How was Danny Ings’ relationship with Ralph?

He’d been on a hiding to nothing. No fucking chance he’ll come here.

Perhaps we wouldn’t have needed to if they wanted to re-sign/sign for Ralph.

Yeah, because doing it the previous season is exactly the same as doing so 10 years ago (and failing at other jobs in between).

Exactly. They were at the bottom of the championship when he took over.

They’ll probably have Dyche by then

Should be 5 already. 9-0 in coming?

The point Darling was making was we need 2 tax bands not 3. BR & then a higher rate, the specific rates are arguable and changeable depending on circumstances. If 3 tax rates solved anything Labour wouldn’t have waited until their last month in office to bring it in. If you read the whole of my post you’ll see I even suggested the top rate could be 45p. The scandal is more and more people are paying 40p, due to fiscal drag. My snap dragon and many of her NHS colleagues have been caught in it, yes they earn good money, but they’re in jobs that never would have attracted a higher tax rate 20 years ago.

“In the long run you have got to keep your tax rates internationally competitive, which means something like the two rates we used to have." Alister Darling…..

So it starts..l.. As Peter Hitchens says “the biggest obstacle to conservative policies is The Conservative party. The MP’s masquerading as Tories wet their pants the first sign of any flak. The 45p rate was a political manoeuvre by Gordon Brown brought in during the dying days of his administration (then 50p), and what have the clowns done? Fallen for it, that’s what. Why take the political hit & then row back (although it should have gone years ago). They’re stuck with it now, an incoherent tax band that raises fuck all in the grand scheme of things. They’d be better off raising the 40p rate to 45p, then raising the thresholds in-line. Yet again they talk the talk but fail to walk the walk. They’re now dead ducks & the Lib/dems amongst them will smell blood.

Roy Keane always says you shouldn’t judge a team or their desire in games against big clubs, they have to be on it or else they’ll get embarrassed. The time to judge them is in winnable games.

Perhaps they tried to sort it out “internally “, didn’t get anywhere, so went to the press as a last resort. Maybe there’s people on the board like you who couldn’t see what was bleeding obvious to everyone else.

What a load of bull. You’re full of shite. We keep hearing this pony about about “the end” of Claude’s spell. It’s just not backed up with facts. In May alone we drew away at Anfield, lost to Arsenal, drew with Manchester Utd and beat Middlesbrough, before a disappointing last day defeat. That’s it really, losing to Stoke & a boring 0-0 with Hull in April were the only sub par results towards the end. In April we only got beat by Man C & Chelsea but the weeks preceding that we stuffed 4 past Sunderland & Watford in consecutive away games. Since the first week of Feb our only defeats were to Spurs, Chelsea, Man C, Arsenal & Stoke. Yet you and your like weren’t happy… Customers, bloody hell…..

Last season was clearly a blip……… I don’t mean remaining unbeaten against City, but not conceding 9 in a game during the season. Ralph could well be back on track for the annual 9-0. Fucking Claude Puel & les Reed

1/50

No chance, Pep doesn’t “settle” for anything.

His “celebrations” are pure noddy. He should be sacked for that alone.

Dear god, are you for real.

How many years are you going to give him? He’s had a fucking long spell for the modern game and he’s taking the club backwards. We’re as bad now as when he took over. Blokes a fucking fraud, the back room staff took the shite last season, when the buck stops with him. Average manager bigged up by some of our deluded fan base. If his name was Ralph Higgins from Barnsley you’d be calling for his head.

I bet Soggy is a Mirror reader. Racist rag. Imagine if it was The Mail that did it, the wokies would be all over it.

The only despicable person on here is you. Calling British people immigrants because they’re not white, throwing the phrase coconut around, and agreeing with people who claim someone isn’t really black. I’m surprised you’re still posting on here. In the words of Pop Staples “take the sheet of your face boy, it’s a brand new day”.

Are we still in the EU then?

Remember he was the guy responsible for Labour’s Brexit policy which proved so disastrous for them. On the plus side, he also scuppered any hope Theresa May had of getting BRINO through the HoC.

Mortgage rates have been too low for too long. Anyone who hadn't factored in higher rates coming along the track eventually ,is a fuckwit who probably shouldn’t have been given one in the first place.

Horrendous. Absolutely appalling post. Calling a British born person an “immigrant “ because of the colour of their skin.
