actually not.

I don't remember that, I can't remember it happening too many times in the last 50 years, but that may just be my memory. My original post was a quip. Not really a topic for in-depth discussion.

My main question would be: Is he a leader ?

No, because if you are away the first game, you are always home the last. Same if you are home on boxing day, you are away on new years day.

I do.

Another parameter is the quality of player that we can afford to sign, on our budget, whatever that is.

50/50 chance of being right.

Pratt has signed a two year deal. He has impressed me as a no frills center-half. He heads the ball away, gives it some wellie when it is needed, and chucks in a tackle. Not much in the way of finesse, but that can be forgiven in a young center-half. Saadi signed a two year deal. He is the polar opposit of Pratt.

He looked at ease playing for the U23's, good enough at that level, let's hope he makes the step-up to first team squad.

Hasn't Davenport been released ?

Question or statement ?

My comment was a skit of a comment made by Mowbray last season.

And a realist. I still prefer real life, to TV !

I go to the pub for that.

I can guarantee that I won't.

You know it's not 1954.

I'm sorry , but who is Jack Bauer ?

If so, you are not planning for promotion.

I am not saying this is true, but instead of watching pre season beasting of players, he may be talking to Nyambe about a new contract. I would prefer the latter option.

The start of pre-season training, is all about beasting the players, to get fitness levels up. Even Lowe should be able to do that.

Yes, and address.

Personnally I don't give a damn who sponsors us.

I always have done, even when manchester and liverpool were classed as Lancashire

The thing is, I would like quick results, as I may not be around long enough to see a slow improvement.

You might get a few season ticket holders moving from the Riverside to other parts, as the Riverside is no longer cheaper than anywhere else.
