    Dimmu reacted to Foreveram in Paul Warne   
    You made your mind up early into the managers reign and nothing was going to change your opinion.
    Lots of people had doubts when he was appointed, me included, it was the same when Jim Smith was appointed.
    I didn’t voice my opinion, I preferred to wait and see how it played out.
    Some had a very low opinion of him but have since changed their minds and have stated that, and that’s fine.
    No one knows what this season will bring but we start with a clean slate and I am prepared to give the team and management my full support. You ?

    Dimmu reacted to YorkshireRam in Transfer rumours   
    I'm not sure this is true, in fairness. He does break a fair few stories. Amongst the swathes of wannabe journos online, you can tell he does have contacts and more credibility than most. Add to that the very nature of business in football and he will invariably report something that doesn't end up happening, because things change fast. He can report something he hears at the time but if it doesn't end up happening, he's still not necessarily wrong...

    To be fair he clearly has contacts with clubs & agents, especially in the North West. He has been reporting transfer news for years, I doubt he would still be doing that if he knew very little.
    You have to remember that clubs & agents are well known for 'leaking' stories in the press for various reasons, whether the story is true or not & whether it comes to fruition is another thing.

    90 minutes? I played getting on half my career there before retiring at 53.
    My best season? That would be 98/99. The team had a perfect record. Played 22, lost 22. We averaged 8 or 9 goals against every game. It could easily have been 20 a game, hence a good season. 8 or 9 a game good? IMO, yes. I'll explain...
    I was 44 at the start of the season. The average age of the side was about 50. The back 4 were all good players but the left back, at 52, was the baby of the defence. The central defenders were 56 and 58 and the right back was 60. We were ahead come HT in a few games, level in some and, even when behind, there was usually just the one goal in it. Around the 65 to 70 minute mark, all 4 were done for. That was when the deluge started. Kept me on my toes but you can't stop 'em all although I did stop a lot. I would think a good 80%+ of our goals against came in the last 20 minutes of games. The opposition teams were all 20s to early 30 in age.

    Why wouldn't you? You should dismiss everything that you are not familiar with! It's fun, give it a go!
    It's also ingrained in internet user behavior etiquette, so you definitely should.

    Have to agree, scrap it.
    It's already more expensive to buy the refs when there are four of them, never mind a VAR room full of officials as well.

    It would be great to sign Adams and even better if he wouldn't be signing of the season.
    I hope for a playoff push with more exciting football and as a bonus, more financial stability.

    Finishing around the box is unreal, see the Burton winner. Is that what you mean? Always wondered what he might do floating around up there instead of getting run past in the deeper role.  Such a quality player and person, but I think his time is up.

    Reminds me of the Everton fan who once phoned 606 on 5 live and said: 
    "we're a one man team, we just haven't signed him yet"

    Dimmu reacted to Andicis in More restricted this year   
    Again though, we aren't more restricted in any way. We're less competitive due to parachute clubs etc, but we have way more room to spend now with + 10 mil of revenue, and the Championship rules allow for more leeway anyway. 
    We're not restricted on revenue, we just don't generate enough. I think the terminology of being more "restricted" is just simply incorrect. We just aren't big fish in a small pond anymore and are middling revenue wise so will be middling in what we can spend.

    In a different role, I think he still has a lot to offer. A attacking role in a midfield trio without such demands on pressing/defending that he had in Warne's team, and he should be still flourishing. 
    Good luck for the lad.

    Dimmu got a reaction from Jackal in How much do you think we have to spend on actual transfer fees?   
    Without any figures, I'd expect it to be low and used to Adams and 1-2 others with small transfer fees. Add multiple loans and around half a dozen free transfers and we should be around there.
    Just a guess, but I'd expect us to use the "transfer" money like last season: sign so-called free transfers, and pay higher wages for more quality. Free transfer is a misleading term though.

    Those creative positions are certainly the best use of loans in my opinion. They're the ones that cost the most money and we need more youth/pace there too.
