Absolutely ridiculous really The 3 relegated prem teams have been far far too good this season If it wasnt for ipswich all 3 woulda gone up
Yeah, even upto xmas, I predicted the three relegated teams would go back up. Ipswich spoilt my party, but they were fairly close. I think the playoffs have shown that actually if Acun did gamble in the January transfer window to get promoted, he was misguided. In fact, I suspect we are a few seasons short
Is this right? Leicester & 1 of Leeds/Southampton will be promoted to the Premier League which will save Premier League £103m in parachute payments to 2 of those Clubs. That £103m will be split between Premier League Clubs after a vote by Premier League Clubs
All 23 clubs in the Championship should refuse to play for 4 weeks... all of them would be docked points, so no loss there, ... the backlash from Sky could not be handled by the the EFL and the Premier League...
Yeah that’s where I saw it John I just hadn’t seen the info elsewhere so wondered how accurate it was
Well I don't know the bloke so I am only going by what he's said in public, but I would imagine he thinks if only we had managed to turn a couple of those home draws into wins we would have been 4 points better off and in the playoffs. If we'd played to our potential we would have had a fair chance of beating any of the 4 teams in the playoffs, based on the first leg performances. An opportunity missed.
Financially yes but we gave Southampton, Leicester and Leeds a run for their money. It's just that WBA and Norwich employ managers who got them into the play offs through their very 'pragmatic' approach. I'm glad they both lost because they play an awful style which is crap to watch. Cannot imagine supporting either of them and having to watch week in and week out. They would get hammered every week playing like that in the premier league.
Dortmund centre-half Niklas Süle. They’ve got a Champions League final soon ffs. Acun would be livid if he owned Dortmund.
One of his former coaches came out and said he practically lives off kebabs and pizza and always had this diet. Insane.
Two josh murphy stunners has oxford 2 up in the l1 play off fina Lookin forward to playing oxford in the league again
.... and that we were in 6th at the time. Brought in Omur, Carvahlo, Zaroury, Pandur, Sharp, Ohio, Giles .... yet we end up in 7th. How misguided of Acun to think we could make play offs!! Yep, big opportunity missed. 2 wins out of 11 games at home since 1st January (yep, really - I had to triple check as I couldn't believe it was really that bad!!). And the oft quoted 3 wins out of last 13 games. Wow, that is absolutely dreadful!! Not hard to see why Acun started asking questions and chose to pull the trigger!! . But good possession stats #thestatzthatmatter #trusttheprocess #theuneducated. Thanks Liam.
No doubt Bolton fans will happy with their 66% possession today at Wembley. Not as happy as Oxford fans with their 34% possession and 2 goals though,
