The Who - Circles

Just something about it. Colour me suspicious.

We're more likely to end up signing much worse.

Is it me or does this all seem a bit fishy?

I'd be a better signing than John Fleck. No big juicy commission for swag of I signed though.

Wouldn't happen in England, whiter than white over here.

FFP is a total have. There are ways they could have got around it to put money into the club and they didn't do anything. And for the 66393651573662993003rd time, stadium maintenance is not subject to FFP restrictions. Not having a do at you BTW Miller, it's just the lies and deception from the owners and their boot licking henchmen I'm sick of.

There's no need to be an expert, this stuff is the absolute basics of running a commercial business and just som basic human decency. I find this £10 penalty fee to be absolutely disgusting and exploitative. It's a new low even at this club.

Or both.

That's highly unlikely to ever happen though unfortunately hence administration is the only way I can see out of it. As for the people who may lose their jobs, what about the numerous people that have already lost their jobs? What about the hugely detrimental effect venkys have had on the town as a whole? We were averaging 25,000 people going to Ewood before this cancer metastasized all throughout this club. We're now down to an average of 14,000. What about the businesses that were reliant on having the foot traffic of those extra 11,000 people?

Football is absolutely gash nowadays and it seems as though anyone who has even glanced at a bunch of lads having a kickabout on the local park is overqualified for a management role at a football club. Vincent Kompany is reported to be signing as the F.C Bayern manager after he spent 130 million and accumulated 24 points finishing second bottom and never getting out of the bottom three. If that doesn't show you how fucked the game is I don't know what will. King Kenny didn't need a 'sporting structure', neither did Ferguson, Wenger or Mourhino.

More likely he's had a very dumbed down summary read to him by shadow man as he tucks him into bed at night.

Would you even be surprised?

Unfortunately that's the only thing I can see that will bring any kind of positive change. The only way I can see out of this is through administration.

Kompany to F.C Bayern. What the actual fuck. He spent 130 million last season and only managed to achieve 24 points. That has to be one of the biggest failures in my lifetime. Even the bald piece of shit managed to get more points than that. The whole game really is completely fucked.

Yes it's the venkys circle of death.

So in reality we're the most expensive and there’s been a price increase.

Really? I don't expect them to sign any. I'm sure they'll still find a way to fall short of that estimation.

I certainly wouldn't expect it from this one.

I think that's a good summary of TM. He was very lucky here to have been preceded by the shittest managers we've ever had at this club. Even the promotion back was tainted by not winning the division, especially when we lost out to Wigan. Generally I don't think he's a very good manager. His level is stabilizing a club in this division that's just come up. Anything more than that and you need someone proper. I'm sure he'll make a good recovery and we'll see him back at it sooner than we think.

Everything about this 'offer' cynical. Ends before the fixtures are released. Once again an early bird offer that only lasts a month, penalising those less financially well off. A £10 penalty fee for people who want to purchase a ticket in person, disgustingly penalising those who are not technically savvy or have adequate access to IT facilities (these people are likely to predominantly 65 and older). A tiny reduction on massively overpriced tickets. All of it has been done solely as a token gesture to make the claim that they have taken the concerns of the Trust seriously. The only positive thing I can glean from this is that in some ways it's not as shit as I was expecting. However, in other ways it's much much worse.

Oi! Leave us vegans out of it!

Saw Peter Hook at the weekend. Was really good. I must say I preferred the New Order set to the Joy Division set.

He didn't say we'd achieve that though. Will be more like 35 points.

That's the biggest issue I can see is the inconvenient times. The second tier is hardly a huge draw for viewers so our games will be shoved on at all sorts of shit times. 3-4 weeks is borderline ok for a notice period but will it balance out the inconvenient times the games will be moved to? It's just shit from all involved, sky, the clubs, the league. None of them have considered the fans in any of this despite us being the lifeblood of the game.
