How does Garlick "get out", assuming he wants to? What is a fair price? How much has he invested? I doubt he thought that BFC was going to be a goldmine when he started on this journey but it is a real issue now. I assume he considers himself a custodian of the Club but he wouldn't want to sell at a...

Remember those involved with the Club are unpaid volunteers and it is unlikely there is a personal vendetta. To be fair you have already recognised communication is a two way street but I would suggest you make a fresh start at a new Club in the right age group and consider getting involved with his...

Thanks, finally at last somebody's grasped that the person interacts with a nationwide audience on a prime TV slot which probably attracts millions of viewers per week, hence the need to maintain a balanced impartial frontfaced persona. :lol: :lol: :lol: you are a treasure Jakub :lol: :lol: :lol:

Great experience and education for the lad too. Enjoyed quoting the Sky commentator's superlatives to the Leeds fans here in Wakey.

Actually, you put me on to the Wembley Trophy, which I googled, and I think it was the posh version that I loved.

I have memories of a white plastic ball, sold in newsagents in the late 1970s/early 80s. It was a decent weight, pannelled like a leather ball but a bit kinder to the young foot. Heavy enough to be able to generate power but soft enough to manipulate it. It was my favourite football of all time and ...

He won’t come to Burnley. Man City would be able to offer him a much higher salary.

But we might be more flexible with his image rights. You're being a bit naive thinking it's all about headline salary in this day and age.

good, bout time they got rid of very poor pundits who were stealing a living.

sent out the wrong message that mediocre was acceptable in a competitive environment.

perhaps the most talented panel may also be diverse

There are blue and yellow buttons as well, and I don’t think I’ve ever pressed either. This opens up a whole world of possibilities.

Duffer_

If it's practical to do so, I'm all for freedom of choice for everybody. Sure, it is practical in the sense that it could be done. That is not the same as it being desirable though. Using my analogy, it is unlikely that Dwight would have got his chance because relatively few people had seen him play.

The panel on Soccer Saturday is often dull, negative, poorly informed and prone to in-jokes that do nothing to enhance my experience as a viewer. The 3 presenters are pretty interchangeable to me, and you can add Cottee, McInally and Merson to the list. I would welcome some new voices and perspectiv...

So that's transfer fee and wages covered.

My bad. I should have clarified, I also pay for 2 junior STs. I reckon if another 100 pledge with me then we can cover his wages for a week. You with me Tone?

I don't particularly see this as a threat. The revenue from the additional 160 games on PPV should go into the central pot and be apportioned according to the existing revenue share agreement.

CT - Apologies for the report - I think my fat fingers must have accidentally pressed it.

If you accidently reported the post I think you did, then you saved me a job. A puerile attempt at "fishing" at best, inflammatory, provocative and racist at worst.

Duffer_

I think it would be easier to: 1) keep STs out of the equation by refunding them in full; 2) making the 160 games PPV: and 3) when fans are permitted back, albeit at less than capacity, invite ST holders to indicate whether they wish to attend with an option to link attendance with other ST holders ...

Duffer_

There are quite a few issues to think through, including the one you raise stripes. Some ST holders wil already have paid for Sky and/or BT, so I assume they will not have to pay twice. We will feature less than most teams in the 220 pre-selected games, meaning we will have to pay more on the 160 PP...

I think a lot of people are being a bit mean here. I can well believe that "many" people who sit near you have said they are not renewing. Whether they take STs elsewhere in the stadium is another matter.
