The NHS will cope using the same methods it used for the wave of covid.

Mee and Lowton hopefully available from 31/10/20 and Cork on 21/11/20.

Not sure who is going to be right back on Monday if Lowton isnt fit!

I hope no West Ham fans enacted the 3 goal rule and left.

Granny WeatherWax

3 goal rule, back to the pub.

Dyche out

Granny WeatherWax

Ridiculous, that’s a red if an outfield player makes the same challenge.

Granny WeatherWax

I didn’t take that from it, I thought it was a decent interview and gave the reality of a few situations.

Investing that the club had no option really with PPV.

We’ve lost tens of millions.

Didn’t like his dressing up of the transfer window.

Presumably that’s offset by the fact that 25% of PL budget will go to EFL. The whole point of Big Picture is to reduce the disparity between PL & EFL revenues.

Suspect 25% of tv deal wouldn’t be anywhere near the parachute payments.

In what way ?

Much of what they’ve proposed will happen. Parachute payments being the big one that would affect a club like ours. What would we do with an £80m wage bill and no parachute payments?

Granny WeatherWax

Project big picture makes it even riskier us signing anyone on a decent contract.

Granny WeatherWax

We will be put in tier 3 tomorrow.

Granny WeatherWax

Missing away days much much more though.

As is my Mrs

Granny WeatherWax

I am, even more so as we have had a poor start, watching it with your mates and going for a beer after helps relieve the stress, it’s a nightmare watching at home.

Granny WeatherWax

I am hearing that i'm going to be in Tier 2 (greater manchester), id suspect Burnley would be similar.

Granny WeatherWax

I think when fans are eventually allowed back some clubs will get a real shock. Think Burnley, hard hit by furlough etc, low income area, fans furious with the club for not signing players and refunding ticket money, will have got out of the habit of going to the game, we might be in the championshi...

Granny WeatherWax

What about those season ticket holders who intended to renew but found they couldn't at the end of March because sales were cancelled? Only recently the club confirmed they would be given the option of going into ballots, now it seems that has gone. They’ve answered a tweet along the same lines say...

If you feel that strongly about it make a stand and don't pay it, simple. It's not compulsory.

Why would I cut my nose off to spite my face? Still doesn’t make it fair though. I’m lucky, I can afford it, many won’t be able too.

Granny WeatherWax

It doesn't cost you more to watch Burnley though than it did before lockdown if you were paying adult prices. No arguing against that and as a Burnley fan, that is the only comparison you should be making in this. Why is it? I’m talking about this deal and it’s costing Burnley fans more than other ...

Granny WeatherWax

"Burnley fans will be penalised more by the times we are shown on TV compared to bigger clubs" Disagree with this in that this is no different to what happened befofe COVID. We were a less favourable team so people who wanted to see us play every game of the season would normally pay more if they w...

Whilst it may seem unfair to ex-St holders, it probably will seem fair to most ST holders.

Well not this one, I think it’s ridiculously unfair.

Granny WeatherWax

It’s linked to St holders, who surely should be given preference over non- ST holders. If season ticket holders want a refund they won’t go into ballot. How is that fair? They might need a refund as they’ve lost their job but might eventually be able to afford ballot tickets. It’s Tory boy behaviour.

Granny WeatherWax

There's an argument for cancelling sky sports given how many times we are likely to be on that vs PPV

Again, couldn't agree more. Talk about alienating fans who had paid up front, had their money held for potentially eight months and might need to get it refunded. Yep, I am lucky as I can afford to continue to pay but so many of our fans wont be in that position. They have completely ignored their ...

Granny WeatherWax

horrific by Burnley to link the ballot to season ticket refunds. Bang out of order.

Granny WeatherWax

so fans of burnley fulham etc get screwed over compared with fans of united liverpool etc

surely our club will do something about it as completely unfair.

we could have an extra 25 PPV games compared to United fans.

Granny WeatherWax

We will be back to full lockdown in the NW over October half term.

Granny WeatherWax

In 8 months time the picture should be much clearer. If, indeed we do go down, (which i think a blind man can see is likely) we should be in a position to bounce back. By then, maybe, some of our academy players will be ready for first team football. We will still have Gawthorpe etc & we won't be c...

Granny WeatherWax

You can think outside the box when you have a squad to work with. What Dyche is being asked to do is nothing short of a Harry Houdini escape trick. He might have more of a squad if he wasn’t fixated on signing the same type of players all the time. It’s not all his fault but it’s not all MG’s either

Granny WeatherWax

Totally agree, but that depends on how much we are in the black you are setting as the buffer for the TV restrictions, or that you need a clear bank balance for a take over to go through. Either way i would consider the cost to replace those on contract renewals that are due for renewal next year, ...

Don’t know if your serious, but I agree
and besides basic common sense there was 15 million other reasons to sort it out

Was tongue in cheek but completely serious about why 2 grown men couldn’t sort it out. He’d have played a quarter of last season and all of this so far.

Granny WeatherWax

Look around, compare, and listen to the professionals. Dyche has been hung out to dry and when our club falls through trap doors (plural) remember that is because MG did not agree with speculate to accumulate. So you’re only argument as to why he screwed up was that he didn’t ‘speculate to accumula...

Granny WeatherWax

Totally acceptable, however every pundit, and fan are shouting loud from the roof tops, back your manager. If we didn't have the last 5 ears those U23's would not be here and so we need to progress to improve that. I fear if we drop to the Championship, we have players on 1 year contracts about to ...

West Ham have released Jack Wilshire after 2 years at club.
Been fit last 8 months but not considered.

would a loan to us be good for both?

He’s been released so no loan but I’d have him on a pay as you play deal.

Granny WeatherWax

Maybe Dyche realises that MG is in it for his gains and doesnt give a stuff about the club/fans, and he is making this clear before a takeover? No one is going to take us over if we look a danger to go down, so on that basis if Garlick is in for the gains then it’s in his interest that we stay in t...

MG you really are excelling tonight! Look mate I'm not sure what your agenda is, or who set it for you, but I think you need to read the forum and realise you have gone in to deep in the MG camp to have any sensibility 1 - I’m not your mate 2 - If you read all my posts you’d see that I’m saying bot...

Maybe Dyche needs to be a bit more flexible in the sort of players he's willing to work with? Surely he's twigged by now that the sort of players he wants, British and experienced are generally too expensive for us?

100%. It’s basic maths. Not sure why some people can’t grasp it.

Or Thomas? if we don't give the youngsters a chance we'll never know if the investment in the academy is worth it or not.

Needs to be our model. Bring youth through and sell them, we don’t generate enough income to keep buying players.

Granny WeatherWax

Some of the anti board posts are ridiculous but equally so are some of the pro board posts. The reality is that however you dress it up we are staring at another prolonged period where Kevin Long is our back up centre half and our wingers are made of balsa wood. It didn’t need £40m or whatever to r...

Someone to replace Tarks when he leaves no later than next Summer. That someone would surely be confident that a vacancy was imminent.

And how do we afford someone good enough to replace Tarks in 8 months time.

What’s wrong with seeing if Dunne will be good enough, for example.

Granny WeatherWax

The “one club mentality” that Dyche preached has to return. Dyche needs to remember this. His outbursts are causing disunity between fans, mngt & owners. We’re not going to spend, we all need accept this. It’s time to unite, and if we go down, well it wasn’t going to happen eventually. One thing is ...

And when the chairman stumps up the cash like 15 million on Gibson, Dyche decides he surplus to requirements.

Maybe, but surely it was worth a relatively small risk to replace Gibson and Lennon. It comes across like we have just given up.

It still costs money

Who could we sign of the required quality to come and sit on the bench to cover for mee / tarks?
