Not sure why people seem to be struggling with this one. Generally, for another plodding mid table season, give Sunderland, Leeds and yes, Sheff Wed, the full end and take their cash, we can’t fill the seats ourselves, so it is what it is. However, in this very specific instance, how about not giving a relegation rival any kind of advantage at your own bloody ground for a huge six pointer with three games to go. Take every home advantage possible, don’t pocket a few extra grand but risk losing millions.

We’ve billionaire owners yet we are selling our Crown Jewels to ensure we can carry on paying the PAYE of the poor sods in admin roles etc. on c20/30k a year. Obviously they deserve all our sympathy, but obviously that doesn’t negate the impact its had on the team, which was Windy’s actual point.

So you don’t think we should ‘be fair’ to the owners? Thank god for that, as that’s a devil’s advocate too far even for you.

He had to go, and quickly, as the owners can’t meet their obligations, due to them being under investigation for financial impropriety - so let’s be fair to them.

I was talking about Wharton, and like Waggott said ‘we need to help the owners’.

Yeah, come on now WWWM, listen to Masher, be fair to the owners.

So support makes no difference at all to results? So across football why do the vast majority of teams do better at home?

What leadership qualities do you see in Hyam?

Please don’t shout at the players! It upsets them, especially the captain.

Freak start to the season for PNE when they ended up at the top, apart from that they’ve looked shite whenever I’ve seen them… we still couldn’t beat them like.

Nice touch to include Word documents. 👌

With their hovel only having 19k home seats, there is a scarcity factor when in all likelihood they will either be a Premier League club or fighting for the Championship title. You best get a ST or you may miss out. Here there is absolute no pressing need to buy one at big prices for another season going nowhere in a huge ground.

No Jim’s quite right to point it out - it is all down to upbringing, my dad instilled in me local pride, the importance of heritage and passing down the baton between generations when supporting your local club, indeed it is what ‘the club’ is - and to have nothing but contempt for the local glory hunting Liverpool and Man Utd ‘fans’ and for them to ‘win’ as little as possible. Thank you dad.

Very good form? They’ve won one game in seven.

‘Strange upbringing’ 😅 I have what connection to Man Utd or Liverpool? I’m a Blackburn Rovers fan, in reality I couldn’t care less about the PL, who’s in it, who wins it - but do I want the red shirted armchair fans of east Lancs getting any reflected glory whilst they take the piss out of ‘shit’ Rovers, their local club? No chance. Up the Gooners.

The 94/95 regulars are legends to me. If they aren’t yours rigger, then fair enough!

Ahh, yes, he got injured in the March… then our form started to drop off - coincidence, I think not!

Pretty much ever present in a title winning side, yep he can have legendary status for me.

I’d have a London team to win the title over Man Utd or Liverpool any day. As little reflected glory for their hordes of plastic ‘fans’ around here as possible please.

Because it’s the same elite teams year after year getting richer and richer, so of course a Legia Warsaw can’t compete and offer the same level of entertainment, a super league in all but name.

I imagine the broadcasters were very much in favour of replays as you could get 4/5 million watching one at prime time. Obviously they waited until the new cup TV deal had been signed.

Definitely do; takeaway choices, eat out choices, tv subscriptions, soft drink choices, butchers, the cut down on the booze. You need a ‘diary of a season’, like Big Al’s in ‘95.

This is Swag’s no risk, lowest common denominator approach to hitting targets, he cares little for the longer term health of the fanbase as why would he as a non-fan, hired hand in his late 60s? The long term health of Swag’s finances only matters at this stage of his career. Another CEO may have a totally different view in how to hit said targets. So until he fecks off I’ve stopped even thinking about how we could get out of this commercial rut. A club in suspended animation on and off the pitch.

I do feel I get a real insight into the life of the Chadster on these threads.

Did make me laugh when they also said the winter break has been scrapped and the season opener moved a week later instead to aid rest… yeah like they won’t be using that extra week in August go fly to Sydney/Shanghai/Seoul instead 🤦‍♂️
