It’s a bit cringe now. Lampard and King have rightly given Robins his flowers for the role he played and demonstrated real humility and modesty. Whilst we wouldn’t be up without him, he also wasn’t the right person to get the job the done.
I’m looking forward to the days where he comes back as...
I work in an industry where AI is somewhat overhyped.
Ultimately, AI is only as useful as the inputs you give it. It speeds up relatively smaller scale tasks but the machine learning aspects of it struggle if inputs are too broad.
They are twats but two wrongs don’t make a right. The tragedy of losing a club another EFL club can’t be repeated.
I’ll take the piss that they’ve fucked such a strong financial position but not if they go under.
Hull supposedly knocked us back for £10m for Hughes this summer before Prem status confirmed and within the 5 year plan. I’d be shocked and actually worried if we don’t spend more than £15m on at least 1 player.
Sunderland bought 3 players for £20m and above last season and a few more on deals...
I agree and my gut instinct is that there will be players Lampard could attract, that Robins could never imo. He’s a legend of the game and has a great track record developing talent, the only reason Jones, Elliott or Hackney seem vaguely believable rumours is because of Lampard.
Harvey...
It’s pretty obvious that Hellberg has lost his head and the players have picked up on that.
It will be interesting to see what they do in the summer. With Tottenham/West Ham/Forest most likely to come down with Wolves and Burnley the league is looking potentially v competitive.
Aside from the...
People were talking about the rebrand… their sales collapsed because the campaign does not appeal to their customers and it wasn’t even original or groundbreaking - it was shite.
Jeering is bad form. None of those players really had a choice whether they came or went.
Lampard probably sanctioned selling Sheaf off because we got a good price for a player who is starting to miss a lot of game time. He’s still a top Championship midfielder, just not compared to Grimes or...
His value would’ve tanked this year - he was the star man at the U21 Euros when Villa picked him up. Transfermarkt is only a barometer but they reckon it’s around €22m so an actual fee would look like c. £25m.
Harvey Elliott needs to find his way at a Prem club and feel his ‘ideal’ club is...
With respect to Markelo, good planning involves picking up players for 1-2 seasons before they break into the first team. Bournemouth are a great example of this.
100%.
If people are humble about their damascene conversion, then fair play. It’s a good thing that they’ve come to games and fell in love with our club.
I’ll get the hump with anyone who masquerades as a diehard who supported Man U, Chelsea or whatever tinpot team way back when.
In a sense...
Let’s get the season wrapped up tomorrow because I don’t know about all of you, but all this ‘celebrating’ isn’t doing my liver (or waistline) any good!
At this rate I’ll need to do my own football fan preseason! 😂
Birmingham were linked with every man and his dog and in any case, Valencia were also interested. He did a good job at Augsburg last season too. You ought to drop the weird agenda you have v Onyeka.
No one else was linked with Grimes when we were in for him and we were midtable in Jan 2025… was...
