It's now the Big 8, not the Big 6 if you include Villa and Newcastle, both with mega rich owners.

Punching above our weight, finishing top 10 in the PL and occasionally competing in Europe is our ceiling bearing in mind we are competing against mega rich clubs who money launder and flout FFP rules. In the last 20 years we have won as many major trophies as Spurs, Newcastle, Villa, Everton...

We could do what Portsmouth tried to do! Ended up bankrupt didn’t they?

If we had bought several more players as well as Barco, would that guarantee taking us to the next level? Anyway the club is approx £400m in debt. Compare that to Man Utd who are £1bn in debt with an income of at least 5 times ours. It seems easy for some fans to want to spend someone else’s...

How much would it cost TB to take the Albion to the next level? Does TB have the multi billion pounds needed to compete with the mega rich clubs? Some fans on this site need a reality check.

Not sure he has had a better offer yet but strongly believe TB and PB decided It was time for RDZ to move on. TB won’t break his model. He doesn’t have the wealth to sign the players that go to mega rich clubs. RDZ has ambitions to challenge for league and cup titles. Albion might win a cup if...

True, but coaches need to adapt tactics when plan A has been found out by tactical analysts working for competing clubs. De Zerbi and Bielsa only have one way of playing. The same can be said of Postecoglou at Spurs.

De Zerbi and Bielsa. Both innovative managers who have made great tactical improvements to the game. Like football clubs, they have their ceilings. Leeds kept Bielsa for one season too long and got relegated. TB and PB are not making the same mistake. Just reflect on our results so far in 2024.

I don't know whether you have booked your trip to Florence yet for this summer, but if you have bear in mind it will be packed. As mentioned on another post, you will difinately need to prebook visits to the Uffizi and Accadamia. Your channces of getting into the Basilica will be slim unless...

I take it you didn't walk up to San Miniato al Monte for a view of Florence!

There are lots of good retauants in Florence. Would recommend: Trattoria Antico Fattore, Trattoria Giovanni, Osteria Cinghiale Bianco, Osteria Del Pavone, Buca Poldo, Trattoria de' Guicciardini da i Bigi e i Birghe. You could spend two weeks in Florence and not see everything as the city is one...

Aren't bonuses for all players and staff linked to a top 10 finish? My understanding from listening to a podcast some time ago is no-one gets a bonus unless we finish in the top 10.

"We've got Knockaert, Anthony..............................................". But we didn't did we. He and several other players went on a bender. Many players too drunk to see the season out.

Oswald Moseley was anti semetic and wanted the integration of Europe into a single political entity. Perhaps some posters on this thread can explain in more detail why they feel Lee Anderson has gone full Oswald Mosely, when Anderson voted for Brexit and is highly critical of the pro...

Some people would say the politicians you have mentioned apart from Ken Clarke are centre left and really Lib Dems who joined the Tory party in order to get elected to parliament. It's a matter of opinion.

I find it odd a lot of socialists on this forum think a politician who is politically centre right is a fascist like Oswald Moseley. Just because someone is centre right doesn't make them far right or a fascist. On a scale of 1 to 10, someone who is centre left is possibly a 4 or 5 and someone...

The British culture of throwing beer in the air and drenching own and opposing fans is also unacceptable.

The 1910 FA Charity shield was a big game where the champions of the northern Football League played the champions of the Southern League League (for teams south of Birmingham)

Similar to Marseille. One hour to leave stadium plus up to another two hours for the last fans out of stadium to get on a shuttle bus
