    Wonder if he will carry on doing the same things in the EPL or he will make a few people eat their words ?

    My guess he will get far better financial support. This was almost nonexistent after he performed miracles in taking us up on a shoestring.

    Webber should have been the fall guy, not Farke, and what he is doing at Leeds is evidence of that.

     


  2. STOKE.

    Forget today’s Webber connection, this has nothing to do with that.

    I have thought for a long time, Stoke have by far the richest owner in the Championship. Her income is  Million pound a day. Yes a Million, all sadly from betting. What good has that done Stoke? Not a lot I would suggest.

    Just shows having very rich owners doesn’t do much good, unless they use some of it to help the club they own.

    She would hardly notice a few million here and there to help them financially.

     


  3. Hamilton for me every time.

    BUT in Delias words “ he was such a nice man”

    Did any other owners ever say that about successful managers?

    Recall someone on the board once said Paul Lambert was the most demanding man he had ever met………I rest my case.

     

     


  4. Would you say has performed the best?

    we all agree that a fee like like would buy our club and change.

    I am at an age when the best goal scorer I have ever seen, Jimmy Greaves, insisted that Spurs paid a pound under a hundred thousand as he did not want to be the first one.. My god what would he be worth today, in this totally stupid market place?

    Love football, hate what it’s become!!

     


  5. A true Gent.

    Many, many years ago our kids did a school trip to the training ground in Trowes. Ken was manager at the time, he made time for the kids and was happy to have his photos taken with them. 
    would that ever happen today"…………..no I don’t think so either.

    Happy days.


  6. Webber's ego in the early days, made him think he was doing us a great favour being here.

    Always said he would like to work abroad.

    Well personally in think that ship has well and truly sailed.

    As far as Liverpool are concerned, as much of a chance as Wagner becoming their next manager.

    Farke = Wagner in that neither of them can see a way to build & set up a team for the Premier League 

    But why couldn’t Farke keep them up?

    One massive reason is Webber betrayed him. On the first promotion he was given the lowest budget for a newly promoted team in the history of the PL.

    Did nobody notice that Sara was heavily involved in our second goal yesterday from the number 10 position and scored from the same role vs Bristol Rovers midweek. He's clearly better as a 10 than an 8.

    Agree, and who knows, if he is not playing in his best, and his favourite position extensively,  what then, could make him unhappy and want to move on.


  9. With Barnes manager often said it what he brings to the dressing room, and his leadership skills.

    strange that, there’s silly me thought he was bought in as a striker, despite his awful goal scoring record. Still he was free, but probably on huge wages.

    Personally I would rather have a goal scorer, than someone good in the dressing room. Games are won on the field, not in the dressing room.


  10. I have posted before that playing Sara in the position he is at present is a complete waste of his undoubted talent.

    Much further forward will help him to feed the forward’s , as well as scoring himself. Hardly likely to do either playing so deep.

    Question is if 26,000 people can see that why can’t the head coach?


  11. I seem to recall that in the year Huddersfield won promotion to the PL, they were the best team to visit Carrow Road that season.

    Wagner was the manager, so then he was capable of producing a team that played enjoyable football to watch.

    So what has changed in him to produce such dire entertainment here?

    Is it, lack of decent players, or under orders, too cautious,  lack of confidence, goodness only knows.

    But something in him has been lost since then, doubt his self belief will ever be restored while he remains here

    Put me down for not shocked but hardly surprised the way the corridors of power have managed this club in recent years.

    Agree, big question is why is Webbers wife still on the board. Would that happen in any other business?

    on Saturday she was  sitting with Neil Adams, and the new SD. Unbelievable.

    would you as the new man want her ( and him) looking over your shoulder all the time.

    Still never mind, as long as the main players in charge in Happy Valley, are still happy.

    when they score.

    What's all this about. Usually it's a finger to the lips, but there are others.

    Yesterday when Barnes scored he ringed his eyes in a 'glasses' type' gesture, presumably to say see what I can do so there! and presumably in response to criticism of him that he had read on social media (and perhaps even on this forum.) It was the simplest of striker goals, in any case, and nothing remotely brilliant.

    Is it really necessary? Is it really grown up behaviour?

    They are supposed to be professional adults, even role models, capable of rising above some of the nonsense they read, not get involved in it. Before the internet and perhaps when there might have been less individual scapegoating of a player during a game, player celebrations of a goal were far more dignified, although I did like the "slide" instigated by some Tottenham player whose name I forget.

    I suppose it could also be considered mildly antagonistic during what is supposed to be a celebratory/fun moment.

    Bah!

    Capt Sir Tom Moore would have scored that simple tap in.

    One of the oldest signings made by our club, sadly one of the most childish.
