  1. It looks pretty obvious to me that whoever issued that statement doesn’t know what’s going on either. There is just nothing to be taken from it.
  2. Making decisions like deducting points from clubs at this time of year stinks. About time they scrapped these ridiculous rules and allowed clubs to run their finances as they wish.
  3. Yep, I reckon we have him to look forward to next season as well - managing whatever is left of the squad. Should have fans licking their lips.
  4. Good luck to them. They know what they have to do and so far are deservedly doing it.
  5. Watching Huddersfield vs West Brom on telly and every time I think of Huddersfield I think of this guy. Allan Gilliver signing for Jack Marshall in 1966.
  6. If I’ve ever seen relegation football, this is it.
  7. Something like “buy second division players, get second division football “?
  8. What football club would willingly sell their best players, not replace them and “plan” to just stay up? nobody with any idea of football would think that’s possible.
  9. So many times I’ve looked back at the squads that we had when we’ve been relegated and just thought “that was such a poor squad”. We’re pretty much at that point again. will I blame Eustace if we do go down? Heck no. The bottom line basically is that you fail or succeed depending on the quality of your players. JDT in my opinion did as much as any manager could have done, but the task he had, given the squad at his disposal, was just too much to ask. No particular manager is to blame for where we are. They can only work with what they have. If we want to pinpoint where things have gone wrong then we need to look at the people responsible for the impossible position every manager is being put in. It’s not good enough.
  10. Fantastic video. A tremendous amount of credit to everyone involved in it. Very touching.
  11. Talking about cricket, about the test side, about the first class county game, the one the one day game and the general direction of cricket in this country…. I was at the members forum at Old Trafford last night. The agenda was limited to the latest county wide updates on the hundred competition. Bear with me, there’s a lot to take in and I might not have got this 100% correct. Manchester Originals and the other seven Hundred teams are currently owned by the ECB. They are nothing to do with the counties apart from some of them lease out their grounds to those teams. The proposal is that the ECB will give a substantial allocation of shares in Manchester Originals to LCCC. I assume the same applies to everyone else. LCCC will receive an amount of shares worth well into the tens of millions. Being a part owner of M.O. will also allow them to look for and obtain sponsorship wort somewhere in the millions. Where does the money come from? Sky Tv. It should be known that Sky see no value in the county game. As far as the county game goes, the county championship loses money. Mark Chilton told the meeting that it’s so very difficult to get players to sign first class contracts because the players don’t make enough money from it. The players want to be playing franchise cricket, especially in the IPL. He’s hoping that some of the money that could come into LCCC from the obtaining of shares in M.O. will go into the county game. Who knows? The other side of cricket that excites the LCCC board is the women’s game. It’s growing so quickly and holds so much potential to become a money spinner. The current contract for the hundred ends in 2028. Lancashire could soon become a very profitable business. The counties that don’t host the hundred presently receive £1.3m per year as their share of the Sky hundred contract. Lancs will be way above that figure. Be in no doubt of where the game is heading.
