I dont want to go too early but Cashin is better than Maldini, Bobby Moore and Igor all rolled into one.

If indeed that proves to be the case , ths EFL should instruct them to pick up their toys, get back in the pram and go seek shelter back under their respective rocks. 

I like your Train of thought . Steam on Pal

The signings of Bielik and Jozwiak are exactly the right sort we should be looking at in the future. They are exactly the right profile, young, good potential, right attitude to improve, high resale value, internationals. This is what we should have been doing 6 years ago.

Yes.

You do know he’s had serious health issues don’t you? Somethings are bigger than the club.

Backs to the wall Gentlemen , dont shoot until you see the Whites of their eyes..........

Is that set in concrete ?

If we are allowed ........im holding my breath, when i turn blue kick me up the Khyber !!   

You've not been liberally giving our lads the eye again have you Angie? 
I thought that restraining order had stopped that sort of thing.... ?

I know a few on here have a blinkered view of Rooney. Some didn't want him here in the first place, some didn't want him as manager which is fair enough, we're all not going to like/want the same players managers. 
This is only my opinion.
When Rooney first took over fully we were playing better stuff than under Cocu and we pulled away from the relegation zone.
Then we were hit with injuries to key players which basically ripped the spine out of our team.
Then CKR started carrying an injury but had to play still and we could see he wasn't 100% but we had nothing else.
The results/confidence started to decline and the squad we had after the injuries, any manager would struggle with. Our bench was full of kids.
In my opinion we can't berate Rooney for his final 15 matches when McLaren had the same problem in the season we failed to reach the playoffs, with a far superior squad and everyone was blaming the injuries to our key players in the run in. You can't have it both ways.
If Mac was manager last season he'd have had far far more slack from certain posters than Rooney has had.
Luckily this forum is a tiny percentage of our fan base and those who just don't like Rooney is even less.
I'm not happy with how thing went last season, not by a long shot, but i'm a realist and I could see what shape the club is in.
To put ALL the blame on Rooney is ridiculous imo.
He now has a good pre season to install his playing style on the squad. He also needs to get his players in.
THEN, if after all this we are still close to relegation, i believe he'll walk.
 

Me too ??

You must be new around here ?

Is that set in concrete ?

We should try Lidl and look for a Japanese wet suit !!

Boss Hogg !!

You'll hear the bang all the way from Middlesbrough when Gibson's head exploodes.....

I have mixed feelings about this season. I am dreading the final chapters of  EFL’s vendetta aimed entirely at getting us a points deduction. It sickens my fair play gut .. they, for whatever motive, want to kick us while we are on the floor. It’s toxic. We have gained no advantage from anything we may or may not have done. The almost visible hatred that emanates from that organisation is palpable.
That said, we are where we are, with a thread bare squad but some talented young players mixed with some old soldiers. There’s a kind of spirit that can come from that. Just maybe some of the young ones really can step up. Maybe Wayne is genuinely learning on the job and will find some magic. I don’t think for a minute we are looking at play offs but I think we might just find something that stops us being whipping boys. You know what … adversity can just provide the spark that makes a team. Jeez and with the restrictions being dropped .. I might just use my flexible friend for my season ticket .. I’ll tell you what, whoever is in our team, if they turn up and fight then I am right behind them. 

What really stings and gives life to the allegations of a vindictive nature in all this, is the “the EFL reluctantly” .. why reluctant ? There was some wrong doing, the Independent panel gave a sanction .. so that’s it .. why “reluctantly” ? It stinks as an attitude and is fundamentally wrong on so many levels. You have a system where there is a complaint and a system that provides for an independent panel to adjudicate but somehow the The body that represents the clubs, that drew up the system in the first place isn’t prepared to accept its outcome in an appropriate manner .. Why would you appeal or even reluctantly accept a verdict given by a system you designed ? The independent committee is designed to give a balanced view, to remove the partisanship the EFL shouldn’t be showing in any case , but clearly is. 

Pretty sure the club said that they'd already prepared alternative accounts as a pre-empt to  being forced to do so buddy. Hopefully they have them ready to go fairly sharpish as it seems the EFL remain determined to damage our prospects in any way they can. Can see them taking months to analyse the new submission despite it being a very straightforward process. I think those who were adamant there's been no campaign waged against the club might be revising that opinion in light of the most recent disclosures and the EFL actually verbalising how 'regrettable' it is that they've been unable to relegate us. Seems assertions of paranoia were somewhat wide of the mark ?‍♂️

Cheers for that wigfalls,it's lucky we have people like you to determine and police our choice of interest,topics and opinions on here.
I certainly wasn't aware that Martin had left before you brought it up,I am immensely grateful to you sage.

And won't it be fun to see THEM squirm  .... what goes round comes round , can't wait 

And I believe EVERYTHING i read in the Sun !  ???

Brilliant absolutely brilliant
