Dealing with financial difficulty, David Moyes
AyeDubbleYoo replied to timnufc22's topic in Football
That's the key, but the difficult thing is - how do you know when someone should be given time and will turn it around, and when they're just shit? -
In a related question, how come all our celebrity fans are freaks? Actually, Gabby was probably the most normal one :-[

We've still got that horseracing bloke, don't worry.
-
I don't rate her TBH.

Have a quick scroll up to the top and see that 80% of people on here don't think that NUSC reflects their views. They've got a tough job on now because their start has been so monumentally awful so far.

To be fair, bringing in youngsters is the easy bit. Well we've never managed to do much of it before. we have,we've always had academy teams,youth teams etc, some have even included foreign talent, pinas,kiedel but either we were identifying kids who werent good enough or we were crap at improving them (my opinion is a bit of both) Well fine, maybe I should have said we never did it very well before... or it never produced any decent players. Obviously we'll have to wait and see what happens with the current lot, but I'm encouraged by what I've seen so far.

In case there's anyone out there who still doesn't understand...

I've actually got a decent example to back up the lower leagues thing. My missus was teaching at a school in Southampton the year after they'd got relegated. They all went to St Mary's every home game with their dads, but they also called themselves 'Chelsea/ManU/Arsenal and Southampton supporters'. I don't reckon they'd have been spending so much time at St Mays if they had the option of watching a 'big' premiership game instead every week. I've got rid of Sky as well Gol, had it at uni (bill split between 6 didn't seem so much...) but now I'm living with the missus I'll go to the pub if there's a game I want to see. Means I enjoy the games I watch a lot more, and don't find myself watching rubbish I'm not interested in. I'll miss the cricket coverage more. Interesting, I definitely wouldn't get Sky until it is properly customisable and I don't have to take loads of stuff I don't want. -

Tuesday's press conference should be interesting... "Which one of you is Simon Bird?"... Think we know the rest! -
Don't think it makes any difference whatsoever.

I've always wondered what would happen to crowds if 3pm games were on TV... maybe Mowen is right it might affect the lower leagues more. But 'the market' seems to decide everything else, if people would rather watch the game at home then maybe they should be allowed to? -
True love is unconditional, yes we're all depressed but that piece is just unneccesary.

Kuwaiti billionaires line up £500m bid for Liverpool
AyeDubbleYoo replied to Fenham Mag's topic in Football
Can you give us any reason why they wont be any better than Ashley ,The Al-Kharafi family wealth estimated at 9.6 billion dollars seems like a no brainer to me bonny lad . Nice and patronising, cheers. I can't really give a reason, no, other than I don't know anything about them or what their plans for the club would be. At the moment it seems like people would sell the club to Mugabe Holdings Ltd if it meant Ashley would leave. -
Stupid thing is that this is what we were told their job was in the first place but then it seems that they started pricking about with the first XI. Being honest and showing clarity at the beginning could have saved a whole lot of fuss really. Yeah, fair enough, I still don't know whether Wise had as much to do with first team matters as everyone says though. People just seem to have scapegoated him because he's cockney and a complete tosser of a man... don't know how much he's actually done wrong.
-
Absolutely, we need to be getting some real premiership players into the middle of the park, that will make all the difference.
-
"jet-heeled" - Pleased with this one, got a feeling it could turn out to be a shrewd move.

The main point is that everything should be done to protect the matchday experience and make sure people actually go the games. Football played in a half-empty stadium is so much worse off, just look at Boro. They could also make Sky Sports subscriptions more flexible, I would be willing to get it if I could pick and choose what I wanted, but I'm not paying £40 a month for a load of stuff I'll never watch. -

AyeDubbleYoo replied to Fenham Mag's topic in Football
Does anyone know anything about these people to suggest they would be good for the club? Remember we thought Ashley was going to turn things around when he came in. -
Aye, but everyone in the squad doesn't need to be Zidane.
-
Spot on indi, I can't believe that anyone at the top of NUSC thinks they have a snowball's chance in hell of Ashley talking to them.
-
You're right, he could well turn into exactly the kind of player we're trying to get rid of... Duff, Smith, Geremi etc. I wouldn’t quite compare him to Smith, or Geremi like! I don't think he's a bad player at all, just pointing out for the fee, wages and age he is it's exactly the kind of deal we need to avoid.
-
It is a sad day when the player with the best technique in the squad is fucking Geremi. Even our better players are shit techinically. We're lacking creativity and outstanding technical ability, but we do have a number of players I would say are 'quality'. If you're just talking about technical ability with the ball (i.e. Solano) then I agree we're short.
