It's not the first time I've seen you (and others) whinge on about this bloke, to the point where it's a bit weird. He's harmless. 99% don't care about it. It's not really a stretch to imagine these are the sorts of things you'll look to influence given the grudge you seem to hold against this bloke...

Embarrassing from you this.

Explain

BigGaz

It's common courtesy to pronounce names correctly - his attempts were dreadful. At least he's dropped "WE ARE MOMENTS AWAY FROM KICK OFF" and replaced it with "WE ARE SECONDS AWAY FROM KICK OFF". Apparently the club have had lots of emails saying how good he is (no I don't believe it either). It's ...

I have no input in this game but 'in my opinion' that wasn't a simple voicing of an opinion, however.... if your going to put on a post like that ... expect a response ... You are allowed to voice your opinion but your response seems like others can't have a view on your opinion ? You are missing s...

BigGaz

Okay, well in good faith, can I suggest that you make your agenda, your talking points, the specific things you are trying to influence both now and in the future front and center of your webpage. I am not saying this as someone who knows better, or wants to be chairman, or is desperate to belittle ...

BigGaz

May we ask, Gaz, have you read through the documents on our website? Thank you for your response. I have. I read the aims and objectives, and whilst they serve as a good framework for the overall scope of the organisation, they do not tell me specifically what you want to try to achieve. What are t...

BigGaz

So let me get this straight: You’re not a member, but feel strangely compelled to leap to the ISA’s defence like its unpaid PR rep. You don’t currently fit the demographic, but you’ve decided to join just in time to retroactively validate your argument. And the pièce de résistance — accusing me of w...

BigGaz

I've had a look at his xSBB (Signed before Broja) ratio and it's 0.17, indicating that it's irrelevant.

Curiously - what are the demographics of the ISA? Is this data collected?

I don't think it is but here's a picture that Boyyano shared from the 2025 AGM.

BigGaz

Again, nope, I still have the post. And as I mentioned earlier, do you genuinely believe it's unreasonable to scrutinise the motives of those seeking to represent all of us in influencing the direction of the club? Or should we just nod it through without question? And what message do you think it s...

BigGaz

Mmm, nope, just asking if the ISA was going to be representative of all of the fanbase rather than a collective of middle aged, white, heterosexual males.

BigGaz

Tony, you might as well delete all of my posts mate, and my account whilst you're at it. I'm fed up of this two tier approach you're taking to modding me. Seemingly people can say what they like to me but I'm not allowed to have my opinion. Thanks for the two years, and I wish you well with your ISA.

BigGaz

Thank you. These things can be a thankless task and I do wish you every success - I am just a sceptic, don't mind me. I will will observe on the sidelines for now.

BigGaz

Yes, but there needs to be targeted advertising, a genuine desire to bring diverse voices on board, and—most importantly—a clear manifesto outlining what the group aims to achieve. In other words, there needs to be evidence that the goal is to work for the benefit of everyone, not just the isa. I'd ...

BigGaz

Eriksson getting brought on to stand over a dead ball or fk with ten mins left fills me with a lot more hope than some of our previous incumbents for sure. I know we've got some lads who understand the tactico side a lot more than me but they want to be getting on to Scott to put him straight asap, ...

BigGaz

We are, at best, a stepping stone. I admire that he's had the balls to say it. I hope that he plays well enough that he is proven right.

BigGaz

I don't think that this cohort of people will adequately reflect the wide ranging demographic that make up our fanbase, the diversity of viewpoints available, and given the way I've seen some of the people I know to be involved with this venture talk about the FAB, quite a snooty affair. If you can ...

BigGaz

What ****** us last time, or certainly played it's part, is that there was "no room for sentiment". The lot that got us up were either not signed or cast aside and we were starting PL matches with at points less than half the team that got us up. We do have to iterate, and we do have to sign better ...

BigGaz

I don't generally love the PL nor think it's the be all and end all, and I envisage quite a few pumpings on the horizon but how can you not be excited? The thing I'm most pleased about, and it's a sad indictment of the modern game, is that we've bought well in the sense that Hartmann, Broja, JBL, Wa...

BigGaz

It's a bit of a slow 25 minutes. Stoke look more up for it, but despite good patches of play we don't really seem that troubled other than the confusion for the first.

BigGaz

Oomph. Bit of confusion from the lads there unfortunately.

BigGaz

Is it panic setting in or is it a handful of folk that struggle to maintain their composure and cannot regulate their emotions Well?

Things are moving.

BigGaz

We're going to be getting all 3 holes plugged for the next 9 months lads, there's no rush.

BigGaz

My point to all of this, is that this could have been foreseen and and sorted with very little thought required. I don't see what there is to have sorted other than them saying first come first served, which they did, what odds does it make whether there was none left because of the legs or because...

BigGaz

I'm sad about Benson. He's as good a player going forwards as you're likely to see at Championship level. Unplayable on his day.

BigGaz

Beat me to it, interactive experience as you dip, duck, dodge, dive and dodge again the ripped out seats hurled over the barriers

BigGaz

That Scrafton tweet is horrendously worded. We will be putting the 31m towards three new players, not the 13m profit.

I take that to mean we are going to be spending 15-25m on a striker.

Its time to bring Mikautadze home.

BigGaz

I see Sunderland and their super duper collective of players that are lightyears ahead of ours have just been beaten 2-1 by Hull, a side that clung onto their championship status by goal difference, having last week been fisted 3-0 by European powerhouse *checks notes* Hearts. Dread to think how bad...

BigGaz

Ok, I'm only having a bit of fun but: 1) It appears Ortega was never part of our plan 2) This was a "win-win" scenario - he moves abroad; you "win", he signs for an English team; you, er, "win" 3) Cajuste - looks like he's on a very advanced move ........ to Saudi As I say, I'm only having a laugh,...

BigGaz

I don't think you're wrong NewClaret. I think he had a very underwhelming start to his Arse career and then he did something stupid that I CBA going to remind myself what It was. I want to say he ripped the captains armband off or had a go at the crowd/gaffer on the pitch and got publicly stripped o...

BigGaz

That's not the point though is it. The point is they're not struggling to land their targets because they are demonstrably paying over the market value.

I agree Xhaka would be great but I'd be concerned if we paid 17m for a 33 year old.

BigGaz

Tbh I'm not surprised Sunderland aren't struggling. Nobody in their right mind is going to turn down 13m for a 33 year old. Nobody in their right mind is going to turn down the thick end of 40m for two 20 year olds playing in Belgium. Ditto 30m for the other one in France. Another 25m for Le Fee who...

BigGaz

Can't see anything on Brazzers about it?

BigGaz

They already have. I said that they were trying to lump in a player with the Trafford deal to get the price down, that was most likely to be Ortega or Phillips, we know now it was Ortega, but that part fell through so we just took the cash. Was told Brownhill wouldn't sign on and fancies abroad, whi...

BigGaz

Why would Ramsey be leaving? As things stand, we need Ekdal. A loan for Beyer would be useful to see if he can actually play. Ditto Tresor. The rest need to be moved on either via initial loans or sold if we can. Think it is widely accepted/a badly kept secret that Ramsey would be back at Villa alr...

BigGaz

Time for some quick financial stats. Taken from Transfermarkt so not entirely accurate but a good barometer of where we are: So far this season, we are -71 million in the hole with our incomings (Tchaouna, Humphreys, Edwards, Anthony, Hartmann, Flemming, JBL, Weiss, but Trafford leaving brings us to...

Afternoon everyone.

I saw some discourse on the wider forum that seats were available to be sold at 1pm this coming Friday. Is that the case? I can't seem to find the intel. Anyone got a link to the club source?

Many thanks.

BigGaz

I've been told that Cajuste is far more advanced than what is currently being reported, IE practically done.

BigGaz

To be fair, Foster is approaching the point of no return as a Burnley player, though there's no need for the language towards him. He's played effectively half the games available since he arrived here and scores at a rate in 1 in 7. No one can agree on what position he should play, and whether it's...

BigGaz

I'll tell you what, theres some belting players in the U-21s.

We've been farming out no marks for a good number of years but there's a good few who look like they could perform at a good level.

BigGaz

Hi BigGaz, Firstly, thank you. Which "model" do you use? (I presume you use AI). Cheers Hey ECC By models, I mean large-scale AI systems trained on massive datasets to understand and generate human-like language, code, images, or other media, and to be honest, there's not a lot of difference to the...

BigGaz

Hi Corway, Thank you for that. I'm a non-geek and my questions are serious: a) How do you go about obtaining such info? b) How is it sourced i.e. does the "process" draw on one source or several? I genuinely don't know but would like to. Many thanks! It depends on how's he's trained the model, and ...

BigGaz

........but our last Chairman wanted out, with a sale. I am still dubious about the overall aims, ambitions and authenticity of our owners but this isn't talked about enough. We had a lot of money in the bank, and financially it looked great. What is forgotten though is that we went out of our way ...

BigGaz

No way are folk complaining we've done early business. Absolutely no way.

Just when you think the collective mania of this gaff can never be topped someone comes along to push the boundaries of what we all thought was possible.

Outrageous stuff. That's me done for today I think

BigGaz

He's agreed terms I know that much. As it looks like Ederson is off I am not sure we will complete Ortega as they want some continuity in the GK dept. They're trying to talk us down from 40m still. Phillips is in the conversation but as you can imagine the wages make it unappealing to us unless they...

BigGaz

Fwiw I would play ball with City. They've been very good to us and Its in our interests to stay on the right side of them for the sake of 5 million or whatever.

BigGaz

Does you contact who gave you info on Oscar bobb know anything about Trafford / Ortega? They do want him and are in for him strong, he will 100% end up at City now and quite soon but they don't want to pay 40m. They are trying to knock down the fee and give us a fairly solid loan or cut a cheap par...
