It's a post season interview with press, not a player reveal. You've been watching too many Disney princess movies perhaps?

I just had a look at the comparison of our goal conversion rate between this season and 20/21. This season we had 729 shots on goal, and converted 7.8% (57 goals). In 20/21 we had 929 shots on goal and converted 8.1% (75 goals). So our conversion rate isn't all that different than the great season we had under Farke, but the number of attempts that we were generating previously is at another level. Don't know how reliable those stats are though. Ref: https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/championship/chancenverwertung/wettbewerb/GB2/saison_id/2022

Their continued rise is so admirable, this was onscreen before the match incase anyone missed it:

Let's reminisce of sunnier days....

I think it will be more humble, due to MA circling the waters, and the discontent and failure this season. In the prem league you can be forgiven, but not at this level.

Is that a relative to the bus w****r?

Sunderland look shellshocked after that. Great move to play it out wide again, having that strength in the box.

Wowsers, well deserved!

Webber's dug hole, I think.

Hate to say it, but I think we'd fold in a match like this. Shows the importance of players like McLean at this level.

Reminds me of the kebab shop that lot down the road use for matchday tickets:

Crazy when you consider we've had two £100m windfalls in the prem league AND sold Emi, Godfrey & Lewis for a combined total of around £70m in that time period too. But as you say, things are only worth what someone is willing to pay - so whatever the talk and second guessing, it's all nonsense - Well, footballing and money is as a whole, in fact. Add into the mix that even if we do have assets with value such as Sara, Rashica - we may have only paid a fraction of that total value due to this date. So any sales may not even register a tick on the revenue scale, I often imagine clubs to have a huge trail of transactions based on the the instalments in place for transfers over the years.

His too tall, what?

And even then it wasn't the ale filled jacuzzi that made him question the move, but the solitary, bloated, pork scratching floating on the surface. Barnes, however...

Webber's original speech was "Much like the net this season, Pukki doesn't know where my door is", but he canned it last minute.

Local paper shop cares, they're making a killing on sharpies, pins, boards and invisible ink.

Could've got 3 points vs Southampton in the next home match, too, so you can't be certain of such things.

But you talk of costs caused by fans "getting their way", we didn't universally ask for this, and we didn't ask for Smith to be appointed as a replacement. It was the clubs decision to u-turn on their own plan, and I dare say it was in reaction to external criticisms of the club rather than our own fans voices. It never reached the level where Farke's position was untenable with the fans, and dare I say that the win at Brentford could've been followed up with a win at home to the Saints too. So to suggest that we're the reason for costs and wasted time is misguided (imo).

Wasn't the fans at all, it's the style that Webber (Along with Farke) brought to this club which caused a restructure to the head coach/sporting director model, in order to sustain an ongoing plan of development. It was they that decided to u-turn on the principles sold to us and appointed a manager that very few wanted, and who himself didn't want to embrace the fans, was in stark contrast to Farke, whom the players had been in to a previous plan. How any of that is fan driven I really don't know(?). We've had two really **** seasons, so us getting our "own way" is complete **** mate - we just wanted a team to get behind, that's all. Not all of us carry an agenda or such like.

I really like Shef, but you do have a point here. Could we have some parliamentary procedure perhaps?

If fans got their way, would he have been appointed in the first place? EDP ran a poll where 8,000 people voted and he got 10%. The board electing to rip up the plan and go with such a stark contrast from Farke to Smith was the costly part.

It's part of it, just as any relationship where you show your partner or friends respect. Goes a long way.

Because unlike Smith he has a good connection with supporters at this club.

I think Howe was most likely in Webber's mind, but by the time we'd dismissed Farke he was already sealed with Newcastle behind the scenes.

Mate, I haven't a clue what any of this means, could you make it simpler to understand for laymen if you're trying to make a point? I'm reading this thinking that you have a substantial amount of shares, yet you don't have a seat/get invited to the canary masonic lodge due to how outspoken you are? And there's others here that are giving the impression that they're not surprised by that - But I don't know if that's through the posts you make, or them actually knowing you or being in your company at an event? Furthermore, is that why you go at the throat of how the club is currently run? Moreso what is your underlying fear? Is it of your shares losing value, or that you'd in some way be forced to sell them? Or is it more than you want to be a part of the club yet feel isolated from it and treated unfairly because the opinions you feel are validated?
