Alex Ouzounoglou moving to Man U. I met him years ago when we were funding heart monitors.

There can be little doubt that our club had progressed by leaps and bounds from 1998 and BK taking over. Yes we had blips but to end the 20teens with a successful Prem league club meant we must have got a lot correct.
The astonishing loss of staff since our new owners took over smacks of throwing the baby out with the bathwater and on the balance of probabilities things are going to get a lot worse before (if ever) they get better. It seems mind bogglingly stupid to have had such a clear out implying "we know better and can do better"
After all our new owners are steeped in the knowledge of the British games and perhaps to reverse a common saying "Brits are NOT Americans who speak with a strange accent?"
Oh Mr Garlick and others "What have you done?"

Am I right in thinking the list of departures at the bottom of the article is not fully complete ?

He's left to join Utd and you're trying to make the biggest deal out of this that you can.....

Still Blaming Garlick Still Blaming Brexit but happy we are going back to imperial measures

Pound to a penny you get pelters for that

Really happy to be proved wrong and ALK get us back to the big time within three seasons but if they don't......
The doubters will be shown correct and to see the likes of Mercer and Beattie shown the front door seems from the outside bizarre
Brexit-what is/was that? Another neologism perhaps with little substance?

Agreed, I will take that bet! 3 seasons to be back in the Premier League or else….

Haha. The people who think brexit is about imperial measurements are the Remainers.

[ClaretTony]

Far from complete.

Good move though for Ouzo, getting into a club the size of Man U.

[dandeclaret]

Good tune this.....

Are you prepared to do a £500 bet at evens for Charity.
Can’t say fairer than as I don’t see us getting back to PL within 3 seasons

[claptrappers_union]

ALK haven’t made one correct decision yet.

You seem to be totally against ALK (not saying you’re wrong). What’s feeding this negativity? Genuine question.

[Blakesboots]

I don’t bet money, I will agree to meet you for a coffee if I’m wrong.

[paulatky]

I don’t bet money, I will agree to meet you for a coffee if I’m wrong.

Surely you can make an exception,look at it as a donation to charity.

You seem to duck out of all the big calls.

As you are no doubt an American perhaps you have not heard of the phrase

“ Put your money where your mouth is”

You certainly seem to have a lot of mouth.

[paulatky]

I don’t bet money, I will agree to meet you for a coffee if I’m wrong.

I will look forward to that coffee in May 2023

I have heard it, no exceptions.

Great, we’ve a deal.

Really strange the animosity to this poster from a section of ‘fans’

[randomclaret2]

So , only a year till we find out who Blakes Boots is

I wouldn’t be banking on that coffee. Remember your last prediction that the majority of people would default on their mortgage due to covid?

[Darnhill Claret]

Not sure ‘Christ on a bike’ is an American expression!
Having read this thread could Blakesboots please tell me what he considers ‘the bet’ to be and will ‘paulatky’ then please confirm, or the other way round.
Too much wiggle room for my liking.

[paulatky]

I didn’t say the majority but a lot yes.
Just wait till interest rates rise later this year and see the effect it will have

Ironic

Potting Dyche was correct.

[AfloatinClaret]

Is that £1 to 1p or to 1d that you're offering?

[Bosscat]

No 1lb to a Pennyweight

Since he's accepted your wager.... which of you is going to fly to the other's country? The winner of the bet or the loser? Since he's undoubtedly an American. Of course it's possible he lives in the UK and is an American. But just curious.

[Lancasterclaret]

Pretty sure that internet stalking is an offence

[Blakesboots]

There is no bet.

Just an agreement that if we don’t return to the Premier League within 3 seasons then I will happily meet him for a coffee at Turf Moor.

I get nor want anything in return.

[Elbarad]

Ahh... my mistake I didn't realize the coffee meet up was at the Turf. It's just he was so sure you're an American I wondered who had to travel where to share the cup. But if it's at the Turf I guess he's assuming you'll be taking that transatlantic flight.

How will the conversation go:

You: oh well I was wrong

PaulAtky: Indeed

You: Shopping centre looks nice though - "The Pace Centre" - great name!

Paul Atky: Yes not bad

You: Cocktail and a bag of nachos

PaulAtky: Don't mind if I do.

Were Mercer and Beattie shown the door? Maybe they wanted to leave with Dyche, Woan and the others.
