      Yootha had the chance from January with his own signings to turn things around. All it needed was to finish fourth from bottom.
      Yes, Caldwell created the scene, but the final damnation was by Joyce, not Caldwell. He had enough time to get things right. And you can’t say otherwise.

        The biggest drain to a club is the wage bill – the transfer value is purely costing of an asset. The way transfers work is that we wouldn’t get a lump sum in one go anyway (a fact people who banged on about the Widschut fee failed to grasp), and I suspect the amount involved would be quite small. Better off the wage bill (presumably we were paying him Championship wages) and get someone in that is more affordable.

            He has gone to Scunthorpe.

            On Latics site now.

            Sounds like he wanted to go as well from the comments made by Cook.[/quote]
            Not interested in Cooks comments. He’s been here ten minutes. More like he has been off-loaded because he earns too much. I fear more will follow. Just what we didn’t want. More frigging change!!!!![/quote]

            Just read the quote instead of going off on one.
            He doesn’t want to be here
            It does’t matter how long his contract is for, if he doesn’t want to here then he can clear off. We have had enough of those who don’t want to be here.

              I think the issue here, as in previous seasons, has been sorting a sponsor. It would have been difficult to negotiate before the end of the season when we didn’t know which division we would be in. Obviously sponsorship deals for a Champonship club are different to those for League One, in view of the exposure that will be given.
              The bigger clubs who are in more stable positions can sign up longer term deals.
              Until every i is dotted and t is crossed in teh sponsorship negotiations (and surely we want the club to have the best paackage) there will be no announcement of the design.
              We’ll just have to be patient.

                  Younger voters favoured Corby…older voters favoured May.

                  That’s a sweeping generalisation.

                    For the majority of us who don’t follow such things, what did it say, then maybe we could pass judgement?

                      Well at least we now go into the Brexit negotiations with a Conservative-Unionist Negotiating Team.

                        I know a couple of Oxford fans. They are sorry to see him go – they rate him.

                        I’m sorry to see him go”

                          she is now representing the views of the majority of her constituents by working towards a satisfactory exit from the EU.

                          Yeah Yeah Yeah, That’s why on the 14th September 2016 she voted in the house of commons to remain part of the EU![/quote]

                          No – she opposed a one line bill which said the Government should bring in a bill to implement the withdrawal from Europe. The motion was significantly defeated on the grounds that the Government provided no details whatsoever of how that was to be done. That’s why there was opposition to the motion.

                          On 4 December, after much harrying from the Opposition, the Government produced more detailed plans in a motion which Labour, including Lisa Nandy, voted for.

                          On both 1st and 8th February she supported motions to empower the PM to trigger the Article 50.

                          So – consistently working towards withdrawal from the EU, but cast one vote which had the effect of forcing the Government to come up with some plans. I personally think that’s a reasonable voting pattern.

                            ” it being fashionable”
                            It’s not about fashion – it’s simple tactical nous.
                            To play 2 up front requires a midfield of 4. Playing one up front enables 5 in midfield. If you play a clear two up front then you will be over-run in midfield, and no matter how many you have upfront the ball won’t get there. That’s why teams play 1 upfront wih a midfield 5.

                            BUT – the point is what those 5 do. With the correct set-up at least one of them can provide support to the lone striker (effectively being two upfront) when attacking, but able to drop back when needed. At times of heavy pressure you can even have two of the midfield pushing forward and creating threats themselves.

                            Our problem at the moment is not the formation, but in the players or their understanding of their roles. Maybe with a defensively minded manager like Joyve he did not encourage that push forward. Maybe the players are too thick (sorry, unskilled) to know when to commit forward and when to drop back.

                            One upfront per se is not a problem, but you need to have the right players, and the right, clear guidance. Hopefully PC can provide that.

                              Funny isn’t it how all of these managers, with actual experience of the game, are playing one up front, when everyone on message boards know that’s wrong. How on Earth can that be?

                                Premier League Rules, section K:

                                Ground Sharing
                                K.4. No Club shall have or enter into a ground-sharing agreement in respect of its
                                Stadium unless the agreement contains a legally enforceable provision to the effect
                                that the playing of the Club’s League Matches at the Stadium shall always take
                                precedence over the activities of the other party to the agreement.

                                Just means that the giants cant play the same day which never happens there anyway like here as their pitch is ok and neither set of fans hates the other.

                                Crammy’s question was that he believed they couldn’t even ground share.

                                  The thing is of course they’ve been promoted to the Premier League with a -2 goal difference, and without winning any of their play-off games – in fact the only goal they scored was an own goal!
