    He had a clutch of 'up and coming stars' on loan from Chelski/Liverpool etc and but for ''floodlightgate', we would've (of) beaten them.
    Derby will be pleased, as they will get approx £4M compensation and so help them in their battle with FFP!!

    I wouldn't say getting to the Championship play off final in your first ever management job is a failure, but at the same time it doesn't warrant a move to a big club. If Frank thinks with his head and not his heart, he would stay at Derby and get more experience.

    Isn't Jose linked with Newcastle?

    The money they spend again, and all his Chelsea loans for players who should have got loan moves to top flight leagues. He would have been told to gain promotion.

    What a festering heap of garbage / baloney / scheisse.
    As far as I'm aware, each team plays all the others twice, once at home, once away.
    So for this prat to suggest wrongdoing and start sobbing into his dictaphone is,
    well, basically pretty pathetic.
    Thank Christ he doesn't have a regular column any longer. <grr>

    Edit - I seem to remember somewhere that his fiancée was partly responsible for persuading him to come to NCFC.

    PS - I've just been reading the https://www.edp24.co.uk/sport/norwich-city/going-up-magazine-1-6052024
    GRRRR8 intro by DF and well worth reading on its own. Gutted that I'm committed to something on July 25th, as I'm sure this event - https://tickets.canaries.co.uk/Page...=GGzqk8JXQ4zzOK8jPTS2ROwlqpP7Eolg8cIe2MhJoJ0= will be HUGELY popular!! <ok

    I see Pogba is prepared to go on strike to force a move to Real Madrid.

    Steve Bruce anyone?

    BAH!!!!

    Nice little documentary/interview with Jack Wilshere for anyone interested. Talking about injuries and things away from football that have affected him.

    How the hell have Birmingham sacked Monk!? He's done amazing work!

    This feels just like sacking Rowett for Zola! That's mental.

    I even thought Monk might leave because of a offer for a much bigger club.

    Wow.
