Golden Fox

Firstly, I'm not a fan of that noncy pattern on the Leeds shirt. Secondly, there is a big difference between a two colour blue and yellow shirt v's a three colour blue, yellow and white one. And thirdly, I started following the club with the Running Fox, so that was our badge to me, and then as soon as we changed the badge, we had a run of this... I thought we owned disgusting shades of yellow! The designer of our current badge has admitted he took a lot of inspiration from the Leeds badge, which actually makes this the least Leeds kit we've had in 30 years...

I think, if I'm honest, I've been waiting my whole life for this shirt... I was boycotting, but the b******s have gone and broken me with this.

Did I miss an announcement on the sponsor? Does no-one external want to touch us, so we're back with KP (as in that mock-up) or are we going sponsorless to start with again while we look for the best money laundering offer?

I just don't believe this statement. And neither does any club in the top 2 divisions looking for a manager.

Martin O'Neil had been successful where he'd been previously, so, yes we were impatient. (and I was part of that: in the Kop that Sheffield Utd game). This guy is a fraud, and that Championship season, Enzo exposed him completely. The fact the next 2 seasons have seen him sacked and barely registering a win, and him refusing to even admit he has a problem have simply proved our view of him. If ever there was a time for our fanbase to be impatient, its now. We need to do a Rangers who got him out quickly enough to recover from his mess of 3rd bottom to still finishing in the top 3.

Bump!

New CFL starts tomorrow!!! The off-season is bonkers... it looks like teams try to get as many players as they can from anywhere: free agency, the Canadian draft, the International draft, college football, the UFL, off the street, to build a squad of around 100 players... and then have to cut them down to 45 in very little time. (Some player might get 2 days of training camp and then be gone!). The draft is crazy as the best players are the ones most likely to get NFL contracts, so they may be drafted and then just disappear. And of the 74 players drafted, only 30 have actually ended up on active rosters. Pre-season games are a joke, that you can get basically get a team full of players who are gone the next day. Even scoring a hatrick of TDs in a 20-14 win doesn't make you immune (JerJuan Newton)! And then obviously, teams will snap up players released from other teams for even more roster churn. The Argos started the off-season in a deperate mood after a 5-13 season, with Ryan Dinwiddie walking out to go to Ottawa and having a couple of swipes at the organistion along the way, and the team giving up 3 home games for 2026 while the World Cup is at BMO. But on reflection (and the Argos getting a shocking coaching score in player questionnaires), it felt like Dinwiddie's intensity had run its course (feels very similar to Jim Harbough's reign at the 49ers with 3 spectacular years of at lease the NFC Championship game, and then the whole thing falling apart in year 4), and new Head Coach Mike Miller brings a calm, considered voice to lead the team (and in the background, the appointments of Jim Jim Barker and John Hufnagel have added some real gravitas), while the roster has improved. (And actually having Chad Kelly fit is bigger than any big name signing). So they aren't getting much respect from pundits, but there is a quiet confidence there. So I'm excited. Will the Argos end their 1 year Grey Cup drought, or with the Ti-Cats end their 26 year drought??? - I'm ready, and so are all the teams (well 6 of them: 3 teams start with a bye, including the Argos, which is a ridiculous way to start a season!)...

Niners didn't need that in their division.

I've worked for 1 of these companies, and my current company has a project with the owner of another. Both companies are well run: know what they do and do it well. Neither would touch a football club with a bargepole, so a bit of wishful thinking with most of these names.

Clicked on this thread for a laugh and didn't disappoint. We've just had the worst season in our history. Genuinely scarring. And people giving up season tickets and not returning. But a bit of news on Enzo, and the usual lot are climbing over each other to tell us again how bad that season was. This season wasn't boring, but I'd rather never go through it again, thanks!

Only so many ways you can do the 3 stripes until it gets boring... and making it all blue makes it more boring still. This would be such a breath of fresh air. Edited to add, it would be crying out for a white version with blue trim as the away kit.

Cambridge United away please. Oh, wait, that will be in the league...

What is the best way to follow this? I can't find it advertised on any of the channels, so do you have any recommendations for dodgy streams? They really don't help themselves by not making it easily accessible.

The problem with forums like this is that they become echo chambers with people bullying others to agree with them and drowning out alternative views. Those that get don't align to the herd tend to get fed up and drift away to other places. A poll like this is good, as it is a chance to see what people think without them necessarily having to write a post and be hounded for it. And find out there might be a more balanced view across the fan base. But as soon as you get to the comments, it's more of the same: criticising others for having a different opinion. For the record, I'm all 4 out as we need a complete cultural reset, but I don't know how the politics work and who overrules who on what decisions. Top might have been badly advised but still is heavily invested in the vlub, and may still be able to provide the funds. Glover might not be as bad as the record suggests, as maybe he's not been able to do his job properly and our culture can destroy any player's confidence. But I'd like to hear expalantions for other opinions and not just have them shouted down which is becoming more and more frequent on this site.
