Getting full-houses rely on getting sizable away fans on a regular basis. Can't see that happening too often so our attendances are never going to hit 50k+ imo.

Why on earth would they reduce prices if there's going to be 10,000 less people turning up? We need the money. Maybe these 10,000 missing punters are not willing to pay £35 for a game but would hand over £22 or something like that? I think if he slashes the prices for each matchday ticket the attendance wouldn't drop too much.

46 cup finals tbh.

Devastating news.

We have to be prepared to listen to any offers for any of the squad to be honest. As much as we value a player, they're only worth what someone else is prepared to pay for them. If, for example, Fulham come in for Martins with a £5m bid, even though it's only half what we gave for him, we're not really in any position to haggle. They're not going to take a pay-cut so we need to get them off the wage bill by accepting shit offers. That's the craic and we all knew it.

I'm guessing he's on a pretty decent wage seeing as he's been here for years and years. Maybe £25k a week or in that area. We simply can't afford to pay a goalkeeper that in the Championship. Especially considering we've got the Dutch Under 21 keeper on the bench. He's not a bad keeper but I don't think we can justify paying him what we currently do anymore. Get whatever we can for him and promote Krul.

He didn't pick up an injury which might have hampered him getting his move. Job done as far as he's concerned. Little wanker.

Fuck me.

Reading between the lines I thought he fancied the job but didn't want to say so. He acknowledged the fact the club needs to be ripped apart and rebuilt from top to bottom which in my opinion, was him telling Ashley he'd need complete control over the whole shooting match. Whether Ashley can let him have his head I'm not sure about. He's certainly our best hope of bouncing straight back though.

Stack 'em high, sell 'em low. Ashley's business policy may just mean our attendance doesn't suffer too much.

What the fuck has he said to them at half time? This is fucking dreadful.

This is it. Shit or bust. Lets have 100% from all concerned.

Now he'd get kicked to fuck every match.

His stupid mistakes wouldn't be punished as often as they are at the minute and he'd do ok. He's still not great but you need players like Taylor at the back to kick you out of the division.

Fucking hope not. Heard it from a few people actually. Probably shite like.

No, you should never bite. No matter how desperate they are to coax a bite out of you...

Coppell.

If we go down it won't really register til the fixtures come out for next season. Determined to still enjoy the games next year, come what may.

Just got a feeling there's one more twist to come in this abortion of a season. Draw keeping us up.

Offers virtually nothing anymore.

He has the motivation as he must realise it's his best chance of getting a decent move. A goal which saves a season is worth 10x your every day goal. Throw in Viduka too then tbh. They are both very much in the shop window and a vital goal could be worth millions to them personally. Coming to something when we're relying on our players to play well purely to earn themselves a move away from the club though.

The game is made for Owen to get a brace. Farewell appearance sealed with te 2 goals that saves us. Just got to hope the spineless little wanker gives a shit.

Very wise words from Bob Moncur. Sums up my feelings 100% “The mood in the city is nail-biting. Everyone was devastated by the home defeat to Fulham. I could tell in people’s voices that they were thinking, ‘I can’t believe this is happening.’ “I’ve seen it before, but there’s a generation who haven’t. I know what happens. No one is going to die. They might want to hang themselves, but after a couple of weeks they’ll look to next season.” We'll be fine. Keep believing.

FACKING DISGRACE.
