Doesn't say much for them, if they are banking on Thelwell and Purdy to turn their transfer fortunes around, not to mention a poor man's Roberto Martinez in Russell Martin. Heady days for the Gers.

Frank might get it. I'm not sure about him, a lot of the setup there is very specific to Brentford, where it clearly works. If they got the right guy at the right time then they could do a lot, as much as I dislike them. They have a lot of the...

I'm not sure it's right that we don't take risks, it's more that too many of the risks we've taken haven't paid off. There's a bit of a boring, easily disproved, notion that we only sign players with PL experience but we've signed players from...

Would like to hope that becuase it is stake fault we would still loose money but eould still get some because it is them breaking the deal. Hopefully because the first season at the atadium we can attract a big deal

If the club can drop Stake without forfeiting the sponsorship money then I'm sure they would/will do it. The bigger question here is why almost every club outside of the elite has to rely on gambling sponsorship in the first instance. Yet again...

I think a Super League is inevitable mate. Also think a lot of multi club operations will be grouped and offered to the same league. In our case TFG can offer Everton, Roma to the league. It won’t just be about football clubs it will be...

I feel little bit more positive about us getting some form of European football in the short-term. UCL will be a push, but EL is possible. The difficult thing is maintaining it. This is made all the more difficult with the coefficient rankings...

I don't fear a Super League. The concessions to the super clubs are enough to keep that at bay at least in the short to medium term. The Premier League and a Super League cannot co-exist. The former would cannibalise the latter, not to mention...

Yep. People still think the likes of Bilyaletidinov or Fellaini were big money signings - they weren’t, even at the time. They cost like half of what even Leeds were paying for players a decade earlier. There are now 8 super wealthy clubs, with...

Don't know anything about him but the fee would be in the ballpark for us and might be in the category of a risk worth taking. You can have all the data analytics (and that plays a role) but at the end of the day someone on the transfer...

Without doom-mongering, it's very sobering to see City and Utd spend so freely and in amounts which will probably exceed the total we'll spend in our "brand new start" Thought this before, but even if it's £100m that's less than what Chelsea...

What annoys me mate, is you see Utd, City, Chelsea - who had huge allowances made for them already drop in some cases close to 100 million in players. Come June the 30th the likes of Wolves, Us, Villa, Forest and Newcastle will get a letter in...

Meanwhile, at Premier League HQ there’s an alarm, the sole purpose of which is to let Richard Masters know if any Everton employees buy Tesco Finest.

I suppose extending that analogy the top clubs can afford more tickets and so the odds are less against them. If we find a 20 goal striker from Belgium, Brazil, or anywhere then the odds are that they'll be sold the next season unless we're in...

Your right its a huge lottery. No way Lpool thought Salah would have been as good! Or that Nunez would be that bad…although when your a Lpool, City, Chelsea…even if your new striker is awful. Some team will buy him because he played for you so...
