    Transfer Embargo?

    I post in capitals to differentiate between question and answer, not shout.

    Transfer Embargo?

    I’m really not and you know it but I understand why you’ve said that. But I’m going to delete because some of the things he’s said might upset former teammates etc.

    Transfer Embargo?

    Use Google if you don’t understand, don’t be pompous. “The phrase “as an aside” means what you will say is indirectly related to the topic you are currently speaking about but still somewhat fits the context of your conversation. It can also indicate that you only intend what you will say for...

    Transfer Embargo?

    Just a few bullet points Wages costs 2021 financials 13.4m The club lost cash flow for a period not permanently so any claim if there was one would be offset by the income when match played. Not only that they will have received some of the income anyway. SO WE WILL GET THE SAME GATE RECEIPTS...

    Transfer Embargo?

    Throwing out some alternative angles here: Googled CCFC wage bill and got two answers: 3.8m and 4.8m (gross) Edit: (People on here say £17m - maybe they are right) Out comes the fag packet, not all of the wage bill is players, some is for “normal” staff so free pay, NI thresholds etc...

    Tommy Hutchison Book

    Spoiler alert Look away if you don’t want to read a spoiler of the book. Never knew that Sillett offered him a player-coach role at 39. So that would have been 1986/7?

    Robins message to sisu

    I’m not sure if the quote isn’t more aimed at the Council rather than Joy. A bit of pressure to ensure that the club gets the stadium. Can’t see MR going against Joy - not seen so before even when situation worse.

    Was Tommy signing books today? Surprised Robins didn’t shove a contract under his nose whilst he was signing away - would have been better than Jamie Allen (Satire aside, never got to see him play, before my time but I’m sure that even now he could move quicker than Godden, Waghorn, Allen,….)

    He says this in the second half of the prematch interview on iFollow. After CWR have done their bit an Irish interviewer has 20 mins and Robins talks about the golden share and ground then.

    Oddly, Wasps might be saying this verbatim in a few weeks time….

    I think the whole set up was poor. Why play wingbacks and then essentially a back 3 when you’ve got no one to get on the end of a cross to head it. Blackpool have got aerial threat and it showed and hence it made sense for them to pump crosses in. We were better through the middle playing to...

    To be fair to Kane he does find space well. Not saying he’s great but finding space going forward is a good attribute of his.

    Wilson 5 Distribution very poor. Didn’t quite get back into position after the Doyle had messed up for the first one, just gawping at their winner. Poor all round. Kane 6 Got forward well and some ok crosses. Defensively not so good but not helped by Doyle. Doyle 4 At fault for the first...

    If I were a Blackpool fan I’d be gutted. 3 sitters. 1 post. 1 disallowed. Should be at least 3-1 to them.

    No one is allowed to criticise Sheaf. Stat mafia will get you. “His passing stats duh!” Yes. He passes rather than shoots.
