    Careful or you'll be banned and sent to a forum for know alls. However, evidence yet again, you have to speculate in this division to have a chance of success. Derby are paying Clements 1m per year. Hockadays contract was worth less than a tenth of that at 90k a year. I doubt if any manager since was offered more than a quarter of what Clements was. Same thing applies to Barton. His wage demands were 20k a week. Our highest earners are now on half that. What's the old saying, pay peanuts and you get *******

    Know all? Me?
    I know nothing!

    And that speculating to accumulating theory can't be right
    " Derby are in total crisis, with a rubbish coach and players", and they must be just panicking their way to promotion!

    I would also swap with forest AND Bolton. Both will finish above us.

    I know sorry.
    Just wanted to point it out after I got slammed and called clueless and an ignoramus time and again for saying a derby were likely to be promoted way back at the end of August when we were unbeaten and they were near enough bottom.
    Don't suppose that noise I heard was a penny dropping in Bardsey.

    I am very competent at being smug.

    I thought you already owed him £1k from a previous bet ;)

    Just had a look at the top6 challenge, Hull, Derby, Boro were my top 3

    It was an effort at a joke... I'm still trying to work out why you turned down the chance to have a wager with him, you should be rolling in it, £45k a week for 24 hours work, explains why you're on here so much part timer...

    The point I'm making is they both bottled it last season,no promotions happen in November.

    Only thing that happens in November is the end of our seasons chances. Bring back the old days when we at least got to January
