Will be ok still having him on commentary. I think Isa is a better 'presenter' these days but Aggers is still a fine commentator for TMS. Hopefully plenty of life in the old dog yet.

They may be BUT they're designed the stop clubs from going bust and losing over £1 million a week for 3 continuous years is a surefire way to ensure your club goes bust. Now the club have to address that whereas before they wouldn't have therefore preventing us from going the way of Leeds in the early 2000's or Portsmouth more recently, Rangers, or even Bury on a smaller scale.

Both horrible fascist governments whose people should be freed from them.

obviously that would be bad but at the same time, what on earth did Israel expect? You can’t go bombing foreign state embassies, it’s absolutely mad.

To be fair the club got criticised heavily when we only signed Ryan Bennett that year. If they'd been pragmatic they'd have been called unambitious. Obviously now we know that they should've been even more pragmatic. If we'd have cut our losses then we probably wouldn't have finished 5th twice, but we also would still probably be an EPL club. I don't think it's as simple as people make out.

The polls are generally accurate currently in the context of bi-elections. They are absolutely on to get wiped out and it’s hard to see that changing.

They could liquidate the club and some would still say “BUT 2016 and Singha Beer”

He did leave didn’t he? To Newcastle

I hate Brendan but they could’ve just told him to get gone at any point like Wolves did with the Spanish fella, and actually ran a sustainable business at EPL level.

Yes because European money. We basically set ourselves up as a champions league club with nowhere near enough income to fund it.

What do you mean? Brighton aren’t paying random Belgian footballers £120k a week? Fools they are.

That must mean that Villa are in a mess too then?

A lot worse

Paying obscene wages to average players.

Might as well start a separate thread as it’s different to a points deduction issue. This is horrific and borderline criminal mismanagement.

£295million losses over three years. Christ almighty. Most of it is on wages.

The two Leicester teams seeing each other break financial regulations.

Thought the ref in the Leeds Hull game was excellent and that certainly didn't go our way.

I honestly dont think he gets in a strongest t20 team anyway, especially after his CWC performances.

You will get absolutely obliterated in the premier league if you don’t address that. The only team to concede more were Norwich in 2018/19 and the season after, they conceded 75 goals in the Prem and were relegated by 15 points.

Some Ipswich stats. They’ve won 6 home games 3-2 this season and were behind in all of them. They’ve scored over a third of their goals after the 80th minute mark. Only one team in twenty years has been automatically promoted having conceded more goals than they currently have, and that’s with 6 games still to play.

I’ve just read that you have the best attack and worst defence in the league. Tremendous.

It is actually bad for your mental health isn’t it. Like I’m not enjoying any of this. Need to seriously discharge from it all because it’s exhausting and relentless and it has been for four or five years.

This is all so exhausting.

I waited until they subbed him, I’m not that stupid.
