Re coaches imo it makes sense to recruit from within as our players nearing the end of thier careers have a lot to offer.Major blunder on the coaching front was not retaining Billy Mercer.Our present goalkeeping coach has failed miserably to correct Traffs flaws. Very true. Billy Mercer was the bes...

How to lose friends and alienate people

With the sheer amount of deals we’ve done in the last 12 months that’s quite impressive to keep it that low.

Leisure is right - this season they have been accommodating some of the Jimmy Mac corporate guests in the Longside upper during the match. That led to the problems, certainly at the Everton game. So, for next season, they have extended the seating in the Jimmy Mac lower to accommodate them. It's no...

The number of players we have devalued from the Championship winning team is incredible. Real lessons to be learned there, because Kompany must have known in the summer that the players he was bringing in were likely to take the places of last seasons players. So for a team who have stated they wou...

He gets unwarranted hate because of a clause in his contract.

The clause, IMO, was a more than decent deal for us. We just didn’t make good use of the money.

I think the hate comes from the ‘comfort zone’ comments after he left - which in hindsight were probably spot on!

FeedTheArf

Don’t think there’s anything in it. Strange of him to only get annoyed the 3rd Muric appearance and not before.

I’m a firm believer that you start your next season how you finished your last, so I’d just be happy to go down swinging and have some encouraging performances between now and the end of the year.

If we could get 2 or 3 wins and a couple of draws to keep things interesting then all the better.

But that wasn't in anyway putting the club at risk. They did very well for us How was it not putting the club at risk? They allowed ALK to use the clubs own funds to buy it.

Quite a lot. I wouldn't have anywhere near as much trust in an owner from overseas than I would a local honour simply because we don't know what their real motive is.

Not sure we are in the queue, let alone second. From a personal perspective, my increase is negligible, an extra £1.43 a month by my maths. But after the frankly crap season we’re all witnessing you might have thought they’d at least try and hold the prices or at best apply say a 5% increase across...

I asked this question around 5 years ago and was told that as long as you buy them a ticket, there wasn’t a minimum age as such.

Things might have changed though.

Genuinely, is anyone surprised? ALK are all about maximising revenues. Fans come second… at best

Hypothetically (and it's a stretch because I still don't see us getting enough points), we could be in the position on the last day of us thinking we need a win to stay up, pushing for another goal and losing, when in reality after points deductions we might only have needed to play out a draw with ...

I have absolutely nothing to base this on, but could see both him and Jay joining Westy in the MLS this summer.

I spoke to the club yesterday and, apparently, there will be an email at the start of next week with all the renewal details.

In terms of distribution, Muric has a ceiling that Trafford could not even dream of. And this is precisely the point, the Muric ceiling is huge. Why don't some fans see this ?

There’s no point dropping him now. We’re down and out, we might aswell persevere with a view to next season, because you can bet your bottom dollar that Muric will be the first out the door.

1. Enjoy going to the Turf again. I know we were spoilt last season, those seasons come around once in a lifetime, but to see us go down without a whimper has been difficult to watch.

If VK isn’t going to give Zaroury minutes then it makes sense to get him out on loan. I don’t agree with it, but he’s a depreciating asset as things stand.
