His career is unusual as he became a full time professional very late. I think that if you were being fair you would make allowances that it took him 1000 minutes to find the net. I remember seeing him play in what I think was his full debut against Blackburn in the League Cup when he was...

As soon as anyone comes out with the selfies and autographs comments you know they have lost the argument. I couldn’t care less about Twitter or selfies. I’m not involved in any of that stuff. I like Max because I think he has been an effective, sometimes exciting player at the three different...

Also interesting to note that from Hill’s appointment in 1961 to Milne’s departure in 1981, we had only 3 managers. In the last 20 year period we have had 15 permanent managers (counting Robins twice). Different times I know but I think that there is a lot to be said for giving a manager time...

To say that JH chickened out of the biggest challenge is unfair. He wanted a ten year contract, Derrick Robins would not agree to this. However, if you read Hill’s autobiography he says he was disappointed that the club never came back to him with a compromise offer, an offer he probably would...

Rotherham kept faith with Warne which didn't work out too badly. If you have a good manager who has a plan, why would you want to ditch all of that? We would appear to have a huge budget deficit over every team in this league apart from Wycombe. Anything above second bottom is over achieving...

I haven't heard that Walsh had signed the new contract offered him and I haven't heard if he has recovered from injury and is in the Bristol squad, I might have missed both pieces of news. As the next window is only 2 months away, Bristol would surely want some commitment from him soon or would...

Robins said that Godden had a superb game last night.

The only time at a game I have actually stood in water. The boards on the temporary terracing were warped and concave and filled with a few centimetres of rain water. I have been in Fellows Park, Walsall's old ground, but I still would rate the Newport ground as the worst I have been in. Great...

The season Man Utd were relegated they had gates below 30k.I would think a lot of their plastic fans would jump ship pretty quickly if they slipped down the league for any length of time.

How do you know he hasn't?

You know that for a fact? I would think his circle of professional acquaintances would be far more 'in the know' than most posters on here.

I would think Eakin has more reliable sources than Wasps. There would be a lot of BBC connections at the Birmingham end. (Radio WM etc)

How long would you wait for Wasps to go bust? A year? Five years? Ten? I would ask again. What is plan B if Wasps don't go bust? You seem to say that our only strategy we need, one that is costing us millions in lost revenue, is to wait for another company to go out of business At a...

That's food and beverages from an average gate of 5 or 6k. last season. Gates at the Ricoh, particularly with many teams potentially selling out the away end, would be massively up on that. In a normal season we would be hugely down on revenue playing in Birmingham.

I'd sooner trust what Eakin says than what someone on here may have heard down the pub.

What would be the plan if Wasps don’t collapse because I don’t see that this is something that is certain to happen? What happens If Wasps collapse but then are saved by some financial white knight charging to their rescue? We are marooned in another city. We need to be back in Coventry as soon...

I just had an email back from Rebecca Shortland at the club. She said she had just checked and I will be okay for tonight.

Being an old duffer, I took the advice of my son who said we didn't have to do anything else as we were already registered on the CCFC site. He can pay for my Sky pass tonight if he was wrong!

I assumed that because I am registered on the CCFC site and had bought Ifollow match passes from the site this season that that would mean I was okay to log on this evening and watch the game (I bought this season’s membership and ST). Just looking on there now it seems that there was a separate...

You are probably right. A long time ago! I remember listening to the game on BBC Radio Derby which kept fading in and out. The local radio at the time was BBC radio Birmingham who obviously couldn't be bothered with us that night. The mention of buying the programme to gain admittance to the...
