    Dyche is absolutely a better coach. Steve is just a huge bloke who shouts about pies. In all seriousness i think he’ll stay in the job long enough to guarantee relegation, 15-25 point range after 38 games.

    I’m loving Engels instead, 

    And through it all he offers us protection

    a lot of love and affection

     Whether we win or lose

    and up the league we go

    wherever it may take us

    i know that it won’t break us

    When I come to call,

    she won't forsake me

    I'm loving engels instead

     

    thank you in advance for the 100+ “like” reactions this will get as I know we’re all huge Robbie Williams fans on this board.

    Summer Transfer Window 2019 (closed)

    What Premier league team will sell a good first team player of theirs? Let’s say you want Doucoure off Watford, great player and proven in the PL, would be looking at £40M+. Callum Wilson is being touted for even more than that and he’s had several massive injuries. Even the less established teams who you’d think 7/8 years ago would sell as soon as the top 4 came calling can now demand huge sums for their good players like Dunk, Maguire, Perez (£30M?!), Lanzini etc. Every footballer is a millionaire now so the desire to force through a move is probably lessened a good amount. The only times you’re going to buy off premier league teams is when the player wants to leave and won’t play or isn’t good enough for the club they’re currently at, and they’ll still charge loads e.g Targett, Ings, Vlasic. Half decently run PL teams are swimming in cash and can demand “F Off” money for their players, so “premier league experience” is something we should be avoiding if anything as it just means paying through your nose for a player who won’t be miles better than a cheaper option from a different market.

    Not quite the figures youre talking about but this seaaon appears to be that season. So far weve managed to keep the crown jewels Maupay, Watkins, Benrahma and Sawyers whilst adding some much needed steel in midfield and Jansson in defence. We are very comfortable in ffp terms and by our standards have spent a big chunk of money. I dont think we will piss the league, its very tough as you know but expect us to be right in the mix this year. 

    Yeah I think you’ve got a very good chance, consistently underestimated due to how frequently players and managers change but never panicking or looking like going down. Other clubs would have sacked Frank after he had a slow start. With some luck, avoiding key injuries and no PL teams ballsing up their window (like Fulham last year) and doing all their business in the last few days of the window and throwing money at your stars, then yeah I think you’ll be right up there.

    This is all about Rob Dorsett saying that villa fans were rioting when Bruce was appointed. The editor of MOMS, David, has a bee in his bonnet about the media telling lies and is taking a stand against sky sports by threatening legal action against them. He then wrote a 10 tweet response to everyone that was telling him to delete his tweet and get a life. I think that is called a double-down😂😂

    He needs to walk it back at the risk of a full blown cancelling.

    Derby, Fulham, Bristol, Cardiff, Wednesday and Leeds are my front runners. Stoke, baggies and Huddersfield don’t look like they’ve got a plan. Brentford could surprise if they keep Benrahma and Maupay, maybe Watkins steps up to the next level and a few more gems start shining.

    Nobody's gonna walk it,
