Watched S2 of STID.

Like teh Donald Stewart guy. Think he genuinely cares and clearly was as frustrated as anyone with the defensive attitude of play (they called it at 1-0 in the final, saying it wouldnt last).

Didnt take too well to his mate/ceo? whoever was running it regularly. Seemed a bit up his own arse.
 
Another club furloughing their staff, despite multi-millionaire owners.

As Tory as the RS these cats. Oh, and they LOVE Brexit.
 
on episode 3, good gawd please tell me one of these women in the ticket office gives this michael scott wannabe a black eye.

If someone would indulge an ignorant American, when y'all refer to a club being big or not big, what's the main basis of judgment? Is it the club's age, or number of titles won, or the amount of time it's spent in the top flight, or its annual gate receipts, or its global reach, or what?

That's a very good Q,and I suspect you will get a number of different answers.
 
Another great series. The owner seems a good bloke but shows why they shouldn't be anywhere near the footballing side of the business. Felt sorry for the manager. He wanted Grigg but even said 1.25 million was too much for him yet the chairman had to play bertie big balls in his pursuit of him. His mate was even worse than the clown in the first series. Very entertaining.
 
There's a bit where he plays some music off his phone when he's changing the the song they come out to and talks about "when I used to DJ". That was a really difficult watch

Didn't quite understand how it went from 1.25m to 3m.
1 goal in 20 league games this season

in english football everyone is a big club.

I'm an American and I can translate for you. You know when you go to 7-11 to get a fountain drink, the smallest size you can buy is a large? That's dunno, Tranmere, sure its a large and a big cup, but its still the littlest cup, they are just compensating for something. Then there is X-Large which is also big but bigger (Sunderland), then Big Gulp which bigger than XL (say SOTON). A double gulp which is bigger than Big Gulp (Everton), Then Double Gulp XL which is bigger than Double Gulp, we are talking like 96oz of soda w/ about an entire pound of sugar now (Man Utd). Finally there is just Diabetes in a cup (Liverpool).
