I think we're coming for Pompey, 9 points behind and lots of games to play! It was never in doubt B4 🐏🤍🖤. #COYR

So what you’re saying is we’ve had a better start than last season? Wow!! The world is ending according to some on here yet we’ve started better than last season. And this despite not playing to the level we want or the manager wants. Talk about an overreaction from some quarters of the fan base. 
 
 

I'm more upset that NML is off to Saudi Arabia..

We have to remember Cashin could of walked last summer like others, I respect his loyalty at that point, good luck to him if he gets his move but we must not roll over and get a good deal for ourselves

Voted for Ted Striker 

Imagine B4 becoming an estate agent.
"Erm, yes mate, for this one bedroom flat in Alvaston, I'll get it on the market for offer over £1.75 million" 😂

He’s been a monumental player for us. I think those who think he’s average at this level, or at championship level, should probably give their heads a bobble. 

Some slating Hourihane is laughable IMO
If we wanted players who will run through brick walls and have constant energy like Knight for example we would not have signed Hourihane at all
He has scored some good goals and assisted quite a few as well so guess what ? if you take him out I don't think it would help.... He has never been a marauding CM and has value on the pitch for me as long as the other mids balance it out
To say he is one of the worst signings ever is a joke quite frankly....Mikkel Beck , Bob Malcolm , Derek Hales , Claude Davis , there's plenty of players deserved of that title and Hourihane is not one of them 
 

I am sure you are lovely but your post is the most tone deaf to perhaps ever grace this forum. Read the room.
There is so much wrong with the content of your post, the timing of it and thread you posted in I dont know where to start but your lack of knowledge of our club, the position we are in and the league is astounding. We dont have an "international interim" for a start.
You realise Ted Lasso is fiction?  I wonder if Chris Kirchner is allowed internet access also? 

They were allowed to blow their embargo into the water because their owner hadn’t upset the efl several years earlier.

Put in a poor performance against a good side at this level who are on a good run and you get punished, that’s what’s happened today.
It doesn’t mean the season is over, it doesn’t mean we can’t make the play offs, it doesn’t suddenly mean none of these players are fit to wear the shirt. Only a few short weeks ago we were flying and in great form, every chance we can go on another run as much as there is we can go on a bad run. 
As it stands we are still in the play off positions, we’re 4 points clear of 7th with a better goal difference and 6 points clear of 8th with a game in hand on Shrewsbury. We’ve got 2 games in hand on Bolton, win them and we leapfrog them. The season doesn’t finish today, learn from it and move onto the next one ? 

The over reactions to one loss in 16 are astronomical.
Ruling out top two - wow - it’s one loss guys. Settle down and move onto two home games.

He won’t. They have no justification for anything. Even if we had been deducted points in that season for not breaking any rules whatsoever then the other teams at the bottom would have played differently. Wycombe only started picking up points when they were already relegated which is also conveniently forgotten. They are parasites. I sincerely hope anyone lucky enough to get a ticket today refuses to spend a single penny on the ground. Remember that they only jumped in the spurious compensation bandwagon when we were in administration and couldn’t fight back. Parasites. 

You haven't answered question b) it was about being in a different season, read the question again

I think the EFL rules preventing DCFC from extending the contracts of Academy professionals on low wages and offering professional contracts to players turning 17 robbed DCFC of sufficient players to run functioning teams below 1st team level, put additional strain on those youngsters left behind, presented bargains to clubs that we owed nothing to, and potentially robbed unsecured creditors from receiving further funds over and above what any prospective owner was willing to pay (eg : if DCFC had been able to extend Ebosele's  contract on the proviso that any profit from a future transfer was split in an agreed proportion between the club and unsecured creditors, it would at least have meant potentially more money for creditors and no unearned bargain for Udineseford. It would also have meant that, in the event that the club was liquidated, the EFL would have been able to claim higher compensation from any club wishing to acquire their registrations). Their short-sighted rule also, in the case of Ebosele, meant that his Irish club missed out on a healthy sell-on fee. 
 

Unless he had a spare £50m+ burning a hole in his back pocket, I suspect not.  It was a matter of time until HMRC or MSD came calling for what we owe them.  And having the stadium and training ground repossessed by MSD possibly would have put us in a worse position.
In terms of the EFL, there's no doubt we were badly treated.  Having the ground valued by a guy that knew nothing about valuing sports stadiums.  The amortization charge off the back of an "expert" who literally did not know the rules he was supposedly an expert on. Points deductions for offences under rules that were subsequently changed to make sure other clubs didn't break them.  Various demands that the administrators break the law or they'd kick us out of the league.  Rewriting administration law on a whim to benefit the  parasite clubs.  An apparently harsher enforced business-plan than any other club has been forced under.  I could go on...

Utter rubbish your just stirring up rubbish as usual 

I totally agree that restrictions should be in place to ensure that we trade at around break even, but it is scandalous that not only are we given a budget, but that we are told how to spend that budget. Paying small transfer fees out of our wages budget can do no harm to our financial position, quite the contrary, actually.
Where is the financial sense that you can pay an old timer £250k a year but not be able to sign a promising youngster for £50k and pay him £150k per year?

That is a promotion winning performance 

Another stat to make tonight's comeback more impressive. On SSN, at 0-0 they said that Port Vale have not lost a game this season when they've scored first. I can't be bothered to look at how many times they've actually scored first this season, however it clearly suggests they're a well-organised, resolute team.
To be 1-0 down after 87 minutes, away at a side like Port Vale and still come away with the 3 points is an impressive achievement.

Could Hourihane press 6 weeks ago?
