    PPM for electric vehicles?

    There is no price point at which an EV is cheaper than its equivalent. I’m honestly struggling to understand how people don’t realise what so many people are driving round in. They’re not buying new or nearly new cars, or even buying any car until theirs finally gives up the ghost. And they are...

    PPM for electric vehicles?

    I said they had more money than loads who are currently paying fuel duty. Not more money than all people, or most people or anything like that. I’m not being funny, but there are many, many people driving around who couldn’t dream of getting cars on leases, nearly new, second hands that have...

    Photo Of The Day

    The wording of the announcement was a bit odd if that is the case. Can’t be cut and dried.

    PPM for electric vehicles?

    Yes, I understand that. But almost by definition, anyone driving an EV has more money than loads of people who are currently paying fuel duty.

    The ‘Vítor Matos’ Managerial Thread

    To be fair, that was obviously the plan as we all know who’s briefing who.

    “Personally I like what he had to say”. shocked at that. 😂

    The ‘Vítor Matos’ Managerial Thread

    This is a question I asked yesterday. Matos himself didn’t qualify for one automatically (you need to have managed for 2 years consecutively or 3 of last 5 years in a top 5 tier club - Portuguese 2nd division isn’t top 5 tiers) but as I said he would get an exemption as clubs always do for...

    The ‘Vítor Matos’ Managerial Thread

    In terms of work permits btw, I’m genuinely struggling to understand how the coaches that were named in here and elsewhere get work oermits. Ever Matos himself doesn’t meet the automatic criteria - I’m certain he will get an exemption. But the others?

    The ‘Vítor Matos’ Managerial Thread

    I don’t mind it as long as we care more about on pitch stuff. That interview with Gorringe was all about content and social media reach and sponsorship and nothing about the team being bloody awful. I realise that increased income helps us in the field but here’s a thought - increase income by...

    The ‘Vítor Matos’ Managerial Thread

    I was quoting our CEO. He described us as a media company. As a person in marketing, you’ll be aware that the single biggest factor in growing the profile of a football club is on field success.

    The ‘Vítor Matos’ Managerial Thread

    That’s the problem. We need to start thinking less like a media company and more like a football club.

    Perhaps if we didn’t try to fill these roles with someone who will accept very low pay, we wouldn’t need to keep sacking them. We’ve probably spent several hundred grand on doing up that new bar. It’s all about priorities.

    O'Dea - Reason For Our Downfall?

    Yep. We have to hope that Matos will be able to establish a way of playing that means the whole is significantly better than the sum of its parts. The system gives the creativity rather than the individual. It’s possible, we’ve seen it before with Brendan, but to read this board we have a team...

    O'Dea - Reason For Our Downfall?

    The contortions people are going to are frankly astonishing. ‘Sheehan was assistant to Duff and Williams when we were crap’ ‘Ah, but that was nothing to do with him as he was just an assistant so had no say’ ‘Sheehan is manager and we are crap’ ‘Ah, but in this particular case it has...

    O'Dea - Reason For Our Downfall?

    Things went downhill when we mistook the impact of an on loan midfielder for managerial achievement.

    Are the players giving everything?

    Well I would have thought the same re Matos. There have been a few times this season where they just don’t look like they much care though. And that post from Benson doesn’t scream squad togetherness to be honest. Hopefully it’s only him and we can just get rid.

    O'Dea - Reason For Our Downfall?

    The only people you don’t seem to blame are the ones that can actually do something about it and play better. And the sooner we see the end to the ludicrous ‘look at me’ ego stroking fist pumps from management, the better. Let the performances do the talking for once.

    Are the players giving everything?

    If that was the case and players were deliberately not busting a gut the only ones they’re actually putting two fingers up to and showing no respect for are the fans. And any player that did that I want gone from the club. Don’t care who they are and if it means we play under 21s in their place...
