It is saying that ELITE sports will continue. In football what level constitutes Elite ?

I used to work at Thwaites putting Stein into kegs

I am not that worried, Nyambe is a good defender, not so good going forwards. Rothwell has moments of brilliance, but those moments are too few and far between. We have lost better players and survived. My main worry would be that it is Mowbray who would be tasked to replace them.

How much would you except for Mulgrew ?

Isn't he only on loan at Fleetwood.

No championship till next season?

Personally I would like my center-halfs first touch to land in the opponents half.

A promo for a center-half, without a single header?

So did Downing until he could not get a better deal

I would give downing a try at left back, over those two.

Colin Hendry, David Hurst.

And Strait

Never stick your head up to look over the parapet

I will leave my judgement of the back four until after the game.

At least let them play, before you judge. I do agree on paper it is a strange pick.

Tony doesn't do formations.

Versus Coventry ?

Yes, because they beat us.

The original point was that Chapman was signed because he was cheap and might increase in value in the future. My point was that a good manager would sign a player on the hope that he improves the playing team, not the owners bank account. We obviously don't agree on this point, so lets just leave it at that. I don't want to get into a tit-for-tat argument.

Welcome, I hope you are wrong as well.

I wonder if they were earning megabucks?

Just one of many basic principals. The more of these principals you use, usually the more successful a manager you become

A good manager should sign only the players he wants to use to improve his teams. Not sign financial gambles.

who signed him?

I think that happens in most towns.
