Sadly Taffy passed away this afternoon, he passed peacefully after an unexpected illness.

Such sad news, R.I.P Taffy, brilliant player in his day, 71 no age to be leave this world 🥲

Pfa only cover a fraction of operations or treatment . I believe there’s a pot of approximately £12k as my relative was told would be available to him. You have to send all the info into the pfa for them to access. The money can be used for consultations, x-rays, operations and after care. My relat...

Former Claret Steven Hewitt, now of Nantwich Town has ruptured his ACL, necessitating knee reconstruction surgery estimated at £9,540. The injury significantly impacts his ability to work and as a self-employed individual, he faces at least 14 weeks of recovery, during which he will be unable to ea...

Yeah I realised my typo mistake right away. 😂. Any idea as to why we ditched the ISF and jumped in MUD? Seems strange to change a strategy that clearly worked for us the previous summer. The cost probably it’s charged by subscription. Obviously MUD was a cheaper option that and the saving in employ...

I said it a while ago.

...on MOTD "From a defensive point of view, Burnley are miles off." Can't really disagree. Well I think he was spot on! Burnley’s problems have always been defending in the box, and the amount of goals scored against them from headers confirms this. But now it seems they also have issues in both bo...

I do wonder why Dyche in conjuction with the old board found it so difficult to set up an overseas recruitment network. Matt Williams talks about scouring leagues all over the world there, in 10 years under Dyche we were never able to acheve that, what was stopping us? I know for a fact that under ...

No it doesn’t, under contract so they pay his wages.

I think the answer is no.

Best footballer on display? Are you serious? He was not fit to play because of drink and came on as a sub with 8 minutes to go. Hedman made two saves from two free kicks, that hardly makes it a world class performance. Gascoigne was an embarrassment at Burnley and we didn’t benefit one iota for him...

The set piece coach is some lad he brought from Anderlecht who's got a sport science degree and slowly come through Anderlecht's backroom setup.

No, they are responsible for both areas. And they employ 2 of them!

Analytics are of course extremely important in football, but they're not the whole story, are they? Look at Jude Bellingham. No way did a data model tell us he's the next Kaka (arguably better). That's old school Ancelotti with his nous and experience seeing something that noone else saw. Football'...

They still watch players quite extensively. It’s not just relying on data. Recruitment analysts spend most of their time watching extensive footage of the player, either live or recorded. Kompany himself went to watch many players last season and was seen in crowds. But it’s just a fact that the to...

No doubt our set piece coach is being well paid. I would like to think VK will haul him in the office as our defending AGAIN last night was inexcusable.

I don't know what we used before last season but there was always an army of staff up at the back of the Longside analysing on a match day, usually the U21/23 coach would be there with them with direct access to the bench.

Several more positions to be filled in the academy yet which are essential if we would ever wish to return to Cat1. Doesn’t look like the club are seriously considering this with the present set up of people having joint roles.

Strange one. I was given his Name weeks ago and have been constantly checking to see if he had left Shrewsbury but he’s now listed by them as a first team coach.

There are set fees they must pay for kids and if you have a higher academy you get more for them. I do take your point that they get if they want.

Another important position that needs to be filled with the right person. A coach to oversee and coach the coaches in the academy.

Big difference is that higher level academies can poach players from lower level academies for low fees. Also some differences in how far you are allowed to cast your net. Another difference is staffing levels, each member of staff can only have 1 title snd only do one job whereas Cat2 and below me...
