Agree, we are targeting quality where we need it. I feel the Manager and the Recruitment team know exactly what we need. but will only sign an appropriate player. There may be the odd gamble on development, if they feel a young player is worth a punt.

Here we go again. Anyone who follows football or business knows Fraser is all about how much he can get for his assets. Newcastle fans hated him for a reason and I feel he will seriously effect our ability to perform on the pitch if his rent demands are not reasonable. Pretty sure this is a play...

Thinking about Birmingham and Wrexham, I read that Liverpool received £180 million for winning the Prem and a further £700 million? for commercial activities. This was explaining why despite having an enormous spend on new recruits, they are not breaking the profitability rules. The Sky TV money...

He was so shit for Derby that day. Mo was bought for the top division and couldn't get in the team. Brilliant song unfortunately doesn't make a brilliant player. See also Gary Breen.

Behind closed doors means nothing these days. Monaco streamed it, the local press covered it and everyone I know either watched it or saw the highlights. I think Frank hardly commented as it was so awful. Just my gut feeling, but you may be right.

There are endless examples of poor pre-seasons and good league performances. Also the opposite. That said, confidence plays a big part in team performance, particularly with strikers. After Simms scored against poor opposition in the cup two years ago, his form improved dramatically. Hence...

I know it is difficult to choose your pre-season games when you want them, but I favour a slow progression from poor to, middling to top sides. I feel money plays a part now. Playing a lower side with a player we may be interested in, also has its attractions. Just leave out teams that kick us...

Someone using facts rather than blind prejudice shock.

There is always the golden handshake and pension considerations.

That is within our wage structure

Where did the Eccles is leaving rumours come from? He has played a hell of a lot of minutes in the three seasons we got to the playoffs twice and an FA Cup semi-final. Last season he got injured and missed some games. He was brilliant when he came on against Sunderland before he got injured, as...

Robins said he was injured for the playoff final.

The USA manager says Haji arrived with a problem that was exacerbated when he played.

Never coming here in a million years, maybe in 3 years time. We do not pay £25k a week to anyone.

Teams like Bournemouth have had a lot of success getting the ball forward more quickly.

Yeah my choice, a fun chant.

Of course we could be playing Milan and KKH on the right when Tatsu tires.

Norwich new USA owner, who has a lot of experience owning a sports team over there, had a sideways dig at the owners from over the pond in the Championship. Says having money doesn't mean all that, unless you spend it wisely and have the right coach. I interpreted this as a dig against...

There were two schools of thought last season. Our left sided wide defenders were a weakness or they were always being exposed because Haji or Ephron were not helping them out. Oggy believed it was the latter. We have Brau and he is being played at left sided midfield so far which is strange. I...

Russell Martin said he was totally shocked how quick and physical Premiership players were when Southampton got promoted. It's why the promoted teams often struggle. The only way lesser players can get near these types of teams is to be aggressive and the opposition take it easy. Happens...
