You're a poster I've genuinely missed and occasionally wondered about over a glass of whisky! Glad you're back on!

Even live subs are better than nothing. I literally can't watch it without subs unless we have it loud enough for the whole street.

Been unable to watch Ch4 for a full 3 weeks now (4 on Friday) due to subtitling issues 😞

Just a theory I have, mentioned in another thread. I feel like we might be dealing with stupid clauses in players' contracts again. Purely a hunch based on why we aren't playing Butterworth despite Mowbray repeatedly bigging him up (not injured either).

Paying whatever we owe Butterworth's agent so that we can play him.

I'm struggling, racking my brains, trying to work out why Butterworth has disappeared from the first team because it certainly isn't injury or lack of talent. I reckon he's either slagged of Mrs Mowbray's lemon drizzle or he's got some stupid clause in his contract. Do we still do those extra fees to agents or former clubs 'after X appearances'?

I reckon James Norton, myself.

It was never the money that was the problem, it was that we were spending it on two unproven strikers when we needed defenders.

Sounds right, I've probably misheard it 🙂

Fair enough actually. Maybe I've misheard and the £3m was some sort of clause, or maybe what a purchase 'would' cost.

It was to do with what our insurance covers, I think. Something a bit obscure.

Hmmm not what I was told. Also believe the purchase will be revisited in January.

How were we about to spend £3m+ on Josh Maja on deadline day if we couldn't spend the Armstrong money?

Looks like the clock needs tapping down into the right place.

Jesus! That's a flavour of match I haven't seen in a while! Probably closest is something like Walter Vs Druganov?

Noticed a few times today, Mowbray barked instructions at players and then turned away when some of them replied. Did it to Kaminski and Travis, at least.

Van Hecke reminds me of a defender. Remember them?

I've always liked that Gallagher...

Sitting JW Lower today, really noticing what a lazy lazy LAZY bastard Gallagher is.

Remember that black/blue or white/gold dress? Feel like I'm looking at both.

It can be as long as you like mate! In fact the longer the better! We like quality reads for the previews.

Absolutely, no problem fella

You seen them at RBH, right?

Not heard of Brereton allegedly crying until you mentioned it. As I recall that game, the team got some comments aimed their way, but nothing untoward, not even a 'you're not fit to wear the shirt'.

The only monies collected are everyone's annual tenners and the occasional extra donation. We'd prefer to recruit someone as a board member to handle crowd-funding purely because none of us have any real experience in doing it properly.
