As someone said already we need OSB. Can anyone explain what this actually means?

Not today no. Different times then. Jimmy Hill created a sky blue revolution. Football was still stuck in the 1950s when he took it by the scruff of the neck and transformed everything about it. Modernised everything about our club and everyone else followed. Jimmy left because he was made an...

What are all these stories saying his girlfriend does not want to move and he may be staying in Lisbon, as he loves the culture and the weather?

There is a saying in football, you are only as good as your last game. However, there is also a saying, form is temporary, class is permanent. My take on Haji is he is a class player and is a proven top scorer at Championship level. All players, particularly strikers, go through a period of poor...

We seem to have got a load of fools or should that be tools who keep posting bullshit on social media. Obvious lies from the outset. Now I know that has gone on for years from WUMs. However, it has gone completely batshit at the moment. Post truth. I blame Farage.

Lampard admitted he was unsure how to use Haji to get the best out of him. Does that mean he may leave or the tactics will be tweaked?

£1 million (part of the rising to figure) was if we got promoted. Believe that has lapsed now.

Sargent seems to have continuous injury problems which may not get any better as he gets older. That price for him in unrealistic. Before his injury last season, think Haji was pretty good regarding his fitness. It is what his goals are worth to the team rather than some arbitrary price. Heard...

And MR said he was carrying an injury.

I remember going to the Checkatrade first game the year we won it against Northampton. Very few there that day.

Jimmy Hill, the man who virtually on his own transformed football. Abolition of the minimum wage, three points for a win, sponsorship on shirts, modern tv expert coverage, up-to-date music at grounds, broadcasts of matches to other venues. Jimmy is responsible for the modern game today for good...

There was a thread about how big our club was potentially. Plenty on here saying we would never fill the CBS and how we are really a small club with little potential. I was not one of them.

Robins was a great manager for us and will never be forgotten His record without Adi, here and at other clubs, so far, has not been poor but not great either. The test will be at Stoke where he will have a bit of money, possibly more than us to spend depending on Stoke's owners.

The USA called him up at the start of last season but he couldn't get a visa (before Trump). If they want him, they will sort it out.

Unfair on Sheff Utd for promotion again. The bookies sometimes get it wrong (Luton last year) but there is a reason they make more money than they lose. We may be good at 10/1 (I saw quoted) depending on our recruitment. I really hope Brum don't perform as well as the bookies predict.

Absolutely no surprises in the retained list especially as we are still in the Championship. Our squad is already short so it appears Allen will be kept for a year then reassessed. If you go on loan and can't crack it, the writings on the wall. Hence, goodbye Burroughs and Howley. Really sad...

What are the criteria for a Cat 1 Academy? Is it about money, as surely Brum are no different to us at present?

I think there will be some left-field signings. Agents are a real pain, as are social media and press experts who throw suggestions at a wall hoping one will eventually stick. MVE and Tatsu were only speculated near their signing I believe and Bassette was a surprise. With the CBS rent...

I don't think there should be a set formation. Just the best one to suit the players available and some creative thinking in some of the matches particularly away against say Sheff Utd and possibly Ipswich. At Sheff Utd we seem to turn up like lambs to the slaughter.

Possibly not then, but we did seem to be chasing him forever.
