Yep, I've got zero time for Hodgson.

Hughes isn't a dinosaur. He was on the bleeding edge when he managed us.

Unless he doesn't want to be here.

Glory supporters.

Anyone But Brentford.

Wilder would be sensational, but I fear the word is out that we're a basket case club. If you're any way established as a manager you'd steer well clear.

Did you really just compare Armstrong to Shearer?! 🤣

He scored 28 goals, 5 of those were penalties (he missed 3). It's a nice stat in isolation, but hardly outstanding. When you factor in the amount of attacks he ends and chances he wastes - let's just say he's not a PL striker in my eyes. If someone offered silly money (anything over £10m) I'm laughing all the way to the bank. For mine the team, hilariously, looked more threatening with Dolan playing at #9 as he ran his socks off. The team would absolutely look more balanced with Brereton or Gallagher playing as the #9 as at least they can hold the ball up (Gallagher less so than Brereton). Also why are you comparing the goal tallies of a Central Midfielder and 2 Wide Forwards (who are asked to track back) with a #9 who has free license? That seems odd.

It's heartbreaking, isn't it?

I'd rather keep Rothwell and sell Armstrong.

Which I think translates to Rothwell has told them where to go and wants out. Fair play to the lad. He's better than this shite show.

Fingers crossed the new guy they signed from PNE rectifies that. No excuse for missing the talent in your back yard.

At this point you'd be hard pressed not to convince me that the Venky's are just incredibly rich Burnley fans having a laugh.

If that's true then the club has just lost three season ticket holders.

And why are you training on it during the week?

The weather has nothing to do with his football philosophy not working - a bit of rain doesn't mean you can't pass the ball.

He seems like a miserable, insufferable bastard. I suspect his family are happy that he works so far away.

Kristian Pedersen, a Danish international.

He's better than Dolan though - albeit there's room for both in the starting 11.

Only £50m? Half of what Tombola needs to gain promotion to the PL.

They're also up to their eyeballs in debt with the ASDA takeover.

Wouldn't that be a huge loss of face for them though - assuming they'd come in and run us like a professional outfit.

What's this rumour about a sale?

Maybe Bell wants to play football? He's been alienated by our manager since January. A few token games at the end of the season before desperately offering him a contract extension because you can't be arsed to find anyone better maybe isn't the golden ticket he's after? Fair play to him if he's told Tombola to fuck off.

"Hi Ryan, as evidenced by the 30+ starts you've had at RB this season and the contract extension on the table we really value you as a football player and consider you our starter going into the 2021/22 season. However, in these dead rubber end of season matches, we'd really like to see what we've got in this next batch of Academy graduates. If all things go to plan we're going to give Pike 20 mins in the next two matches. This does not reflect poorly on you whatsoever. I will be having this conversation with Bell / Brereton / Armstrong et al too. I'm sure you understand". Man management, it's a wonderful thing.
