    Football salaries

    Without arguing as I can see what you are referring to but to be frank, yes they do have an easy life today when compared to the rest of us. There will be pressures in all walks of life and money alone can't always fix that. Stephen Fry is rich and successful and has had his ups and downs but...

    Football salaries

    You kidding? I see where you're coming from but really? Perhaps a decade or so ago but today? Rooney 1 million a month and he will struggle after he hangs up his boots in some way? Come on this isn't the 80's.

    Football salaries

    ...and when this new super contract with the TV rights kicks in next year what will happen then? Already their are grumblings about their level of pay. Lose 6-0 and yet post a pic of your super car and fans will react rightly so. It's all out of whack I'm afraid. Our Jimmy was legendary in...

    This was my era . what was yours ?

    This is a time I remember well. I often wonder what ever happened to all these players? I know we hear things and legends day brings in a few but most we don't know about. Ernie Hunt, Jeff Blockley, Neil Martin to name a few.

    Promotion push

    I have stated we will make the play off's. I agree the second spot is most likely a bridge too far. But as stated elsewhere Derby looked runaway leaders last year and collapsed late on. I don't believe Burton will. They seem to have a strong core to their team and have pretty much led from the...

    Promotion push

    Spin it anyway you like Stu but it is what it is. I'm not saying the larger club has any right in fact I've said Burton will go up! They had around 4k at their last home game. The fact is the bigger the crowd and noise generated in support of your club often helps. Why ele do managers always ask...

    Promotion push

    Amazing how some folks on here spin what people say and twist what they read. Or is that just a lack of intellect? I said JOB was shipped out and he was. Whether he wanted to or not, this is not a free for all where you decide your next move. He is contracted to CCFC and the manager makes that...

    Promotion push

    I think we can still do it based on the team changes we have made recently. JOB has been shipped out as not needed. There is a lot of confidence in the squad again. Back bone has been established and we not only are capable of scoring every game but we have a better back line now. I'm keeping...

    Promotion push

    I have taken a look at our remaining fixtures and those of what I would call rivals and see we could yet make a grab of second spot. It will not be easy and requires us to not have any more bad runs. Hopefully we are over those and our new players have bedded in and we are a stronger and more...

    Play-offs

    I meant we will get autos. Think we will get 2nd spot. With the recruitment we have made and letting JOB go to Scunny it demonstrates exactly our intent. It took a few games to get the newbies up to speed but I truly believe we are set for a good run in.

    maddison deal

    The pity of it all is i think Madders will be in the same league as us next season. Not a move he should haved chanced imo. I think t he football club considered it a srewed move to get circa 3m and loaned back this season plus fund the squad to ensure our promotion hopes.

    As a fan of CCFC for

    Yes but who is managing them? You just can't tell. If it was all about the size of wallet then why is the 'tinkerman' having so much success atop the premier league with a side largely the same one Pearson left them after a remarkable fight to stay up last year?

    As a fan of CCFC for

    There are some amazing comments on here that lean on such a negative side. Leicester, Bournemouth and others have all shown how quickly it can change. To assume like some we won't be there inside 25 years is a ridiculous statement. We could yet find ourselves promoted this season and I see that...

    Mowbrays Chopping and Changing

    But we have the players not involved today who were the ones who gave us our great season until a few weeks ago? Why change it so much? Surely lameries, Vincelot, Fleck, Job with Murphy and Arma should still all be starting? That's the more technically gifted side that got us results and had...

    The gap widens or closes today...

    Yes of course. That's a given but when he was missing before Murphy hit a hat-trick. It's the pace and fervour of the side we have had all season Otis that seems to have changed too much and we have become a different side. we need to get back to what put us here and stop showing respect for the...

    The gap widens or closes today...

    Well i was sort of proven right today but we ended on the wrong end of it. had we won we would have that parity or thereabouts because those top sides were not all going to win and so it proved. While Burton lost and Wigan drew others won and we lost. The only positive was the sides that lost...
