Yet a quick Google search will tell you he's won twice as many promotions than Mick McCarthy as a manager.... It's a funny old game.

Villa were so poor, Fulham deserved winners.

S8 & Blue beat you to that joke yesterday young man.... Better luck next time!

Did you watch Conway much last season? He really struggled IMO and I don't think I'm alone in that. Just a question, but, if Mowbray had deemed Conway surplus to requirements, would you be upset or think that was wrong?? There is absolutely no room for sentiment in professional sport. Conway has been a great servant to the club, but if he struggled in league one and he's now a year older, the championship will be even tougher for him, that much stands to reason. If finances are tight, as they have been for the last few years, we need to have every single squad member earning a wage making a big contribution.

Being in contract talks with Conway should just about do it!

Madness- One step beyond

For goodness' sake, I don't think you're showing off, somebody else made that suggestion in a post some pages back, not me, I was merely covering all bases. I've never thought philanthropy was anything other than a good thing, personally.

I don't think it is, for what it's worth, someone else made that observation, I was just paraphrasing. You can spend your money on whatever you want, that's how life works..... You can also think as you please.

Is this a serious comment? The improvement in this lad the season just gone has been quite something. His most productive season in front of goal so far, his finishing could still be better, but then he's only 23 years old......

Glass houses and all that, Mercer. Incidentally, can any threats of wagers/charitable donations/people showing off that they can spare £100 (however you want to interpret it) be done via PM? Many thanks.

If you actually think our best player should start on the bench, then you're trolling. STOP IT.

I've got to agree on Martinez tbh, his teams never seem to be able to defend.....

Not sure if you saw it or not, but he went off injured the other night in the Europa League final, so I reckon that's got a lot to do with it tbh.

I think Gary Rowett is miles better than Garry Monk tbh. I really did never get the hype of the latter which he seems to believe far too much for me. Rowett is decent, but I think the problems at Derby run deep and they seem to bottle it when it matters. As someone else alluded to, maybe someone like a McCarthy would be a good bet for them....

Are you on the wind up JAL?? Rovers players aren’t the standard of Burnley as up until this season we were two divisions below. Surprised that needs to be clarified. Haven’t you been paying attention? It’s been awful, but as the song goes, ‘we’re in our way back’. (We live in hope).

Rovers not finding international players? Is this a joke? Last season we had 3 playing regularly for their national team and we were in the third division!! Outside the big time, it’s always going to be difficult to get these players...

Don't drink and type mate, you'll only mug yourself off....

Is everything okay, JAL?

I'll be honest, I'm very surprised anyone wants us to keep Caddis. If he wasn't good enough for League one, what makes anyone think he'll be good enough for a league above? He's been available for selection yet a central midfielder was selected ahead of him.

Can you at least try and be a bit less rude in your posts please?

I don’t know about Loftus-Cheek, the guy has been class of late according to Palace fans and watching pundits. Madness re Wilshere though, even if it’s a gamble, he should be on that plane.

We need to be ruthless. Thank Conway for his time and move him on. There is no room for sentiment, especially if finances might well be tight. He’s been a great servant but he’s not getting any younger, better or fitter. Get rid.

This has been our problem for a number of years, counting players who can 'do a job' in a position instead of having specialists.

Can tell it’s not your money with such talk mate!!
