    777 Partners - Revised Poll Added 07/05/2024

    I know what you mean mate. I don't believe in any poll we had on here or social ever had 10% wanting them. Evidently, bad charlatans; As you and Esk have said, it was obvious - I was surprised at how quiet the discontent was. Maybe it was the distraction of the relegation scrap? Maybe it was...

    Their mistake was not sending me a hamper of Fortnum biscuits. I'd have changed my profile picture to 777s logo then.

    777 Partners - Revised Poll Added 07/05/2024

    Refused to meet 777 last September. Not my place. I also believed it would be lip service. A PR exercise to try and quell discontent... Afterwards - there was podcasts, tweets etc - a lot now deleted, that encouraged patience, calm. "Give them a chance" seemed the narrative. It almost felt...

    6 + 2 Point Deductions

    Not really. Sponsoring is a whole different thing to selling/buying. If USM bought Finch Farm, then yes. But they didn't.

    Summer 2024 transfer thread.

    Only 20 though isn't he. Think he's still contibuted nearly double figures for goals. For me, he progresses the ball well and we don't half need that. Bit of pace, and yes, he does go down a lot but wins a hell of a lot of freekicks and we do well from set pieces.

    Summer 2024 transfer thread.

    Not a fan? Looked decent whenever I've seen him. Pace, direct and would win a lot of free kicks...

    2023/24 Sean Dyche

    If his name was Giovanni Dichi and not Sean Dyche, he's get much less stick. Convinced if we brought in someone like Davide Ballardini, half the people desperate to stick the knife in wouldn't be. As is, it's Sean Dyche - and some just plainly don't like him.

    2023/24 Sean Dyche

    Their defensive xG (expected goals) per game was the second worst (1.73) behind only relegated Leeds last season, but this season only four sides boast a better average than the Toffees (1.41). Clearly then, Dyche evidently knows how the get a team to defend. Coady/Tarkowski had us sat 19th...

    2023/24 Sean Dyche

    After needing our final home game to stay up twice in succession - in terms of points won, we finish this season closer to europe and 22 points away from the drop. All with the chaos behind the scenes. Some effort.

    2023/24 Sean Dyche

    We were 19th in the league last season when Dyche come in, below - without Michael Keane having played a single minute that season. Here; ... Without 1 minute of Michael Keane. We were wrote off as down when Dyche come in, but later that season it was Keane who was sending us down -...

    Sad News - Our friend, Roydo

    Thanks for the offer mate - all good though, I'll get it. I'll just downgrade from Peroni and Fortnum biscuits for a month to Carling and home brand bourbons cover it...

    Thanks to @Eggs and others who made the suggestion; .... I'd have got a bigger one but they'd all gone this morning - the main thing is he'll be there!

    2023/24 Sean Dyche

    24th Aug: Jarrad Branthwaite played two lots of 45 minutes against Stoke and Sporting CP during the summer but has yet to feature for the Blues in their new Premier League campaign. It is a similar story for Ben Godfrey, while attackers Arnaut Danjuma and Lewis Dobbin have impressed in cameos...

    2023/24 Sean Dyche

    He was definitely injured/wasnt deemed fully fit - Branthwaite himself said it. Dyche said a few times he was a few weeks behind others in pre-season. When fans were screaming for us to sign Coady - others, including Dyche, evidently knew they had Branthwaite. The second he was fit, he was...

    They buy distressed assets - chaos will always be around them. Day one of them being mentioned, I was saying on here no smoke without fire and with them you can see the flames. That was as a result of historical media reports. The chaos headlines have been around forever. A Premier League club...

    The theory being 777 is just a mechanic to put money - unsecured working capital into the club.
