Thanks for this Tony

I have been scouring the bbc website to see what happened and there is no report

Great commentary

Thought the ref had given Aston Villa a pen for a foul 10 yards out of the box

No such thing as self employed furlough.

There was an equivalent furlough scheme for self employed who were prevented from working

I think it was aimed at the likes of self employed bar owners/restauranters.

New saints in Faroe Islands must be an adventure

Glad its not my call.

Tarkowski is probably having second thoughts about going to West Ham. Their next league fixtures are: Arsenal Wolves Leicester Tottenham Man City Liverpool I'd say it is quite possible they are on 0 pts after 7 games. Moyes will likely get sacked and then Tarks will have to deal with a new manager ...

Anyone else feeling eager to see a start of another campaign but inwardly fearing relegation? I felt optimistic a few days ago, big fan of Sean Dyche, and definately no critic of the board, but there is a vague sense of things not being as they should be. maybe just a fleeting moment on a late frid...

Everybody has favourites.

That was unnecessary

I pointed out some facts you made an insinuation based on no facts. I am no fan of Flood but grateful he came our way

Down_Rover

Without Flood we would not be where we are now. He put the money in to get us in the Premier League. He got no financial benefit.

Why is he like marmite and vilified by sections of our fans?

Down_Rover

True Skybet has McNeil at 1/4 to go to Leicester

Also 5/4 Tarks to Wet Spam

But they have Pope at 5/2 to go to Chelsea

All just guesswork, I wont be investing in a treble

Down_Rover

What system?

Just a lot of questions

Down_Rover

He is the manager of a squad that includes

A player that attacks another
A player that went to a sex party during lockdown
A player who lost control in Greece
And two players who took girls back to their room in Iceland

Discipline is down to him, he needs to set examples

Down_Rover

Richie Blackmore
Bill Nelson
Phil Manzanera
Alvin Lee
Jimi Hendrix
Gary Rossington

Is it good news though? Of our 3 prize assets, Pope is the only one we can afford to replace with someone almost as good.

Well after the NI result yesterday you must know something about Norris

Down_Rover

The difference with those ones is the replacements were already at the club and had had a long time (12 months+) bedding in and getting the tactical understanding of Dyche's system. When we parachuted a replacement directly into the starting lineup of the defence (Hart) it did not go very well. Exc...

Talk about being passed a poisoned chalice.

Santamaria is a definite target I’ve been told. We’re looking to complete a deal. It’s not just paper talk. We were interested in Matty Cash but Forest wanted too much.

Maybe you have a point. Our players need to learn to drop to the floor as if they have been shot by a crossbow bolt

So what do you expect of William Hill then?

No-one. I want and expect Dyche to be our manager next season

How many seasons has it taken for us to get 21 penalties?

The information on the website isn't clear, but it reads to me that you need to make the payment before the 31 March 2021 and it won't be taken by DD.

That’s how I read it

He kept nets for us 97-98. Probably passed his best. Lazio can have him.

Thanks for clearing that up. Got a bit confused with another player

This is one thing that we need to nip in the bud, giving substantial sell-on clauses, i'd rather pay a little more in the first place and lower the sell-on clauses.

But if you pay more you always lose. Paying out of realised profits is always safer

if that is correct

This doesn't show Jay or Wood for some reason but I would imagine they will be right up there

I guess thats a guess.

I thought the range over the first team squad was more compacted. Certainly was a couple of years ago

Down_Rover

Why would any but a select few clubs not insist on them is probably the question you should be asking. There's talk of a wage cap in the championship and it could well happen due to Covid etc. Relegation clauses should be mandatory for every league if they want to stop more scenarios like Bolton, L...

Down_Rover

This relegation clause intrigues me. I suspect they are as common as hens teeth

As said above, why would any player agree to it?

Ben Gibson

Down_Rover

Pointless exercise.

On the assumption VAR was right then the league table is as it should be with referees mistakes having been eliminated.

Equally it assumes that if VAR had not intervened that the game, and all other results would have panned out the same. That is unlikely.

To be fair, can we keep this thread to players we are actually rumoured to be in for, and not who we think we should go for. Otherwise it'll be a mess of a thread and about 1000 pages long.

Didn’t Defour become a target because he was talked about on a similar thread

I like Kev, cant fault his attitude and loyalty. for 90+% of games he plays well but you can expect at least one mistake a game. If we could confidently predict that Tarks and Mee would only miss a handful of games next season then I would be more than happy to have Kev as third choice. But we cant....
