The right manager is worth £100m

Pretty sure it’s been confirmed that the suspension stands. You can’t appeal yellows unless it’s really exceptional circumstances, the ref being a bit crap isn’t going to be enough of a reason for UEFA to open up a one-off yellow card appeals process just for us. 

Haven't read anything from UEFA, sky said they had heard from a contact in UEFA but nothing since then and no statement from them, yet.

Ha , Onana gets two yellow cards in the game … guess what , he’s allowed to play in the final , FA have different rules to UEFA

spawny manc rocket polishers 

Bet his right pissed off, gonna be a busy day for him. 

I think the market has changed due to the FFP,  I can't see Palace getting £60m for either of them, who can afford to pay it and stay within FFP? Maybe Arsenal, Spurs. With the lack of competition for them their price will be lower.

Where we are now and how well we are managed makes a huge difference as well, players will see how Rogers has been given a big chance and his sudden improvement and think I want a piece of that. 

When a club like 'the new us' comes in for a player they will be in their managers door saying I want to go, European games,  top 4 challenging and a dream manager/coach. 

We need a bigger ground to ease the pressure on ticket prices and allow space for more prawn sandwiches to be served, its that simple.

God I hate city,.make football boring 

, cheats.

Nice. I love the bit where Appleton says that he had a small side and didnt know how to mark the oppo effectively and Rogers said ' put me on the biggest player and i will do the job ' . He was 18 years old then. Bodes well . As he isnt just big. He is also strong for his size and knows how to use it. 

 

 

 

Can see emery doing his homework on him and then asking Mark Harrison about his time with him at the baggies, sounds like another player with a great attitude, it's a clever way to recruit.

I think it may also help us with departures, poor attitude and you will be pushed out.......chuck 

Nice write up on him from sky

 I will be 8 pints deep minimum so will be a one man 'welcome to hell' 

Reckon half the ground will be joining you, should make for great atmosphere, reckon the fans will push us through this to get a decent result. UTV.

Great idea on the coach really set the atmosphere up on Sunday, players looked well happy, like a cup final   

Being linked with Toney, be a good addition to the dressing room morale.

I didn't call YOU defeatist at all...it was the rhetoric on the thread...

It was someone else who made the comment about third yet you didn't go after them like you did me; I merely agreed with them that it would be nice....

Liverplop could implode, likewise Villa are on a good run...it's possible....

When was the last Time Liverpool lost 2 homes games in a row.......we're not watching a Good Liverpool team, we are watching a team  collapse.

Lets just see how west ham get on against lpool Saturday. I watched the Liverpool,  Everton game and Liverpool had some chances but Everton outplayed them, wanted it more all over the pitch. LPools heads dropped. West Ham is not the place to go to with a poor attitude.  

Then they play spurs at home, I so hope I'm wrong and they beat Spurs but watching them. It going to be close. 

I'm not saying its going to happen I'm saying it could happen, saying it's not going to happen is just.........

Mad to think that when Spurs kick off we’ll have played 3 more games than them… I mean, for a team with no Europe, and not in the cups, that shouldn’t really happen should it!? I think from our point of view it’s lovely to pile pressure on an opponent, but from the PL’s point of view it’s rubbish really and shouldn’t happen

It's wrong, it's a good job we have won our last 2 games, we could have been in a position where spurs would know exactly what they have to do, as win , draw etc.

As things have turned out we have put pressure on them but we still have European games sandwiched amongst premier league games to come.

Maybe Wolves at home they get the win, we just need to match their result at Palace and we are 3rd. Let's not look down ay

Apologies if this has already been discussed but.....online assessment questionnaires when applying for a new job....are they now standard ? The ones that ask "which statement best describes you ?" type ? Or "what would you do in this situation ?"

My brother has been sent one by wm police to be a call handler (that I understand) but he also just got one for the assembly line at JLR (yeah...I know ) in Wolverhampton. No experience needed but....yet this assessment needs to be completed as part of their recruitment process. 

Any HR or job agency types on here able to comment ? 

I can, there common tests, everyone revises for them. 

https://www.graduatesfirst.com/jaguar-land-rover-aptitude-tests

There attitude tests as well, for the police just google test questions for wm police, I applied for a train drivers job once , the reams of tests and whole forums set up to help was amazing......I never got the job, too clever  

For the interview people build stories from their previous jobs to answer quertion.

Eg Can you tell me a time you have gone beyond your job role to help?

Role out a story

I need them to beat Spurs rather try and catch them 

I agree but having watched them against Everton, they were dreadful. It will be interesting to see how they get on at West Ham,  if they can raise their game but I don't think they can. Klopp going , no realistic title chance, we can all live and hope they beat Spurs but I don't think they will, we just need to win our games. 

Liverpool are 8 points ahead of us, they have West ham away ,spurs at home , us away and wolves at home. I can't see where their points are coming from.

If we can beat Chelsea and Brighton then we take 3rd place if we can beat them at home, this is on, it could go to the last game of the season for 3,4 and 5th. (Don't think it will though,  Arsenal will beat Spurs Sunday)

I think we only got away with this price because nobody was taking us seriously. The way we're going we'll get stung for Chelsea prices if we spot any others in the championship.

Dragging a Birmingham born championship player up to the premier league, from a mid table club is a bit different to the way the morons at Chelsea operate.

Hmm who owns CNBC? Oh look a division of our new Atairos buddies Comcast.

Don't they have an interest in sky as well......can see a few changes coming 

Mention on CNBC, lovely bit of PR from him,  mentioned our history, the amazing turn around being a record. You can see the game plan straight away, she was obviously prompted to ask about us.
