Counter arguments: 1. Their owner is considerably richer than Bournemouth's. 2. They both have crap stadiums. 3. Er, that's it. You win then.

How about sh1t, creek, paddle?

Oh dear, do tell.

Can't they just buy 2 tier, Championship ready tents and double their capacity? Seems just as logical: if you erect the tents they will come and all that.

The man is in a bad way and if they had any decency our Gas friends would not exploit him when he is in a vulnerable state. It's a small scale version of the way people exploited Gazza imo.

They've upgraded the Boardroom and the catering to Championship-ready standard as well then.

I can see that as a Lowry painting, it's so bleak.

It's odd that they didn't given that: a) they have a richer owner than us; and b) they sold their best player for £10m. Doubtless they will still be coming for us next season though. Be afraid, be very afraid. Or possibly not.

Agreed, down with this sort of thing! It brings the forum into disrepute.

Or a village green perhaps? Plenty of room for walking dogs, the gap is so wide.

Not necessarily. I believe 4 of the top 6 do not have a 20 goal striker. We got to a play-off final without one. 20 goal strikers are rare so having a better defensive record and spreading the goals around the team may be more realistic.

I have no idea as I have no inside knowledge so I don't make assumptions then state them as if they were fact. For example, the improvement coincided with JP's departure but that doesn't prove a causal link. I just settle for being pleased with the turnaround.

You've spoken to the players I take it? Or are you just making an assumption?

There were some Brum fans complaining Rowett's football was boring. Mind you he was also reported to be talking to other clubs while at Brum.

Another great win for you today. I'd make Simon Grayson Championship manager of the year for what he has done with limited resources.

Got in from work. Is this that fake news thingy I keep hearing about?

The difference between a business and a hobby.

No attempt at all to track Wallace, just jogging behind him. Sheer lack of effort inexcusable.

I'm not sure if he left Burton when we were going well under SC or later but certainly SL was always going to appoint LJ as soon as he had the chance, whatever the competition.

That'll be the one who is joint favourite for the Swansea job? The Guardian reported he was talking to Championship clubs while still at Brum. My money's on Norwich.

Thougn Mick McCarthy hasn't had big money to spend so at least has some excuse.

Compare and contrast Huddersfield who play exactly the high tempo pressing and quick passing game LJ said we were going to play. Do we not have the players, are they not fit enough to play that way or has LJ lost his way?

Seems more likely we will sign another 'one for the future '. A tad worrying that we seem to have forgotten about the present in sole pursuit of a long term strategy. I think it was Keynes who responded to that mindset by saying 'Yes, but in the long term we're all dead.'

What happened to the pass and move football LJ wanted to play? Little in the way of passing and bugger all movement.
