It was some amount of improvements in that stand, no?

Because you haven’t seen his contract, ergo you are speculating.

World Cup ‘98, Derby’s Christian Dailly was having shocker after shocker with Scotland. Me dad used to slag him off relentlessly. Few weeks later, ‘Dad, guess who Woy has just signed for five and a half million?’ ’FFS🤬‘

Unfortunately starcascade spends every post slagging off fellow fans, very bizarre.

The football side is in good fettle, some competent people across it. Alas, the commerical side is as poor as ever, but I’ve stopped worrying about it, it’s not going to change until he finally fecks off. Let’s hope it’s sooner rather than later.

End of the day if you want to sustain a promotion push you need as many good players in your squad as possible, it’s why most clubs up there strengthen in January. Vale and Hirst are not players I can see making a difference in the run in, whereas Dack is the kind of quality footballer that could change a game and help nab a vital win or 2, think of Berkovic in ‘01. Alas, he’ll be re-united with TM instead, so we can only hope from our perspective that the mistakes of last January are not repeated…

Nobody is! Good grief 😁 People have no issue with his comments, it’s standard manager comms with the media. They are just amused that you have suddenly started reading between the lines after about a decade of, at times, almost unbelievable naivety on here.

Venky’s carry on stonewalling and he’s obviously who the PL clubs will turn to.

Why who thinks Dack should be starting?

Who isn’t behind their team, starcascade?

Thanks for explaining to us all that managers look to take pressure off players. It had certainly never occurred to me.

You certainly have, you’ve made clear that people in football don’t always tell the truth in public… I’ll remind you of that next time you are trying to prove a point about something else and do a 180 making out what they tell the media is gospel.

Err no you haven’t 😁, that’s you reading between the lines. Something you said you didn’t do like the rest of us as you aren’t ‘cynical’. A relief to you know you do really, as nobody can actually be as naive as you make out at times…

Of course it was a gamble, but it was obviously a calculated one, as they got the keep a player that otherwise would’ve gone, and who they had no chance of replacing with a player of the same quality.

Or the club saw an opportunity to tie down a top player that would have been in the PL a few weeks after that Wigan game if it wasn’t for the injury. Totally agree on the Mulgrew/Bennett/Smallwood deals though. I would wager in the post TM, Broughton era, I doubt we’ll see contracts thrown around with such abandon again…

That’s social media, it’s a cesspit and every public figure gets it. But I’m sure he and the rest of the squad knows that the vast, vast majority of fans are great here. And I’d be very surprised if footballers are making life altering decisions on the back of a few dozen sad acts tweeting from their mum’s spare room…

You’re reading between the lines and not taking comments at face value… thought you didn’t do that?

There is no loyalty in football either way. The player will move on when he feels he’s outgrown the club and/or offered a juicy pay rise and signing on fee. On the flip side the club will get shut if you are no longer up to scratch/someone a new manager doesn’t fancy. Both sides also protect their interests/security with long contracts. That’s the game, it’s transactional and both sides know the score.

What a show, compare and contrast to that current Saturday dinner time abomination on the BBC…

Alan Mullery (remember him) used to royally slag us off on Sky, used to really wind me dad up 😁

The side burns, the synchronised scarf raising, the League Liner… marvellous!

It’s Venky’s, they don’t budge if whatever they deem a ‘value’ price isn’t met, so if that means £10 million is turned down then so be it. Though of course, if he is firing us to promotion in late January then it’s a fair gamble to take anyway.

They do use paper pint cups this season from what I’ve noticed…

Explain?
