How many clubs in the top two divisions have the same owners they had in, say, November 2010?

The old line that nobody else would possibly want to buy an established Championship club, with a 31k stadium, a Cat 1 academy and a decent training ground. Despite foreign owners falling over themselves to buy English clubs. Aye, not remotely possible, so lets hope Venky’s stay for another fifteen years, we’d be Bury otherwise.

BnWR has always been pro regime and now he starts posting for the first time in nearly a year casting aspersions about Glen and ‘division’… well, what a shock!

So what’s your point, Glen is in Swag’s pocket?

Indeed it isn’t, but it’s always a faff after work and no chance I’m rushing around to support a regime and manager that are going through the motions themselves.

Think this will be the first home game out of choice I’ve not been to since, well, ever.

Yeah because it will be exactly the same protests re chickens that it was in 2011/12. Great use of ‘intelligence’ and resource there…

‘Protest in your own time’ Tomorrow, 10am in my kitchen I’m going for.

‘He’s cheap compared to O’Neill and the rest of them, so he’ll do.’

I think their ST sales were in the hundreds, bumped up by big away followings and comp tickets.

The obvious comparison is the Blackpool NAPM against the Oystons. Crowds completely collapsed down to a few hundred and as local businessmen owners the jig was up as revenue collapsed along with it. Here, crowds drop down to just Swag-hail themselves and Chadster, so 31,365 empty seats, would they give a fuck? Or would they just shut the academy, flog Brockhall and operate it as a shell L2 club? Crowds will collapse here too regardless next season, but I still don’t see it pushing them out the door. It’s a completely unique situation as these people just don’t operate by the usual laws of football ownership.

So he knows he’s on three month probation yet he still stands there/sits there half arsed ignoring the players (and fans)? Strange bloke, and a ridiculous appointment.

‘We are not a sacking club’ like it’s a badge of honour, a sign of a ‘proper football club’ when in reality they are merely doing the bidding of owners who won’t pay compo. The constant stream of BS falls on deaf ears now, fellas.

To be fair Gestede did say we can’t think about budgets yet as we aren’t sure what league we’ll be in next season…

No that will be around the figure they’ll say… how many will actually be paid for tickets and not freebies/comps is another issue…

Clubs make mistakes with managerial appointments, nature of the beast. However, if a dud of this magnitude got a gig elsewhere the owner/board would have them out the door sharpish. Here? He’ll be in situ next season without a doubt.

They won’t as there will only be the absolute hardcore left, and the vast majority of those will want to ‘get behind the lads, as who else would buy us?’ The ‘protest’ next season will be the banks upon banks of empty seats when we have only c5,000 ST holders.

There’s been a massively impactful campaign the past week, tonight saw constant chants against the regime, next season will see a compete collapse in attendances. What ‘protests’ are people expecting above that? Lads with bedsheets?

‘Dom’s committed, are you!’

SSN is pretty light touch these days, you’ll handle them no danger - no agenda driven attack dogs like on TalkSport.

Small time of Howe pissing about with the poxy League Cup, what about the Top 4 Trophy and selling Isak for a big profit? That’s what it’s all about!

Merce is more of a Wee Dougie man…

Football is such much better for the present ‘structure’ clubs have in place, isn’t it…

Rob Coar, front left there? Gone full circle in his time, back to not being able to pay the bills again… not sure there were too many billionaires around the club in 1986, though…
