REDOXO

We had a period where the opposite was true in the 70s….but yeah.

They were world beaters waiting for their ordination after we played like ass at AG against them! According to some. My word we were bloody awful that night.

Hate quoting myself sorry! Thats how I took that statement…..Renew now or very soon as we may not sell you a season ticket! I hope that was not what was meant, however I won’t renew mine until I see commitment to support THEIR guy in all areas where necessary! Personally I think we have players who are coming through who are earning a chance plus Benarous Atkinson etc, so I don’t necessarily mean purchases. But if we sell Conway/Knight/Pring etc I expect to have an idea how that is to be reinvested. The CFO of BS stated on FBC words to the effect that there never was a ‘nest egg’ and much of the money was already spent. Thus I’m not sure where the nest egg comment came from but that particular bloke needs to STFU! For my tuppence I’ll buy mine in July if I see that commitment. If they won’t sell me one then, if I deem it worthy they shalt GO **** Themselves !

Thanks. Very helpful! Do we know what the% POTD is?

I am so confused! How many season tickets have actually been sold to supporters? How is withholding seats in the South Stand advantageous to the football club? Am I off base here, but are the club threatening/implying they will limit sales of season tickets at a relatively low level? All help appreciated!

The implication is clear! Allardyce didn’t go into confidentiality clauses are two way, just for fun. They are bound to have spoken about it. That was as close to ‘my (NP) lawyers had a word’ as you will get. (Ref Tinman Lansdown Junior post termination excuses) I also think that there was a little warning there.The fact that NP said what he said about hearing the reasons after he had left and the termination agreement agreed, is as close to a violation of a confidentiality clause as it can be…..read (I think it was actually said as a generalization) you did it first Lansdown/Tinnion Many CC’s will have terms of expiry. Ask me in a year is letting everyone know that you might want to extend that if you want to keep it out of my autobiography! I agree it’s clear that what we saw at the time was not in someway not what Happened. It’s exactly what happened! Brilliant show btw. First class insight into what goes on behind the scenes by Allardyce and Pearson!

Thats the truth!! Unfortunately the lads seemed to give the guy a metaphorical get out of jail free card in one section, answering their own stuff. However it was the best opportunity we’ve had to listen to the bloke speak and I am extremely grateful for the effort that takes! I’m not sure the radio Brizz journos would have been better or even got that amount of time. So nice job!

Kelly on for Scott muff down to ten

There was a flailing arm, but again very 50/50.

Disallowed!

Wolves never in it equalized Mybe not. Review!

Hey @phantomgo ahead and merge the threads. We obviously did the same thing at the same time PS I love the ignore button!

Bournemouth playing very well. Semenyo scored and in 1/0 up at HT thoroughly deserved. Scott started and is moving the ball nicely Everton beating Liverpool 1.0 Man U losing at home to Sheff Utd. Hull 2/1 up at Cov

Way to many statements made and answered by the interviewers in respect of finance and spend. Ask the question and let Marshall answer. The comment about nest eggs is where many were left perplexed. Now it seems there never was a nest egg all the money had been pre-spent Did Marshall say there was a clause if a sold player becomes OOC?? Or am I hearing things. Very interesting stuff. I do get in order to get future interviews, you don’t necessarily want to be too probing. I think that other podcasts have suffered from that in the past, but decisions have to be made. Nevertheless it was some communication by the club that has been massively lacking, particularly in view of the outright garbage last October. Many thanks all!

Glee? Not sure that too many could be accused of that if sales are down (There are always one or two odd balls on any subject) I agree the more fans in the ground the better. Nonetheless what happened this season in respect of the firing of the previous manager, making statements that were plainly not accurate and the employing of a new one giving him a very clear promotion mandate comes at several prices. The main one being many will hang on to their money until BT JL and to an extent LM have not only spoken about intent for the season, but have been seen to have backed that up in some way. I think that’s fair! I haven’t listened to the FBC podcast out today, yet! But I’m hoping that the vocalization of that intent is clear

Is that about a 15-20% drop on last season Dave?

Why do you bother! I'm sure Cotswoldred2 is a nice chap however the obsession with attacking Pearson, brushing over the reality of what happened and posting arguments on here is weird.

He really hasn’t proved anything! As Robbored said most are trying to get behind him. Mr Manning has got so much better with interviews in the past a few weeks which has coincided with an unbeaten run. I don’t see those things as completely unrelated issues.

I was brought up in Guildford so know the Rec well. City games were always their biggest draw unless they were in the same division as Reading. Right fiesty affairs as the home and away support were separated by a fence and three fat blokes with yellow bins on. My old man got hit by a shoe one season and whisky bottle the next. :laugh:! was there for Shutts scissors kick. Screamer!

So how far do you need to be offside if you play for Leeds.

It, of course, is not VAR per se. However application of it can be extremely iffy! I said somewhere, there was one nailed on Peno. No doubt!! There were two that could have gone either way. The handball reminded me of ours V Huddersfield! Some say yes some say no! The first shout the same. Some say yes some say no! However the one where he’s gone through the player from behind and not touched the ball is deeply concerning! I wouldn’t go along with the VAR ref is a cheat, BUT there can be covert bias! The onfield ref needed help and it didn’t come! Forest have a right to be furious on that count! On a slightly different subject the Coventry offside goal is an example of how VAR has got everyone in a hole. To go that long in a game of that magnitude to say someone is offside by less than a centimeter is hardly clear and obvious (unlike the penalty shout at Everton) My thought is that VAR operators have got it right more than wrong but the laws have to be tightened and the appearance of any impropriety be taken seriously. Billions are spent on sports betting with careers and clubs futures on the line in some big games. If rules are not clear and operated effectively we might as well go back to not having it! In the meantime someone will have to explain publicly how that was possibly not a penalty and Forest will get shafted for publicly pointing it out

How do you turn the fans favorite boo boy Zac Vyner into a good footballer How did you turn a bit part perpetual loanee like Cam Pring into a premier League target How did you turn Antoine Semenyo into a premier league striker from an 80 page thread saying he wasn’t a championship striker as he couldn’t score goals. What did you do to ensure Alex Scott becomes a superstar Did you ever tell Max OLeary to get a proper shave

I’m not so sure about presses and formations, however we look more confident and tellingly Mr Manning sounds more confident. So something symbiotic is going on. I would not be surprised if some kind of come to Jesus meeting was had that obviously altered our approach! I like you don’t expect to hit the heights every game, however when we are off it we are awful. A few less of those eye gouging performances would help my blood pressure!

There are some nut jobs on here. Luckily I have most on ignore, but when other posters quote them it’s like a train wreck you can’t take your eyes off. As for Mr Manning. I am all over the upturn and glad that we are not heading to Stoke looking for something. An upturn in form in a mid table end of season snooze fest is good and I’m a good with that. However we were utter toss against a Huddersfield team that got tonked 4/0 at home yesterday, with a 50/50 Peno (I would have given it) papering over how shit we were and keeping an unbeaten run going. My position is I will wait for now with season tickets, see what happens over the next two games and in the closed season. I am hopeful for Mr Manning but remain unconvinced!

I thoroughly enjoyed that afternoon. Who cares how we were getting on at Crawley. Mansfield even had their shirts on! I still think we should sign Colin Daniel!
