Westy results are of course ‘everything’ but when you’re not in the running for anything but failure (relegation) other stuff is significant. I accept that pound for pound tesults are poor but I don’t think even if pep took over they would be any better. We’ve not been turned over by anyone and...

OK, right, lets look at this squad again with some nice retrospective hindsight and now the season is basically over we know what we've got and how we've done and can think how things might shape up later in the summer when we kick off agin in a new division. My overriding feeling is we've kept...

Good topic. I agree with Stretchy; we do have a decent L1 side. And that's basically why were not doing very well in the division above. Big question is can we keep them together/afford to retain them/pursuade them a season in L1 is a 'good thing for their career' and offer hope we'll be on...

I just don’t get it. The cost of relegation to what he owns you’d think would be greater than the cost of investing in its growth and development. And u can still rinse a few quid out along the way if you really must. But now? Now what has he got? Hes a multi millionaire (someone I met through...

really don't see that this group of players has any chance of competing at this level. from the start of the season my jaw dropped at the sale of Waghorn. one of the most stand out 'bum decisions' in a long story of bum decisions made since ME Took over and offered hope, a hope so cruelly...

yup, he's got something to prove back there too. we've been discussing him on other threads of course in the context of 'hurst was in for him, he didn't come, then PL got him.' His interview as published on The BBC website states he's basically no longer playing football for the money, he's in...

Lads I’ve voted in your poll; no punishment. No idea what the fuss is about, maybe someone can help me here? If u allow people to come watch your training sessions u would, wouldn’t u? If it was behind closed doors and they trespassed to gain access for an unfair advantage maybe a sanction is...

Agreed scowey; there’s a lot of people getting a semi on because a football manager has shown he can use PowerPoint slides and some data to inform his tactical decisions instead of just screaming ‘get rid of it’ and ‘knock it up and onto his ‘ed, son.’ You’d think he’d reinvented the wheel...

um, no. that's not even remotely close to what I said. im simply not persuaded that Hurst trying to sign Collins in anyway implies he was at all competent or capable of managing ITFC. Lets move on shall we. we have Judge and he is a good addition along with Collins they are the stand out...

Ha! yes, all I know is that we ended up with Hurst and Harrison....and we are are where we are...

Hurst totally screwed up. End of. I had hope he would make the step up. He didn't and he signed really crap players. My hope was misplaced. Saying he was 'in for Collins' means nothing; my cat could tell you that signing a behemoth of a defender with a decade at the top level and 50...

Waghorn just scored a peach fir derby v soton...,(sigh).

50 players? Wtf? 50 and yet so few are capable of playing at this level. You only need 24... As to who to ditch, really depends on what they’re paid. I’d like to free up money fir wages of new better players by ditching as many as poss across the whole squad. I’m not sure who we’ve got who...

but we won. **** me, we won a game of football. we have new players, winning is everything. players not playing will want to play. their careers aren't looking great leaving a ****e, relegated side so if you're a competitive, professional sportsman which id hope anyone who has a professional...

Interesting thread Bigal! I was only newly born when Town were conquering Platini's St Etienne side and going on to win a major European trophy. I came late to the party. I dont really know why I support Town; common sense would have been for a 9 year old to fall in love with the Man U with...
