Is it not a PFA thing? Pretty sure its voted by the players.

Has Ashley pumped in 100s of millions or is that a lazy urban myth? On the face of it your quoting the excessive amounts spent on 2 under performing players backs that up, but the context changes somewhat when you consider Newcastle received £126m in TV payments last season alone. Add on gate...

......... but Newcastle fans do pack out their ground and buy merchandise!!

I know I replied to your comment but it wasn't you I was specifically digging at. There seems a knee jerk thing amongst many of our supporters to want to re-sign ex players, or sign Cov born players - it happens every transfer window. In respect of Leahy while I acknowledge he has a decent left...

This is the Luke Leahy who has been a mainstay of this years relegated Bristol Rovers team, having previously been a mainstay of relegated Walsall's team? To save time I thought I would just list any Cov born player, as I think we can expect similar posts through the Summer. A quick google...

Irrelevant - that's just hindsight. After 39 games they were only 2 points above the drop zone and closer to relegation than we were at the same point this season. Even so there were many on here that were convinced we were in real danger of going down this season, so I'm pretty sure a large...

Portsmouth definitely flirted with relegation to the Conference in 2013-14. They were lying in 22nd place with only 7 games left, so I imagine a lot of their fans feared the worst at that precise moment in time.

Surely you don't need @Barnsley to tell you that? We only played them last Sunday! Did you not see them playing Dike, their £20m forward?

Grant is Tyler Walker's buddy. He's a better shout than many I've seen on these threads.

Perhaps we could play Dabo & Da Costa in midfield 🤣

Slightly worried that there might be a natural come down after the effort put into the last 2 matches, but if we can start the game well hopefully the confidence they must have at the moment will carry us through. Would be nice to get as high a finishing position as possible, rather than just...

Its funny, but when Platnauer joined us, Bobby Gould had to bring in an army of players to replace the loss of many of our star youngsters (Hateley, Thomas, Gillespie, Sealey, Dyson, Whitton etc), which got me thinking about the threads on here we've had on rating MR's signings this season. If...

If Taylor moves on from Forest I reckon his most likely move will be to join Bowyer at Birmingham.

Remember Platnauer joined us in Bobby Gould's first season with us, and signed from Gould's previous club Bristol Rovers along with Graham Withey. Got a feeling Platnauer may even have been player of the year that season.

Initially the league will lose some lustre without the participation of the greedy 6 of course, but the league would be much more equal in their absence and a new dynamic would soon be formed that could make the Premier League more interesting than at present. The big 6 already have big...

To be fair players will have no choice, while they have existing contracts with these clubs. Maybe I'm blinkered to the realities of the modern world, but I find it hard to believe there will be widespread interest in this tournament, and without qualification through sporting merit I can see...

Strange thing is though that unlike us I don't see Brentford, Swansea or Bournemouth changing their style as we did to counteract Barnsley''s strengths. I therefore think that if they make it they will still ruffle some feathers in a play off scenario.

The rest of football should hold firm. If these 'super' clubs want to join this money fest it should be made clear that in doing so they have to resign from the English league structure, knowing that if it goes tits up there is no quick way back for them.

Would have to re-visit our goal to see if we did steal the 20 Ignore this - misread the post by skyblueeyes revisited :confused:

I maybe wrong Otis, so please someone correct me if I am, but as I posted on a different thread they are still under the same umbrella as Cov United, which wasn't set up for the benefit of CCFC. l can't find it in myself to give a damn about them.
