Don't really blame him to be fair. Probably offered him less per week than the cost of his driving lessons.

I think the worry is that we’ve got a threadbare squad

As someone who works in IT, specifically Data Management, I can see the 'benefit' of NFT's for things such as the UCL final etc. However, they don't need to be an NFT. The tickets for Euro 2020 that were on an app worked perfectly well... NFT's are in short, a load of bollocks and their value will disappear as quickly as it's appeared, because it's essentially made up.

This is also my exact fear. But I don't think they're daft enough to have not had assurances on figures and relied on vague terms such as "healthy", which I am almost certain Waggot would've tried to sell them the dream on. The prick.

From purely playing FM I think it's the latter. Obviously just a game but it's quite an important part of the immersiveness, so I'd presume it's correct.

FWIW when I spoke to the ticket office on Friday, the particular sales rep I spoke to didn't know the cost nor the allocation as those above simply hadn't told him. Doesn't shock me that there's incompetence at management level down Ewood...

Yeah, I called the club this afternoon. Expectation is they'll be on sale on Monday, details beforehand (they hope). Celtic have sent the allocation down.

It’s a loose source at best and I’ve asked a Celtic fan I know who’s said that it’s actually in their Season Ticket pricing so unlikely to be off, but I heard it so I posted on the off chance it could be corroborated.

Been told this evening that the Celtic friendly is off as they’re abroad. Given that they play in Czech Republic against Banik Ostrava and then Legia Warsaw away, I’d say they don’t want to travel back for a friendly against Rovers.

Sounds like GB hired him. So what has Waggott been doing for a month? Prick.

He should qualify due to playing a large amount of minutes for Bodo in the league, them winning the title and doing so well in the ECL with him playing a large % of the minutes in that too. I just calculated him to 16 points without an international cap using the below: https://worldfootballindex.com/2020/12/work-permits-premier-league-post-brexit-english-clubs-efl-libertadores/

Typical as they're the 2 new appointments, but I've had a look at Malmö & Bodo's squads contracts that are expiring. Nikita Haikin (Bodo) as a backup GK looks to be a good option and he looks potentially good enough to step up if/when a bigger/better club takes Tommy K from us. Out of contract in December and would qualify for a work permit due to having British Citizenship. Erdal Rakip (Malmo), North Macedonian international who can play in midfield and as a right winger. Out of contact in December and WP likely. Obviously just from Googling but the Work Permit issue isn't as bad as it seems.

Those comments sound eerily familiar to the ones in the report that was used to justify pushing a World Cup every 2 years. The people involved at the top of football are fucking clueless.

Look at the squad he had to work with, hardly a vintage Championship side. 18th or 19th with no money spent in itself would've been an achievement.

Fair enough, you're allowed an opinion, but if you're underwhelmed by the guy who's side utterly dismantled Jose Mourinho's Roma side 6-1, what exactly would it take to excite you?

My thoughts exactly

He wouldn’t have been my first choice but he’s much more exciting than Dunc or Unsworth…

I see Rich Sharpe has now committed to his name. As good as done. Deila believe in life after love?

DF in the Championship. Played: 138, Won: 71. 51% TM in the Championship (with us) Played: 198, Won: 72. 36%. Had Tony matched DF, he would’ve won another 30 or so games. Across 4.3 seasons, an extra 20 or so points per season…

Looked like Lenihan completely fucked up a cross once again to me, and it fell luckily to Dack. I wasn’t sure if he was on or off, but to be fair to the linesman, he flagged instantly. So whatever he saw he was certain of. The officiating today was a complete fucking disgrace - the fact that the foul/free kick at the end took 2 minutes to resolve, and he blew as soon as TK kicked it, was blatant cheating. I can’t believe more aren’t fuming about this. He saved Mowbray a lot of abuse though.

What?

Could this not work in our favour? They’ve royally fucked him about, embarrassed him big time, in pursuit of mind games (or maybe it was genuine, who knows), if I was him, I’d want revenge and the best way to get that is give us 110%, get us promoted and subject them to the joys of being screwed by FFP. All theoretical, but it could have that effect…

What’s the betting he has a knock around April 30th?

I’d wait for his answer then get Travis to ask him again, and then Darragh, Johnson, Van Hecke & Nyambe for good measure.

Looks like Hayden Carter is off to Pompey. Don’t have a link but reliable enough information.
