Re: New manager Brendan Rodgers *confirmed*

I always understood that the root of his sacking was that he told Howe he needed x amount of Pounds in the transfer window because he didn't have the right type of players a mere 3 months after spending a small fortune on 8 players. Add to this, he failed to sign the one player he really wanted bec...

Re: Rumour - Puscas

Far too much worrying going on here about FFP and how good these signings will be. Firstly FFP is something that the club is fully aware of and we have to trust Howe on this-it's not as if he is new, inexperienced or a bullshitter. Can I just add a massive +1 to this. The number of people who’ve su...

Re: Pre season tour

Very positive performance I thought, and without some weak goalkeeping we could well have beat a near enough full strength Chelsea (who I think are going to really struggle this season based on that) Most of the key points have already been made but wanted to highlight that Olise is pure class and f...

Re: BFTG - Baggies

Really good game I thought, as entertaining a 0-0 as I can remember - although much of that probably owed to the atmosphere which was fantastic. Small gripe - disappointed with the reaction to Loader both in the ground and on here after. The guy is 18 years old ffs, clearly has plenty of developing...

Re: Financial Fair Play

The eye popping thing to me is just how much we were paying Ron bloody Gourlay... Should also be noted how we spent almost £20m on 'new player registrations' (i.e. transfer fees) in the period. Most of that will have been on the likes of Aluko etc during the summer window after the play off final, d...

Re: Financial Fair Play

I can understand why we would be close....biggest squad in history, several players on renegotiated contracts and gates well down....in addition it looks like advertising revenue is well down. But to be close we'd have had to lose £39m combined in this season and the previous two. We made a profit ...

Re: CONFIMRED José Gomes

There is also the (strong) argument that the best way to defend a lead is to ensure you still have impetus going forwards. The moment you bring on a load of defenders you start inviting pressure.

Re: New Manager

If Howe hadn't have toed the line then he would have been fired. Of course he wasn't going to say anything. It also should be noted that nobody thought Zingarevich was as dodgy as he turned out to be. So Howe let us go the brink of administration because he was too scared of losing his job to stand...

It took 2 days after Stan was sacked for us to appoint Clement. It's now been a week with no manager and the rumours are we still don't have a shortlist. Glad that we finally have a competent CEO in charge. This kind of shit really winds me up. Nigel Howe is an absolute titan of of a businessman an...

Re: New Manager

Plenty of good options out there, Jokanovic would be a good appointment but can't see him coming here, I like Warburton too and he's probably the most realistic of the bunch. However wouldn't it be absolutely wonderful for us to go back to the 'Reading way' and get someone young and up'n'coming from...

Re: Nigel Howe appointed new CEO

Isn't it interesting how high profile the role of CEO seems to be now.

Back in the day, 90% of the fanbase wouldn't be able to pick Nigel Howe out of a line-up, and now some people are celebrating his return like we've just signed a 30 goal a season striker.

Re: Season 2018/2019

Managed to watch the majority of the game on a dodgy stream. It was a really good, high tempo game against high quality opposition who for the majority of the game we went toe-to-toe with. They probably shaded it but no shame in that up against genuine CL quality. Scattergun thoughts as follows: - M...
