Ramsdale… Can picture the fume in here already

Our recent windows have freed up money for a few decent fees but for the established players that elevate instantly there will always be issues competing with wages for the foreseeable future. We’d need to make top 5 year in out for a while which will be difficult.

If it’s any crumb of comfort we might have a few more Sunday games with being in Europe. Not loads though with it being UCL.

Villa and Everton own the land their grounds currently built on perhaps? NUFC don’t 🤷🏼‍♂️

Tricky one in your situation. Personally I’ve sacrificed career and salary my entire life so I’m never in a position where I can’t go to a game when I want to. You might actually be better off paying more for the Mags+ and for the extra £10 I believe you get better/more regular discount of merchandise I think so over the 12 months you’d claw it back at least if your into your NUFC clothing etc. Until capacity increases I can’t see any other benefit for you if only applying a couple of times a year as your chances are slim even having 19 attempts. There’s a membership discussion/workshop in the next few weeks involving fans similar to yourself feeling underwhelmed so hopefully some positive change might happen in time for 25/26. It be nice if even a dozen away tickets were put in a members ballot even. If they improve the identification process for members. The club is trying to grow its domestic and international fan clubs so I wouldn’t get hung up on seeing a few Italian fans at a game together as a negative.

It is but with the club stating success rate was to be expected at % (can’t remember % but whatever 2-3 games is from a full season) then if you’ve had no joy all season going into the last week/chance of the season I’d of rang the box office to highlight this… You never know what odd pity ticket they might have lying around on occasions. The last thing they’ll want is people being able to confirm they are 0/19 in the league and 0/whatever home cup games we got. They’d want to at least guarantee 1 IMO. However looking at @gdm @Novocastrian replies they’ve only put in for a couple of ballots which explains why they’ve had 0% success so in that case the box office have no case to answer.

Not as quick as Vardy…

Thought you were joking the first time you mentioned it. You can’t take someone back that’s been plotting behind your back. I know it’s a grown up world but in footballing terms that’s a line you can’t cross.

Thomas Spring.

Exactly. Two very different things. However people just hear what they want to hear at times

Our stadium is falling to bits and only two thirds the size of it. Their next one will be twice the size. We’ve not looked like winning the league for 20+ years. Wages for average players just an added attraction rather than a negative from a players perspective. Not sure how invested majority of players are in coaches. Our owners are hated in a different way worldwide. As much as I don’t like anyone losing their jobs it does sound like a cull was needed when you’ve body language experts on £175kpy! Yet they still nearly won a European trophy after winning a domestic cup in each of their last two seasons. I do hear your points and obviously they are nowhere where they were. However let’s not forget where we were less than 4 years ago. Will take a while before perceptions change.

Also… Man Utd not in that much of a mess.

Hopefully a reminder to some how difficult this window will be regardless of funds and UCL.

Just a crumb of comfort for all those wetting the bed in here and putting 2+2=5. I seem to recall similar assessments and predictions and criticisms going into the last season in particular a bizarre lack of trust in EH. Didn’t turn out too bad did it

Think you are picking that up the wrong way personally speaking. PIF and how they function/act in most things are notoriously diligent so not known for their speed. Probably something they’ve learned in their short time in football and EH putting out a reminder how quickly you need to act in certain cases. Don’t think it was aimed at PM directly. EH probably aware that he was probably going to depart along with Eales shortly so good time to clear the decks. I honestly don’t think there is much drama to see here at all. Especially when you put the two statements together 🤷🏼‍♂️

Achievements this season still sinking in. Only now just looked at the table and how close it was Predicted we’d get 18 points from our last 9 games feeling we’d be a point short. Done it with 16 and GD. Go back to what I said about Villa away. Get a point there would’ve made things look and feel completely different going into the last couple of games. Hopefully the fans can see how hard at times to play relaxed when the pressure is really on. Our last 3+ game end of season record not been the best. That obviously applies to the other teams with things to play for. Would loved to of seen if there was much difference come end of season if we hadn’t lost Howe in that crucial period. It really was only that Villa game they could’ve improved their result. Passport expires before end of year so will need to sort that out. Well done NUFC. What a 24/25 season 👏

Thats not managing. Thats the Souness methodology of management. Doesn’t get you anywhere falling out with your best players as we found out quite swiftly…

Wasn’t really the purpose of the question though HBA ‘s flaws are well documented so we don’t need to go over them. I just would love to of seen how EH would’ve managed him because as we all know if he could be managed we’d be unlocking defences a lot easier than we currently are…

There was no clear route. You clearly are incapable of putting yourself in the drivers position whilst also witnessing the video that started events leading into the bad looking one and ultimately the final one when car is stormed.

Probably thought he’d be badly attacked or worse. Your keep point is the rationale and the likelihood he didn’t have one at that stage. Just hope no one is seriously hurt once the dust settles 🤞🏻

He was sat with his engine running. Then his car started to get attacked. Then it was damaged at the rear so he reversed to fend off the attacker. Then went forward clearly scared at this point tooting his horn for people to clear then his windows are put out and that panics him into accelerating and head loss.

A reminder why NCC took time to plan before announcing our parade when people were whinging thinking they weren’t going to bother doing one.

Seen them all. The one just above though is the crucial one as it was the trigger. His car was attacked for no reason and it escalated. You don’t make rational decisions when you panic.
