Agreed.Anonymous. wrote:Watford sacking Pearson is just crazy. You'd think they would be desperate to make sure they kept him. When he took over in December they had won 1 out of 15 games and were bottom of the premier league. They have won 7 out of 20 since he took over. Even if they get relegated he would have been the perfect man to get them back up.

Bear in mind relegation won't be confirmed until August due to points deductions to Wigan, Derby, and Sheffield Wednesday and the subsequent appeals.LandOTurk wrote:Last day of the Championship should be a wheeze.
Auto promotion - any 1 of 3 teams (West Brom, Brentford or Fulham) to join Leeds and go up
Playoff - any 2 of 3 teams (Forest, Cardiff or Swansea) to fill 5th and 6th spot; imagine if Swans pipped the Bluebirds (1-0 loss for Cardiff, and 1-0 win for Swansea would do it)
Relegation - nobody yet officially relegated but Hull 99.9% certain due to GD, and Huddersfield 99.9% certain due to stay up for the same reason; but as it stands 3 from 7 to face the drop (Huddersfield, Middlesbrough, Birmingham, Charlton, Luton, Barnsley, Hull) - confess to not looking or calculating if any of those teams are playing each other.
Oh really. I just follow the Bluebirds and keep in touch with another fan in DC and then again Chicago. We text each other after the result. I was completely unaware. Just adds to the drama. Teams just have to do their jobs.earl the beaver wrote:Bear in mind relegation won't be confirmed until August due to points deductions to Wigan, Derby, and Sheffield Wednesday and the subsequent appeals.LandOTurk wrote:Last day of the Championship should be a wheeze.

Take a bow Nottingham Forest. What a way to play yourself out of the playoffs. And congrats to Swansea for coming back from the dead. Swansea-Cardiff playoff final anyone?LandOTurk wrote:Oh really.

I thought so.

Yeah I was staggered to see thousands(?) of fans out celebrating with the team on the streets. If I was a Liverpool fan I think I'd be miffed considering their fans were given a dispersal order.LandOTurk wrote:I think it's the covid issue.eldanielfire wrote:What's wrong with that?

Chelsea have a massive amount of players out on loan, they earn loads by selling players who have never even played for the club.New guy wrote:They almost earn as much from sales as they spend. Their net spend is actually very low.
For some reason most top clubs seem to offload players for dirt cheap while Chelsea get more than they're probably worth. Maybe their financial backing let's them play hard ball more than other clubs which are run as a business.
Yeah i was just looking through the list of sales and saw they got 30 million for Lukaku. I'd forgotten he was ever a Chelsea player.Bimboc69 wrote:Chelsea have a massive amount of players out on loan, they earn loads by selling players who have never even played for the club.New guy wrote:They almost earn as much from sales as they spend.

Alice in the Birmingham City FC marketing department must’ve read Guerilla Marketing over lockdown and decided to think outside the box on that decision.eldanielfire wrote:Weird:

Birmingham retiring the number 22 because of some kid whose scored 4 goals in 50 games is off to Germany. Obafemi Martins scoring the winning goal in a cup final for this club winning a trophy and it didn't get retired then

Tbf who the f**k wants to wear number 22 anyway? Might be more of an issue if had have been 1-11.
There was a dispersal order round Elland Road. The council, the police advisory group and the club agreed that putting the players outside for 10 minutes and then going inside might encourage the crowd to go home.New guy wrote:Yeah I was staggered to see thousands(?) of fans out celebrating with the team on the streets.
