The first 2 Godfather films are incredible. I actually think the second one is even better than the first. Godfather 3 received quite a lot of criticism but I liked it too. Unfortunately the bar had been set too high with the first 2 films so it was inevitable that many people make a comparison rath...

Did you think that before or after you pulled up another poster on their spelling ?
I won’t bother pointing out the number of mistakes in your last post. I don’t want to miss the Arsenal game at 8pm.

Of course that goes without saying but it’s do or die and we surrender points like that? So frustrating. Most reasonable fans will look at things over a a number of games rather than pick out the mistakes or games to suit an opinion they had already made. When you look at the period of time Muric h...

2 interesting facts about The Kierby 1. It was once the subject of a question on University Challenge in the picture round. I think it was called The Crest Hotel back then - long time ago back in the days of Bamber Gascoigne 2. The hotel porter had a horrible traumatic experience with a local lothar...

You're such a toxic poster, not because you pick your favourites but because you're so hypocritical about it. You have your favourites, wedded to your views, but then rip into anyone who's similar (or isn't but has different opinions to you). Calling other people snide when you come out with this i...

You don’t think he wanted two full backs? The board did not deliver them. No point speculating on why, just stick to the fact the board did not deliver. You need to look up the definition of ‘fact”…..you are making a massive assumption that it’s the board who did not deliver. Where is it you have g...

Which part is daft? He’s been forced into playing dross like Taylor at fullback in the PL because the board didn’t sign the players he wanted.

Who forced him to do that ?
£125m spend and he chose not to buy a new left back.
You seriously blaming the board ?
Did they not give him enough money ?

He’d do incredibly well at a side like Brighton, his coaching is made for better technical players.

Not easy getting some of our awful technical players to play football, you can lead a horse to water and all that…

A game last 90 mins how many games should we have been out of sight this season only to fall behind and go on to lose.Not saying we will stay up at all but our season remains alive for now I don’t know exactly- but I’d say very few games we should have been “out of sight” because there are very few...

Howe has had to show some sort of transparency because of all the off field antics which have been videoed and been going around which their lawyers will be dealing with, hence the firesale they tried in January and needing to get rid of 4 or 5 who have been upto stuff Kyle Walker would be proud of...

Big Vinny K

Let’s not pretend the score did not flatter us…please. First half we had plenty of possession but it was getting us absolutely nowhere for most of the first half. When our play broke down and Sheff United got the ball they made by far the better chances. Muric was brilliant yesterday but the chances...

You mean other than Howe confirming at the end of January that he will be out for a minimum of 6 weeks with a serious thigh injury ?

Big Vinny K

Clubs don't talk about injuries these days, it's the norm. Not another thing to moan about. Which clubs are you referring to ? Check the FPL website and you will see injury updates from virtually every premier league club and most of them are direct quotes or video clips from the weekly managers pr...

Relegation favourites next year the Championship is a hard league.VK totally underestimated the jump from Championship to Premier. The gap between all the leagues is now massive.

I love when fans suggest offering a player a coaching role. It happened with Barnes, Heaton the other day I think, and it's happened here. What makes Rodriguez a good coach? Is he interested in being a coach? Is he qualified? He said in the recent Ben Foster podcast interview that he had no interes...

Seemed a little bit too easy for the players this year. This stood out as the best tournament for how tough it was, but I'm not sure it gripped me this year. Maybe the players have played it so much, they can easily avoid the hazards? Quite the opposite of what you are saying to be honest. Friday w...

If Big Vinny K could post his analysis before I put my bets on the next major, it would be greatly appreciated! Well I’ll get in early then !!

Muric would (and probably will) go straight to number one in the blooper list unfortunately.
How can most of those be worse than yesterday when the opposition does not even have to do anything ?

Big Vinny K

Muric makes one mistake and he's docked almost the same amount of points as Everton, to those given Muric 3 or 4 FFS give your heads the biggest wobble ever.... CLUELESS He made the worst and most embarrassing goalkeeping mistake in the Premier League since 2002….that’s 22 years. This is a ratings ...

Big Vinny K

Right we all know muric made an error today, last week is not an error it’s unfortunate. It’s a very lazy view to not take into consideration all the positives muric has brought to the last 5 games. The last 5 games have resulted in our best form (as I said early not much to shout about) the games ...

It’s not using the sheff United keeper as a defence, he said wouldn’t see a premier league keeper make the same mistake when a current premier league keeper made the exact same mistake The last keeper to make an error like Muric did today in the Premier League was nearly 22 years ago. God only know...

Please stop trying so hard to defend the indefensible. It looks very silly. Exactly this. Who would use the Sheff United keeper as a defence - they are the only team who have been sh-itter than us !!

Backed Harman at 90s a couple of months ago. His odds came in after a great Players. Augusta suited to lefties.

How did we make 10m on Collins, wasn't it nearer the 2m mark ?

Thought we bought him for around £11m to £12m and sold him for just under £21m.
That’s the kind of numbers widely reported at the time.

Big Vinny K

Obviously this is all crystal ball stuff but I suspect the strategy would have been pretty similar even if they'd known we were going to be relegated. The issue hasn't really been that we're likely to be relegated, it's the nature of it. We've not seen a player really burst through and look like th...

If you look at the case of clubs where things have gone badly wrong in the past, it would suggest there are a number of red flags to watch out for: 1. Large loans/debt 2. Excessive transfer activity combined with poor results and running at a significant loss in transfer dealings. 3. Lack of transp...

Big Vinny K

to an extent yes - Factoring the Premier League money I understand, all promoted clubs do it (the Premier League rules are structured to promote the idea) but taking an additional £30m loan as well when you add those to sums to the 1st Premier League TV payment and have only £20.5m a few weeks late...

The accounts are to year end July 23.
But the first payment was made in the previous year so I agree it does not relate to JJ Watt.

Technically the Edwards family saw a return over 120 times the investment, but that was over a very long timespan (and multiple generations) - Dein possibly but again at an established big club, buying in at the right time.

I understand why fans don’t like it, but why are some people so surprised that investors/owners take money out of a club. It’s not as though they’re taking huge amounts.
Why else would they invest?

Not sure anyone is saying that regarding the £2.5m.

Big Vinny K

from what I see Garlick holds the record in terms of multiple of investment around 12 times from what I have been able to discern, though it would have been more but for the deal I mentioned to Pete up the thread - he will eventually be overtaken by the Glazer family Never seen such a list publishe...

My guess is that we may have brought some contracted stuff back in house (we may see a fall again depending how the catering staff are employed under the new contract).

Hi Ian, I don't think anyone has answered your question. The latest set of accounts very clearly state that none of the directors received any remuneration for their services. Equally, no dividends are being paid, so shareholders aren't taking any money out of the club. The accounts indicate that t...

I would be interested in who made a better return on their investment relative to what they risked - Garlick from Burnley or the much maligned Owen Oysten from Blackpool. I would guess the former. All above board I am sure. But if the sum total of a fan’s interest (the “we” that gets referred to) i...

On the flip side, he oversaw one of the most successful period's in our history, ran the club sustainably at his own financial risk, without regular remuneration, built up a healthy rainy day fund which would have subsidised a relegation and attempted return to the PL, and then sold his stake for m...

We wouldn't have because the players (for the 10,00000th time) have significant wage reductions in their contracts in the event of relegation.
