I said we were 350/1 however that was what came up from a search I did.

I hope there is some : Venkys Out Pasha Out Gestede Out This afternoon.

Also worth bearing in mind he's playing a position where experience is crucial to being a good player.

Poor sods.

Ipswich have a lot of players that are stand out Championship players that are unlikely to get Premier League moves. Greaves, Philogene, Clarke, Szmodics, Davis, Broadhead, Chaplin, O'Shea etc. Can see why they would be favourites. Even though they were so bad last year, it says a lot about the gap between the leagues that Southampton also have lots of really good Championship players. Leicester are the ones of the 3 who maybe look the least likely even before a points deduction.

That's the only way I can see Dubois winning. Usyk has just got way too much skill for someone to try and out box him.

I think you're a bit optimistic there but he did play 1 1/2 seasons last year so it will be interesting to see how he gets on after having a proper rest this year.

At the end of the day this job is just a stepping stone for him to get a job at a real club. Everyone throughout the game will know what a joke the place is so even if he's only moderately competent here then people will know that he's a miracle worker and can handle the jandal in tough circumstances. As soon as he's had enough or gets a better offer he'll be off and there's absolutely no way anyone can hold it against him. As I said when he arrived, it doesn't matter who's in that position, they are completely irrelevant.

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but some of the relegation odds are out. William Hill, SkyBet and Paddy Power, as far as I can see. The most generous (as in lucrative) odds offered are 6-1, which in a table of most generous odds puts as the 8th most likely team to be relegated. Sheff W are most likely at 1.62 to 1, and at the other end of the spectrum are Ipswich at 101 to 1. So whoever in this thread was saying we were 350 to 1 couldn't be more wrong. A glance around tells me more bookies than that are giving odds, like Betfred, offering 5.5 for us, but this is just what shows on Oddschecker. Looks like the bookies fancy us to struggle this season despite finishing 7th, and I'm sure most of us can see why. Personally I'm very confused at why everyone thinks Ipswich are most likely to win the league, but hey. I guess it's because of Leicester's likely points deduction and Southampton having such an awful season last year, making Ipswich theoretically the best of the three relegated...but personally I doubt they finish top 2.

Thanks. Yes it is very hot.

What sort of vanilla argument is that? You agree that "Venkys have been horrible owners in a lot of aspects" (interested in how that implys they have been good owners in other aspects---care to share that, I must have missed it?). "It's impossible to say we would be better off with other owners"--- of course it is! You're stating a hypothesis which is incapable of being contradicted! In the real world what's the chances of new owners being better than Venkys? 99.99999% recurring?

Any of our players could get injured. That's what happens when you play football. Oh but we will lose the transfer income? That we have been told won't be reinvested? Yeh I don't give a shit.

That's one of the best away shirts ever made. This new one is dog shit just like the two others.

Yes that's what I was saying and have been saying for a long time. The only reason for the club to not offer that is that they're deliberately trying to prevent people from attending. There's absolutely nothing to stop them from offering paying cash on the door.

Green ? Prefer it over the away tbf but still not keen

We have Yuki Ohashi. Did excellent in his first season and played 6 months before in Japan. He would have 13/14 goals if not for the injury he got. We need to be more goal threat from set pieces also

Well I read what I wrote but you could be right. Either way its a scandal.

My goodness, think you really do live in a fantasy world!

Everton are actually scoucers though.

That's my sneaking worry, I have a feeling we'll implode right at the end of the transfer window, with the likes of Travis and/or Tronstad picked off at last minute as it'll be last chance to get a fee for them and won't be time to get a replacement, then I agree we'll be in big trouble. Especially if we still don't have a striker.

Blimey have we actually signed an experienced defender?!

I park my car by Millmoor when I go to Rotherham away. You can walk up and peak through the gaps in the fencing and it's like a weird time warp, it looks like it is falling to bits, but I think it is still used frequently for local sports.

I'm underwhelmed by the home kit, partly because they didn't put much thought into it being an anniversary top, but mainly coz it's not proper blue and white halves or 'quarters', I don't know why they suddenly reverted to that and why the club ok'd it (I do know why, no one at the club gives a toss). I like the green kit a lot, I bought it. I like the colours, design, collar, everything really. I'm not sure about the yellow kit. I think from a distance it might just look like it's got dirt and sweat on it, as others have pointed out. It's not an aberration, it's just nothing too special. I'm surprised how divided we are as a fan base on the shirts, but it's not the end of the world. At least shirt chat is a welcome distraction from everything else going on. At this point, I would take our away kit being claret and blue with a big 💩 emoji on the front for the season if it magically rid us of these owners.

I got my hopes up then that we were signing Bali Mumba. Cracking little player IMO.

He was a good footballer!
