I disagree. If they improve on this season’s performance next year they will be in demand. Selling for ‘anything’ over £20 million smacks of desperation. We don’t need to sell so the price we would put on them would be ridiculous. They’re young, under contract til 2026-2027 and in good form...

Even the US sports have season tickets, that doesn’t seem like a good business model. I do think things like the £30 away ticket cap is well meaning, but drives down the importance of ticket sales which in turn, gives rise to ideas that are anti-fan.

The system has been around for ages too - I remember sorting out Arsenal and Tottenham away tickets using the assign system. Ignorance isn’t an excuse.

We’re not though, are we? We’re 7th in a 24 team league, you’re 6th in a 20 team league. We didn’t spend over £1,000,000,000+ to be that mediocre.

Thought he looked really good as a DM, we certainly looked decent in a 4-1-4-1 shape with Sheaf and O’Hare higher up in our defensive shape. We’ll stick with that starting 11 here on for the rest of the season you feel.

Isn’t the last game of the season always an early KO? Last season being an exception because of the coronation moving all the games to the bank holiday Monday.

Ultimately, he was right about the season ticket prices. Look at the existing complaints about the FZ. A lot of football fans (at all levels) want their cake and to eat it: increased revenue in the team but unwilling to pay the extra for it.

I’m in this category, my brother has been to less than 10 games this season. I do recall speaking to a gentleman after QPR away who’s London-based and said that he doesn’t really go to games but got a ST in the hype of the playoff run. Lots of empty seats all around the FZ and I believe that...

Familiarise yourself with the concept of game state. At 2-0, we could afford to dig in defensively. When you score as early as we had done in both halves, it changes the way you play.

In truth, we battered Wolves and shouldn’t have needed the stoppage time heroics. We’ll need to be more clinical against United.

Yeah, operating costs go up and if we want to chase the dream of premiership football, that’s not a cheap enterprise. We need to do our part to fill the club’s coffers.

With all due respect, I can’t see Man U keeping a clean sheet against anyone. So we’ll get a goal or two… the question is how well can we contain you. My delusional Cov fan prediction is a 3-2 giant killing. The logical prediction is a 2-1 Man U win.

Well, I suppose we won’t be cheering for an FA Cup run next season since that’s impacted 3 or 4 Saturday 3pm KOs. I don’t really understand why people are so inconvenienced by early or late KOs on the weekend. I understand the frustrations with Tues-Weds night games because the travelling is...

We’re not in a position where we need to sell. Firstly, they’re under contract for the next 3 years. Secondly, they’re in great form - 20+ goal a season strikers tend to perform well in the Championship. If Gyokeres weren’t in his final 12 months of contract, we could’ve demanded £30+ million...

RIP. Sorry for your loss @Frankly_Mr_Shankly 🌹

IIRC, we were after an experienced CB last summer who ended up chasing the riches of the Saudi. There was the CB Luton signed (Andersen) who is a tad more experienced than Thomas and Kitching. In 2024 we’ve kept 3 clean sheets in 19 or so it’s an area to look at, be it personnel or tactical...

I agree with the club’s policy. At a push, perhaps another window for STHs to buy another ticket on their account - but who’s to say that isn’t going to be for all the day trippers/undercover Mancs? There’s not a general sale, it’s limited to people with purchase history. I could get a ticket...

That’s unfair though, why should STHs be treated differently? The points system is a means to prioritise fans access to limited demand tickets. This is fair and rewards loyalty. It’s not a system to give STHs undue privileges. If the allocation was 18,000 (for arguments sake) then it’s...

That’s the takeaway from the post? Not that our midfield’s output is worse than last season’s and even with a rejuvenated COH, the output of 7 of our CMs and AMs has yielded 2 less goal contributions than Hamer last season. Last season, those players combined for 27 goal contributions and this...

£30+ million for both. We have 3 years left on the contract and they’ve both had good goal scoring seasons. It’s on the high side but we don’t need to sell.
