According to NSC Burke made the summer signings, which, according to NSC were crap. If SH goes then, given the timescales involved, who will be overseeing the January transfers? Surely, it's better to let SH make his own signings this January so we can judge him on how he gets on with his own...
Why is Burke always portrayed as such a villian. Almost as if he sits in his office deliberately not even attempting to sign any players the manager wants and instead coming up with really cheap and useless options instead? Even if this is the case the only reason he'd do that is because the...
For me, the interesting comments about recruitment were in the Argus from SH. He said 'I like all the time to know more and more background information about them. Their attitude and mentality, those kind of things are very important for me.'
Sounds to me like he's not impressed with some of the...
So, have I got this right?
Next year clubs can make a loss of £13million? If I remember correctly, it was orignally £4million.
We all seem to think that Birghton were on course to meet FFP rules, so, if that is the case, if TB wants to, he can throw £9million at the playing budget next year...
I remember that 7-0 win. Michael Ring came on as substitute and was so keen to get on the score sheet that he deprived Gerry Ryan of also getting a hatrick that day. It was the year before I got my first season ticket and the main reason I went to the game was because the Boys Brigade band was...
So, the club is so badly run that it has to rely on selling its best players in order to balance the books re FFP. How do you know that? And, if you are right, and you might be for all I know, then the problem at the club isn't Burke but Barber who is clearly failing to raise revenues from other...
Not sure that Middlesbrough will be. Their spending has been this summer and so won't be scrutinised until December 2015 as the football financial year runs until end of June. Therefore any embargos wouldn't come into play until January 2016 by which time they could be up. Also, by then they...
Why is it 'the Clayton debacle'? As far as I am aware the club has never said whether he was a target or how close he ever was to signing. The only thing which ramped the whole story up was media and social media people claiming to have sources that said he was moments away from signing, apart...
Every day I hope that we're going to sign the players we need for the new season and every day I'm disappointed when we don't.
However, I have no idea what really goes on when any player signs for any club and how clubs decide on what they think a player is worth. But I'm willing to trust the...
I know that's the rules now... but if I was a premier league chief exec, or any other top league come to that, I'd be wondering why I can't utilise my employee because of something he did playing for anothe team. It starts a potentially dangerous precedent.
I'm not defending him, but how can Liverpool be responsible for his discipline when he's playing for a different team? After all, if any player is booked or sent off in an international match does it affect his playing for his club? Why should the club be punished when they clearly had no...
I think this could have the potential to impact clubs being willing to release their best players for international duty. Liverpool allow their best player to take part in the World Cup and because of something he does there they lose the right to play him at the start of the next season. I'm...
