Re: Generic clubs in financial crisis Thread

not quite sure how it all works, but with Sheffield Wednesdays prospective new owners pulling out, there is talk of them potentially being hit with another points deduction and so starting on -12 points next season as they are likely to still be in administration by that point also saw something ab...

Re: Weekend Football

Sheffield Wednesday 31 games without a win, Watford denied them that on Tuesday with a last minute equaliser, surely must be close to an EFL 2nd tier record. I think the longest winless streaks in the top 4 tiers is 36 held by Derby County in 2007-2008, that ran across their last time in the PL and...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Mansfield Town (a)

Trying to work out how, even though we had the quality shot -wise, we managed to lose 1-0! Think we had one shot on target FFS. These are the sort of comments that make me dislike the bloke. It's not really hard, we created 3 great opportunities first half, but didn’t take any. Yeh people seem to f...

Re: Play-off/relegation watch.

The lack of being able to do the most basic of things - control the ball, take a goal kick, put a couple of passes together was genuinely embarrassing. It’s probably the lowest standard we’ve played all year What was especially frustrating was the few times we got it right we created chances quite ...

They won't go down - I predict that it will go to the last day, Spurs will need a win and a controversial late winner will see them safe.

Re: Changes In Football thread

Championship teams vote in favour of six team play offs 3rd and 4th straight through to two-leg semi finals One-off one-leg quarter finals between 5th vs 8th and 6th vs 7th So basically the top 33% of the Championship will either be, or have a chance to be promoted, You could easily see a side sit ...

As amusing as it would be, they will stay up. Forest will drop with Burnley and Wolves.

Re: FIFA

I have wondered for a long time why the top nations don't break away from FIFA to create their own alternative, and while there are some obvious reasons as to why it would be difficult, but not impossible, I asked AI to give me reason and it gave me 2 I hadn't thought of. FIFA oversees referees and...

Re: Rival Watch

Are League Two only allowed to score goals tonight? At least based on the HT scores. As long as Wycombe don't win, that'll be a pretty good result right? Barnsley could be a worry especially with their games in hand but I feel they're too inconsistent to worry about. Wycombe picked up a 1-0 win ton...

Re: Scottish premier league.

Old Firm derby ends in a 2-2 draw which must have been celebrated most loudly by Hearts fans. Hearts have a 6pt lead over Rangers and 8 over Celtic (though the latter play Aberdeen in their game in hand on Weds). 3 of Hearts last 4 games before the split are against 9th placed Dundee and then the bo...

Re: What do people expect from a football team and manager

i think tickets sold will also have a bearing. Serious Question: do League One managers have explicit KPIs linked to Tickets Sold? I'd be (pleasantly) surprised if that was the case, given how few levers a Manager has to pull in terms of pricing, promotional and marketing spend, etc... Can you imag...

Re: What do people expect from a football team and manager

It does feel that the biggest driver is the division we’re in, then perceived standing within the league then actual standing within the league. It’s mildly interesting that there’s a bump on actual promotion campaigns vs near misses (00-01 vs 01-02 where the gap is 1 position) but also 10-11 vs 11...

Re: What do people expect from a football team and manager

Just chill the oxf*rd out and let the rage go... it's just football. It’s not the end of the world or some sort of disaster. Very much this - sport is of course meant to be entertaining but unlike many other forms of entertainment such as cinema, concerts, theatre you have absolutely no guarantee o...

Re: Ups & Downs 25/26

Only surprise is they've become the earliest a side has been officially relegated in League football. Even Luton managed to officially remain in the league longer when they had thirty points deducted (although that may have been in League Two, with only two relegation spots). Luton "only"...

Re: Play-off/relegation watch.

Isn't it pretty much a given in L1 that the vast majority of teams are made up of dross and those whose "star players" fire more than others end up nearer the top. Very few sides play massively attractive football at this level as the risk/reward is to skewed toward risk to do so due to p...
