    2023/24 Amadou Onana

    Doesn't score much compared to Fellaini whom I thought was the kinda player he'd emerge into, i.e. gets in the way, covers ground, the odd useful goal. Like Doucs but perhaps more defensive. He's been a bit meh in terms of that 'brief', but maybe that's also coaching, team shape, tactics. I...

    2023/24 Sean Dyche

    Interesting, regrettably.

    Why was he not at CHelsea?

    2023/24 James Tarkowski

    Yeah I'm glad people are noticing this - thought it was just me. I think the 3-yr long relegation battle is taking it's toll on us now. Bunker down boys, you can do it.

    2023/24 Sean Dyche

    It was horrible. Respect to the away guys I could hear singing even in the 2nd half. This is not devil's advocate just a step-back for a sec Dyche reflects years of mis-management from BK, Mosh and the knee jerk appointments and splurges that got us here Dyche also pulled us clear when Frank's...

    Would it get worse without Dyche?

    For the record, I don't enjoy our football at the mo - we seem to have gone backwards since Nov in our forward play. Of course Sean has a part to play in that (and his coaching staff), as does confidence, the points deduction, availability of new talent, character and values of our players etc...

    2023/24 Ashley Young

    I now this is the Young thread but he's here since Coleman ironically is getting on and NP not for some reason a first choice. My point is what's going on with Nathan - he looked like he had something to offer. Once he's 'at it' Surely Ashley's a back-up that on the right deal for our...

    Summer 2024 transfer thread.

    Who is out of contract that ideally we bin and what does it add salary wise for loans? I.e. Dele, Gomez (albeit he's trying), et al.

    Would it get worse without Dyche?

    Very good point this. I keep thinking OK 75 Branthwaite, 25m Doucoure?... so that clears some debt interest... then what? I'm plucking at numbers here cos I simply don't know what our player fees are but hopefully with out Gomes, Alli and a few hangers on we'll be able to bring in some fresh...

    Would it get worse without Dyche?

    I'd take that!

    Bill Kenwright

    That's a very respectful note. I never met BK was but did note an ability to understand people and also the time he put into community projects, too. Phil McNulty on BBC alluded him to being a romantic that wanted the best for his club, that I do believe he did love. But also a failure to...

    6 + 2 Point Deductions

    In short, we're out of the drop zone with better fixtures than Luton and Forest struggling. Also Sean needs to have these lads revved up like 'kin caged lions now there's nowt hanging over us that isn't in our own hands to fix. COYB

    6 + 2 Point Deductions

    I reckon they'll got 4-5 points which we reduce to 2-3. We should also appeal with anything as per last comment above. I think we can cope with 4 pts worse case, after that I worry big time for Prem status.

    2023/24 Sean Dyche

    This. As fans the no.1 thing we can do is make GP as it was in the run-in in the last two seasons. Tricky to put a number of points on that, only that it directly contributed to us being a Premier League team despite our ownership

    2023/24 Sean Dyche

    He was literally part of relegating and bankrupting Wigan. Dyche is pushing the team through the long and painful fall out the most reckless, egotistical, senseless, delusional AND least successful period in the club's history. He may yet deliver Premier status at the end of that. Beyond that...

    2023/24 Sean Dyche

    Under Moyes I don't think we had any 'world-class' players. We had a solid coach (if cautious at times), who organised prem-quality players, with an excellent work ethic (Neville et al) and defenders with an eye for goal. Jags, Unsy, Yobo, Lescott. Arteta / Pienaar and latterly Barkley / Lukaku...
