No. I'll admit Lampard can talk a good game but that doesn't mean he's any good at actually managing players to get want he wants across. Rooney I think had a bit of a free pass with Derby given their situation, but I think overall he's pretty average. I also don't think Gerrard will be a top...

Just had a mad idea. People are saying that we want the loud fans behind the goal. Others are saying that the rowdy fans want to be near the away fans. Could we put away fans in smaller section of seats underneath the boxes? Our fans could then go behind the goal but still be relatively...

Chemical Bros *yes, I know the song's called Galvanise

Indeed. It's not about wanting them to fail, it's saying that just because you were a great player doesn't mean you'll be any good as a manger. Lots of top managers weren't top class players, and that arguably helps them because it means they have to understand the game better if they want to...

Anyone who thinks it's Gyokeres' must be on Weeeeeeeeed

I think it'd be given a red light.

Squad limits. It's the only way to stop the stockpiling. And I don't mean caveated limits like U21's don't count or if a player came through the academy. A straight up limit of 40 players on professional contracts at any club. If you're at that limit you have to sell or de-register a player...

We could try and look on the positive side and say a new recruitment team might make better use of the funds we're currently wasting on the likes of Hilssner and Dacosta etc. It's one to feel both excited and scared at the prospect as it could go either way. This transfer window I'd have been...

This was my response too. I felt pretty sure that the top 10% of earners earn something like 60-70% of the money so what this story actually says is: Rich people don't pay their fair share.

@Nick It appears your services are required.

Imagine if he'd won the leadership instead of Boris... Yes, he's still a Tory and the ideology that goes with that but at least he seems to have a brain and some common sense. Though saying that the Tory nutters would have got rid of him so quick it'd make Truss look like a multi-term PM

I thinks it's needs must. Imagine this squad if it didn't have the four loanees available. Of course we'd prefer long term signings but if the right players aren't available right now why bring people in on longer contracts? It's going to leave us with a monumental rebuild job in the summer...

The measures have been put in place for a reason. The club isn't going to make seats unavailable and lose revenue for the sake of it. Of course you can argue subjectively about whether the measures are overly draconian, but the fact is measures are in place because fans misbehaved. A big part...

I think it's a dig about how some were saying paying a £400k fee for him was a trivial amount, and wages of £18k a week for six months is about the same amount.

Considering in the past you've made veiled comments about why I dislike Priti Patel and Suella Braverman I don't think you're one to talk.

Everton have had problems for a while. Employing Lampard as manager just added to them.

Willie Carr

I can only assume that stands for Unbelievable Female Orifice

I'm not happy he's buzzing about things going over the line. Or maybe he's not being contracted as a player but as goalline technology.

I guess it depends on how much he's getting. If it's not that much having him as No.2 would be fine, if it weren't for Moore still being contracted next year as well. I'm sure we'll be looking to let him go on a free to bring in someone else but if we fail to do that then there's pretty much no...
