We might not have been pleased with only this signing in the window ….but a scenario without it would mean thomas being the only other fit full back to fill in at right back 😳, now there’s a thought

And on the flip side, I had a look at permanent signings over the last three years , there’s 18 I think and at best 5 or 6 can be counted as being consistent starters in their time here. So 70% odd of signings have been failures. Imagine failing 70% of the time at work

Totally agree. I’m aware of a ban handed down to a young lad who picked a pyro up after it had been thrown, literally landed at his feet and he picked it up for a few seconds, didn’t waive it around or anything and then dropped it all of which was on film. yes maybe naive and stupid to pick up but the police accepted he hadn’t brought it into the ground or set it off and didn’t see any reason to proceed , not only did the club ban him but they pushed the police to take action, which thankfully they didn’t do.

If it’s a specific train your ticket was booked on and it was cancelled I think you’ll be eligible for a refund. If it’s an open ticket and is simply not used by you (Ie it’s not scanned or goes through a machine) you can get a refund as it’s a refundable ticket (nice little trick if you travel and you don’t get scanned and the barriers are open, get your money back and trip for free).

Don’t forget we had garner a midfielder as the other full back too and it took us 65 mins to attack him, with him being booked within 10 mins of this…..obvious weaknesses in that Everton team which we stood off from

Bottom 7 have just 2 wins between them, accepting some have played each other but that’s 42 attempts to win a match!

Thanks everyone , much appreciated, will have a look into Berlin, cheers

Looking for a bit of advice, hopefully some people on here who’ve been out to German league games. What’s the best way of getting tickets for dortmund games, any recommendations on package companies or sites to get tickets? Cheers all.

What intrigues me about the singing section is that every time I look over from SK4 (by the way i think the singing section is great so I’m not having a pop) they all seem to be standing….why don’t we all just stand…..we do at away games…..all away fans do at our ground too.

Totally agree, we are left if true with a manager who will jump as soon as a big club comes calling, going to make signings difficult for enzo if players know he’s not committed……we’ll have to leave that to rudkin……

Has anyone been on any Chelsea boards? I can’t imagine the prospect of Chelsea fans having Maresca or McKenna after 1 and 2 decent seasons at a lower level aligns with their idea of being one of europes biggest clubs?

Aside from the plan b issue, the point I’m still struggling with is his acceptance of risk near our own goal and his reluctance to take almost any risks when we have possession in the attacking third……odd given the attacking scenario, all we’ll do is lose the ball rather than concede a goal, outside of all the tactical stuff risk vs reward seems arse about face

Not in anyway attempting to make excuses for the major cock up on our boards part but based on this half the PL on an average spend last year (assuming they spend the same or similar in the other 2 years of 3) are on course to breach financial spending as well. Just shows how the model is so broken…….in addition to seemingly people not being able to count within our club

If I understand this correctly we are not only in huge trouble this year but for at least another 2 years after this one, even with promotion I can’t see us not breaching again in each of the next two years given it’s calculated on the three year rolling basis. If we stay down (ok we can contest 2 years on the fact we were a PL team at the time) but our losses in the last year alone are 3 times what the efl allows over a three year period! We simply won’t be able to trade our way out of this.

I can’t believe they are really using this as an explanation ……it’s like saying ok I went 35 in a 30 zone but then I drove at 40 in a 50 so by the end of the trip i was within the speed limit
