Rangers and Celtic are much bigger than Leeds - they are financially hampered by playing in the Scottish League. In England only Arsenal, Liverpool and Man U can rival them in terms of history and support base - how long do you think those clubs would take to get out of the Championship if they...

£40m for Ake will help with King & Wilson to follow, plus continued PL payments for a few seasons. I expect them to spend, but just at a lower level. Not that I think he will go, but in those circumstances MR would be perfect for them.

If they were put in the Championship they would storm it. Not because of the team they have now, but the prospect of getting in the PL would entice huge investment into them that would dwarf anything our Championship clubs could muster. They would be at a huge advantage.

If MR maintains that percentage through to the end of next season then he will definitely have a strong case for rivalling JH as the greatest. Bit of a tall ask though!

Nice to have this love in, but now we are in the same league things might not stay so rosy. At the 1st cup game last season (not sure about the replay) Blues fans were looking for trouble, as has historically been the case when we've played them, and now we are a rival in the same league they...

Swansea offered him a new deal but on reduced terms. Those terms are still likely to be higher than what we can stretch to.

Don't see they can justify any more than £10 per match for ifollow. Huge pay per view boxing events don't charge more than that for a much more reliable service. They will just have to suck up joint households watching it, but clamp down heavy on any pubs/ clubs or illegal streams that aren't...

Am I the only one that thinks it out of order to put hearsay information out about players personal lives? By all means say what you like about their performances or value to the club, but this tittle tattle makes me feel uncomfortable.

If we looked to sell Shipley, he would command a much bigger fee than Westbrooke. Some of the gilt edged passes he made last season to set up Hiwula (who generally missed them) and later on Godden belonged to a higher level. He is 22 with loads of potential improvement in him, and the hunger to...

Harrogate have been hungrier and sharper from the off, and Notts haven't been it. Still if Notts get the next goal you never know!

Wasn't done any favours by his keeper for the 2nd, but well past his sell by date. Looks shaky every time the ball goes near him.

As long as our clubs still exist I don't really buy into the punishing the fans angle of this argument. Fans are punished anyway when their teams don't play well and get relegated, its just the natural order of things, and is part of the pitfalls of supporting a football team. I would definitely...

We definitely need a bigger, stronger back up to Kelly than Eccles who I don't see being up to the Championship. Can't see us spending £1m on a player to be a back up though.

I disagree. Martin is a target man, whereas our style of play requires our man up front to run the channels, which Godden had started to do really well by the time last season was curtailed. I don't see Martin doing that, who I think would be much more effective in a team playing 2 up front, and...

Westbrooke played his part for us last season and is a neat tidy player with the odd goal in him. I suspect however he will not be dynamic enough to feature regularly in the Championship barring injuries, and will be down the midfield pecking order behind Kelly, Hamer, Shipley, O'Hare and Allen...

It's not exactly the Corinthian spirit to spend more money than your rivals, and to buy better players, when you haven't got the money to do so. It is grossly unfair instead to penalise clubs who have been financially responsible. Both Wigan and Sheffield Wednesday have cheated and deserve to be...

If teams seek to cheat the rules in order to gain a competitive advantage they deserve to be punished. By cheating they are ensuring there isn't a level playing field to start with, and not taking this action would encourage others to follow suit, demeaning the competition even further.

With the examples you've given, you would be mad to do so. Bobby Gould wasn't manager was he?

Was that to do with the Tevez/ Mascherano transfers to West Ham?
