    Richard Keys on Talksport is at it again!!!

    They may have had a discussion but there wont have been an offer. They need to get their hands on CCFC to get hold of the option without that any discussions are pointless so no offer could be made that would be taken seriously. If they get hold of CCFC then no need to make an offer as they have...

    Richard Keys on Talksport is at it again!!!

    there is no offer to buy half the stadium as he puts it. Never has been............ only an intention to take up the option. he knows nothing :facepalm: its just more of the same old rubbish he keeps spouting

    We need an experienced manager!

    One problem for AT is the increasing number of people questionning his ability to manage. That is a slippery slope to change unless the team starts winning. He can claim to be a decent chief scout, although it isnt all down him you know there would have been others involved and making...

    Gary Speed dead

    Firstly my sympathy and condolences to his wife and children. Truly a shock and so very sad. RIP Gary Speed I am wary of writing the next bit .... i dont want to create triggers..... If indeed it was depression, as would seem most likely, then folk need to understand a few things. Depression...

    Surely time for change?

    I know what you are saying Stu but this is the first season in years i have regularly come away from games feeling we havent really competed, havent done the dirty things in games to compete. We set up to play pretty, slow, neutral football. We set up to retain the ball in our half and except...

    Surely time for change?

    To paraphrase Sherlock Holmes - if you eliminate the impossible you are left with the possible .......... SISU wont put more money in, we cant get more players before January (dreaming again ) the only thing that can change is the manager. Something has to change soon before we are sunk out of...

    Best cov player so far??

    Pretty much agree except I would put Keogh in top line. He has been by far our most consistent top performing player

    Accrington

    I have just watched a news item on Sky about Accrington. Apparently the chairman, Mr Khan, has already put a substantial amount of money into the club and is about to put £2m more into the club. Apparently the club is "debt free" - probably means they only owe only the chairman but not sure. His...

    BRIGHTON - Surely 3 points ???

    Just wondered what made everyone so confident of the 3 points against Brighton ?.... on another thread some have us down to do the double on them. I know they are not in good form but we are not getting the results either. Watched them a couple of times on the telly and they played ok but got...

    John Mutton I salute you

    Well said Mr Mutton! We have SISU because successive Boards of Directors mismanaged the club to the brink of bankruptcy four years ago. Without that there would be no SISU. SISU are not here because of the council - they are here because after years of financial disaster they were the only...

    Gardner In

    it was a small step in the overall cess pool our club is in - like you say he is only here for a month, hope he lives up to your build up Why do you reckon they let him come on loan ...... is it just to build up from injury and get matches or is it McLeish favours others in the Villa squad ?

    Gardner In

    on the question of financing....... many here accuse SISU of being creative with the accounts & figures ....... perhaps they should have been a little more creative with how to finance loan players too then :whistle:. Other clubs have found ways around the costs involved, have thought outside...

    Gardner In

    Personally I am pleased to have got someone at last. That the villa fans really rate the lad is an added bonus. Am looking forward to seeing him play ........ BUT can we please give the lad a chance/time if he doesnt score or doesnt rate a 10 in the first game he plays!!!!! PUSB

    Gardner In

    Wasnt knocking the signing of Gardner at all NLHWC just a bit surprised with all AT's scouting etc he wasnt able to get a more experienced player when he made it very clear that was what he wanted. Can understand that might be hard to do and I hope Gardner really kicks starts our season (but one...

    Gardner In

    Personally I welcome the fact that we are getting someone in and likely to retain Juke for now. If the young lad does come good luck to him and it is some welcome positive news ! I do query how the loan signing matches up to AT's statements about not needing more young players and needing an...

    Cody Mac

    What puzzles me is that given we had very limited funds available and very little time, we go out and buy a player that isnt fit and will take time to bed in or prove himself. Now given that everyone accredits AT with Cody's signing and he was AT's number one target there was no point buying him...

    RATINGS FOLKS v Cardiff

    "As far as short passing goes: there were once again a lot of long balls last night; we keep possession deep, but it seems to be that if the full-backs are marked (actually our most reliable out-ball, OSB!), all that neat passing is just to tee up a hoof. What's the point? The opposition are in...

    FAO the ‘Thorn is a miracle worker’ lot on here

    I dont think most people are blaming just AT williestanley. Most of the comments identify the issues they have with him but no one is blaming just him. Some folk seem to take a criticism of him as blaming AT for everything - not the case. Like everyone else the guy has good points and bad points...

    Noble bid rejected

    Can only be cover in case Juke goes .......... AT was quite adamant recently that he didnt need more young lads and needed some experienced loan player. Not surprised was turned down though ...... not sure playing in our team would develop him

    RATINGS FOLKS v Cardiff

    Took a look at the stats from the game......... yes we shaded the possession (AT's treferred measurement of success?) But Cardiff had more chances and the better chances. We got something but could easily have lost that game. Kenny Miller should have scored at least one. Not really sure how AT...
