Apparently moyes wer showing vidic and ferdinand videos of jagielka and telling em to copy him

Two poor season ...for real man.
v Barnsley at home last season was a close call eh !
must have been poor to have ended up in that position...
last game, half time scores as was..we were darn, Fights in the dressing room, According to Ian Bennett

This weekend, sighs of relief as we break the losing streak & secure Championship status with just two games to go....
Robins, gaunt, grey even, not a hint of relief..maybe he's not relieved ? er..
there were fights on the training ground this season too I believe,

Yeah.
that's two poor seasons alright, and like Mirf CONFIRMED yesterday, unless we get 34,000 v Leicester () our gates are darn too...Yet by some strange logic, I'm continually being informed we have had a more successfull season !

So we are 'better' but yet less people watch TOWN ?
hmmm

Fight, fight, fight. We only sing when we're swinging!

Actually, last season's average was 15,080, and this season's average is 14,109. So we'd need 36,446 on Saturday to catch up.

This season's 14,109 is less than what we had in league one (14,131). Just think if it hadn't been for Clibbens' dynamic pricing policies the crowds would have been a lot lower/higher (delete as appropriate) .

crowds ............. or gates ? Like any club though, if we paly great winning football then the extra 3,000 will return

paly ? play !

Utg utg wer thou art..thou utg??

I'm busy working on the Leicester thread. In and amongst actually doing what I'm paid for. (I'm joking if anyone from work is reading this)

Top Stuff UTG

'controversy' there..right off the bat.

Darn reckons Mark Robins is on five million pounds a year. Give ya head a shek!

I think he'd be on about one hundred thousand. What do you guys think he's on? Money that is, not drugs!

I'm pretty sure that Dean will see this season as a success.
Despite cutting the wage bill by £2million the club have managed to not only stay up but I'm pretty certain our final League position will be higher than last season.

Last year we were getting thumped 4/5/6-1 all over the place, this season that has rarely happened apart from a fluke result at Leeds and a 0-3 thumping at home to Forest.
We've competed with most in this division, taken points off Burnley(promoted) QPR,Wigan, Brighton and Reading who are all in the play off mix.

We've signed a striker who has 7goals in 19 games despite the fact most of them have been a struggle for him up front on his own...that lad will score 20 for us next season.

Things aren't half as bad as Town fans make it out to be

Come on LV ...Wak'n up.

I thought he'd (Robins) be an 'about' 1mill per season !
(Not 5 mill ....LV should work for 'The SUN' )
Smithies would be on around 600k wouldn't he ?
I'd have thought Robins would have been on more than the 1st choice keeper ?
Just wondering ?

Mirf, "Too bad seasons" Too ?
Is that as in they were just ....too bad..to watch,
or "Too poor seasons".....as in the weather in Autumn, Winter & Spring wasn't good enough ?


Very confusing.
I thought we had 'two' ....(consecutive) poor seasons.

A slight miss-understanding perhaps .

And Wakey oh Wakey !!! (No not you LV ! although it is time to get up )
He did struggle up front on his own didn't he ?
Yet the lone striker tactic continues & is endorsed by yourself ? maybe if this one tactic alone had been addressed...maybe we wouldn't have had to wait untill next season for him to score 20 goals,
I'm sure it would have been better if he had been closer to that this season too......(get it Mirf This season as well .

You're right though
Things aren't as bad as some Town fans make it out to be...


They are WORSE

Oh by the way Blokes !

This LV guy. D'ya know what he says last night ?

'No Darn, What did LV say last night'..?
Oh, How do 'Voice of reason', glad someone's on board,
Well he said he hasn't been and watched TOWN since it was 8 quid !!!! & that he thought it was ..& I quote.... "A right bag-o-shiite" along with "8 quid was too much"

Then says Robins will be on 2k a week !!!!

He wears corduroy jackets with leatherette elbow reinforcements .....make of that what you will

Robins on £1million a year

Not a chance of it being anywhere near that, half the figure and you'll be a lot closer.

I was close then ? ....



Seriously though. So is he on about 'par' with the best players ?

Don't be Darn daft, get real - he's on around 50% of what Town's highest paid players earn.

Even top German Bundesliga League side Bayern Leverkusen, who are currently searching for a new manager to replace the sacked Sami Hyypia, have stated that they are unwilling to pay more than £1.2 million per year for the right man.

Alright alright Sorry Mirf

I 'asked' ! I don't 4 king know ?
So you think Wakey is 'way off' too then ....as he informed me maybe 'half' what I suggested.

Lets get stuck in then.
So 'half' what the better players are on .
Ok Mirf. I'll take your word for it, So what will that be then ? I don't know mate, I'm asking

12k a week for the top earners give or take £1k

Thanks Wakey
I did say last night to sleepy head (LV69) that i thought the better players would be on about 12 thou a week...
& OK I was wrong, But I did think the manager would be on about 18 maybe 19 thou a week (1 Mill)

I assume you two are nearer the mark than me then.
But I reckon Robins managing a Championship side is worth more than a mere 'pundit' on a football chat show... so is it also true then that Alan Hansen is on close to a Mill at the Beeb !
That's MAD .
