Decent for 30 minutes without really being threatening. Then towards the end of the first half we let them take control. Then second half they pressed us everywhere and we fell apart. Shambolic.

Exactly the same here

Why do we keep wasting our money on these light shows? They're dire. Just some lights going on and off. First time we did one I thought it would be something brought in to be amazing with lasers and coloured lights etc. It's literally just normal lights going on and off.

Please let Shaun Dyche end up at Forest. Hilarious the self-imposed disaster that's come for them following the owner's treatment of Nuno.

Yes but director of finance, director of football, director of whatever all fall under the CEO. The CEO is their line manager. She is responsible for all.

Ok, now we're talking. Like the look of this. Time for our new striker to show he's got something about him to be here. Love that the manager started the season with one midfield, gave them all a decent chance, saw the error of his ways and put it right.

In fairness, TJB is right. In any other business, the sort of failure we've seen in recent years would see the CEO leaving. She might not have scouted the players or picked the team, but CEO is ultimately responsible for everything under them. That said, a football club isn't a normal company and the role of other clearly has a big impact on decisions that would sit with the CEO elsewhere. It's not really clear what Whelan's role was and how free her hand was to do it.

Maybe just don't post anything to get yourself banned. Having lurked for a long time before finally joining, pretty sure general chat threads historically have seen many on the other side from you banned. All I see on social media is reform types moaning about how they can't say what they want (despite doing it at the time and having the vast majority of UK media on their side) and talking about how down-trodden they are. Honestly think right wing culture at the moment is to basically be a bunch of victims complaining about how everybody else is getting something they aren't.

Stop creating service stations that include either burger king or McDonald's, Waitrose or m&s, Greggs, Costa or Starbucks etc. Sick of visiting them and they're all generic branded nonsense. They don't need to be like Gloucester which is pretty expensive for many people, but just have good, normal wholesome food cooked on site and sold at a decent price. TBF I feel much the same about the towns and cities of the UK which mostly could all be each other with all the same shops etc. Let's have places that feel different from each other.

Honestly don't get why it matters to anybody where somebody else's heart is. Why does anybody have to love where they live? Why can't they just live there and do their best for themselves and their families? We have an utterly dire society in the UK. And that isn't the fault of anybody other than the brigade that hates everybody that isn't like them.

Unless we're willing to tax the richest far more for pillaging our economy we've been managing decline for a while.

Denis Wise looked a good signing on paper

Academies take hundreds of kids. Absolutely get a little excited, who wouldn't, but also be realistic that it doesn't mean much unless they're still there at 15/16. They'll go through a reassessment every year and can get dropped at any time. Enjoy it as an opportunity not all kids get, rather than treating it as a pathway to fame and fortune. Stay grounded, keep your kid grounded.

In fairness to Top of went awry because we were really close to breaking that top 4 and he did the thing all football fans beg for, which was to take a risk and try to reach the unreachable. Obviously that meant we overextended by not selling that fateful summer and with PSR ramping up at a similar time it meant a bit of a gamble for the club. Let's face it, relegation was on nobody's lips at the start of that last Rodgers season, in fact Rodgers himself was the only person warning we hadn't done enough to refresh the squad, which hit hard combined with the earlier gamble. But who seriously wouldn't have wanted us to push that summer a few years ago, v when it really seemed we were on the edge of becoming a regular fixture in Europe. It's gone wrong, yes, but because of ambition and a chairman actually willing to take a risk. Id much rather that than what most other clubs have had.

I think everybody thought he seemed like a great signing given what he'd done with England u21s and, to a lesser extent, Gillingham. I knew from the first few signings he was going to be calamitous though. Couldn't believe the rubbish we were spending our biggest ever transfer budget (at the time) on. And even when we were 2nd a decent way into that season it was obvious we were being carried by what MON had left behind.

Did it to me once but I think the original post has been deleted which might have been the cause

Fair enough, my point still stands generally, but maybe that wasn't the right place for it 👍🏻

As soon as somebody pulls out the goals and assists stats I switch off. Football is not just goals and assists.

The telegraph really is utterly abhorrent these days

So long as we don't give him another contract it's great we know he won't be here by the end of July either way. Just get him out.

Rich people don't just make money from their businesses like sole traders would. They have diverse investments and access to financial vehicles you and I don't.

Nominations for the prize closed in January 2025, the same month Trump came into office. Surely the people forced to put out these soundbites for Trump must understand how ridiculous he is.

I'm not sure there are too many people at the top with this kind of attitude. You work your way to the top of organisations to effect change and to lead. CEOs are responsible for business strategy and thought leadership. If you don't get to lead in your image then you leave.

A world council would need to be the general assembly, not the security council.
