I'm surprised this thread is still going. However regarding appeals and whether you can have several being right or just here's my own experience. While not the same seriousness the principal is the same: Many years ago I was prosecuted for serving alcohol to non members of my club. I faced...

Astute, well there is a lot to consider and I don't want to make this thread any bigger than it is. Otis has alluded to some but to answer you on a couple: She went back to the hotel the next day to collect her handbag. The reception told her she was with two footballers last night (she did not...

It was for the best - yes. What I said back then was he should be given till the turn of the year then see much against many others on here. Ultimately he had to go and the timing was correct. As for Evans I'm not backing him more to the point I'm trying to get across the fact that we all...

So you want to judge his character now? According to you I assume? Who sets that standard? Do you know him? Like I said we should not be making secondary judgements.

People serve their time for their mistakes and society must accept that. We should not be making secondary judgements ourselves. The law that put him away is the law that let him out a free man now. He is entitled to follow a career path of his choosing. Morally some will have a problem and...

Looking at the fixtures we seem to have a reasonably tough start on paper and then at the turn in January where teams look to push on the fixtures look startlingly easier just at the right time. Of course no two seasons are alike in reality and Swindon for example might be a disaster this year...

Connor Thomas is a very good talent. he has suffered at the club in recent times but I think we all will see Connor come back to life under TM this coming season. Liverpool had a eye for him and since then he went backwards and lost confidence. I would expect an about turn on that under TM...

Apart from number 5 thrown in for a bit of added fun, the questions are very relevant. It has nothing to do with what players we yet bring in to the club. Either TM is one of the top managers or he is not? Whether we own our stadium or not it's all about our facilities compared to everyone else...

Blackpool don't have a pot to piss in. By facilities I'm thinking strictly football. (best stadia?) The idea of these questions are based on facts we know with no correlation to what team we might field apart from the last question which is an early judgement call.

1. Which teams have the best managers in place? 2. Which teams have the biggest budgets? 3. Which teams have the best facilities? 4. Which teams can call on the most support? 5. Finally - which teams do you think will be in for a shout at promotion?

I know plenty who have renewed season tickets who had said they would not and changed their minds rapidly on TM's appointment.

Fans have been starved too long. They will return as soon as some success takes place on the pitch. Winning at home and vying for promotion (something we have not done in decades) will see regular crowds of 17/18k or more at the Ricoh even in league 1 because there will be a sense of us finally...

I said 'etc'. You want me to name all the great footballing nations? I'm not talking about England's playing record silly but the fact they are a great footballing nation and the home of football and tbf a major powerhouse. Not to realise this means you must still be in your teens or you base...

It's a house of cards waiting to collapse. The most surreal thing is that Blatter himself continues to believe he is right to remain in office when all this corruption has gone on in the organisation he heads. Any other person holding such public office would be forced to resign but here we have...

Can't understand the mentality behind such decisions in particular Big Sam, McClaren and Clough. What do clubs think they have a god given right to achieve? I felt Derby were certs to get it right next season and may have just shot themselves in the foot. All three won't be long out of work and...

A proper manager.

This is exactly it. We have become desensitised in this league and forgotten how poor it really is. If he can replicate some of the form he ended the season with and given that it will be with his own squad he brings about, then top 2 is even achievable in my opinion. Chesterfield top 6? Come on...

TBF it's in his fans message. He says clearly what we should be aspiring to and his length of contract intimating what we should achieve by then. I take it from that message he expects promotion this year. He has received permission to dump a bunch of players and replace. That's sounds like the...

Was it ever in doubt? I'm sticking money on promotion next season first time of asking and I'm not usually a betting man. Now will all the fans please come out and give it their full support. Forget NOPM and start helping this club get back where it belongs. If we help to do that then the...

I think there is a deal to be done at the Ricoh. I accept Rugger and footy will be played there and will need to run side by side but joint development around the site and low peppercorn rent combined with a share of revenue 365 days would be a very good deal, perhaps even buying into ACL. This...
