Do we get a fine for getting 6 yellow cards? in the prem you get a £25,000 fine - not sure if it applies to the EFL. i doubt it as clubs in league 2 etc couldn’t afford this.

Why do people take things to this level ? It’s a game of football. Is it really the end of the world if the football team you support is mid table in the second division? I just don’t get it personally. Incredible how people seem to think our owners are like chansiri or the reading ex owner all of a sudden. It’s not been great but it doesn’t deserve this level of abuse

He’s a good manager. Bournemouth have spent shed loads of money since he left there and he did okay at Wolves for the squad they had. The players all respect him. I assume you wouldn’t want him because….. ah yeah he’s English. literally anyone who’s English on this forum is immediately shot down

Would take him all day

Ah right. You not seen his record at this level? I assume you’d rather go for someone in Europe with no experience whatsoever at this level.

Personally I’d wait for Farke to get sacked by Leeds and get him in the summer. Will probably want a break first and realistically we won’t be going up this season anyway.

Was some player. How did we keep him all those years? Strange how a bigger club never came in for him.

When players are in there last year of contract they always tend to put more effort in and play there best football. the fact we are still seeing next to nothing from him is pretty concerning for all involved. will be interesting to see what his next club will be - my guess would be back in Austria on about £3,000 per week.

Just an idea but would it be a good idea to have a thread of an ongoing league table with us on -9 points. keep looking at the table and thinking we’re not too far off play offs and autos and then remembering that we will be getting a deduction. probably won’t be 9 points but at least it’s more realistic

For anyone interested this is the major injury which kept him out for ages. I’d bet my bottom dollar he’s still having issues with it. We’ve essentially blown £20 million on a crock. Rudkin https://www.physioroom.com/advice/injuries/body-part/groin-pelvis-osteitis-pubis/

Article here on Conte being unsure on why Skipp was out for so long. These things are often not properly publicised to protect the players value. He will retire by 30 in my opinion https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/mar/04/antonio-conte-calls-on-spurs-doctors-to-publicly-explain-oliver-skipp-injury

Posted this the other day but I checked his injury record and it’s done him in. metatarsal fracture in May 2021, which required surgery on a broken bone in his foot. Then had pelvic/groin injury/inflammation that required surgery in 2022. Then when he returned after a lengthy lay off, he got a hairline heel fracture which included a deep laceration and also secondary damage on the bone. has ever been the same player since.

Lol He’s well thought of.

Interesting that the top 3 are Coventry, Middlesbrough and stoke. That Coventry side is so good because of the foundations built by Mark Robins and Adi Viveash. Adi Viveash is the assistant at Middlesbrough (was manager today) and Mark robins is obviously the Stoke manager.
