Im not enamoured about the club or manager at present but we do have to give him sometime. The decision has been made and so we have to follow the project

Turks that is the most amusing post for a long time. What happened to the 'In Les we trust.' and Ralph knows what he is doing lol I do agree what you put though, it is about time we as fans stopped accepting that we are happy to take mid table and actually go out to win something. I want to watch us win something with my daughters and grand daughter, not them seeing having to accept 'over achieving by finishing 8th.' nonsense. The only way to get long term fans is to get them enthused by supporting a club that wins things, not producing players for other clubs to win things. Mid table is fine if you win a cup of course.

apparently it was a great result as they were in a league above them last season

Long had still a way to run and a defender was also coming across.Whilst I agree that Long would have won the chase, I'm not sure he is that good at finishing when through

Gemmel, it is not like you to be so judgemental after one game. The lad was obviously a tad nervous in his first game, and also the pressure is on him to be a goal scorer as we haven't much else. Give him a chance, I don't believe he is an Henry but we need him to do well as our midfield ain't going to score many, and Long is hardly prolific. I saw the highlights and thought that Target put in a few decent crosses that Pelle would have loved.

we are back to players seeing that sulking gets you a move. If the club really did want to set a precedent and let a player rot until the contract is finished so that it warned future players then we should have done it some time ago. As the clubs policy is to develop and sell they are happy for the player to look the bad guy as they take the income in. on this occasion I think the club would be doing the right thing, Fonte is 32 and deserves a chance at the top table. If it was a lower team then perhaps not, but the chance for him to play for Man Utd, sadly I think it will end like RL. I think Hutchinson at Sheffield We'd is decent. He is not tall but reminds me of a young John Terry, brave and committed

I assume you are alluding to Cortese, the 3 players were? Osvaldo Ramirez, and? Im sure there will be one but i cant recall. I thnk it is hard to criticise a Chairman who backed the manager with money, Cortese would not have chosen the players, but les, Mitchell and of course the manager. You have to consider that whilst it was ML and his money,NC was the man who convinced Marcus about the great invesment. Leicester had of course been on a championship winning run at the end of the season previous. i think also there was talk of us being interested in Vardy.

I thought Colin Murray had walked in principle as the Sun (Murdoch) had bought in to Talksport

If Phil was there he wouldnt remember what colour bikini but he would be able to slip a golfing story in about it Lol

No, it is her business and she gets a great return, but excuse me for not worshipping the ground she walks on.

Yep and 31 1/2 hours until we start the post mortem lol

As Del boy would say 'its a nice little earner, Rodney'

I suspect you have under estimated. As the year goes on there will be local inflation that will also impact on your other costs, not just the dollar purchases. Im glad you believe its worth it, Im not sure the majority who voted to leave really were prepared take a 200k+ hit. Sadly people who voted remain also wil have to take such medicine.

Isnt it odd that now the vote has been made, the BBC are not concentrating their time on the Syrian refugees not coming in their boats into Europe. They musyt have stopped coming now Brexit has happened

GM, how has the commodity price inflation due to the pound falling affected you? I know that a roofing company told me this week that their lead is costing 10% more, not all will be down to that but th costs will be feeding through in a minute. Obviously our exports will be cheaper

http://www.hl.co.uk/news/2016/8/9/brexit-bulletin-what-the-rest-of-the-eu-wants interesting, and if we got away with that it could be not too bad.

I would also be happy with a mid table finish, but I find it sad that our fanbase in the main is happy to accept being also rans. We get close and then fail to invest in our achievements to push us on. It is a great business model if you own the business but as a fan I find it depressing and frustrating.

Whilst I understand why you think this, SFC will sell if the offer is right. They know it is our last chance to cash in on the player. Obviously it would make Jose talk about Cl look foolish

time will tell. If we don't get a Trade deal with the EU we have. I also had clients from Norway today and they said that they hope that we don't use the Norway way, they complained they have all the negatives and costs without any input into the regulations they have to follow if they wish to do business with Europe.

Im surprised they didn't get the nation to buy him, after all they got the stadium for next to nothing

The sick man of Europe became one of the strongest in Europe mostly on the back of being part of the EU. I do agree with the Brexits regarding the burocrats who seem to be Sepp Blatters, but to kick 40% of your business in to touch is not clever. I was talking to somebody who is very much near the top of the negotiations and there is a feeling that Europe will stall and the 2 years will be up and we will have to adopt the WTO terms of tariffs and quotas, that would be bad for our exporters. The Europeans don't have to agree to anything but leave us hanging.

Turkish, Surely you can see that Cortese is not the reason the boxes are not filling 3 seasons later. Make a decent product and the companies will come. If a company is taking clients to Oxford street instead of the full game experience they are not major players. I have taken a box in the past and found it pretty poor value, up the game and then you will see people coming on board.

Hull will be still difficult for the first few games into the season.

Lol

I normally like the kits but this one is odd. The Virgin logo is badly positioned IMO
