    Happy League Champions Day

    I am sure it has been said, but like Rik Mayall, I'm going to say it anyway ...... You wait 50 years for a promotion, and then two come one after the other"

    Happy League Champions Day

    No that is unfair on Parry who has always been clear about what he wanted - PPG. He has had the job of herding powerful recalcitrants like Posh into accepting the inevitable, rather than risk defeat when some clubs may have thought there was something to be gained by carrying on. It is more...

    Surely Mark won’t go

    One of Robins' additional assets, for an owner, is his ability to handle the ups and downs of questionable owners, while in public remaining loyal. He is not a moaner like Mowbray

    Surely Mark won’t go

    1. Surely Chris Hughton is a shoe in if he wants it 2. We may be a basket case, but at least he knows where he stands. That will not be the case at B'ham 3. Management is snakes and ladders. Huddersfield and after was all snakes for him. He's on a ladder right now 4. I think SISU are rewarding...

    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    Looks like I was wrong. Apparently the first vote will be to include/exclude the Tranmere option. Then they move to a vote for which PPG version. That could make it messy. But who knows?

    Line up for championship next season

    oh and having had no winger and been promoted (we hope) why are we so obsessed with having one again. Foe all they bring, they often lack flexibility as players. Thomas missed so many chances and was utterly useless at tracking back.

    Line up for championship next season

    If having 10 changes / season has got us two promotions what is the virtue of a settled squad? Except mediocrity - it is over rated. Only Kelly and Hyam remain from the first game in L 2, and Hyam only played that day because Willis was out. We are a league higher - McF, Hyam, Kelly, Jodi...

    Line up for championship next season

    Same applies to Hyam - he was slow even for L 2

    A dilemma-what would you do?

    Saudi millionaire turns up, says he's going to pay SISU and the Wasps to go away. Hand on heart who would quibble? Maybe if he was Vlad the Impaler, but otherwise....

    A dilemma-what would you do?

    Precisely - bung in Russian billionaires as well. That amount of money, it is almost impossible to be squeaky clean. I am rather fed up with the cheap moralizing this country has descended to. Whatever happened to the pragmatic English, Perfidious Albion. Take the money.

    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    Oh give it a break don't be a hypocrite Were we in their shoes, you would be saying exactly the same as the Tranmere fans. Clubs should be all out for themselves, that is their job. The EFL act as arbiters to ensure fair play, but clubs must fight for their own self interest. This is not a...

    Reality Statement from Wycombe

    Good to see a statement of hard reality. Most L 1 clubs have the same dilemma, regardless of where you are in the league

    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    This is IPSWICH’S PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE EFL PROPOSAL - Should the relegated, League One season not be completed, clubs should be consulted about alternative play-off formats. - Any alternative play-off format would require the support of six clubs to be put before the entire division for...

    Their absolutely correct desire not to go to court is why people should cut the EFL some slack

    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    The most interesting thing, in a nerdy kind of way, is that the Tranmere proposal is a one off for this year only. Not a change to the constitution. That might appeal to some. Also what happens if someone moves an amendment, if that is allowed and says for instance that the measure should be two...

    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    This is a guess I would assume first up they vote to accept or reject the EFL proposal as it represents a change in the rules and is the EFL recommendation. It has priority. If it passes, game over If it fails I assume they move onto the Tranmere proposal if it has sufficient support to...

    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    I am warming to Dale. Bringing a cool business head to matters. Something so complex as TR's plan would be big pay days for the lawyers. But it sounds like they have been taking some soundings and have some support.

    Matty Godden

    My favourite goal of the season. Great long pass into a tricky area from Westbrooke, tremendous awareness by Shipley, then a 1st time strike from Matty G
