WBA in financial difficulty. New owner has not put the money in promised. High earners are being encouraged to leave the club. Palmer sold in January against managers wishes.

The system is broken. Academies always worked on the basis that if you found 1 or 2 players that per group who became pro you had done well. Then every couple of years you produce 1 that makes your first team squad, and then every 5 years you find an absolute banger who plays for the first team...

Of course the logical thing to do would be to base your pricing on demand … ie lots of demand now so don’t reduce and if demand reduces then reduce pricing … the problem is that you need young fabs already hooked if you want them to turn up in the darker days …. my sons rarely miss matches now...

Having the right pricing for kids is important to me not at a personal level but for the future of the support base. I would have discounted season tickets with a cap on the total number available for non adult, and similar for a match day. Many clubs have waiting lists for season tickets and...

And there are Cov fans on both sides you plumb

You are right but it’s that side of Warwickshire which borders Leicestershire and that isn’t the west of the midlands …. Define it as you will

A lot of Cov fans can’t abide King so god knows how they would cope with non communicative foreign owners …. I think it’s routed in jealousy personally. It’s an East Midlands thing. I had no idea everywhere wasn’t like it until I moved out of the area ….

I can guarantee you have not watched him play much in the last 2 years… no one has. Long term injuries ca make a huge difference to a player …. Exhibit number 1 … Fankaty Dabo I’m not saying he would be poor as I’ve not seen enough of him to know how well he is now playing but it’s too early...

No he isn’t …. But I agree entirely with you

I take it you don’t know the difference in roles between a CDM and a full back …

I can’t believe Pompey will be spending £4m + on any striker let alone Simms

He would be quicker than any poster on here I rather suspect

I don’t know about that look at the Newcastle midfield, or Declan Rice for Arsenal for example …. They certainly still exist but I agree there tend to be less of them ….

Couldnt agree more …. It’s about the blend but you need pace in all 3 departments ….

I think I agree with almost all of your suggestions. I’d probably trade BTA but that aside it makes a lot of sense to me …

C grade isn’t a grade for on plan that’s a B grade. Do you think that Burnley fans are giving their players C’s because they got promotion and expected promotion ? We still have a playing budget outside the top 6.

Yep. Total passenger in that final season. The guy can certainly finish but his legs have gone to the point his press isn’t effective, he can’t run the channels, etc. I personally hope he stays in lg1 … it must be much more fun banging in the goals for a team and the fans loving you for it...

Deliberately low to create more noise and with it listeners ?!?!

Not sure they’d right …. Shesf will go if he gets the right offer and the club will let him move on if a fair offer is made. it doesn’t suit either party for him to stay and run down his contract

Very one paced though …. As is Kitch. Makes our left side defence quite exposed.
