Re: The squad in July

That's a frighteningly small squad. We need to boost that with several academy grads and make several signings. The summer wont be dull, that's for sure.

Re: New manager rumours and speculation

Ryan Mason is an intriguing one. He says he's ready to manage Spurs (he isn't), but he seems to be itching to become a manager in his own right.

Re: Season Tickets 23/24

Needle Seeing that Kia was at the game yesterday gives me pause for thought.

100% yes if Bowen can convince me he's got no influence - starting with a Kia free managerial appointment.


Well if Kia was there, he clearly still has a say in something, and that isn't good for us. FFS!

Re: Mark Bowen

I'd like to know who appointed Ince as manager and why ISTR an article at the time stating that Ince was friends with Dai and Ince came in to do him a favour - hence why when Bowen (the hired football man) went to the owner (who hasn't a fcuking clue how to run a football club and has two folded fo...

Re: Royal Elm Park - A Missed Opportunity?

But I think what's underneath it, and the way the car park is built on vented landfill that still creates methane, makes it permanently unsuitable for residential development. But the Thai's got planning permission to build flats on it. Permission for the plans was granted in April 2017. https://i2...

Re: Will we go down, yes or no?

I'm not really feeling anything about relegation tbh. The last few years with this embargo and poor handling of the penalties by the EFL have just drained me, coupled with bad owner after bad owner. As long as there's no embargo next season and we can start over and enjoy watching a new side form, a...

Re: CheLOLsea

Four defeats in a row for Lampard, doing a great job as interim Manager. That owner of theirs is fcuking them over big time with £600m spent this season on long-term contracts. That'll catch up with them in a season or two when they can't spend much due to whats already allocated against these sign...

Re: Relegation

But, we can make more use of Academy kids as it won't be such a great step up for them, hopefully. This is what I'm hoping for. We need a rebuild and we have the likes of Ehib' and Clarke who look handy strikers for that level. Abrefa at right back and some promising lads in midfield. This will get...

Re: Royal Elm Park - A Missed Opportunity?

One that's gone quiet for a while now. There's one thing that keeps irking on my mind about this development. Didn't the Thai's say the club would benefit from this financially with a constant income stream when it's built? I never like pointing the finger to someone who gave us the most successful...

Re: Season Tickets 23/24

I'm thinking about getting one again. It doesn't bother me what level we're playing at.

If we remain under this soul destroying embargo, I wont though. It literally leaves us with nothing to look forward to. We can't even enjoy the rebuilding of a new side.

Re: Will relegation hurt you?

Do people really think Dai is likely to walk away and fold a Company that owes him 140m? That he would bother to finally allow the semblance of a structure to form at the club then run for the hills at the first set-back? With relegation we are probably, realistically as close to the PL as we would...

Re: Club 1871 - the What, When, Where, How, Who & Why Thread

C1871 allocation increased for Wigan. If you can't get in, get in Y25/26 and increase the noise. We need that place rocking for this one.
