ilkleyram got a reaction from jimtastic56 in Why are we so grumpy
Semantics this may be but ‘lowest league placing’ is more accurate. I would still argue that the three lowest points of our history (in my time) were when Maxwell had to bail us out, when the three amigos were in charge and our recent times in administration. At each of those points there was the real possibility that we wouldn’t have had a club to support and I’d still take 8th in the third tier over that.

ilkleyram got a reaction from MadAmster in Wayne Rooney
Ah but that was BHA without competition for Cash’s services. IF Birmingham (for example) were to bid that amount in January then Brighton would be forced to match it. The competition can be ‘manufactured’ of course.

Louie Sibley. Always seems to me to work reasonably hard and got a good instinct for a shot or a pass but lacks a wider football intelligence that the likes of Will Hughes has, or IMO Max Bird has. There are times when he, for example, fouls someone or gets booked unnecessarily or gets caught out of position, when I think why on earth did you do that?
I do wonder whether that’s why a number of different managers haven’t picked him regularly because on the face of it he’s got all the attributes to be a good player. Perhaps they don’t yet trust him enough.

Perhaps There (should be) a kind of hush all over the forum because For all we know we’re Hurting each other. On the Rainy days and Mondays many of us just seem to want Yesterday once more. It won’t be long before we’re Top of the world again. We’ve only just begun after all.

ilkleyram got a reaction from Adslegend in After administration how long did you think it would take
Depends on which part of the club you mean.
The academy 3 to 4 years
The first team 2 to 3 years
Behind the scenes - ticket office/admin/recruitment/groundstaff etc 1 to 2 years
IMO we’re on track in all
