I get what you're saying and it's still far too early to be writing any of these lads off, but the one issue I think we might have is that we paid a very high price for a lot of these players, and that inevitably comes with more risk attached if they don't work out. Koleosho is obviously the except...

I mean - we already are a bit. Wanting multi club ownership, massive packed out squad, happy to chop and change every season with large swathes of transfers. Add a manager merry go round and we’re the new Watford! Every season? We needed a full rebuild of the squad last season Then we needed to add...

Sigh People just don’t get it Players are mostly young and will improve Players are mostly on long contracts, this makes a big difference Several players were held in high regard/ones to watch, across Europe before coming here - Tresor and Amdouni being examples More often than not the transfer fees...

When we went down last we probably owed on Weghorst and Cornet and sold players for a decent return. To go down now we’d still owe on pretty much everyone that came in, now you’re saying we can simply sell them - we’re still going to have to replace any that we sell. It’s kicking the can down the r...

Ramsey hasn't been fit since day 1, has had strapping on some part of he's leg every appeance.

He’s still fitter than benny and has made more appearances etc

That was my point
Why risk benny when he’s barely been back a week or so?

They are probably thinking two things. Firstly, can we survive in the Premier League? Answer: doubtful. Secondly, can we service the level of debt and borrowing if we are relegated? Answer: with difficulty. When we got relegated last time they made it clear that the debts weren’t an issue If we go ...

Spot on re subs but more concerning is why Benny isn't playing and why Ramsay was considered a good idea instead of Obafemi? Benny has had a hamstring injury He’s only just come back into the squad Ramsey and benny play in different positions Ramsey is most likely fitter than Benny, so less of a ri...

On the subject of West Brom this is a vey interesting tweet from Matt Slater in response to the club announcing the MSD loan deal https://twitter.com/mjshrimper/status/1608190602117611520 “For the avoidance of doubt…” Oh, there’s no doubt about it.

No I said they would go. I doubt any would be signed by prem clubs. Potentially foster but that’s it. The rest will likely disappear to France, Netherlands, Belgium, a few perhaps to Turkey or Saudi. Off course I’m obsessed with staying up? Our clubs long term stability depends on it. Championship ...

Grow the squad
No one knew we’d be this toss, but both the players and managers are new to this league

He’s earned the right to bring us back up

We’ve had crap seasons in this league before and lots of people wanted the old manager gone

In regards to the sheff utd game, it is a game we need to win, but we’ve had other games we need to win

The problem is we’ve got a soft underbelly, no real grit in the team

If we’re going down then so be it, but he’s earned the chance to bring us back up

11 defeats in 13 games… 4 points in total.. If that kind of utter shambles of a return doesn’t warrant the sack then nothing will in your eyes. His time is up for me now. There is nothing left to come from him at all now. Another 1 tactic wonder. Ah another manager for you to be unhappy with Yet th...

GodIsADeeJay81

Not at all, but I feel there is one thing bemoaning the fact that your players don't get enough minutes but another thing actively coming out and saying "I will be influencing transfers". Maatsen is going to seek a move in January, he’s been dropped from the Holland squad due to lack of game time B...

Which is completely wrong. Particularly in the case of disabled parking imo.

I’m in the process of appealing a ticket my missus got a few weeks ago
The local council aren’t giving me the information I’ve asked for so I’ll take it to the national appeal board and get it cancelled

Grow up silky, my comment was a fair one. I don’t understand the case we have for suing Everton.

On the same basis why arnt we suing Man City and Chelsea?

Until city and Chelsea have been found guilty, then nobody can sue them

GodIsADeeJay81

It there is one underlying theme arising from the furore surrounding Everton's point's penalty it is the demand that the rules and penalties be applied consistently. Something that we know has not happened in the past, and something that we have been reminded of again today thanks to this investiga...

He was banned from the greater Manchester area whilst on bail
He couldn’t train/play for City as a result

City will probably use that angle to ensure they win this

Both sides could probably reach an agreement somewhere in the middle to make this go away

The Spanish gov are looking to do the same as the French, as in issuing in longer visas for British citizens who own property in France

Simon Jordan reckons there's zero chance of any clubs being able make a claim from Everton, we will have to wait and see.

I like Jordan and he’s usually worth a listen, but it’s worth remembering that he was adamant we’d be knackered after relegation so he can be wrong about stuff

Increased security costs, so he raised prices for away fans
Wrexham then lowered prices
Wrexham also live streamed the game I’ve read and Accy didn’t benefit from that financially

It’s all a bit handbags but Holt is getting some undeserved stick I think

Question. Did she display the badge?

Doesn’t matter
To prove a contravention occurred, the parking firm must have proof that there was no blue badge on display, or if it was, it was displayed incorrectly

Without that proof, they can’t prove the contravention occurred or enforce the fine

GodIsADeeJay81

I’m surprised they weren’t also given a transfer ban

GodIsADeeJay81

They’ve been found guilty of breaking the rules

That has cost us a fair chunk of monies from various revenue streams

They should be sued

It’s the PL chasing them through the courts, because the PL doesn’t have a time limit like UEFA does

Why have Everton been punished far quicker than Man city?

City have been at it for longer
More to investigate, paperwork to go over and it’s currently in court anyway

If they’re going to nail City then they have to make sure their ducks are all lined up

Leeds didn’t go down that season so it should be just us. Everton were only 4 points ahead of us with a worse goal difference so even a 4 point deduction that season and they would have gone down. All adds to our argument which seems a strong one. Leeds went down last season though, so they’ve pote...

To presume that we “ didn’t seriously need” the Prem money as opposed to 2nd season parachute payments ( 45% as we had a few seasons up there , dropping to 20% if we had a 3rd champ season ) is a touch optimistic .

Tella and Maatsen should have been bought, no question.

'The plan' can't be much more than to compete in the top league of English football and raise the profile of the club right? How you set about achieving it is different altogether admittedly.
