Jim Radcliffe can save himself a load of money and buy us instead of a minority of Man Utd. We don't expect Champions League football every season, or have an over paid team under performing, great academy...... With INEOS money we could be like Brighton or Brentford. It makes sense in some ways. Mind you if the Rao's did sell, we'd end up with some crypto bro and that Bassini in charge.

I hope you sent him for a long weight and tartan paint after that.

Pears can have a month or so of being good, then a month of being awful, then a period of mediocrity. Not 1st team quality. I wish we could sign Sigurdsson full time too, but it won't happen.

Tom Jones-Boy From Nowhere

With hindsight his form after the world cup was pretty crap but we were not to know that until the end of season. Either way, if he left for let's say £10m none of that would be used for a replacement.

I agree, I've disliked them since the Worthington Cup win. Empty vessels make the most noise.

May just survive this season, but next season........ definitely going down. The Raos are scum, absolute c__ts who have destroyed a key part of a town's identity.

We're effed. We'll probably end up around 15th, with JDT and several players leaving in summer, and then relegated next season. Whoever the current Danny Guthrie, Chris and Wes Browns are, will be the spine of our team next season. I hope Venkys lose all their money and assets and have to sell up, and live on the streets in Pune. I didn't go to the match, so the result is not my fault.

Funny how Ten Haag looked promising at one point, and is now failing like every manager since Ferguson. It's going to be a very long time before they challenge for the title.

I'm not big on golf, so what happened with one of the caddies?

I could go to this game, but I'm not sure I should. I've never seen us beat Coventry, and that includes the infamous 5-0 loss at Highfield Road, and the game with the 96th minute equaliser when Mowbray was manager.

Read an article saying Kevin Muscat is the favourite. Apparently doing well in the J League. JDT was 28/1.

Another day, another loss. Is JDT all that?

Why did we bother buying a goalie if Pears is in regardless of how bad he plays?

Same thing with that Bury owner. He was involved in something like 22 companies that went bust, and left investors out of pocket.

Barring going to India and murdering the family in cold blood, I have no idea how to solve this problem. I cannot think of a practical and realistic way of getting rid of the owners and their useless stooges. It is a major part of why I don't really bother with the sport any more as a whole.

I don't watch the tedious hyperbole machine as I don't have Sky, but the rest of my family do. I find football pretty boring nowadays as it is all played in an almost homogeneous style, with variations of Liverpool or Man City's methods, pointless nonsensical stats and players being pansies. And then you get the idiotic commentators trying to manufacture talking points to fill the time, or treating an argument between a player and manager like old grannies discussing an EastEnders plot line. It's all a bit pathetic really.

So he's gone from Iniesta to Andrews then.

Sammy to the rescue again. If we had a decent goalie on the pitch we'd probably be winning.

Fuck off Venky's, Fuck off Waggott........not so sure about JDT.

I'm not at the match, but if Pears is having another Plymouth disaster why is he in the team? Why bother spending money on the new guy? And how annoyed must he be to barely make a game after moving?

It's a win, thankfully. Sounds like a very nervous game again.

Jamal Leschelles of Newcastle is said to be joining Al Shabab. A football team, not the Somali terrorist group. I wonder which asinine pop act will be hired for the cup final entertainment? I would suggest Mayhem or Infant Annihilator for a laugh.

We need the new signings to get fit and be really good. Otherwise it'll be a poor season and JDT will be off.

That Man Utd kit is shocking.
