Hard to argue with that in it’s current state of play. Though I’m sure some will try and put a rainbow on top of it.

Be great if Lincoln go up as Blackpool will be another tough team in their way next year.

They hate all their owners, all their managers and all their players. Thru simply cannot work out the 1 thing that links all of them and what the real issue is.

He was the young French lads choice before the club officially transferred ownership, so he'll probably stick with him. If not them bowing to fans pressure already is a big mistake as all they'll do is keep hounding managers every time things don't go their way. He should take note of the fans after the SF. This is them and what they are about. Expect more of it. Johnson isn't great, but if they throw enough money at next season they'll go up regardless. They'll overspend trying to attract and he'll not care about where it leaves them. It could go totally tits up and the kid quickly loses interest and stops funding their dream. Soon as he asks them to do their bit and stick their hand in their pocket to keep the club going, that's when he'll realise he's bought a club that can support itself. By then it's too late and they are bleeding money.

Think a couple of big sales makes it read like that, but the money was poorly spent and saddled them with a large wage bill.

Yup. Used the clubs own money to buy the club. Total chance.

Spent a fortune doing so leaving them in the shit for years to come. Habe a look around the BC forums, not a good word to be said about him. Also only got the job coz of family connections. Or just check rtg for the BC fans saying told you so. Called out all his David Brent BS and how he'd tinker away just hoping to stumble on a winning formula. Doesn't know how to grt out of a winless run. Reminds me a lot of pardews time here which to the outside man was successful.

He's far from a solid championship manager.

French kid knows has to invest or the fans will be on him from the off. Hell make mistakes, some expensive ones which may not coming to fruition for some time, but the quality thry bring in will at least be enough to see them stand still. Whether thry move forward at the rate their fans will demand we will have to see.

More boumsong than van dijk.

Alll owed and paid to Ellis Short.

To get rid of him they doubled the length of his remaining contact to half his wages. This is the last year.

In other news. Just the 1 more year of paying Cattermole. Final £1m. I know how they feels, I pay my student loan off in the next year as well.

The Irish Messi is 35 now. Even at T3 level that's getting on. Not seen him play in ages but I'd imagine his legs are drinking in the last chance saloon.

Looks more like a rota at your local mcdonalds than a professional squad list.

Might be a case say he wants 4 central mids, but all are in form and fit. No need to really cast his eyes over that. He's looking a bit further forward and he's got 2 squad positions to fill but 5 players who could do the job. 2 are coming back from injury, 1 is suspect quality and the other 2 out of form. You'd take them all in the provisional squad and cut the 3 which aren't showing enough. The 4 central mids chose themselves, but throughout the squad looked unbalanced. Unless i;ve got this wrong and there isn't a cut coming. Usually there is but Covid may have changed that?

I've just seen far too many NT tournies where we take out of form or coming back from injury players expecting it to suddenly change and for them to produce fuck all. Even more so when the player isn't too tier, thry have even further to come back from. Take the fittest and in form, forget the names and reputations and if you are neither a name or in form then you're watching it on the tele like everyone else.

Isn’t Maddison that out of form he’s classed as the weak link in the Leicester team?

cock

Hopefully that the 1st and last time I see peng used on this forum, ironic or not.

Eh? It’s all about recognition with Bruce. He feels the manager should get the plaudits they deserve for turning around the season and finishing safely. He’s right and that’s happened; Jones has been called up to the England setup. He will be fucking foaming. Two for Tuesday, twice, tonight for Steve.

Bet hope is itching to post something to Alex asking if his dads invitation has landed in the mail.

Don't think I'm ready for this or even want it. Anyone else the same. Bet that's not the case England vs Scotland Friday night in a bar with fuck all social distancing going on.

Finished ahead of the mighty Wolves. Nuno should be ashamed.

I do wonder what kind of player they'll attract in the summer. It might not be as straight forward as they think now they apparently have money. For a start agents will be seeing them as a cash cow, especially in the current climate, but apart from money there really is nothing else to attract a potential player to them over several other L1 teams. Charlton, Ipswich & Portsmouth are stand out teams who will rival them for players and in terms of location have an advantage. Sheff Wed will be the team any decent free will want to go to and of course the better frees will head to the bottom tier of Championship clubs. They need a massive overhaul and they do have an advantage of being able to clear the decks meaning they don't have the worry of paying off players like they have previously. Mind, they still have 1 year left of paying Cattermole, Christ. But they will need to settle a new team very quickly as to not lose ground on the automatic promotion capable teams and there still may be doubts over their manager for the next few weeks depending if they bottle sacking Johnson
