs that we have over taken.

    We have no more devine right to success than any other club. 

    Of course it can be frustrating - but how do you think the likes of Derby, Wigan, Ipswich, Portsmouth etc feel..?.

    Glad we agree!

    NP could well have "gone down the garden to eat worms" lets see if he is around today/this afternoon first; if not we should look towards the "its my club and I`ll do what I want" guy and bring out the bed sheets.

    NP has certainly been keeping a low profile since AS left, today should clarify things.

    I remember the home made wine craze of the late 70's and early 80's, i ended up face down in the garden talking to the cabbages, hope the same fate has not befallen Nige!

    Scott is an exceptional talent - once in a generation for a club like ours. It was always going to be difficult to resists offers and to prevent him making the move that will boost his career.

     While Semenyo's sale pulled us back from the brink, from all of Mr P's posts on the subject it seems that we were still in quite a tight position with ffp so Scott's sale not only removes that worry, it gives us a buffer against it for a number of seasons. This means that we do not have to sell other young talent just to keep the books balanced, so it gives us a better chance to build a team to challenge. 

    As for Bournemouth, we became their feeder club the minute they had premier league money.:grr:

    Cannot disagree with anything you have said BUT BOURNEMOUTH BROKE ALL FFP RULES WHEN THEY WERE FIRST PROMOTED BACK IN 2011. Click on the link

    The bottom line is NP will never be allowed to build a team if we keep selling our best players. Sam Bell,TC,and Cam pring are already on the radar of the bigger clubs,so what chance does he have? Since when did we become Bournemouth's feeder club? Bournemouth????

    I have got nothing to say, really, apart from that the club has given him permission,” Pearson said. “Outside of that I’ve got no comment. I couldn’t give you the details… I knew (about the bid) today. And that’s it, I’m not saying anymore.”

     

    When pushed further, he added: “I’d been planning to keep him. It’s nothing to do with me. It’s a club decision. I’m disappointed because we’ve got a better chance of being successful if we keep our best players so that’s where I sit on it.”
