Leonard scored the same amount as Gallagher in the league this season in less than half the amount of minutes (836 vs 1,719) I thought he looked really good at times under JDT. Whether that materialises under Eustace-ball who knows. Regardless, we need a number 9 and he certainly isn't highest paid in the squad Sam Gallagher.

All this 'record breaking opening day' stuff is complete nonsense anyway. It's a massive related contingency that we shifted more tickets on day 1 with the fact it's probably the latest tickets have ever gone on sale (or thereabouts anyway). We're shouting about 2k tickets approaching June whilst our very similar demographical rivals have surpassed 15k already.

You’re being a bit disingenuous. Luton, Sheffield United and Burnley either get parachute payments or promotions I.e they have a huge advantage and more money to spend than everyone else

Correct. Only 4 clubs with parachute payments next year. And one of them are starting with a points deduction, and another is Luton. Best opportunity in a long time for a well run and ambitious club (not us)

But we're a 'digital' club - and we were told on here that we've spent millions on improving our technology so we should rightly be charging £10 to those in person. Some are beyond clueless.

Now you've said it, I can't not see it!!!

Regardless, i'd bet my final pound that the clubs financial report will still be lurking around that suspiciously magic -£20m number

Hasn't Trafford been a laughing stock at Burnley and ended up losing his place? Would be a ridiculous call up, despite the likelihood of 0 minutes.

It’s not a brilliant 11 but also not a complete laughing stock. Albeit I only really rate 4 or 5 as legitimate starters. HOWEVER, the issue comes with injuries (as it has in recent years). The bench you’d name after that 11 would be academy lads / non-league level players.

It really is worrying times for us now I feel. Waggott has full control and he will be in full ‘topping up the pension’ mode. He has no care for our club at all, riding the gravy train as long as possible, which is indefinitely under these cretin owners

I think we’ll do well to sell 5k now. In a 31k stadium. Waggott and Venkys are tearing this club to shreds, if he offers another contract to John Fleck whilst increasing the price of STs there should be mass protests and they should be aimed at HIM.

Oh 100%. Was looking more at the likes of Hull, Boro, Coventry, maybe promoted clubs like Pompey or Bolton if they make it. The likes of Rovers and PNE haven’t a hope

So only 4 clubs next season will have parachute payments, one of which will start on a points deduction. Burnley, Sheffield United, Luton and Leeds/Southampton. It’s said regularly at the start of the season about the league being ‘weakest in years’ - but it certainly feels like a good opportunity for ambitious clubs to have a proper go.

The fact the likes of Duffy (drink driving mess of a man) and Barnes (2nd touch is a tackle) have managed to make the playoffs in this pretty dire Norwich side shows that pretty much any club can make the top 6 - I still wouldn’t hold any hope with our lot mind you. It does mean we’ll likely have to see a winner between Leeds United or Russell Martin

Gunn in net for Norwich making Pears look like Gordon Banks

I think people would swallow the 12:30 and 20:00 kick offs if it was reflected in a £200 season ticket or similar. It will obviously affect away attendances to all the grounds in the sticks. But if our ticket costs were off-set by the TV money, then as fans we would accept it far easier.

The most worrying part of all that is he’d want to spend 2 and half million British pounds on Sorba Thomas

So our academy player (from 6 years old) will be playing for Bayern Munich after leaving us 6 months earlier, and across our overall package, we will have received £1m less than the Alex Scott fee…….and you think we got a good deal? I know you toe the line, and incorrect on almost every opinion you’ve ever held but that’s still impressive.

Sweet fuck all by the looks of it, especially here with no pot to piss in

Luckily for them they have a base of 200m+ not 8k core fans. I'd imagine their strategy team is somewhat more useful than our group of clowns too.

2 in bold are £100 too much.

Big Sam is barely coherent these days, albeit he never really was. Nice to hear him call out Venkys a small bit though - and he certainly has his reasons

The day off segment was comical. Talk about being happy just plodding along in lower leagues. (Not Sammie but the fact he said certain players hated it) “If you beat Sheffield Wednesday you’re off until Thursday and it was all the motivation we wanted” - then they turn up with that performance 😂

Also one that’ll interest us all….. Sammie Szmodics on one with Big Sam. Talks really well, and positive about JDT The ‘day off’ segment is laughable. Confirms what we all assumed, lazy spineless gits, happy plodding along in the Championship (or league one) ”if you beat Sheffield Wednesday you’re off until Thursday and it’s the motivation we need” hahaha clearly not!

“I hold a unique skill set that most other sports administrators have not been able to…” Thought it was going to be a quote from Liam Neeson in Taken at first.
