More than a bit of controversy here Den. Whilst Lancs have only offered 3 options for the future of the County Championship other counties have offered 5 options, including a 24 game one, essentially leaving things as they currently are. One thing that around 92% of county members across the country want but hasn’t been offered as an option is to play two Championship games in August alongside the Hundred.

Don’t believe everything you read would be my advice.

Brilliant from England. Can't beat test cricket. Never write this team off. Leach or Dawson for Bashir. Maybe Atkinson for Woakes. Good 9 days rest now

In this league if you can get 350-1 or higher on literally anyone getting promoted or relegated it's probably worth a tenner at least. In recent years we've seen clubs relegated from the premiership get relegated again and clubs promoted from league one get promoted again. No Bookie is offering odds that long when there are three to go up and three to go down.

Could be the next Travis, could be the next Tomlinson. He’s an unknown quantity at the moment.

You attending today's forum meeting @K-Hod?

ChatGPT just making stuff up, probably based on odds towards the back of last season. No option on the site for relegation betting as far as I can tell

lol. That’s reliable. Have a look of Boylesports website. They haven’t got the market up just like every other bookie. For comparison, Newcastle are only 250/1 to get relegated from the Prem. Rovers were about 4/1 to be relegated last year and I suspect we will be about 6/1 this year. 350-1 😂

Can only assume it’s because you’ve been on the beers?

Start what? Almost every player gets more than almost every fan, usually far more. They are generously compensated, he's right. Maybe not relative to what they can get elsewhere, but as Championship footballers they have a standard of living most of us can only dream of, for doing a job we would all love to do even if it was for what we earn now.

Well we never build on what we do they do the exact opposite and pull it all to bits again so literally anything could happen.

Need your nose testing. Its what this churned.

I've been meaning to say myself that I found all the timings too coincidental, and that I suspect the club leaked the 'Brittain close to signing' rumour already knowing that there was strong interest from Boro and Derby and that a sale was likely. At a normal club, I'd be willing to believe we got unlucky, or that the story breaking made other clubs hasten their moves, but we aren't a normal club. Whilst I can't say it's definitely the case, I have to wonder whether Brittain was ever close to signing a deal or if they made it up knowing he won't be signing one and that they've got a replacement in ahead of time.

Just par for the course, no? Eustace got a bitchy statement. Waggott got a sentence.

Dont start please

The senior players were annoyed? Imagine how the fans felt. We have to PAY to watch this shit - they at least get generously compensated.

After all this shit...why do i feel strangely optimistic we'll be in playoffs first time come end this season ......... ahh this is what stockholm syndrome is

Still no talk of Ismael bolstering his coaching staff? Remember we were already 1 down after Downing and Gardiner left for Derby with only Whitehead coming in with Ismael. Lots of talk about Adam Murray coming but he's gone to Kidderminster instead. Now with Lowe out the door we are 2 coaching staff down on last season. No wonder they prefer this model. A lot cheaper.

Duru's gone from breaking through from nowhere, going out on loan to a L2 side and getting called up to the USA U20s to back behind a CM who did ok at Chorley on loan. Ouch.

There’s nothing like it. Fantastic entertainment. Felt sorry for Siraj, (I know) such an unlucky way to get out.

Another few quid saved, its like a competition to see how few staff a club needs to operate.

So am I right in thinking that there is still no announcement from the Club on the future of David Lowe, who apparently has left according to Ismael but the Club hasn't had the decency to announce it yet. Also after the appalling statement confirming the departure of the previous CEO after 7.5 years the club is yet to announce a replacement, timescale, update or indeed who is running the club in Waggott's place at the current time? Communication eh?

Rumoured to be Coventry City.

Happy for the post to be hidden, maybe should have sent it via IM

Lowe like Benson has always seemed well regarded by the players so whatever his actual coaching abilities it's another cog from the dressing room gone.
