Ghost of Clough got a reaction from kevinhectoring in Just let him rest in peace
They asked Gibson for advice - if Sala had been available, they would have picked up 3 extra points and avoided relegation. This is why the compensation is close to £100m more than the Sala transfer fee (£15m?). That part will be quickly dismissed, as the figure ignores the fact an extra season in the PL also results in additional costs and there's no way to prove what Cardiff would or wouldn't have spent.
The tactic is to start high and settle for less. I expect around halfway between the full fee paid and the expected legal costs.
So far, only the owner(?) of the flight providers has been prosecuted. Cardiff claim is due to the agent (who represented Nantes) was the person who organised the flight.i don't think Cardiff have filed against the correct party, but Nantes will probably give in (to an agreement) due to the potentially high legal fees.

Ghost of Clough got a reaction from Comrade 86 in Gordon the third!
2 years out injured, invluding the entire 22/23 season. 2 first team apps this season, including 75 mins in the Europa League.
He had 1 goal and 3 assists from his first 4 starts of the season (at U21 level), but has struggled for form since. This'll be due to being out for so long. A good pre-season and he'll have a very good season next year.

"A figure of 120.2m euros (£104m) was estimated after "an in-depth analysis" by a legal expert"
£119m of that will be his fees

I'm also not sure if he quite had the ambition to make it to the very top. He seems pretty happy with his lot, which is fair enough.

Ghost of Clough reacted to Old Spalding Ram in Match Thread: Carlisle United (h)
For those of a nervous disposition regards Saturday………here’s some chill medicine! 👍😁
Review of the match, pinched from the Carlisle forum.
Derby need a point for promotion and this can do funny things to you mentally. However, some pointers which may settle them down somewhat. There is staggering 69 point gap between the sides. They’re +78 ahead of us on goal difference. Home record for Derby, played 22, won 14, drawn 4, lost 4 – scored 39, conceded 18. Two of those home defeats came in August against Wigan and Oxford. They also lost against Peterborough on New Year’s Day and Charlton at the end of February – but since then have won their last five home games.
Last but not least, we have a Derby legend running our team. He has more appearances for the Rams and scored more goals than for any other club. Is he really going to be trying to win this fixture and potentially deny them promotion? Hmm…
Derby’s a decent away day, so those of you lucky enough to be in attendance - please take a second to take it all in, it may be a very long time before we “enjoy” a Saturday afternoon fixture in the sun at ground and club like this again, so make the most of it.
…………..all seems fair comment to me. 👍

Ghost of Clough got a reaction from David Graham Brown in Electric Vehicles
If you 'hypermile' already, you won't change your driving style much. The biggest difference for me was motorway driving. You can't really go above 60mph or your range will significantly decrease. That 200 mile range at 60mph won't be far off 120 miles at 70mph.

If Warne thinks we can be mid-table with having only 8 starting players, I'm not going to argue with him. Me being a bit of conventionalist, I'd always have 11 players on the pitch at the start of a game.

Ghost of Clough got a reaction from Animal is a Ram in Paul Warne
Since Ronnie Moore gave them 4 cobsexutive seasons in the Championship during the early 2000's, Rotherham have only survived in the Championship on 3 occasions.
14/15 (Steve Evans), 15/16 (thanks to Warnock's 24 points in 16 games), then 22/23 (Warne's 14 points in 9 games and Taylor's 36 pounts in 32 games).
Just a year after Warnock averaged 1.5 points per gane, Warne picked up just 16 in 28 games. The question here is how much damage Stubbs (6 points in 13 games) did to the squad in the summer to make it harder for Warne.
Warne's last 2 seasons at Rotherham also showed signs of end of season fatigue, where if the had maintained their early season form over their final 10 games, they would have won the league in 20/21 (finished 2nd), and stayed up in 21/22 at our expense (finished 23rd). The 19/20 season was cut short due to Covid.
Burnout is also something we experienced last season, picking up just 12 points from our final 10 games. Continuing early season form would have meant a 5th place finish. This season, whilst there are arguments for pushing players too hard, results over these final 10 games haven't suffered. Potentially due to having a bigger and better balanced squad than he's had previously?

Not sure I agree with this really. Of the people I chat to at the match, it's a highly divisive topic and is probably 60-40 in favour. Fans are chanting in support in the match, but that doesn't make it entirely representative of their true feelings.

51 last season and this being his 49th this season. It's the joint most he's ever played for a club. The other being Peterborough.
