Anywhere between 3 to 10% seems to be the range for agents. Nice earner for Eyresy’s company.

I didn't know David Eyres was an agent.

Hope one of them isn’t a fat Berg. We need players match fit and ready to start. Ugh

Yes. I remember the days when a new signing went straight into the team.

What wonderful times we’ve had in the Championship ,far better than the odd morsel we get in the Premier league ,we’re now treated like the thing that someone stepped in rather than hated and secretly admired by all and sundry in the Championship,how weird a place it is where we all strive to get a...

Comment on Egan-Riley after his straight red card:

‘He is out of his depth unfortunately…. Needs a few more seasons in the Championship or even league One in the UK…., OM is a step too far…. Definitely has the talent but lacks big match experience‘

League 1?!

And yet we seem to have no issue with Burnley spending over £100 million in one season compared to half that by Birmingham over two seasons. Different league admittedly but a tad hypocritical don’t you think?

As Vegas says below. Bham and Wxm spent a hell of a lot for third tier sides.

I'd take Wrexham, Birmingham and Rovers.

Good selection. Two big spenders and the enemy.

How dare you!

Advocating for Rovers to survive, wash your mouth out.

Whoops! Good point. I'd totally forgotten about the blue and white lowlife.

Quicknick

Both Sheffields and Ipswich relegated would be funny. It won't happen, though.

He came onto the field with a samsonite holdall with wheels.

Laughed out loud at that.

He looks an excellent goalkeeper. Great signing.

I've found one: 'Till the Morning Comes' by Neil Young.

just checked the length of 'Just for a Moment' by Ultravox [John Foxx]; it's too long.

6-0 Haha

Quicknick

I couldn't understand why they appointed Selles in the first place. He's a nothing Manager. If they want to be in the top 6 next May they need to bite the bullet and sack him now!!! It's not inconceivable that they could go down. The last time they went down to League 1, they lost in the Championsh...

He was poor versus Spurs and very good against Sunderland. Let's not get carried away. Some people are making it out like we have the second coming of Sir Bobby Moore the way they are describing him.

How about the second coming of Vince Overson?

Quicknick

Was a great game of football but I can't help feel depressed at the predictability of it all. There are no happy endings in football and the whole thing seems rigged towards the top sides. It's like it's great to watch but heartbreaking to witness at the same time. Not this specific result, just th...

Not a drama queen at all. Just concerned.

He got a penalty awarded, too. Good start.

All this is good to hear.

I think transfer fees since then have more than doubled. There were a total of 368 transfers in during that season at an average of 4.6million pound per transfer. This season (just the summer window) there has been 290 transfers in at an average of 9.3 million pound. Shows just how inflated transfe...

Yet the constant moaning about the likes of Hendrick and Wood was relentless.

Two very good players.

Quicknick

Apart from the two relegation seasons since Dyche took over, we weren't involved in relegation fights. In fact, the five seasons prior to our 2021/22 relegation yielded an average league position of precisely 13th.

Quicknick

I watched Rangers last night in a Portuguese bar. I agree with you. Dire. They'd struggle in the Championship, alright.

But you said you'd rather have Tresor or Koleosho than Brun Larsen, and I don't think either is any better.

Brun Larson was just about our best player in the Kompany EPL season. I was disappointed when he left.

I stand to be corrected but I think we have beaten Everton more times than any other Premier League team.

Is that the case? Sounds unlikely, but what do I know?

Quicknick

If Leeds can beat Everton, so can we.

Quicknick

If I still had my Reliant 21E Van, I'd let you have it dead cheap.

Quicknick

I did, my point is you can't expect a country to change to suit you (when in Rome) etc... you have to adjust your expectations ... or leave. I agree. I wouldn't say Portugal's general inefficiency was why I left, though. There were other reasons. But as the last poster said above, living/holidaying...

Your "incompetence at every turn" comment........if you don't like it leave!

If you'd read my original post properly, you'd know that I have. Have you ever lived abroad? It's only when you do that, that you work out how countries are.

When in Portugal what?

Tony Waiters came out of retirement to play for us when Peter Mellor was injured. He impressed with his consistency after a slightly shaky start. I realise Martin Dubravka wasn't retired, but he hadn't been playing regularly.

One of the best ever singers. Maybe the best.

No way he could have saved any of them.

Must have been pandemonium in the Brum end, Rovers collapse in last few minutes.
Lose 1-2

Disappointed with our result; delighted with Bburn's. I must watch the highlights.

Quicknick

Best to ignore those who simply revel in misery and negativity. I thought it was a decent performance overall. If Hannibal had put that chance away just before Richarlison's worldie we'd have been deservedly level and it would have been a very different game. Clearly we need to become more clinical...

Remember the FA Cup game at Gigg Lane , attendance was around 18K and we must have well over half of the crowd , we were poor and lost 1-0

I was there. I'd say we had 10,000, at least.

Preston Both Ends
So called after the final game in 73s promotion. Not certain how much of the ground we had, but it was packed and far more Clarets than Nobs.

I was there. Somewhere between 15,000 and 18,000. Totally took the big home end, and we had most of both sides.

Quicknick

Let's have a repeat of the first day of the 2017-18 season, only at a different London ground.

8,700 season tickets sold isn't bad.

Sounds pretty typical. I have Portuguese in-laws so visit Lisbon a couple of times a year at least, the rest of society functions like this too.

Agreed. Incompetence is at every turn in Portugal. I lived in Lagos for six years and visit every year for two or three months as I have a condo.

Quicknick

That was interesting. Thanks.
