Re: Moving on: Forward March.

We are truly back in the realm of "Rose Tinters" (and Doom Mongers)....

But if TD can point me to where that set of stocks is in Kearsley, we might be able to put them to good use.

Re: Should I(E) stay or should I(E) go?

When there was a chunk of lead for "out," yesterday, my feeling was it sort of doesn't matter, which ever way you look at it there's still a significant "out" proportion, it's not one or two not reets, I think the same today, even though the count has changed on here. Interesting on WW that with nea...

Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread

I think yesterday, crystallized a few things in my mind around what needs to change. Formation, I'm pretty ambivalent on. Any formation can probably work in this Division, for the purposes of getting out of it. I don't have anything against 3-5-2 (or whatever spin-off), but I like to watch a game th...

Re: Should I(E) stay or should I(E) go?

Yeah, if they don't make you wanna vomit, that probably helps, but we're a football team, not a dating app. I have my reasons for not liking some people in football. Alex Neil, Danny Murphy and others. I'd not want them associated with my football club and I'll leave it at that. You're entitled to ...

Got the Oxford chant in the I don't give a shit, bucket. Whether folks personally think it was better or worse v Stoke or Boro is likely to depend on their own circumstances.

Re: Should I(E) stay or should I(E) go?

That would do. I don't want to be his bezzie. I can’t think of many managers we’ve had who I’d like ‘outside of their job’ in my estimation. Bruce for sure. Parky who is a top bloke and seems pretty much normal. The rest I struggle with. But their job is to improve our Saturday moods not take us ou...

The current one is also not very likeable and wins lots of football matches.
Aye, just not enough of 'em. I don't want to be his bezzie either!

Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread

The rumoured (and I stress rumoured) wages/bonuses to get these lads in through the door early at Rotherham are a bit eyewatering at this level. If there's any agent with a player who might fit they're walking barefoot to Rotherham if needed. Suppose we should be happy they're looking for different...

Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread

Joe Rafferty joins JCH at Rotherham. Steve Evans and two experienced, quality players. Insane may need to switch clubs at this rate. Well, if we can get a good fee for him, clearly it might be good for all parties :mrgreen: We might get a few more quid, shunting a few to Arsenal rather than Rotherh...

Re: Should I(E) stay or should I(E) go?

The thing about continuity is it's ultimately a solid business decision. Radical change is expensive. We've made investments with a projected return. We will have a limited budget this summer. Obviously not going up costs us money every season, but cash is currently the issue. Continuity of a thing...

Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread

I'd be happy with Ashworth in a back 4. If we're looking to sign him to play in a 5 I'm officially worried. Good player, lots of headroom but never a wing back. In fact I'm convincing myself we are have to him as part of the third great formational re-set. Is Iredale under contract? You'd think he'...

I suspect not, but quite a lot of today's posts have made a strong set of arguments that then point to stick with broad approach, system etc. As being the main viable option and go for (wait for it.....). The better Plan A. I suspect plenty are a bit doubtful (in part for me, because I'm not sure 4 ...

You're not selling me on the vision here, Ghost! 🤣🤣 I know, I know :lol: He's had three proper jobs. Absolutely excelled in two and made real mistakes in the third.

Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread

On Ogbeta, if you tell me he's effectively number 2, he's young and I assume they think coachable, I'm sorta ok (albeit he seems much more LW than WB). Undoubtedly games where the defensive side might be less paramount where he can get game time... I'm generally happy with Randall, but he looks lik...

Out of interest, Ghost, who would top your list of replacement managers?
My appointment would be really unpopular.

I'd like to see the following: Improvement on backup keeper. He got better over time, but I don't trust him if Baxter is out for more than the odd game. A couple of wing backs that aren't half arsed in defence, whilst offering something going forward. 2 midfielders. 1 that will get about and help T...

Re: Should I(E) stay or should I(E) go?

The bottom line isn't in the details, I suspect, for many fans (even though it's a game of opinions). We go up this season by either route and this conversation is probably, pretty much sidelined. Given we didn't and will now be moving to our 4th L1 season, it's more of a problem. I don't like this ...
