Waggot will simply use the increased TV revenue to plug financial gaps. Let's not kid ourselves that he's going pass it on to us. It's the last thing he'd do.

FM24 incoming...

That day, and that first PL game on the BBE against Arsenal, I'll never forgot. Brilliant times.

Responsibilty vs accountablity. After the debacle of the previous January window, perhaps he should have hung around, not trusted anybody to do their jobs properly, made sure that those responsible did their bit & all the i's were dotted etc, to protect his individual accountability. Or maybe simply not got home that evening at 11pm cos he was 'tired'.

A perfect storm is brewing for ST sales. Now is the time to be creative around pricing. If Waggott doesn't see this, the floor will collapse around him. I'll not hold my breath.

Fleck has been offered another year.

Something I've heard. The Fleck signing was a Broughton signing, and was done after a failed medical.

Watch this space...

Blancmange it is then, for that Blackburn vibe (or was it Darwen?) Livin' on the ceiling.....the ever lowering Venky glass ceiling, that is.

Bolton only got 2k I believe. Barnsley the same for the return leg. Shenanigans going on between the two clubs I think.

I might well be in the minority here, but I quite like the choice of tunes these days. Baba O'Reily is always a winner for me....but I guess that I'm showing my age!

2, 3, or 4 wins out of 18. Whatever the number, it's absolutely shite.

Errrr....didn't we give someone away for a few million in January???

It's crying out for a savvy, dynamic thinking commercial team, who can figure out ways in which to take advantage of the new TV deal with smart ticket offers, rather than merely coming up with ways to defend against it. Alas, that's something we ain't got.

The same argument could be made for any club, in any season, in any league, who narrowly avoids relegation.

We'll most likely lose, Wednesday will get a point at least, and I think Birmingham might beat Norwich in front of a raucous crowd. That would leave us relying on Hull to get something at Plymouth. I'm not confident at all.

As Matty said earlier, they simply don't give a flying one. That's the top and bottom of it.

It will take more than cheap tickets to entice people back. There also has to be something to believe in, some ambition, someting to hope for. We have none of this with this lot in charge.

In the most succint way, that sums them all up to a tee. Nothing else needs saying.

Whatever division we may find ourselves in next season, we'll need at least half a new squad to merely stand still. Crap loanees returning, crap players needing potting, Sammie leaving.... Brougton will have his work cut out like never before, but going off his track record thus far coupled with a non-existant budget, disaster awaits.

I always took those quotes as opposition managers simply blowing smoke up their own arses after beating us.

No other keeper is as as bad as our two clowns.

Put the finances to one side for a moment. What do you think of the reduction in Saturday 3pm games? Do you think that's a price worth paying and fair on the match going fan? Or do you think that, once again, the powers that be are simply cashing in and thinking only of subscribions?

Let;s face it, if this guy had come through our academy, he'd have been binned off long before he was offered a pro contract. He's awful and symptomatic of Broughton.

Well said. I've been going on for 49 years, the only time I gave it a swerve was for 3 seasons or so after these clowns took over and potted Big Sam. I'm so fed up with BRFC and football in general; the season can't end soon enough so I can spend my Saturdays fishing instead. If my daughter wouldn't threaten me with ostracism, I'd be seriously considering to ditch the ST again next season.
