Really want Wigan to win tonight.

They laughed at venkys our owners with chicken dances.

They laughed and cheered both relegations particularly the PL one when Alcatraz scores.

They laughed in large swathes as Dack was in tears coming off the pitch with 5000 of there fans booing him and the social media afterwards was horrific.

Paul “What are Blackburn doing this weekend” Cook when he was promoted first.

They don’t deserve for this to happen to them god no. But for a small team they’ve got some billy big balls in amongst them and a horrendous attitude, ask Bolton fans they still laugh at them.

I feel Chapman is just another example of a young player having a bloated opinion of himself, after having had too much in terms of financial rewards too young and having achieved nothing.

As opposed to the ultimate professional Jason Lowe?

Talent brings egos. You need a manager to deal and get the best out of those egos. We have Mowbray who’s got zero ability to manage different personalities hence he’s moulded us into what he wants.

Yes but Blackburn were topping wages up to 100% and now that's stopped is what the post said...

Yes thank you but what I’m implying is that possibly they’ll be coming back part time up to two days I think your allowed I.e 40pc. Maybe that’s why they’ve stopped the top up as they’ll expect them back in one day a week etc?

i could be completely wrong like.

I expect that such a plan is at least 6-7 years away from coming to fruition. They haven't even nailed down a location on the university site yet. Then they need to draw up all the plans. Given it is going to be near the countryside they will have to jump through multiple hoops to get permission on it. They want a rail link to it which will add to the timescales then actually getting it built will take years.

I suspect this is all strategic. It keeps the League off their back for a while as they show they are working to address the stadium issue. They can't stay at Birmingham long term. It will also apply more pressure on Wasps to do a deal for the Ricoh.

The Ricoh Bonds what Wasps raised when the labour ran council shafted Coventry have already been warned to breach covenants this year. They wanted to refinance the bonds as they expire in 2022. Don’t forget Coventry council are in court over the sale and the assistance of state funds to help wasps move in so it’s horrendous timing to be raising finance. Think Coventry FC are being smart here.

Apparently the non playing staff at the Club who have been furloughed had their wages topped up to 100% by Venky's in the months up to now which in my view was very generous of them.

However at the end of July they will only be getting the 80% from the Government, so, taken in conjunction with the allegation that there is no information forthcoming about budgets for next season I'm not sure if that's something that should be raising red flags slightly.

August it drops to 80 percent unless they’re back part time.

80 percent august then 60 September then zero contributions from government for October. 

That said there is a part time rule where 40 percent for two days can be met by the employer I think.

I haven't heard where he will end up, but Hannover 96 are going to let Ron-Robert Zieler go at the end of the season. I wouldn't be surprised if we are interested in him. Also a world cup winner!

Was a t Leicester and looked alright didn’t he a few years ago

no. 

Darlow has played 6 times this season. Much better than Elliott who has played a first team game for 2 and half years

Bettelini has played just short 200 games actually. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/marcus-bettinelli/leistungsdaten/spieler/116648/plus/0?saison=ges

I haven't said we should signing Darlow this summer. Mention him last summer. 

Care to reconsider?

I’d care for you to be correct chaddy.

Darlows stats as I indicated with Dabruvka ever present show he’s not played since the 4th Feb 18 against Crystal Palace, Elliott was 27th Dec in the PL which at the time shows Darlow deputised in place due to a back injury to RE, the 6 games you allude to are actually EFl cup games and early round fa cup games. See attached, you mentioned him last summer ??‍♂️ Besides a fee his wages would probably be too much anyways for someone who’s battled for the second jersey of Newcastle.

Bettellini has played 120 games for Fulham since 2013 at first team level. See attached, the 200 figure you allude to are national league appearances as a youngster and reserve games.

I see you didn’t pick up on Walton again, he hadn’t made a first team competitive start for Brighton with his experience largely being loans spells in L1 and L2 prior to 38 games at Wigan last year in the championship.

Bettinelli is a good keeper. 

I don't Darlow leaving Newcastle and according to Waggott in last season fan forum we couldn't afford last summer. So I don't it happening here

Rob Elliott has played a first team league game for 2 and half years at Newcastle. 

Funny has Karl Darlow who you mentioned played more than five games in two years? Only I think Dabruvka is first choice no? That said Walton hadn’t played competitively first team had he for Brighton? 
 

And Bettelini has around 100 games at 29 to elliots 200 games (34)at first team level with around 50 of elliots in the PL/FAC And 4 international caps as well as Newcastle player of the year 2016. 
 

Care to reconsider King Chadwick?

He hangs off Wigan. Never seems to have a good word to say about us.

Rob Elliott is another option I’d take a punt on easy

Chaddy. Good young players usually have egos that’s when you need a manager capable of managing egos. We haven’t.

Lenihan needs to be captain next season.

Not a huge Lenihen fan but can’t disagree he’d make a good captain.

Benno dropped a bollock at the weekend with that Brereton interview giving it large. I cringed massively.

All that can be true Chaddy but that doesn't mean the Hoyle guy isn't trying to re-coup some " loans " .

If you're a manager and the board are wanting to pick the team it's time to go.

There's a bloke I know who drinks in the same pub as me. He's really well in at Huddersfield, unfortunately I haven't seen him for months because he's an asthmatic and he's isolating. When I see him again I'll get the full story.

Hoyle has recouped some loads 15 million last year, 15 this year set to come in and 10 next year as he still will own 20 pc of HT.

I think we have cover for Downing and Graham. We need a first choice keeper, so I would say yes.

Graham doesn’t deserve another year anyways. We need to let him leave regardless this summer.

Id advocate the same for Downing too. I don’t see what he adds bar his array of passing he constantly slows the team down and he’s dropped off since Xmas. 
 

id get rid of both

Rob Elliot has been freed by Newcastle. He’s a handy keeper.

If Wigan don’t beat Fulham they are down and Luton are safe even if they lose. A bit like when we won the league

I like Luton and I’ve been hoping they’d stay up. Been on ana amazing run and they’ve some decent players like James Bree on loan from Villa, Pelly Ruddick in the middle and the winger front three man I like Harry Cornick.

Hope we send a lesser side out and go easy. It would be such a shame to lose this one and Wigan to get a -12 points given there love they showed us on both relegations, continued Venky’s and Cheering Dacks injury. How karma has a chance of biting back!

Brereton is like a series of The Walking Dead, does nothing all season then the final couple of episodes ramps up!

He was brilliant against Bristol city on the restart to be honest. 

Need defensive reinforcements. Bailey Wright is a free and looks to have turned Sunderland down. Once cost Bristol a few million, Aussie international, tough rugid type centre back. Would love to see him signed up as he’s an actual leader too.
