I would argue the likes of Tresor, Odobert potentially even Amdouni certainly haven’t lived up to there fees so far. Odobert- 161 mins of league football Tresor - 224 Amdouni - 823 All playing in a new country/league All need time to settle They’ve all got the ability to justify their fees, once se...

We'll have to disagree. The only player we paid a low price for was Koloesho, who is probably (at this stage) our joint most successful signing along with Berge, who we probably paid around market value for. I don't think it's unfair to suggest there is more risk attached to a few other signings we...

I agree with you. We do seem to be overloaded though with similar type players, however much they cost.

Attacking players tend to sell for more than defensive ones

We can't use Chris Wood's transfer as a yardstick. Newcastle clearly only bought him to try and dent our chances of survival. Yes we can He was shocking during his final half season here, we all know it Yet we made a profit on him and it ended up being a good sale because he’s still shocking now

GodIsADeeJay81

I get what you're saying and it's still far too early to be writing any of these lads off, but the one issue I think we might have is that we paid a very high price for a lot of these players, and that inevitably comes with more risk attached if they don't work out. Koleosho is obviously the except...

I mean - we already are a bit. Wanting multi club ownership, massive packed out squad, happy to chop and change every season with large swathes of transfers. Add a manager merry go round and we’re the new Watford! Every season? We needed a full rebuild of the squad last season Then we needed to add...

When we went down last we probably owed on Weghorst and Cornet and sold players for a decent return. To go down now we’d still owe on pretty much everyone that came in, now you’re saying we can simply sell them - we’re still going to have to replace any that we sell. It’s kicking the can down the r...

Ramsey hasn't been fit since day 1, has had strapping on some part of he's leg every appeance.

He’s still fitter than benny and has made more appearances etc

That was my point
Why risk benny when he’s barely been back a week or so?

They are probably thinking two things. Firstly, can we survive in the Premier League? Answer: doubtful. Secondly, can we service the level of debt and borrowing if we are relegated? Answer: with difficulty. When we got relegated last time they made it clear that the debts weren’t an issue If we go ...

Spot on re subs but more concerning is why Benny isn't playing and why Ramsay was considered a good idea instead of Obafemi? Benny has had a hamstring injury He’s only just come back into the squad Ramsey and benny play in different positions Ramsey is most likely fitter than Benny, so less of a ri...

No I said they would go. I doubt any would be signed by prem clubs. Potentially foster but that’s it. The rest will likely disappear to France, Netherlands, Belgium, a few perhaps to Turkey or Saudi.

No one knew we’d be this toss, but both the players and managers are new to this league

In regards to the sheff utd game, it is a game we need to win, but we’ve had other games we need to win

The problem is we’ve got a soft underbelly, no real grit in the team

11 defeats in 13 games… 4 points in total.. If that kind of utter shambles of a return doesn’t warrant the sack then nothing will in your eyes. His time is up for me now.

Not at all, but I feel there is one thing bemoaning the fact that your players don't get enough minutes but another thing actively coming out and saying "I will be influencing transfers".

Until city and Chelsea have been found guilty, then nobody can sue them

He was banned from the greater Manchester area whilst on bail
He couldn’t train/play for City as a result

City will probably use that angle to ensure they win this

Both sides could probably reach an agreement somewhere in the middle to make this go away

Simon Jordan reckons there's zero chance of any clubs being able make a claim from Everton, we will have to wait and see.

I like Jordan and he’s usually worth a listen, but it’s worth remembering that he was adamant we’d be knackered after relegation so he can be wrong about stuff

Increased security costs, so he raised prices for away fans
Wrexham then lowered prices
Wrexham also live streamed the game I’ve read and Accy didn’t benefit from that financially

It’s all a bit handbags but Holt is getting some undeserved stick I think

Question. Did she display the badge?

Doesn’t matter
To prove a contravention occurred, the parking firm must have proof that there was no blue badge on display, or if it was, it was displayed incorrectly

Without that proof, they can’t prove the contravention occurred or enforce the fine

GodIsADeeJay81

Leeds didn’t go down that season so it should be just us. Everton were only 4 points ahead of us with a worse goal difference so even a 4 point deduction that season and they would have gone down.
