On the upside I just need one more goal for a Maximum points in the predictions along with @onevision & @Graeme Ro55 🤣

Looks like I’ve not missed much in terms of our performance, tried to watch it and of course it’s not on but decide to listen to and it’s not on. yet they decide to do a collective review of the remaining 5 games on todays teams , some things are just meant to be I suppose!

Good old Blackout Rule making me miss watching the Rangers game which would have been on Sky sports no doubt 🤣 Typical something set up in the 1960’s to encourage fans to attend lower league games, I guess I’ll have to listen to it on BBC radio sport 🥳

Exactly stick to what the players know and the reasons in why they love playing football , I strongly believe that soon as a manager comes in and starts complicating things with there tactics , yes some players love the routine and the tactics but most of the time they just revolt and refuse to perform and pick up a wage at the expense of the club and frustration to us fans.

The ruthlessness and the effectiveness of potentially what’s to come from our new investors. Whether you agree or not Farke isn’t the correct man for the job in the PL as stats go, it also seems like the investors are all about stats and performances whilst also making sure everyone is happy and being listened to. https://apple.news/AcI96Tn4pRW6FqFJdu28RvQ

I’ve done some digging on our new sporting director and have to say it looks pretty promising, helped build a wolves team and helped find talented players such as jota, Neves, Traore to name a few, Also whilst at New York Red Bulls he rebuilt the squad leading them to playoffs with the youngest squad in the MLS. So I’m guessing we can expect more younger players coming in be it from our academy or elsewhere like we are seeing now with Josh mulligan and young Cameron from Dundee in which I’m positive will give us higher profit once it’s there time to sell on. He also isn’t shy to take full responsibility and roles ensuring they work to his planned method, whilst at wolves he oversaw the generation of £170 million in transfer fees and let’s not forget how he probably paid an important part with the recent saga with Everton after there points deduction and fighting relegation this season, so he looks well equipped maybe just maybe I’ll actually be able to say I know what a Sporting director actually does to my kids when they ask the question🤣

Would we have to pay Dundee compensation for josh Mulligan being he is under 24 ? He played loads of games this season and plays mainly Right midfield but can drop back to Right back centre midfield. Looks like he Loves to dribble and looks like a complete no 8 definitely will get better in time if we pull this one off, looks pretty solid tbh. here is a video I found on him .

I think it’s to do with the fact he is a “specialist” at taking teams up front the PL like he did with his last team Norwich twice I believe , yet when it comes to staying in the PL these days he just doesn’t cut the mustard, I’ve just heard Mourinhos been linked with Leeds job so that will be interesting .

I know this is going to be a strange one but I would say as of recently was the leading up to the 2010/2011 season before we went into administration in terms of winning stuff and being financially stable, we won the Scottish cups 07/08 08/09 10/11 PL 07/08 08/09 10/11 sure in 2012 we went into administration due to unsustainable spending or whatever but the years preceding saw higher revenues be it fans support, Champions league money.

Yeah I know that compo, I’m saying there is loads of people mentioning his name 🤣 I’m 110% not for it, Hope all is well m8

🤣 Jamie Vardy is becoming free next week ! Curiosity Would he be of some value like Defo was or will it be another expense we don’t need? Loads of chat about Vardys contract but in all honesty I think that’s a waste of money and time the new investment team won’t and shouldn’t entertain.

If we don’t get Marco then I believe Jose would be no 2 and give us fans something to be proud of or the performance we expect and demand. I was watching some documentary last night about his Champions league wins on BBC and it honestly made me feel like he connects with the players sure there comes a cost but I also believe he will set up a youth system like he put in place at Porto where he based his ethos of having more “local” players in the team with a handful of foreigners. His words not mine 🤣He doesn’t care about trophies or cups he cares about how the club and the fans/players remembered how he made them feel as he managed the club. As he said in the Chelsea press conference he isn’t just a bottle from a box HE IS THE SPECIAL ONE. As long as the billionaires are paying for it.

Something I seen said since 1912 they have only picked players from the Basque Country in both Spain and France or trained by the Basque ethos ,as they started the club after being surprised and interested with the football games British immigrants were having whilst at port of Bilbao. As their fans see it fosters a deep connection between the team, players and the local community something they can call their own people and I’m definitely behind that ethos all day long. yet because they use this Basque technique they have been heavily criticised as being discriminatory , I believe it has become Athletics identity and it’s something the Supporters are very proud of off as you seen if you watch some of their Home Games Passion and pride is present and READY to take part in each game. We already have a connection with the club there is no doubt about that but I strongly believe in the future and going forward we need some sort of System in place that represents our youth system and our clubs motto entwined in each player that comes through our Front doors! R esilient in spirit, We’re always ready through thick and thin. E ager for victory, let the triumphs begin. A lways prepared, as we are the people . D etermined and ready to win no matter what it costs. Y es! To the fight, let the fcking roar begin! Excuse the erratic writing i wake up early and I think my normal brain takes me on a rant before my medication starts to kick in 🤣

I love everything that Athletic do as a club by only having players from that region and it’s like a family run unit everyone knows the identity of the club and it’s one common goal, Sure we can’t do that from the get go but we can at least cut costs on spending x y z on has beens and focus on our future stars like young Rice & Curtis in which I hope Barry plays them in his remaining games to give them a chance to show case their talents. It actually saddened me when I found out that Billie Gilmore hadn’t actually played a game for Rangers first team yet was snatched by Chelsea yet had been at the club through our youth setup. All we have to do is look at this as a prime example of what we didn’t do to acknowledge the talent he was as it’s clearly shown with his performances of late with Napoli. I have a small glimmer of hope the DNA of our club will be revived due to what is happening with Leeds , I genuinely hope and have some optimism the new investors are aware of what the club means to us fans and the DNA of our club is restored as a club is nothing without its fans and as of late we have been left in the darkness. Yes time will tell and hopefully in due course there opening statement will highlight the intentions they want to achieve.

Marco is what we need in terms of our team playing attacking football and winning the ball back with speed and velocity that us fans love to see plus many more strengths. I also believe there is no better person on the list or maybe I’m wrong 🤣 sure I think Gerrard coming back will be good and give certain fans and members a boost , yet to be honest will he bring Michael Beale back and all be back to square one again minus the league and trophy’s. I just can’t get over the fact he said he was moving on to bigger challenges and seems like this is his only ticket back to potentially different clubs after we “Rangers” have taken him on a similar journey like we did before.

3-1 FGS Dessers

Yeah, true indeed I suppose that wasn’t a good idea mentioning him 🤣 I just seen New York/ New Jersey and thought of Reyna. Amazing talent but your right he has had to many muscular problems and his last one putting him out for 8/9 months

Leeds have just been granted permission to upgrade there stadium to 56,000 https://apple.news/AfMWos3YrTaKerCEvfIF8DA

Well let’s hope with this new ownership / franchise knows how too work out maths properly and knows about buying and selling players at the right time whilst also developing our youth system and buying young players who are going give us a profit and not losses when the time comes to make us profit. They have the loyal fan base so that side of things will never dip in value let’s just keep our out goings low while maximising the income for the club by making Shrewd decisions both on and off the pitch, we get rid of the rotten apples and not just feel grateful for the odd few million pounds hear and there I want us to get back to the glory years of a successfully run football club we all know has been missing for many years now! Plus on the upside of things I want one of those bear hats you can add water/ juice( Irn-Bru ) at half time as the emptying the water into those cups is ridiculous, plus time you gulp all the liquid in the paper cups as for fear of the arse falling away your away to the 🚾 missing ten minutes of the second half.

Rangers confirm takeover talks with US investors https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ceqrvzdrw24o

Is that New Jersey/ New York border in the back of the Statue of Liberty, Reynas birth place I believe, let’s hope young Reyna comes along for the party as well since his Dortmund contract is coming to a end, let’s hope those connections puts us in a strong position.

Also have Rafa, Big Sam, Dyce in the mix.

Right or wrong? https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ckgev0ygk8po Thoughts on this one and our next chapter as a football club moving forward in terms of recruiting young talent, will this restrict young players from moving on to benefit there careers like young Billie Gilmore did who is now thriving in Italy,

Reading something earlier today, i can’t find article too add link, it said if Athletic win the group we automatically get moved up one notch due to other teams league positions etc. found it ! https://apple.news/A7xiG9dOmS2K6mII5ZJ7EYw
