    End of september to now

    “Wow”? That’ll be the guy who got 1 goal 1 assist in the Champ yesterday? What did he cost? Oh. Free agent signed last month until the end of the season. Not a huge long term contract risk then. With a squad as threadbare as ours this season having a 6ft3 ex £10m Prem Eng u21 low risk low...

    Risk free name to have on the back of your shirt I suppose.

    Ratings v Swansea

    Wilson 9 Why not? Couple of great saves, good distribution particularly towards the end putting Vic in a good break position, came out well and a clean sheet and a club record. 9 you get. Not-on Bench 7 No real complaints about him. Physical as usual, awkward but effective. Ok. McNally 7...

    Was she the worst chairperson (edit: CEO or Chair/Top boss/controlling mind) in recent memory? Richardson for selling HR and not being savvy enough on the Tesco front to stop the council (allegedly) creaming the profit (this I’m not sure of) McGinnity (did he mortgage off half the arena to...

    Why if you’re there? You’d have paid for front row seats, right?

    If she needs a few quid she should do one of those “an audience with” question and answer fan things. I reckon there’s a few on here that’d pay a few quid to (I typed probe her, now edited) find out what on earth she was thinking.

    Agree with first bit. The reality is it could have been worse: Bury comes to mind, if Joy had have just binned the aim of getting the club back into some kind of order and turned off the tap and ransomed the golden share or whatever. I don’t think Tim’s idea of a statue is happening anytime...

    Past tense? No longer that’s she’s not the owner anymore? The mind boggles.

    You might be right with the PL thing and I’d go along with that but for the way the “final 15%” thing unravelled. I think a lot of us thought that SISU retaining 15% was a mechanism for PL pay out and it was all very chummy between King & Joy. King saying that it was hard to work without full...

    I bet she’s relieved it’s over. I think at the outset she thought Ray would be running the show. Legal battles take up huge amounts of time and those on top of running a loss making club would no doubt have taken her away from managing her hedge funds and such. I wonder if she’ll kick herself...

    Personally I’d like to hear her side of the story. What her initial plans were, where it went wrong, what had Ranson promised, were there other backers that backed out, the legal battles and why, why she appointed Ken, Onye, etc.??? What was the Storey story? There’s loads of unanswered...

    Jamie Allen: New Contract to 2025

    Who put 10p in you? What’s your contribution besides sarcasm? Boring. Muted.

    Max Biamou the club legend

    I think Tavares had that raw pace and trickery and unpredictability that unsettled defenders. Just throwing it out there, but in some ways players that haven’t come through a U.K. academy or youth system do sometimes have that X-factor. It’s almost as though invention and creativity is coached...

    Jamie Allen: New Contract to 2025

    They’re a funny bunch on here. There’s a few that just like to be sassholes (you know the type, like to make sarky comments just for the sake of it. My daughter does it but then again she is a 12 year old girl. They post laughing emojis trying to look clever). There’s also a lot of “white...

    Trying to think of a butcher/baker Quorn pun and him being a substitute. I’ll chew it over.

    Head of Recruitment Chris Badlan and Chief Scout Stuart Benthom have left the Club.

    You should have shouted louder. It’s your fault we were relegated from the Prem. Don’t let it eat at you though. Don’t keep thinking about what might have been. (Satire)
