  1. We have had more than enough decent teams at home this season, I'm happy not to see any more for a few months please
  2. I was always under the impression the 'webberlution' partly included succession planning. The sacking of Farke seemed to contradict that, but we had always known when Webbers contract was ending so should have had a succession plan in place planned for months, with his new rolling contract they were given at least another whole year to plan. It seems to me that, just as we searched the whole of Europe to discover our next manager was our own youth coach in Adams, we will find the best man to replace Webber when he leaves just happens to be Adams Too!!
  3. You would also think if taking over a team in trouble the first thing you do is call and speak to the team captain and senior players. I don't know the truth, but I can't recall any other stories of Bassong causing trouble with any other clubs.. but there's a few cases of players being treated badly by the club over many years, and for whatever reason Adams seemed to lose trust and respect quickly
  4. Dyche was at Watford before, I think, maybe he could fancy a return. Although the owners short termism may put him off
  5. There are traditionally 92 professional clubs, at least 65 of those would love to be a yoyo club between prem and championship, we are fortunate in so many ways when you look at other clubs, like Oldham. We have regular success and seemingly stability and sustainability, but I don't think it's possible to yoyo forever, eventually you either get it right and stay up a few years or get it wrong and it could be 10 orc15 years before promotion, and that's assuming we don't go down again. Farkeball failed in the prem, but I thought we were addressing that in the championship to adapt farkeball with being more solid and better defensively which seemed to have worked, if you compare goals against I then title winning seasons. Yet, we seem to decide to go away from that.
  6. Seems as true as Norwich being the best team to be relegated last time.
  7. Recruitment has and always will be the most important part of a club. For some reason, I thought our new identity under Webber was a Recruitment team fit for purpose finding Buendia type successes but as far as I can see our best signings weren't found,but were already known by Farke which begs the question what does the scouting team actually do.
  8. As funny as it will be to see Everton down, I still haven't got over Leeds last min win v us so out of pettiness would love them to go down. Rather Burnley stay up as I have a feeling they woukd adapt best to relegation
  9. Winning the league will be hard, but it always is, but there's no way we won't finish top 6 assuming we keep the spine of Krul Hanley and most importantly Pukki. Anyone who has watched the championship this season can see how bad the quality in the league is.
  10. They all seem to be coming out of the woodwork with stories now relegation is confirmed. This is interesting, and concerning in equal measures...and somewhat Unsurprising!
  11. I suspect many on the waiting list may have had 2nd thoughts with the cost of living increasing
  12. I'm not sure aarons offers much going forward personally. He definitely gets forward more and gets in good positions but rarely does anything once he gets there. I do think staying with us has held him back and he's stagnated.
  13. I also wonder why clubs don't just set up a 'Club transfer fund account'. Similar to a charity were fans can just donate money anytime they want. Over time I'm sure we wld all ve stupid enough to donate a few £s during good times to make it worthwhile
  14. Robert Chase used to offer a super season ticket which I think was available along with a standard one. The super season ticket was more expensive but covered you for any and every cup home match so some years it could be great value with 4 or 5 Cup matches Maybe something similar with an extra £30 on the season ticket cld earn extra funds
  15. My memory isn't great these days but wasn't the reason we loaned him out to fortuna sittard because he had a bad attitude and it was felt it would help him mature quickly which to be fair it seemed to do. We have all seen how good he can be, maybe inconsistent but at the moment everyone loses out and its a shame because he has real quality which is one thing we severely lack.
  16. We are a self funding club and part if our remit is to buy young players to sell on Buendia is the only players out of an estimated 30 or 40 he signed, that worked out in that respect. He was quick to criticise the previous regime but they signed Lewis,maddison,Godfrey, who were all sold for good money, the murphys were here from the previous regime sold for big money, aarons and cantwell are the only sellable players we currently have, both here before Webber.
  17. I still can't see them being a force. Sure, they are richer than most now but the big teams here, Liverpool,man u,Arsenal,Chelsea,man city are rich enough and have the pulling power of history and being fashionable. Maybe i thought similar with Man City but I. Pretty sure the best players and their partners prefer living in the Manchester area than Newcastle
  18. We have played alot worse than we did today, that's not defending today which was poor after the first goal but its nowhere near as bad as some games under Megson, or Hughton or even Farke in the prem.
  19. Fair enough, criticise his poor recruitment over 2 prem seasons but if fans want to shout abuse they shouldn't be surprised to get some back.
  20. He does come across as blunt and arrogant at times but climbing Everest etc isn't like going around Dereham looking for balloons, it's really quite incredible. For all his faults Webber seems the kind of person who will fully commit to what he does, ok so having 90% of him doesn't sound great but I bet he gives 110% when we do have him.
  21. Top 3 minimum. Hopefully top 2 coz I can't afford another Wembley trip
  22. IF the other 3 lost all their matches we woukd still struggle to over take them, and that's not possible as there are still games against each other. Allowing a couple of draws we probably have to win 3 draw 1 at least, it's not impossible but it's not going to happen but it's nice to still have a chance even a tiny one
  23. The league has been very average this season. You can bet next year if we get 85-90 points there will be 3 or 4 other teams close too, not like this year
