Everywhere & nowhere

Generally speaking I think it's a bit daft to view a lad in his position as "holding the club to ransom" - professional football is a crazy financial environment- we'd mostly all look for the best opportunities and advise our family and friends to do the same.

I've no idea if there are any stats to support the theory but the squad we have (along with all the fitness / injury considerations) are without doubt a talented group, with a lot of experience as a team. We've seen patches of them being outstanding performance wise under Carlos and results wise at the end of last year with Jos who hadn't had much time to apply his improvements. What are the best memories or examples of teams being 'better managed' to success (like Burnley for example) that haven't needed to be bought through massive transfers?

Fisher, Darnell - probably not a winner of this competition but earned a nomination.

Thought this was going to be a top tip thread

Der der .. der der der der...der der derr Adam Reach tune of On the beach

V - N - An - C - O instead of D-I-S-C-O

Is there supposed to be any benefit to us to keep using the dugout nearest the kop. My understanding is that Carlos swapped them over for the sake of making it different but it seems to just give the away manager a more central position which I would have thought was an advantage for a few reasons. Anyone know if home teams can choose to change which dugout they use when they want to or is it something that has to be formally agreed with the league?

Adam Reach is a really good footballer - to me he's showing the same sort of signs that Kieran Lee did in terms of being a quality player. Overall we have a group that can turn this season around.

DC seems to have gone from hero to Bond villain in short time - He's probably not helped himself recently but as ever the reality is usually somewhere in the middle. From reading this thread my opinion is that Owlstalk should dispatch an urgent representative delegation comprising Asteener and Ronseal to have a frank conversation with DC about what really matters - i.e not what we can really bring to complex financial commercial negotiations, but what makes us tick as fans. Someone has said he doesn't care but perhaps he just doesn't quite understand - He doesn't seem to get that sort of input from the steering group which seems to concentrate on all the stuff that people flounce about but misses the essence.

Correct - well maybe....Whatever happens we could do with some positivity. The guys in charge are doing their best / they're not trying to sabotage the club so we could after so many years of rubbish give them the benefit of the doubt.
