To be honest I think a lot of our fans have been a little unrealistic in their thoughts on who the next manager should be. A lot of them didn’t like Carlos Carvalhal despite the two playoffs, blaming him for overspending and long term injuries we’ve had. Then the guy after him Luhakhy was a...

I agree with everything you’re saying.. there’s no scope to change the squad this season as the window is shut and they’re older than a lot of teams. There’s also some quality in there, and we lost only 3 from 18 under Bruce so there’s enough there to flirt with the play offs. Next season should...

I know there’s a scenario in which it all goes pear shape if he decides tomorrow he can’t or won’t fund it anymore. But to my mind it’s not the ‘sunk costs’, ‘share issues’ or ‘directors loans’ that are a problem in that scenario. Surely the point of these is that the money has been put into the...

You can’t be in debt to yourself.. Chansiri owns 100% of the club and all associated companies. Debt becomes an issue when it’s third party.. This guy seems to use the terms ‘lent’ and ‘putting in’ interchangeably.. it’s a non issue. Either we get promoted and he gets his money back, or he sells...

Your numbers are all correct.. it’s a scandalous amount of money to lose running a football club. But most of the division are doing the same. We basically went for it between 2015-2017.. and we didn’t sell any players despite having 8 figure bids for the likes of Forestieri. As for the...

To respond on Wednesday’s financial position.. it’s not as bad as is made out. In the Championship, nearly half of the division are on parachute payments so if you’re not, to be competitive you need a wealthy owner. We have one.. but under FFP you’re only allowed to lose £39m over 3 seasons...

I doubt there are many managers as dishonourable as Bruce.. just saying, if it was any of us, what would you do if someone offered to multiply your salary by 10? It’s difficult to turn that down particularly when you’re not already wealthy

Haha.. well if it’s true he turned down WBA then maybe he feels he can wait for the big move. It’s ballsy and shows confidence. Surprised he turned down Huddersfield for the same reason, but that could be if he knows Wednesday are also interested. Who knows.. but this is reminding me of the...

Wednesday fan here.. think our support would be happy to see what he can do at Hillsborough. Not sure if it’s on or not, but the interview he gave sounded very similar to one Steve Bruce gave whilst our manager, and a week later he’d gone to Newcastle. We were paying Bruce 40k a week.. have a...
