TodwickOwl Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 And people still go out of their way to rip him at every opportunity. Absolutely giving his all for this club, and I'm sure he's still on the blower over there now trying to get things sorted and in place for the new season. Maybe we haven't got a manager wrapped up yet because we're waiting for a decent one on the market - let's face it, apart from Hughton, the rest are absolute dogga on our home soil. Him and his family are engrained in the club now - there's plenty of owners we could have out there which we'd be in outrage over. He's still on a steep learning curve, but is slowly getting it right Back him, back Bullen and let's get off to a flyer this weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick_Turpin Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 You have "test icle" management practices. For some reason it's seen as a swear word Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's going to take some flak. On the plus side the kit seems quite nice. But it's how the season pans out that is going to be the key to how he's judged.

We need to maximise revenue from every source - it's rare to see teams go up that aren't ploughing money in, and if Chansiri continues to plough money in he needs to claw it back elsewhere Are we supposed to charge £20 a ticket and have a team full of bang average players and remain in the mid table obscurity?

Pretty sure it's costing me £27.82 at adult price in the South. I'm no mathematical genius but I reckon that's less than your minimum.

We have had this argument so many times. Tell me why a city like Sheffield should have a football club charging higher prices than any other club in the Division?

I'm not happy with the lack of a space between the word "by" and the bracket. There's also an unnecessary space after the opening bracket . However, they aren't things I would be so pedantic to criticise in public. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you cant afford then dont go or buy a ST which is good value. I would be quite happy if all the ticket price whingers stayed away. Everything costs these days get used to it. We need the money and we make a choice if not watch it on TV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
