Maybe a slight rephrase then, get rid of the high earners to mould a young hungry squad. If relegation happens because of it then the new squad will have developed together ready for a go in the championship. That better for you?
High earners? Think the problem was we had too many midfield Australian, Swedish, Brazilian & Spanish lightweights who were not up for a scrap Lack of cojones rather than high wages.
I gloss over nothing and I do not hate anything or anyone at our club. I just support when and how I can. If more of us did that and stopped fighting past battles and holding grudges we would be a much stronger club all round. Just enjoy it. Its supposed to be entertainment as yesterday most certainly was.
No it’s still ****ing stupid It’s so easy to get promoted isn’t ? The “high earners” would have gone anyway as contracts finish. All part of ehabs evil master plan Deliberate relegation Buy new players that will win the league, yes that’s a simple task isn’t it. Do you realise how stupid that sounds. Go tell Sunderland they should have won it easily by now.
I think you're way off track there. I don't believe any owner, manager or player wants a relegation on their cv, any more than they want a 50%, or whatever, paycut. It may be that the Allams viewed relegation as not the end of the world financially and that GM wasn't opposed to the idea of building his own team up but to go for deliberate relegation? No.
same here! last year I clicked it by mistake, we won. So carried on. you know how superstitious us fans can be
I always put a draw because if i put a win they get beat. I won't put them to lose because i'll never, never bet against my team.
They thought we were safe due to the January points total and thought they could offload the high earners and stay up. It wasn't planned relegation, but it was badly miscalculated - though some of the responsibility also lies with the players who lacked professionalism, respect for the fans who were still paying their wage at the time and downed-tools once they knew contracts were ending or were actively trying to engineer a move. If Ehab wanted relegation, why write to the league to void the season due to covid?
Honourable mention needs to go to moncur, his stats from yesterday are fantastic! His passing accuracy was 96%. This highest on the pitch by far.
I was impressed with Moncur during pre-season and he didn’t disappoint yesterday. I’ll be honest, if he hits the ground running and goes on a good run of form, it might be difficult for Honeyman to force his way back into the starting XI. He’s a very agile and intelligent player. Can wriggle between players and pick out a pass. I read somewhere Luton fans compared his style of play to Grealish and I think that’s fair. Similar sort of players.
He does look good on the ball, but I think he'll have to work a lot harder without it to keep Honeyman out.
Hull made a winning return to the Sky Bet Championship as Grant McCann’s men came from behind to triumph 4-1 at Preston. After Emil Riis Jakobsen’s early opener was cancelled out by Keane Lewis-Potter in the 35th minute, Richard Smallwood put the visitors ahead with a deflected strike in the 62nd minute. Josh Magennis and substitute Andy Cannon then added late efforts to wrap up the Tigers’ thumping victory.
if moncur is as good as has been suggested, and smallwood is, after all, good enough for this division, and honeyman was our best player last season and yet we won 4-1 away without him (so imagine what we might have done with him), and docherty is an engine that never stops, and we've loaned matt smith from man city - and he's already a wales international despite having never played for man city first team - and there's andy cannon who scores with every touch - that make six players all ahead of tom huddlestone. so unless we have a dire injury crisis, mr h will spend a lot of time watching football if we sign him.
