We have enough injury prone defenders - Nyambe, Ayala and now Pickering. We don't need another one, thanks all the same.

They could offer a loyalty scheme for those who buy a certain number of individual match tickets over the course of the season. Buy a ticket for any 5 individual games, get the next one free. That sort of thing.

Insane pricing. On the back of the Sheff Utd game, they had an opportunity to encourage people to come back and keep building up the home attendances. We could have got over 20k for this. My cat has more business nous that Waggott.

I can imagine Mogga fuming at the sight of Kenny visiting Ewood. 'It's not 1995 any longer, you know. I've got a journey to finish'.

Exactly. 3,000 up on previous games.

I reckon that Hughton would get us pretty close to promotion. Warnock and McCarthy are probably knocking on a bit too much.

John Robertson at Forest was the best non-Rover winger I've ever seen. My dad used to take me to see Forest occasionally in the early 80's when they played at Utd, City etc. Robertson was mesmerising.

I suppose the modern day equivalent of a chairman is a CEO, which we do have. Not a very good one, mind you.

Dyche is a victim of his own success. By that, I mean keeping Burnley in the Prem by playing to their strengths, which perhaps isn't the prettiest. As a result, he's tarnished - possibly unfairly - as a hoofball merchant. He's probably been there too long now for opinions to change.

The Sheffield fans were pretty quiet I thought, considering that had that many. Mind you, their team isn't exactly much to cheer about.

It's a really interesting thing you do here btw, hats off to you for taking the time and trouble 👍

No arguments from me either 🙂....I was just trying to say that there's more than one way to get success. Without a decent manager though, it's impossible. Yeah, Sheff U were poor alright, in complete contrast to Fulham who they came down with.

I'm surprised that Davenport scored so low. I thought that he was one of our better players on the day.

Sorry. I'll go and wash my mouth out 🙂

And how much money have Norwich made in 3 seasons yo-yo'ing? 2 lots of promotion money, 2 lots of PL money, 2 lots of parachute money... Anyway, I'll qualify my comment. It's brought them no more on field success than Norwich or Sheff U. The point I'm trying to make, though, is that this moneyball thing isn't the be all and end all. It's merely one way of running a club, and one way to possibly become successful. The 2 other clubs I mention have been successful via a different approach. As have Burnley, for that matter.

Irrespective of what the moneyball means and how Brentford apply it, its brought them no more success than Norwich, Sheff Utd..... At the end of the day, for a club to be successful, whether using moneyball or otherwise, it needs a good manager (sorry head coach), which we don't have.

Maybe. Maybe not. Either way, they're slipping.

He got them promoted to the PL and kept them there for 2 seasons. I'd take that every time over our current outlook.

So have we.

Is that the same Brentford who are now slipping down the PL table & will likely end up falling out of it with errr....Norwich?

Much better to get there first and then worry about staying there. Farke is a proven success at promotion.

You said that Farke was a Head Coach. Why does that matter?

So what's your point?

Which is?

Who knows? The point is that they are unemployed and we should be sounding guys like this out as they are clearly an improvement on what we have. Whatever the difference is, does it even matter whether someone is/was a 'head coach' or a 'manager'?
