What?! CTFC potentially not getting a fair price for Michael Duff?! This would definitely be a first.

Shade

Probably need to wait 5 years for prices to come down. If we get any building work down now the materials will cost a s#!t load more than, hopefully, a few years time...yeah I'm being an optimist at the moment.

Shade

Good luck to him. Still a little surprised we let him go.

Shade

Hey, why don't we all play worst case scenarios... :lol: Back in the National League for 2024/25. It's already sorted. I'd just like to point out that Michael Duff was on nobody's radar on the day Gary Johnson was sacked. IF and when Duff leaves, there are plenty of young ambitious managers out ther...

Shade

Quite a few Barnsley fans showing their ignorance on twitter, that's for sure.

Starting to feel ominous. The search for a replacement would at least be fairly early in the summer so a new manager could hopefully get in some players that they would want...

Shade

Exactly, they must have asked MD if he has any interest before giving permission, otherwise they'd have just said no, not interested, bye.

Shade

Neither side are used to that kind of occasion, or playing in that kind of heat, and it showed. Rangers were the stronger side as the game went on but yes it was very short on quality all round. Lots of players desperate not to lose, rather than desperate to try and win it, it seemed.

Shade

So Derby more than likely have a new owner, BIG money thrown at Rooney to stay, BIG money thrown at players to come to Derby, HUGE season ticket sales. One season in the third tier in front of record crowds with the media dripping themselves in a Rooney / derby orgy and they're back in the champ, n...

Shocker. Makes you wonder which “young” Aussie that us Poms are fond of is going to be next.

Shade

Happy days. A player MD wants and one less player we have to replace.

Shade

We don't need the photo, I'm sure it's etched into all of our memories

Shade

Another club with a fascination with thugs as manager, after Joey Barton.

Cardiff. Imagine getting rid of Pack and replacing him with Adams.
Cardiff had Perry Ng alongside Pack last season. Adams and Ng the post cheating midfield since Barcelona 2009-2011.

If ever there was a vomit inducing midfield...

Shade

Watching the play offs and it still rankles me that the horrible little man in charge of Luton had the nerve to call Whaddon Road a horrible little ground, just because we snatched a late draw against him, when you look at the state of Kenilworth Road. Pillars everywhere, seemingly permanent scaffol...

Cardiff. Imagine getting rid of Pack and replacing him with Adams.

Shade

No mention of police ever being involved, so what could he have done that is so bad that he was, basically, sacked and is labelled as a potential danger to women? He obviously fell just short of the line when it comes to police involvement, but where is the line?

Shade

Have anyone seen the video, which is circulating on social media, FGR players drinking beer in Cheltenham and singing "We hate Cheltenham We hate Cheltenham" Irony I assume, given they can actually drink beer in Cheltenham, rather than just smoke meth in Nailsworth. But hey, our players s...

Shade

I just cannot see a Championship club buying a 28 year old who has 2 years left on his contract and, before last season, had scored something like 25 goals in around 150 games in League 1 and League 2. To be honest, I'd be surprised if anyone buys him, given his contract and the fact he's hardly bee...

Shade

We have said before in terms of points, but MD (along with Micky Moore) is worth an extra £1m on the budget. IE, he could make a £2m budget seem like a £3m budget through good singings and then his management/coaching. When he does go, hopefully we can only hope we don't get a Gould/Allen to replace...

Shade

It's very odd how Dale Vince and FGR, despite being a man/club of the people and one of the greatest human beings alive/bestest most greenest club on earth, seem to have so many problems with people and other clubs.

Do you think they'll even bother trying to get MD?

Shade

Nor me. As said above, was great when he was great, but had too many games where he was anonymous. MD needs players that will show up more often than not with a 7/10 performance, rather than one who sometimes is a 9 and then gives half a dozen 4's. No room for luxury players on our budget.

Shade

Excellent piece JP. Andy Williams has had a good and long career in the Football League and could do a job for League Two club next season Some interesting views by Andy on Paolo Di Canio! Anyway good luck for the future, you did your bit for us. Ditto. Shame we didn't get him a few years earlier b...

Derby fans too. I kind of hope Sunderland fans have to face it as well...

Shade

MD said there will is a small increase in the budget he has been given.

Unfortunately for us, the extra income has to subsidise more than just the budget. FGR's money man can cover everything else for them.

Shade

Thought both second legs were pretty poor overall. But that's nervy play-off football for you sometimes, where the whole season rests on 90/180/270 minutes. Sometimes it is tight and tense and nobody is taking it by the scruff of its neck, sometimes a team falls apart (no, I'm not thinking about us ...

Shade

The good thing on Pack's side is he was never blessed with an abundance of pace and seemed to glide around, so he should be able to keep going for a good few years yet at a similar level, I'd have thought.

Shade

Bhollocks

Shade

If Gloucester City were, one day, to climb into the League and the same division as us, do you think our average home gates would considerably improve due to the local rivalry and history between the clubs? I think it would stir a fair few, young and old, into supporting their local side. It would n...

Terrible news for our recruitment chances given there are other L1 teams in the region with bigger budgets now.

Shade

Scunthorpe are awful anyway but 7-0 with a team of kids is a joke. Good job they're going out of the League otherwise they should be getting a slap from the EFL.

Shade

FGR's pitch invasion looked embarrassingly small and pathetic at Mansfield. Big title game and looks like they probably only had a few hundred there.

Shade

My god Bristol Rovers...needed to better Northampton's win by FIVE goals to take 3rd place and they've actually done it. 7-0 up to Northampton's 3-1! A terrible day for football, FGR and the Gas/Barton getting promoted. Assuming they actually get to finish the game at the Mem and the EFL don't end ...
