You’d think there might be a bit of introspection from the leagues

Not his remit. It’d be Whelan or the finance director.

How do you know it would be better if we sacked him!!

Denmark outside of Copenhagen is fine. Beer was like £4 in Aarhus a couple of years ago.

That is the angle that I’m half-enjoying. I’d scrap FFP and PSR, it’s not like it’s prevented Everton from ****ing themselves over. Still funny Rick Parry got announced at the Blackburn game and was summarily booed

Things change - so why can’t we have better owners? Why aren’t we competing for trophies again?

I don’t feel jubilant at avoiding a points deduction. We’ve been a disaster off the pitch and and escaping a deduction through loopholes just feels hollow. “One Nick De Marco” or whatever is just wank

You can say this for every negative about the club. It's bottom of the barrel stuff. Before the current ownership people could get general sale tickets without being forced to buy memberships. We still won trophies, we went up, we went down. We were still a football club.

Had some at an Italian restaurant in Castleton on Saturday, it’s excellent. It’s paradoxical the Italians make such good beer and have so few places to drink it. That’s why I think the best continental Irish pubs are in Italy.

Ayew is good at protecting leads we’ll never have, winning fouls and Reid is really good at… at… err at…

Valencia’s attendances are toss. Unless they get cheaper which I doubt - what’s the point?

I can't seen us breaking ground in time tbh. Top just isn't smart/shrewd/competent enough to see it through.

I liked him at first but he wears thin so quickly.

Exactly as I feared. Cooper is a negative manager and he’s not going to take the handbrake off any time soon. With a points deduction looming he was always the wrong manager because he doesn’t have the capability to take a side to 45 points. If you have him this Brighton side I think he’d just scrape 50. He’s more Pulis than Pep.

Clueless Cooper out

If they were 1. Bundesliga clubs and they wanted to start him we should have done it. Bellingham and Sancho blossomed playing over there.

I never said that he should be starting. A few minutes isn’t good enough at a crucial juncture in his career. Needs to play and if it’s not here it should be on loan.

Jury is out with BEK but I like the look of him. Edouard and Buonanotte, fine. Abdul doesn’t count. The rest of our business is shit. £8m for uncle Ayew, £25m for Matty James, 31 year old Reid on a 3 year deal. Terrible job of shifting deadwood as always.

Hawkstone is so so good. Had one a few weeks ago in Wyggeston house and couldn't stop thinking about it for days

I guess there's more clubs willing to take on loan players as the window is closing but the best loans are sorted early. Barnes joined West Brom in July that year, really helps a player settle when they have more time on the training pitch as well as moving from home.

He's genuinely so wank at his job. Strategically - Scattergun targets in non-priority positions Financially - We overpay, poor negotiators, lost lots of players on frees Operationally - Silva debacle The glacial speed at which we do things is a big problem. I wish I could just wave a magic wand and we had an average owner, board and DoF - it'd be a marked improvement.

Alves could be a mainstay for 15 years or make us shed loads of money, stunting his development for the sake of cover is short sighted. Get him on loan or play him, he's not a backup.
