Stock dale, OGrady and Hughes all have relegation experience recently as does McCourt if we sign him so were building a time with experience in one area.
The season started last week, yes deadline is a few weeks away but frankly we are 5/6 quality players off a team to stay up let alone challenge in this league. We have no left back, if Sami felt that chicken would grow into it Calderon wouldn't have started v Sheffield Wednesday. We have failed...
Am sick of excuses from the club. I regularly appoint staff to roles which their is few people qualified in the area. As a result I have to advertise for short periods, move quickly, consider a higher package and adapt my budgets and occasionally over staff to ensure I am fully covered. As a few...
Please don't teach maths to anyone as your dice analogy is off the wall. You can not say that something which is possible is not expected unless the probability is extremely slim. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 have an equal chance therefore 6 is no different to any other number in terms of probability and...
Nothing like someone being pedantic in the afternoon. Good selective use of the dictionary. Try - looked forward to as probable. In terms of the probability scale from impossible to definite - expected is as close to the definite end as possible. Likely is just above half way on the scale.
Ok let's get down the crux what does expected mean? It means beyond reasonable doubt. For this to be the case you would need to know:
The player is happy to move
You are happy to pay what he will require
You have agreed a price with the selling club
How many of these are the case for any of the...
Trying to be positive but:
Are we a stronger team than last year?
Does our defence look solid?
Does our midfield look creative?
Do we have a striker to fire us to glory?
Are the board being successful in getting our targets?
Are we premier league ready on the pitch?
If you answer these...
When you name 3 players as a done deal and 2 out of 3 minimum don't happen that is poor journalism. Where you don't get minimum 2 out of 3 targets to sign that is bad selling of the club and it's 'ambitions'.
I understand why managers keep walking as their ambition is not matched by the boards.
Is always worrying that as adults we can't disagree rather than insult one another. I guess there's nothing like hiding behind anonymity.
Personally I am concerned that we are significantly short in all areas with a short time to go. Against Peterborough we lacked creativity, were negative at...
The majority of clubs pushing for promotion have signed the bulk of their new team already as they were ready / at advanced stages with the signings before the summer and recognise the value of pre season.
We have got good deals for outgoing players but that doesn't help us unless we replace...
Think we will (with current squad) be lucky to avoid relegation. If however we sign a quality keeper, decent left back, high quality striker and some creativity for midfield who knows.
He is extremely poor. Flaps at crosses, stays on his line when things need dealing with and when shots are not at him they generally go in. Have only seen Walton v Lewis but already have more faith in him.
If anyone is going to cost us points in goal I would prefer it to be Walton as at least...
It is surprisingly hard through the disciplinary process to develop a case that couldn't be questioned by good lawyers. As an employer this means I wouldnt start the process without a 99% certainty that it would end with dismissal particularly with millions at stake. If the club have entered...
