The very same Belgians who rinsed us big time when we bought him in the first place 🙄 If anybody had any doubts about Belgium being a schmuck League……. [Post edited 13 Jun 6:42]

Apologies if this is old news. I don’t think he is what we need at the moment. He might score a few goals for them, but not the 25 we need to finish in the top 2. |
 | Forum Thread | Championship Final Table 2025-26 - prediction at 08:41 8 Jun 2025
What you have all been waiting for, my utterly hopeless annual prediction…. 1. Birmingham 2. Sheffield United 3. Ipswich 4. Coventry 5. Leicester 6. SAINTS 7. Middlesboro 8. West Brom 9. Norwich 10. Wrexham 11. Millwall 12. Watford 13. Portsmouth 14. Stoke 15. Derby 16. Sheff Wed 17. Charlton 18. Blackburn 19. QPR 20. Bristol City 21. Preston 22. Swansea 23. Hull 24. Oxford Saints v Coventry play-off final. Which I think we would win. It is a notoriously hard League to call though, this. [Post edited 8 Jun 9:05]

 | Forum Thread | Sean Dyche to Middlesbrough? at 20:31 6 Jun 2025
Some fairly significant movement in his odds today. Let’s hope we don’t AGAIN regret turning down the opportunity to get him. We bizarrely opted for Nathan Jones instead of him. That ended well. |
 | Forum Thread | Transfer window open - set-piece specialist player and also coach required at 09:49 4 Jun 2025
In addition to a new keeper...... It's all about small margins, football. We haven't been very good at all at set-pieces since Ward-Prowse departed. Our current options appear to be:- - Manning tries to whip a ball in, but it just seems to have a random desired target, or; - Smallbone plays in a ball at 5 miles per hour which it is impossible to head in with any power We just haven't had the look of having even tried to do anything original or creative. Definitely an area we need to up our game in; again it is something which can make the difference between 1 point in a game and 3 points. I see that Georgson has left United. Could we also get him back as a set-piece coach?? I am occasionally criticised on here for being critical. However I do look to try to provide solutions rather than just criticising for the sake of it. [Post edited 5 Jun 6:02]

 | Forum Thread | Crystal Palace to potentially be chucked out of Europe at 10:03 3 Jun 2025
Due to having significant shareholders who have shares in other clubs in Europe who are competing in both the Europa League and Conference League. Ironic that their rivals Brighton could benefit from this. Interesting case, this. I have no axe to grind with Crystal Palace, but if this brings to an end the failed model of multi-club ownership, then I am massively in favour of this. |

Did we have a sell-on clause on him??? |
 | Forum Thread | Transfer window opens tomorrow - New Keeper Required at 10:26 31 May 2025
Ramsdale is obviously headed elsewhere. Bazunu hasn't played in England since his injury in April 2024. Based on his stats, his performances this year in Liege appear to have been, er, Standard...... McCarthy is McCarthy. Not getting any younger or better. Lumley is out of contract. Think we really need to look to recruit and spend relatively big in this area. It is such a key position. |
 | Forum Thread | The annual struggle of having to shift players out of the Club at 06:59 19 May 2025
Whoever the new manager is, he will be totally dependent on Spors to shift players out of the Club ASAP to enable us to strengthen. KWP, Ramsdale and Fernandes will have plenty of suitors. It’s the seven or eight others who have to go that will be the challenge. Hopefully this may be the first time that the Goztepe link will come in handy. Sell them to Goztepe. Let them be Ankersen’s problem. |
