Re: The #LUFC Breakfast Debate (Friday 19th April) How far will £36m in parachute payments stretch

A bit concerned about what might happen next season if we don't go up. It doesn't sound like we have a lot of money. I know we will generate quite a bit of money from players that want to play at a higher level. But it sounds like much of that money will be needed to balance the books. Chief of my c...

Re: The #LUFC Breakfast Debate (Tuesday 16th April) Why no 'B' plan

That is the real valid issue of sacking a manager. There has to be a better replacement. At Championship level - answers on a forum postcard with suggestions. I cannot envisage the 49’rs sacking him after this season if we fail to get promotion. But to use the immortalised words from Saint and Grea...

Re: The #LUFC Breakfast Debate (Tuesday 16th April) Why no 'B' plan

Of course Farke should get a second season. Most of us weren't predicting top 2 after the preseason turmoil. He inherited quite a mess and has done a great job of sorting it out. The squad flipped dramatically. And there were several internal issues to take care of. I fear if we don't go up that the...

Re: Middlesbrough pre match chat

You don't score as many goals as Piroe has if you are a goalscoring midfielder. He's not a traditional 9, but he's not a 10 either, he's more a hybrid of the two imo. When we signed him the Swansea Phil Hay said as much whilst praising Piroe for his scoring, hold up and link play in the right syste...

Re: Archie Gray

Wasn't sure where this should go but just thinking. Remembering how important Klich was for Bielsa with his runs helping to make overloads and give us a numerical advantage in attacking areas (not to mention his goals and creativity). Vrancic did the same for Norwich. Summerville gets doubled up on...

Terrible shame that we've been wasting away his career the past 3 years. We really should have let him go on loan and brought in someone else.

Re: Joel Piroe

Primarily he is a striker. Nobody scores 41 goals over 2 seasons coming from deep, playing as an 8 or playing as a 10. Only a player in the right place at the right time can do that and that is where Piroe's strength lies. Most of his goals for us ealier in the season were a result of him finding h...

Re: Blackburn Rovers Post match discussion

Not going up could be a total disaster, we owe so much money the squad would be smashed to bits. And no guarantee the venture capital fund would help us rebuild long term, they want a return on the investment not 2,3 years in the money pit that is the Championship. Farke was always the short term s...

Re: Blackburn Rovers Post Match Discussion

I am nowhere near as angry as i was after the Sunderland game. DF has done a remarkable job getting us into this position, rest PB now for 9 days, bring him back, play like today, and we'll go up. Gnonto was subbed because he's coming back from injury and had run himself ragged, injuries occur most...

Re: Blackburn Rovers Post Match Discussion

I'm a bit beat up over this last week. Don't want to start knocking the players or the manager. Any other time of the season, we'd have won these last 2 home games, Hard to watch right now.

Re: Blackburn Rovers Post match discussion

We look devoid of ideas, especially against spoiler teams. I keep harping on, we have two central midfielders who can't score & create goals. We have no one running into the box from deep, such as a Bowyer/Howson type. We've had 27 corners vs Sunderland & Blackburn & haven't even look l...

I was so bored after the first 45 minutes, my anxiety levels were down to nil as the writing was on the wall. I didn't watch the game and have no desire to do catch it now. How was the boredom level. We both sat through the George Graham era. There were plenty of times I wanted to take a nap. I was...

Largely missed the last few days due to a few things going on. After a poor result, the table basically looks the same. And now 4 to play. The Dallas news is another big moment. Another permanent fan favourite and club hero. A workman that the rest of us can really relate to. At a point, when he was...
