Why are we concerning ourselves with that mob up the road?
We have just gone rock bottom of the league after our poor relegation rivals were unlucky to get a draw with the team who easily beat us last Sunday.
We are almost as shite as they are. Next season could be a real leveller.

‘White Englishman…’ what a sad, pathetic comment. Well done Jimmy. Whether it’s a statue or something else, he needs to be properly recognised in the town. Explain yourself, why is it a sad pathetic comment? I don’t know what England’s schedule is but If Jimmy is in Lancashire for our next home mat...

Jamesy

Been saying this for years now… every day that goes by without this happening is a blight upon our town council. The guys truly world class…. If he was from Yorkshire, there’d be a street in every town in the county claiming him as their own. They won’t be erecting a statue for Jimmy, although he c...

Of course.

I dunno about the shirts but our new sponsor should be “Confused.com”.

He would be taken more seriously if he turned up at the presser wearing the spinning illuminated bow tie and the big flappy shoes.

Jamesy

Well in Brentford’s case they spent €72m in summer and €49m the year prior with €256m over 5 years. They agreed a €30m deal for Nusa in Jan that fell through on medical and have already signed €33m Thiago for summer. So they’re already signing players nearly double our outlay. And Bournemouth spent...

Jamesy

He’s spent an awful lot by Burnley standards. The problem is, as we’re finding out, Burnley standards and Premier League standards are worlds apart. You have to be owned by a billionaire/a state, or have a 60000 home attendance (in many cases both) to really stand a chance of competing financially....

Jamesy

Firstly, I do think he’s shown signs he’s learning. He reverted to 4-4-2 after a handful of games and we looked more solid. Just last game he dropped Amdouni (who I think will be a very good player if he stays with us in the Champ or at a team that can afford a luxury player). I also think his Janu...

Jamesy

That’s not what we are talking about though. You are referring to PGMOL accepted errors. I am on about things they haven’t accepted - Luton’s equaliser, Villa’s penalty, the Bournemouth handball, the Coufal foul on Koleosho. All were accepted by virtually all pundits as too harsh on us. Doesn’t exc...

But we did score against them and it was wrongly disallowed

And that excellent save by Bournemouth’s keeper denied us a goal.
We were still p!ss poor though.

Jamesy

We can argue all day on transfer fees. I don’t think the press even know given Kompany has said before that the prices we’ve paid are far lower than reported in the press and Matt Williams recently said the fee we’d agreed for Maatsen was far lower than the €31.5m Sky reported. Had we signed him, a...

Our lot are taking the ****. I mean, how long does it really take to release the prices?

I think like Vincent they were hoping for a miracle and we somehow started winning, thus avoiding the drop.
Then the 10% price increase.

Jamesy

Interesting this is Pete. Overall a 6% increase could be argued as reasonable, especially when they say they have only raised them once by 1.5% since moving to the new stadium. With the abolition of the discounted rate for seniors the season after next they are citing the increase in senior season t...

Anybody actually thought it could be problems at the west ham end?

Might have been at the West Ham end yes. Nothing wrong with chasing it up though to gee them along.
Whatever, end the problem was at, the supporters should be a priority.

Jamesy

I know it’s an “Unpopular Opinion” thread but I find it staggering some people still try and defend what we’ve produced - a THIRTEEN point haul from TWENTY SEVEN games! I don’t care if it’s unpopular to say it or not but we have been utter shite this season. Sheffield United made no attempt to be a...

I've just asked the TO that same question! Apparently they're late coming out as there's been a few issues with them.

Well they should make it their number one priority to sort issues out promptly.

Whether Trafford’s fee was £14 million or £19million - we overpaid by at least £12 million

Not sure we overpaid by that much? However, we certainly had our pants pulled down and at the same time helped City comply with FFP.

Disappointing. Not as disappointed as travelling Preston fans will be though. Feel for em.

Cullen, Berge, Foster, Ekdal, Beyer, Taylor.

Jamesy

Why don’t we just keep this thread simple and name only six players who we would like to stay?
I’m hard pushed to find just six.

Jamesy

I hope they manage to extinguish the fire. I have got a bet on this game tonight!

Jamesy

Yeah everyone quotes we paid 19 for Trafford when it looks like we paid 14. The Forest numbers as reported have been posted on here, use the search facility. Just like the Burnley numbers, it might not be pin point accurate which is why I put between 3-400. Either way, they spent massively hence th...

Jamesy

I wasn’t replying about the team, that’s been done to death. I was replying to your comment that we have a huge debt to service, which we know halved last year, and pretty much nothing else other than our parent companies have received large, unexplained cash inflows. The mention of the team was in...

Jamesy

Nobody knows what debt we have got or whether it is higher or lower than last time we were relegated. Three much overlooked discussion threads on the debt topic are that we will have had far lower wage expenses this time than when we were last relegated, we have further scope to rapidly reduce the ...

Jamesy

What huge debt? What are the repayments? How much do we have to cover those debts? How much did our new investors put in? Simple fact. You borrow a lot of money, you have to pay it back as per agreed terms at point of borrowing money. You receive money for promotion to Premier League. You are sensi...

Failing :lol: Funny to see you with your thong in a twist, after all those years of you trying to silence my opinion on Dycheball. VK is not failing btw, he took us up year 1 and down year 2, he’s built a pretty good talented squad from scratch in that time and no doubt made the club a fortune alon...

Jamesy

1. I don't want us to become a "sacking club" as it achieves absolutely nothing (see numerous examples, too many to mention!) and especially after what he did last season I'm ok sticking with Kompany and seeing where we are come the start of November. 2. As someone mentioned above just one player i...

The official attendance was 19k, that includes non attendees who bought tickets. To me it looked thinned out all over. Where do you sit? I sit in Bob Lord and upper decks of JH and JM looked full and only real empty seats were on wings on lower decks of both of these stands. Cricket Field had a few...

They’re certainly cutting it fine with the price announcements.

They will be announcing them in 4 weeks time. They won’t be called Early Bird though. More like Giving the Bird, to us loyal supporters.

I know who I'd back to be more successful next season, and it wouldn't be luton.

You wouldn’t put your money on just yet though. Especially as Luton could be in a division above us at the start of next season?

Jamesy

Trafford 16 mill. Amdouni 16.5 mill. Ramsay 15 mill. Tresor 16 mill once we have paid for him at end of season. Odobert 10 mill. These are 70+ million.
Do you want me to list any more?

Jamesy

It depends on your definition of "waste". If its that those bought have not been as good as expected this season, then most would agree with you However if you mean he's wasted £100 million never to be seen again then that would be wrong, because at some stage that 100 million will be recouped, or ...

Jamesy

Stay humble chaps. Some might be mistaken for thinking you all have some sort of glee from seeing us fail. Don’t get any glee from it whatsoever. I actually really like the Championship. It’s called frustration. When our manager who we all lauded last season wastes, yes wastes the sum of over £100 ...

Jamesy

Why do we rubbish anyone in the media who is critical of our team?
Anyone would think we were pushing for a European place.
How can anyone take offence about him saying what everyone apart from a few myopic clowns on here think?

Jamesy

I think it’s obvious to everyone mistakes were made in the summer window, repeating it endlessly on every topic 9 months later is just boring tho It might be boring to you. It is just to illustrate that Sheff Utd have spent Jack shite and we have spent circa £110 million excluding what we have got ...

You might as well.

Jamesy

We'll start winning when we know for sure we are down. Then the pressure will be off and we can play without fear again. We should be aiming to finish as high as we can anyway to get more money. I don't think Kompany will know for sure who is going to start and go until the summer. The fact is we w...

I don't necessarily disagree with the second part, that we've spurned a golden opportunity, but It's not really highlighted by Sheff Utd, they're still not a patch on us. Of course they are. They are on the same number of points. We are both equally as shite. But in different ways of being shite. W...

I’m sorry but whatever talent Amdouni has file it under Weghorst. Never ever a premier league player. He hasn’t got the physicality/pace/work ethic to be a success at this level. It’s been apparant for some time as well. He’s the type of lad that will go to somewhere like Rennes or Nice and have a ...

Considering they lost their best player to us,are in a mess behind the scenes, haven't really strengthened and weren't not a patch on us last season it really does highlight just how Kompany has spunked away a golden opportunity and some serious money.

yeah that's smart - do other clubs not do the same ? (us included)

I don’t think so? But I don’t use our catering bars on match days.
A bloke on the train on Saturday claimed he had paid over a tenner though for a pint of crap lager and a pie.
