What chance do the FFP rules have of being upheld if something as relatively straightforward as the fit and proper person test can be challenged so easily. Its a joke. FFP has no chance whatsoever of being successfully applied.
Got an e-mail tonight from Mr Knight along with everyone else who wanted shares. The club is trying to block the sale.
Following the 28 day pre-emption period to existing shareholders regarding the proposed sale of some of my shares to yourself and other Albion supporters, I have now received...
I agree about his poaching close to goal and especially his heading ability in that position. He is clearly good in the air so how come we haven't managed to coach him to win his share of headers against central defenders in the middle of the pitch. He doesn't position himself well, doesn't use...
This is not as straightforward as some would make out. I played football for Royal & Sun Alliance in the West Sussex Leagues at what is now the Holbrook club. They ran 5 football teams, a rugby team and a cricket team out of that site (two football pitches, 1 rugby, cricket square and hockey...
Sunderland have 12 games left but 6 of those are against clubs in the top 7 plus three 6 pointers against Palace, Cardiff and Norwich. They will struggle to stay up.
Sat in line with this on Saturday in WSU i thought it was a clear yellow. Greer realised he was isolated against an opponent with more pace with him. He went into that challenge with no intention of letting the opponent skip past him. When it became apparent that this was going to happen he body...
In the transport article from the programme this Saturday the club is claiming they hire 28 buses on a match day. I normally use Mithras House and the stewards there have said in the past there are 4 on that route. I can't believe that the racecourse use more than Mithras which would leave 20...
Agree re JFC. Has gone backwards in the last two years. He is not a bad player but he shows no signs of becoming the type of midfielder who could help get us out of this division. Two years ago he did look like he would become that type of player.
Wickham is definately better than half a Buckley which is what we seem to get these days. Having said that i have just checked his appearance record on wiki and it is pretty good over the last three years. Has he really made 19 appearances this season???
Not quite right I think. You can take two lump sums form different occupational schemes as long as the pot is 2000.00 or less and two lump sums from Personal Pension arrangements as long as each pot is less than 2000.00 (there are other conditions with these). If all your pension pots are worth...
Absolutely. He was very good yesterday and the same against Reading the week before. He sees a pass (and makes the pass) so quickly (certainly better than Ince or Bridcutt) and the weight of his passing is excellent as well. He works well with Ince who does more of the physical side - but he is...
It looked like a sitter to me. Keeper was on the floor and he had the whole goal to aim at. Ball came to him at a decent height to head as well. Apart from the miss he had a decent game though. Some of his link up play was good and he got about the pitch well. One of his strengths though is NOT...
I think he peaked in 2010 / 2011. Apart from his goalscoring record being better then, he was more mobile and didn't fall over in a big heap every time an opponent made any type of contact. Although I have to admit this was the last time he was played alongside an appropriate strike partner so...
If we continue to play a single striker (which I think we will) then Barnes is at best the second choice striker (and probably behind CMS when fit). He can also play a left sided midfield role but IMHO he is behind at least Orlandi and KLL in this position.
Lets say we don't sell him, made him...
