The only danger to the show is if people start switching off. If the next episode has a significantly lower viewing figure than previous serious premieres then AMC might start to think about winding things down. It can't be a cheap show to make and this far in contracts must be coming up for...

Then you'd be signing them up at a time when you don't know if they will come close to making the grade. You'd potentially have a squad of 50 kids the vast majority of which aren't up to scratch. No doubt then people would be moaning we were paying for a load of unneeded players.

We haven't got enough players who will be here next year to put a team out!

Its always three bloody weeks! So they should be on sale by the end of next week. Doesn't give a very long early bird period, only about 3 weeks so I imagine that will be extended.

Not all players develop at the same rate. TM has been pretty clear, when he has moved up to U21s he's not played well enough to push for a first team place.

Pedestrians, who look, see you and then walk out right in front of you. Drivers who force there way through and then give you the wave like you had any other choice but let them through.

That seems a foolproof plan. They definitely won't buy tickets for other blocks and just walk round to where they want to sit.

Average attendance 1986 to now: Cov 21,180 Wigan 20,233 Average attendance 1947 to 1985: Cov 34,705 Wigan 6,701 Before 2005 Wigan didn't have a season average over 10K.

That's what annoyed me. It's the boy who cried wolf. They've done it too many times this season and its just annoying now. And there's the things Otis mentioned. You can suspend reality, its a program after zombies after all, but you reach a limit and its got to the point where you're watching...

Great, so we'll only get £100K.

Took 3 posts for someone to complain about a price reduction!

Don't see anything wrong with what has been said. Highly doubt its anything that hasn't been said to him before, probably why he's been mouthing off on twitter the last few months about young players being given a chance in the first team. The rules are so wrong here. The system is setup so...

Think Mowbray makes a good point. Was scoring for fun in the U18s but not so much in the U21s so why would he move straight into the first team. Also says he's been told he'd be likely to get a pre-season with the first team next year and if he impressed would stay in the squad.

Is this separate to the existing memorial garden? Hopefully if we should ever move whatever the tribute is will be moved as well as they did when we moved from HR.

You can't blame the player for taking an offer of more money. That's why the rules need changing. In an ideal world I'd get rid of agents, have all transferred handled by someone like the PFA. Agents aren't thinking about the players best interests or their development, they're thinking of their %.

I'm tempted to download the last couple rather than wait for them to air on BBC2. Interestingly the next series is about hurricane Katrina so will be very different to this series.

Pretty much. It's all part of the EPPP. That got forced through when the PL teams basically said if FL teams didn't vote for it they would hold back funding.

But demand doesn't exceed supply. The rules got changed, basically via blackmail, to allow the PL to sweep up a huge number of players for next to nothing. So thats what they do, they sign everyone they can and then charge other clubs to take them on loan. If one of them comes good and is a...

What a load of crap. The way it was being hyped up and then it was just another run of the mill episode.

Its getting ridiculous. Players are leaving before they've achieved anything to go to 'bigger' clubs they haven't got a hope of playing for. These clubs are moaning that players aren't getting competitive games - stop signing so many so early! Think we might need to look at a new form of...
