As a massive Mark and Adi fan, and suspicious about what actually happened behind the scenes, what is really important is, what will happen from here onwards. King will be judged primarily on where we finish during his tenure. Add in the quality of football, and if the finances are better when...

Yes he played at Sunderland a couple of seasons ago and that was the worst game I have seen him take part in. After that he was good there on occasion.

Bobby Gould or George Curtis used to batter the opposition goalie at the first corner. Never mind the ball, get on with the game. Shankley described the City under Cantwell as playing alehouse football. Revie's Leeds were a great team but a bunch of thugs. Jack Charlton said he had a book of...

Thought we would have a real chance of winning, as I thought with relegation a big possibility and resultant loss of millions they would play a weakened team. Fielded a strong one against Bristol Rovers.

OMG, am I advocating for King shock. Surely, unless Top Deck Doug is completely useless, he will have staggered the deals over different financial years, added on achievements, promotions etc to reach the full fee. I get the outgoings will have same provisos, but Vik's money has been reported as...

Pretty easy to cut and paste the interview if it is with the Telegraph, or copy if on audio. Would stop any arguments if it is indisputable. Look forward to seeing or hearing his exact words.

Whilst I completely agree with what you have said, I think our coaches should be improving, refining the players we have into a coherent unit that can get us at least into the top half of the division. Am I agreeing with Doug shock? Most of this team (injuries have not helped) got us near the...

Yes but the improvement from when he first joined to when he left us was vast. Bearing in mind the play off season he was carrying an injury near the end. Small margins, but if he had been fully fit and Gus didn't get injured against Luton, it may have been a different outcome.

Go on piss Grendel off, say Max.

Doesn't come from the club, it is usually agents who want a percentage. Thought King had killed the leaks?

I'm with you with the memory thing, so I can't be trusted that far back. However, I do remember (correctly hopefully), Cattlin getting a lot of stick then there was something in the Telegraph saying his nickname was Spider. Suddenly, everybody thought he was brilliant and he responded...

The reason given at the time was the parachute payments had run out at West Brom and they had to sell their main assets? He was their top scorer in a team that reached the playoffs. Looked a no brainer at the time. Apart from Hadji, all our strikers have struggled. Our midfield need to create...

Eccles is a very good player who has improved every year, playing minutes near the top of our appearance list ever since he established himself in the team. Every player (even the very best) have a dip in form, although that often coincides with the team playing less well. I don't think Eccles...

Seen too many players join and are pants only to end up as heroes. Chris Cattlin and Cyrille Regis are two that come to mind. BTA was top scorer for West Brom in a very defensive counter attacking side. All our strikers are struggling mainly due to the lack of quality balls from midfield or even...

I have said I want Lati to stay. Two million is not a great deal in football these days. As far as King goes, the concern is he is a Board of one, so no checks and balances or anyone in authority to nay say him. Analyse his tenure. Four year contracts to Mark and Adi. Almost everyone happy with...

I am sure you are right. Please explain how it works to this old git, as so many are saying we have to sell one before we bring one in.

I thought he was fine last season. This time out his passing has really let us down. Our centre backs used to drive forward with the ball and that has stopped in the main this season. Confidence issue , I feel. In a back four, the opposition let Thomas be the one who has to pass forwards. He...

First instinct good draw as they are fighting relegation and will field a weakened team. Then I saw their lineup against Bristol Rovers. Need to be firing all over the pitch to stand a chance.

Unlike some of our international players, he rarely comes back injured and usually plays our next game. Can't remember one occasion he came back injured, or not fit to play but happy to be corrected. International players tend to be your better players. Nip to Orange Street in Kingston and...

Too much power in the hands of the top teams. Football like society, the money moves upwards and doesn't come back down .
