    With the additions we have made, 100m + is quite accurate!

    With a Championship wage bill of 78m, what on earth would have happened if we hadn't got promoted?

    Bielsa is great, but how many other Championship teams were given 78m on wages?

    I have noticed that a number of the click-bait sites have been starting off stories with:

    Screen Shot 2021-12-09 at 5.12.49 am.png Screen Shot 2021-12-09 at 5.13.01 am.png

    Or similar, so I'm not surprised to see concern about wages surfacing. I tend not to think about how much the players get paid otherwise it gets me quite angry. Yes they should be paid more per week than the average person as their career is shorter, yes they are entertainers etc etc but 50 - 100x more than the guy in the street?

    Ironically that’s not Struijk’s correct position <cheers>

    Stats speak for themselves here. We need another striker and damn quick.

    And a 6 million package for the coach and his entourage. All i see is greed which is why i always want better for the supporters.

    Most of the games this season it would have made no difference if we had Mbappe up front. No service, shyt crosses, shyt passes, blunt attacks, attacks breaking down in midfield. Passes intercepted, passes going long or short

    Anyone remember Jonathan David ?

    Just scored his 3rd CL goal and 14th of the season for Lille.

    He turned us down to join Lille for 30 million Euro, so we signed Rodriguez instead

    Ah so I am supposed to remember all footballers who were rumoured to be joining us and then apparently joined another club, obviously because we aren't good enough? well, no I don't, did you see the cricket?

    Yeah, I remembered him but I was just winding Jamster up a bit but seriously were we really after him or just paper talk. We will probably never know.

    Ok but no more info please.

    Hope we won the toss and bowled as the pitch looked a bit green before I went to bed last night.

    It was overcast as well and so, without giving too much away, only an idiot would have decided not to bowl under those conditions.
