Rotation particularly in the engine room. TGH for Williams I reckon.

They both started v Brum ! So how is that rotation?

Normally the NY home fixture attracts a very decent attendance. Peeps that work don’t usually return until the 2nd January so attend AG even if it means coughing up PotD prices.

Thanks for that, very insightful observation there RR.

Perhaps we could speed the transition process up by your arranging weekly meetings with LM to keep him up to speed on these things.

No point, RR wouldn't turn up!

 You list Cardif as a good example.?!

 

I list Cardiff as a club who have had 2 promotions to the Premier League during SL's tenure. That's all.

As far as I'm aware Tan doesn't play in the team or coach the side. He has hired people to do that, people who have performed better than the people the Lansdowns have hired.

I don't like that club, or their fans, and the behaviour over Sala is disgusting, but the comparison is that even a **** like Tan can get Cardiff promoted while SL continues to fail and make bad decisions - handing the reins to Jon and over promoting BT are the latest mistakes.

What then..?

You'd like the Lansdowns to pack up & move off, selling up to some dubious foreign owner...?

 

 

Foreign owner?  Heaven forbid!  Foreign owned clubs like Forest, Burnley, Leicester, Fulham, Wolves, Cardiff,Bournemouth, Leeds, etc etc who have all had promotion to the Premier League during Lansdown's ownership. None of us want that.

Not the answer I was looking for Dave………

He simply meant that in his opinion - and experience - the manager needs to have total control and being the highest paid reflects that. There's obviously no rule,  just his perspective.

AF spoke a lot in the many books written by and about him regarding the need for total control to manage effectively, he ruthlessly got rid of any player who he felt tried in whatever way to undermine his control - Beckham, Stamm, Keane, Van Nistelroy, etc.

Didn't mention the rugby fans though, I believe they drink beer outside as well.

Every year at Christmas our local council (commune) here in France deliver a box of choccies to every resident at Christmas. 

Today the Mayor knocked on the door with a bottle of Rose, chocolates, Quail & grape pate, Goose pate, nougat & and free christmas tree.  How civilised is that ?

I love this country.

Is he up for re-election soon by any chance ?

I still think the end goal is for some form of world league. 
 

interesting that they’re saying it will be shown for free. 

Free to start with ( to drown out the objections and get fans onside) but no doubt charges will follow. BT sport was free ( to BT broadband customers) when it launched PL coverage but now they charge like everyone else.

Giving players stick has gone on for ever and a day, who can remember Stanley Bowles when at QPR in the '70s after his missus had ran off with someone else and the whole EE singing to him about her running off with the milkman !!!

Yes, we've dished it out as well,  remember Jamie Cureton ?  So bad he didn't reappear for the second half .

Last 6 games they've lost 0-1,  0-3,   0-3, 0-4,  0-3,  0-3.

P6  W0 D0 L6   Goals For 0   Against 17

The 0-4 was a FA cup game., but that's some streak.  Can the manager survive that run?
