Spending is no Guarantee of progression...not in this league. Having said that, the squad is woefully thin of "real " talent. buying squad players isn't going to significantly improve our chances of nicking results at the, say Stokes or West Broms. We struggled against some shite teams last season but this Level is a whole different ball game. I can just see us struggling to score goals...again, resulting in more arse twitching next April / May

Just received the shirt a day early. I thought they weren't shipping them till tomorrow?

Is thing on sale yet? There`s nowt on the club website & the link posted comes up with the of kit.

On e of the main criticisms of Carr when he was here was that he "missed" often as well as he "hit" in terms of incoming quality. The counter argument being that Ashley /Charnley got cheap & settled for second /third targets rather than those identified by Carr as a priority, so to speak. Assuming the current inertia to be a result of the same mindset, I would imagine the current rumors would almost certainly be on the money. Its almost like f***ing groundhog day with this lot man. If they force Rafa out (& almost certainly Employ another Pardue-esqe patsy) I`m out.

lucky b******. "Last season, the Brazilian centre-back Anderson Conceicao made headlines when he revealed that former Real Mallorca manager Joaquin Caparros used pornography to try and motivate his players before a La Liga game against Athletic Bilbao. “In the team talk ahead of the game Caparros showed us a video with images from a porn film. We were shocked, we didn't understand anything of what we were watching. “He told us: ‘On the pitch, you need to play as hard as this guy’, and he pointed at the screen.”" [emoji23]

....Should he ever sign for us he`d be hamstrung within 3 games of the season

Grealish Next through the door then?

It was all awash with scaffold iirc. Heady days indeed

Pressure off, shackles off...I reckon we`ll rout them

This`ll be a Lawyer wankfest

Do you really think so? Unless we get an actual transfer bad I doubt anyone in football will give it a second thought. If you were Ashley, would you gamble on any kind of tangible investment without knowing the likely implications of any impeding litigation? A quick outcome (Probably unlikely given the apparent size of the investigation) would be massively beneficial I`m just hoping I wake up, its Tuesday morning & I decide to take the day off & enjoy last night!

It will be into next year before owt is decided - court, appeals, etc. Only real winners will be the lawyers. Ironic if this is the way Ashley's hand is forced on a massive transfer splurge, the fear of an impending transfer ban (assuming we're promoted and no other sanctions take place) ...Or he decides to stick in fear of a demotion (& being lumbered with a massive wage bill in league 1 etc.)

Regardless of the ultimate outcome, thing will hang over the club like a bad smell & be damaging to all aspects of the club from recruiting playing staff to potential to increase revenue streams. I would imagine the suits at the FA are polishing their hobnails waiting to weigh into us as well. There must be a lot of arse twitching in a lot of clubs this morning.

...Whist in league 1

Charnley arrested!!! Potential points reduction therefore not out the question

Maye not promoted if what I just read on Twatter is right!!!

My word...what a weapon

The best day this year & we haven't even fucking played[emoji51]

With all the cock footballers around these days its seems tragically unfair for one of the nice guys to be taken so young

This 100%

its 100:1 to survive, not go down man

Three of which are Chelsea Aresnal & Man U!!!

I hope Moyes & his immediate family burn in hell for this. I haven't slept for three days

Harry Maguire sounds like he should have played for Burnleys 1914 FA Cup winning team. Oldest sounding player in the world. Along with Harry Winks who sounds like a WW2 fighter ace One letter away from a serial onanist

Goes to illustrate how unbelievable it was that Partridge was allowed to remain as our manager for as long as he did. ..& the cunt still never got sacked as well!
