This latest episode just goes to show what a grotesque institution the PL has become. The game at that level is beyond ruin, all down to the ever increasing greed of TV companies, the so called top clubs and their global owners. And the sad thing is, is that the same is happening in the Championship.

I thought that Ayari had a little something about him. At least he played with his head up and was positive.

I'm not surprised at all! There's always an ulterior motive with this lot, and in this case I don't think it's purely financial. When we have the people running the shop as we do, whatever structure, appoinments etc. that are put in place, will inevitably be half-arsed in both planning and execution, and not done for the right reasons.

Yeah, that's the only financial scenario, but not the only scenario, that I can think of.

I'm not sure how replacing one salary/role with two could be seen as 'cost cutting'. In normal cost cutting/downsizing exercises, the opposite is true.

How do we configure 2FA for the site?

Perhaps I'm blind, but where is the 2FA option?

There is no problem. I doubt that anyone on here disputes your intention to attend every home game. Indeed, that's the reason why why most of us buy season tickets. But to say that you definitely will be attending every game is a bit of a stretch, when life in general has a habit of throwing things up. That's all that people are saying.

You're the one who's digging holes pal!

Have you ever heard the phrase 'setting yourself up for a fall'?

Chet Baker - I Get Along Without You Very Well

How do you know if you can make all 23 games? The fixtures aren't even out yet, let alone Sky getting their grubby mitts on them.

Didn't you previously say that the DOF/head coach set up was a 'proper football structure' ? That ended well! What makes you think, that under these owners and administrators, any structure would work? In 2 years time, we'll be back to square 1. Again.

A bit of a big 'if' there, me thinks. I admire your optimism, though.

I agree. Put all the other nonsense to one side, it still doesn't alter the fact that he wasn't up to much.

Spot on.

In the same vein, I'd also say that certain posters on here should offer other posters a little courtesy also.

I think we may well also get enquiries for Tronstad and Carter. Other clubs will know that we're skint, so they'll try their luck.

Broughton had already told some players before he left.

I'd rather he took a hands-off role, and instead they employed someone with an ounce of commercial capablity.

Well played for not rising. Some people are unable to converse or debate without resorting to repeated abuse or foul language.

Waggot will simply use the increased TV revenue to plug financial gaps. Let's not kid ourselves that he's going pass it on to us. It's the last thing he'd do.

FM24 incoming...

That day, and that first PL game on the BBE against Arsenal, I'll never forgot. Brilliant times.

Responsibilty vs accountablity. After the debacle of the previous January window, perhaps he should have hung around, not trusted anybody to do their jobs properly, made sure that those responsible did their bit & all the i's were dotted etc, to protect his individual accountability. Or maybe simply not got home that evening at 11pm cos he was 'tired'.
