just had a worse transfer window than several of our relegation rivals. So I guess the next best thing we could do is appoint a Director of Global Brand. We had our global moment 20 odd years ago when one of Htoo twins (those guerilla kids that led the Christian armed revolutionary group in Burma) was filmed wearing a HTAFC Panasonic home kit. The "global brand" has been all downhill since that moment, because funnily enough the rest of the world don't give much of a fuck about shitty little division 2/3 clubs.

Puts our current injury crisis into a bit of perspective I guess. Wish we didn't have an injury crisis though. We had a player injured while on international duty this weekend. That's a first! Frankly the international duty os almost a first.

Reading have a points deduction already and apparently if their dysfunctional owners don't comply with the EFL order to deposit 125% of wages into an account they'll just keep on deducting every month. They might be working towards the earliest relegation in league history.

Warnock is going to manage what will likely his last game at Town on Wednesday against Stoke. He wouldn't comment on why he's leaving and said it would all be announced at a presser on Monday and he wasn't going to comment any further. This is the really chilling part. Nathan Jones was pictured at the game today š„¶

General consensus yesterday was this Cheltenham side were as bad as any weāve seen in League 1, probably the worst. Weāve hated playing them because for a while now they have seemed keen to make the game as sterile as possible, scuff a goal and then waste as much time as they can. Without Alfie May the scuffing a goal element seems to be out of reach. For all that, I find myself feeling sorry for this dude. I thought about putting this on The Wisdom of Gaffers but itās too tough a watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2t0GhQmVCQ(The only goal in their āforā column this seasonās n was an og)

that narrows it down a bit! Neil pissed off the yank by saying our lack of action in the transfer window was an effing joke. Apparently it is Darren Moore.

I couldn't care less about Wednesday. Chansiri was throwing silly money about for years there and they were either unlucky or never good enough for promotion or also, perhaps, he was just a clueless cunt and then went the other way out, and my club did their bit. I've never met a Wednesday fan who doesn't have a massive club entitled attitude - so fuck 'em. If Chansiri doesn't blink and starves them of funding until they go into admin and get a points deduction. Then I'd propose awarding him the most amusing oligarch of the year award.

just relieved it wasn't 7 or 8 nil. had no intention of watching the game without covering my eyes and ears and necking a load of temazepam to protect me from the trauma. The bench today shows that Warnock's criticism of the Yank owner's disaster of a transfer window was spot on. The wafer thin squad was just 3 or 4 injuries away from not having an xi with a half decent chance of being competitive at this level, 4 injuries later here we are and with a hopeless, inept, dull as fuck, yesman manager in place of Warnock to boot.

looks like Neil could be returning to QPR. Worst decision by my club since they sold Marcus Stewart to Ipswich. Just as we were getting some momentum going they sack him and bring in a clueless dullard who bores the players to sleep with cliched gaffer jargon. Then Uncle Neil goes to a relegation rival - I can already see what is going to happen here. The Yanks have been a pox on my club.

― no gap tree for old men (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 29 October 2023 16:33 (seven months ago) link
oh he has to be handled, like really he was loving that he was asked to stay on as manager and I think he expected to even carry on until the end of the season, despite all his protestations about his infirmity and talk of going back to quiet life in Cornwall. You could see he was mortally butthurt and also somewhat surprised when he announced the Yanks had sacked him.
― vodkaitamin effrtvescent (calzino), Sunday, 29 October 2023 16:38 (seven months ago) link

he's a natural busy cunt, he still goes cycling and does his book tours and goes on Vegas trips with his Sharon. He'll probably end up dying in some relegation club's dugout, his last words some expletives about the ref.

We started the season incredibly well then crashed and burned, partly through injury crisis in a too-thin squad, partly because we blatantly didnāt recruit enough strikers even though we sold our best forward to Rotherham for a million quid, partly because (as at Charlton) we have been robbed by refs / cheats. Mostly our own stupid fault, but weād need to get a lot more things badly wrong to get relegated. I did hear some idle terrace speculation yesterday about whether Colin might like a south western projectā¦ but we havenāt sacked a manager in 20 years and I donāt think we will start now, especially since we scored a point against the mighty Lincoln City yesterday. Anyway Iām only really posting to mark the departure of Barton, J. from Bristol Rovers, thereās a man you wouldnāt want at your club.

I hate transfer deadline day and know all about too-thin squads with injury issues, it's one thing being a selling club but 20 odd players out and 3 in at a club that just about stayed up last season is not really pushing on. It's probably our fault Rotherham had the cash to nick your striker after we paid something around 3/4 of a mill to them for our big flagship signing, Wiles - who has been unfit looking and consistently underwhelming.
