Don't give up. If you never say anything else ever again about anything Waggott does, don't (willingly) let him get away with this.

What more could you ask for than a red/white oblong on a plan? Bloody entitled fans expecting to win the Premier League every year!

£750 when I looked it up. Apparently no-one thought at the time he would ever get planning permission for housing on the 42 acre site of the old hospital.

I might agree, were it not for the fact we had multi billionaire owners and once those facilities are gone they're gone forever, it's not like they're being temporarily decommissioned and can be brought back to life if we ever get promoted. I think it's the case also that if you lose Cat 1 Academy status PL Clubs are allowed to pick up your youngsters for a pittance? I stand to be corrected if that's not correct.

There is no way this is for the benefit of the Club! In fact if you read the plans carefully, then compare that to what we have now, then see what facilities are necessary for Cat 1 Academy Status, you'll see it's exactly the opposite!

I've didn't realise the Club only owned the land on a 999 year lease and not the freehold. I looked up the supposed Landlords London and Auckland Properties Ltd expecting to find a thriving Company and found instead rather bizarrely that the Company had changed its name to Brockhall Village Developments Ltd at some point and was dissolved on 30/12/2010. Looking at the list of former members the Company was obviously a Gerald Hitman Family concern, a name I've heard but someone I've never come across. Is this the disappointing news you were referring to Ozz, or does it get even worse?

Why not?

I think I came to this thread part way through originally, I was wondering why Waggott kept inferring in his LT articles to covenants restricting the use of the land only affecting the Academy site and not the site of the senior training complex. Surely Jack would have ensured both sites were protected and from the above, am I correct in thinking that the land the senior site is on was also protected by pre-existing covenants when the land was sold to Jack and that it therefore wasn't thought necessary to put in any additional safeguards? If so, how does Waggott think he can possibly circumvent this?

Agreed. Applies to all our youngsters, I think Mowbray ruined 2 years of BB's career by only giving him a very sporadic start then instantly dropping him again. Think Buckley has raw ability but he isn't 16 or 17 he ought to be able to cut it by now if he's up to the grade. Don't think he's shown he's as good as Joe H thinks, or as bad as Sparks thinks, but he needs regular game time and then we can judge. It's never affected more experienced people like Bennett and Evans being atrocious week after week, month after month, but our ownyoungsters seem to be judged by a different metric. If they don't pull up trees they're straight out again.

Ridiculous statement imo. JRC isn't remotely in Nyambe's class at RB, is extremely weak defensively, and looks like a player playing completely out of position there for me. He might be OK if you were playing him further forward in his more natural position. Then again if it was JRC who kept getting ridiculously poorly treated by the manager, and wouldn't sign a new contract, I'm sure you would say you preferred Nyambe.

"Such a young guy" who's actually nearly 18 months older than the lad from Liverpool who has been a fixture in the starting line up all season (and who has also done well until recently). Why does he think kids from Premier League teams are ready to be chucked straight into the starting line up but our own youngsters are babies in nappies that can't be trusted at the same age and are usually still looking to prove themselves by the time they're 21 or 22?

Why though? Why are some people happy with 12-15th ?(at best) I just don't get it. Would it be different if we'd never have gone down and come back up but instead just scraped up and just ploughed steadily along in the same poor finishing positions?

It's eighteen points from the last eighteen League games now I think plus a defeat to Doncaster in the FA Cup. If we have a storming end to the season then the last seven games can fairly be described as a blip but right now we're still in appalling form which is why the three points were so vital today. And "the blips" are too frequent and too lengthy under TM to ever get anywhere.

Some people really don't get the Brockhall thing do they?

Which Mowbray is not. He'll no doubt waffle on again about "the journey" and how we're on course to challenge next season . Always jam tomorrow with him. And tomorrow never arrives but his pension pot will be topping up a treat.

I was going to do that as well because if I had have done we'd probably not have lost another game. Maybe I can hold off now. Lol.

I'd imagine that'll be the gist of the post match interview "next season we'll be in a position to challenge". The problem with today is it will probably be all change again for the next game and I doubt there'll be a hope in hell Dolan will start up front again (or maybe even at all)

Looks like we're going to get the three points. Mowbray should have been sacked 2 years ago and will never be the man as long as long as night follows day but by god we need these 3 points to inch a bit nearer to 50 points

Didn't think it was a foul at all.

Great play from Buckley there. Dack has to do better.

Missing the point that Dolan should have had far more game time and that we should be developing him and not Elliott completely then.

They aren't are they?

Nothing he can possibly do selection wise to try and get the sack could possibly ever top hooking Nyambe, putting a CF in his place, then hooking him after 10 mins and putting yet another player ( a CB) out of position there. But yes, I agree it seems from his recent interviews he wants paying off and judging by the latest pre match interview he has completely lost interest and isn't afraid of showing it.

You put your right back in your right back out You do the Tony Cokey and you shake 'em all about You do the Tony Cokey and you swap em all around That's what it's all about Nyambe out!

Thanks.
