Another excellent podcast today guys, thanks.

I thought the alternative view that the Bellamy post match interview is perhaps an insight into what’s going wrong on the pitch and the mentality of the players was really interesting. Almost a suggestion of woke management style?

He’s not from the US.

Didn’t say he was

any little thing that goes towards us trying to achieve some sort of success should be valued yet it's met with 'sounds like a prick' Backwards So you agree we are an “underdog story” whilst eulogising about our “history “. Let’s see if he’s still “excited” in 5 years time. I don’t agree that this ...

Some guy called Eugene Kan is one of our new owners apparently?

Ilkley claret

A great listen thanks guys.

At least Kieran didn’t add to our growing tally of red cards!

Btw I am an accountant! So won’t be buying the tee shirt!

Berge and Oddobert are likely to be sold, so does that change the views on keeping Brownhill and JBG.

A Championship campaign needs experienced players.

A learning curve suggests an upwards trend, as the team learns.

This season feels more like a learning plateau.

More like an inverted yield curve for our American owners

What’s unforgivable for me is the two very winnable games Wolves and Everton today, he tinkers with a a winning system and players several players out of position.

VK has to take responsibility for the last two games which could have saved our season.

Ilkley claret

If we want to stay up these are the games that we have to go and get something.

Ilkley claret

Why are Villa fans booing Grealish? Joined them at 6 year old, lifelong fan, got them promoted and net profit of £100m!! Pathetic fans

Ilkley claret

Our players were dead on their feet because of lack of subs by VK.

More time would not have helped us

Ilkley claret

There's a reason we are all sat in the stand and he is paid so much to be in the dugout. Frustrating as it was, he will have had his readons and I'll back his judgement. VK has got a lot wrong this season and it’s why we will get relegated. He’s trying to deflect and blame the refs but I’d have mor...

Ilkley claret

Think VK got this horribly wrong tonight and was too worried about the opposition.

Wilson on the wing, Foster central and we win the game.

Play to our strengths

Ilkley claret

Thought he handled that really well and impressed with his analysis of the overall situation we find ourselves in.

She also said Fofana scuffed his shot when he scored?

Benchmark Points deduction has now been set at 6 following Everton appeal.

Luton could get 6 deducted and takes them to 18

Everton could get a further 6 which takes them to 19

Was the wicket keeper Gordon Allison? He was in the school year above me.

Yes that’s him!

Get yourself to a West Yorkshire Clarets gathering. You’d be very welcome. UTC

Yes must admit I have followed where you lot meet up. You were in central Leeds no long back and I was planning on popping in but something came up. I can usually be found in The Hermit.

Apologies mis read your post!

Hello Ilkley Claret from another claret in Ilkley. If you see a little chap wandering around town / Tescos in a 70s 'V' ski hat... it's me! Will keep an eye out but given you are in your 70s shouldn’t you be shopping in Booths or M&S! 😂 That’s where I go! Plenty of clarets I’ve come across in Ilkle...

Strong parallels between Louis and VK

Loved at first but made bad decisions and ultimately was disposed in Jan 1793.

Louis was also reluctant to change

Tax planning

Gross spend however is 154m which is the most worrying

Net spend for last 2 seasons is 74m per transfer market.

Liverpool are a footballing team, so to lose against them with 3 headed goals speaks volumes about our inability to defend our six yard box

These two questions are somewhat related. The only reliable way we have of describing the universe in a way that makes any logical sense is by describing it mathematically. Our human intuition gets in the way of this ever making clear sense to us (even to physicists) because the word "space" is a n...

Was always Marmite with people who met Frank Teasdale. I’ve been told before his health suffered when things went pear shaped, with worry but put up a fronts that upset a lot of people. He had “so called “ fans deliberately block up his gas flu outside his home in an attempt to poison him! No wonde...

Ilkley claret

Just one final word - Barry Kilby wouldn't have been there had Bob Blakeborough and Clive Holt not gone to him without Frank Teasdale's knowledge. I really could say a lot more but I don't want to break any confidences. Whatever the origins, Frank acted in the best interests of the Club thereafter....

I'll end this because I know totally different to you - I certainly don't know about some of the stuff you know about but I think you are so far off track with the 'fully engaged with Barry' suggestion.

Let’s agree to disagree then!

Ilkley claret

I was brought in to review all the various offers. Several of them had very little, if any substance to them and it was Franks role as Chairman to only consider offers that had real merit. That’s what I saw him doing rather than being totally selfish. He fully engaged with Barry knowing he was a man...

Ilkley claret

Tony I’m not looking for an argument. I very much respect your knowledge and insight of the club. However on this particular period of time in our clubs history I was heavily involved and witnessed first hand the actions and behaviours of the key individuals.

Teasdale was not as bad as you make out

Ilkley claret

I stand by my view having been “in the room” and as the person who came up with the rights issue structure and deal between all parties.

Ilkley claret

How much did Teasdale pay for his shares? How much of his personal wealth did he invest? How much did he make from the sale? A rights issue is where the money goes into the club rather than shareholders pockets. Existing shareholders ( Frank, Clive etc)need to accept significant dilution to their p...

I think you would form a different opinion if you spoke to some of the other people directly involved.

Just my own opinion from being at the centre of all the discussions at the time.

I’m the history of the Club, Teasdale doesn’t get the credit he deserves

Ilkley claret

As the person who ran the whole rights issue I had an intimate insight into how the Board, Ingelby and Barry interacted during the whole process for several months before and years after As a lifelong Clarets fan I gained immense respect for both Frank and Barry. Ingleby also stepped up when asked t...

I agree the mood has changed. For the first time yesterday I sensed definite negativity creeping in to the crowd, however I think this was partly to do with Dyche being the opposition manager.

They won’t let you keep the bottle top for your Diet Coke, when I asked why, they said in case you throw it on the pitch!

They fail to spot that you could of course throw the bottle if you were that way inclined!
