Re: MATCHWATCH : West Ham United U21

How do you work that out ? Surely 3 teams can finish on 6 points. West Ham beat Swindon and Swindon beat MK Dons then if will be on GD Yea thanks, can`t see that hammers team beating Swindon. I can't either, but I don't know if Swindon deliberately played stronger side against us than they would fo...

Re: Rumour - Gareth Ainsworth

Robbie Savage is actually a really good shout!! The guy was a great professional footballer who is well regarded and a bit of a tough guy so would command respect. He also seems to be an all-round good likeable person and at Macclesfield the players loved him, yes, he is only a baby in terms of his...

Esteban The squad is better than 21st in the league.


Anybody can play fantasy football based on data. Real life is very different. Everybody else was able to do their transfer business earlier. Building a team from what's left. Was always going to require a degree of luck. No preseason to gel either.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Swindon Town (a)

Swindon were 92nd at one point in the football league last season. The transformation underway with Holloway is what all football fans dream of. Worth noting that Swindon also finished the game without a centre half/centre back. Three fullbacks aged 19, 20 and 21. Not just big chequebooks that matter.

Re: Show me the money

Your wage bill is the main determinate of the quality of your squad in L1, not transfer budget. Sheffield Wednesday had the 4th lowest wage in the Championship in 23/24 season - £22.3 million . When the owner runs out of readies as hasn't hit the big time payout. The disintegration of the club star...

Re: The phoenix club thread

Any Pheonix Club will have to start small.... I once worked out that a Sunday pub team is 12 promotions and sh*t loads of money and luck away from winning the Premier League. So, to begin with we need to form a team ourselves made up of fans. I actually think this is the ultimate challenge and achi...

Selles must be mentally drained. Why stay in a job where it's little more than treading water. I'm sure another club would happily pay compensation.

Re: How hard is running a football club?

Say that one of us won £100m on Euromillions, the Couhig deals falls through and it's a case of us buying the club or it going bankrupt. Even out of administration you have to spend something like £30m to buy the club, stadium and training ground. You're then presented with the current running cost...

Re: How hard is running a football club?

The amounts of money involved these days has fundamentally changed the sport. I know a lot of people that have turned their backs on the higher leagues. Returned to grass roots where clubs are an integral part of the community 24/7. Not just 23 match days a year. Far cheaper to watch as well.

Re: 2024/25 Expectations

It’s so opaque at the moment but even if we got a deal over the line tomorrow pre-season has probably been somewhat compromised. We’ve got to be on the back foot before we’ve even started, so a rough start has got to be expected. I reckon we’re in trouble at Christmas but fairly comfortably 15th by...

Why would Dai pull money out of a club he's personally funding. Illogical to suggest he would.

Re: Olise

£5 - £6 million over 5 years is small change given football finances today. Not enough to transform the club's fortunes overnight.
