To be fair, Frimmers, you are not a relentless moaner. You just used to go too far posting too many brain farts and had a few too many first impressions you failed to see beyond for a while. You are a much better poster more recently than you were a while ago. |  |

Again. The hate. The trolling. Why can’t everyone be happy? People are allowed to not have your opinions, you don’t like it. But you might actually learn something.., nobody has the answer, that’s why it’s called a ‘forum’ to discuss things, it’s ok to disagree. You’ve got a lot of growing up to do. We grew a lot as a team. Three promotions in four years is unbelievable for a young coach. We have five elite years of revenue combined, that’s transformative, and generational with the way football finance is. McKenna stuck to his process and it worked. Well that and my lucky socks, which as it go’s have never lost a game in the EFL!!! Staggering!! I don’t want all the credit though. Now for the truths that you won’t be able to process, because you can’t have two competing ideas in your head at once. I said all season I that we’d be third. Two points off. Boro collapsed. We have one of the lowest points totals ever for promotion, 79 is the lowest. We finished poorly at the business end. 10th in the form table last six games, and even adjusting for all the away games, 6th for last six games at home. I thought we won promotion? We can only beat what’s in front of us, but that isn’t great. Not our fault teams fell away and didn’t get it done. So well done to all. We were miles behind Coventry, with 3 times their budget, 2 point ahead of Milwall with 10’tikes theirs. I don’t say that to be negative…, but those FACTS are instructive. McKenna has had to build two squads, but that was his choices and he’s five years in. How does he measure against Parker? Or the Southampton manger. Who didn’t spend a penny, had no time to buy players or coach, and won 16 games on the bounce. We don’t operate in a bubble. We compete in the big boy world. McKenna the ‘legend’ is getting way too carried away. He’s got it all to prove, and I hope he does, unlike Ashton, he could, he had the desire, the ability, and the platform to do that, no doubt. But at the minute, he’s a tall dwarf, no manger in the EFL finds the next step easy …., except maybe Sunderland …, and Farke too .., ok, so McKenna doesn’t, but like you I do think, and hope he’s learned all the lessons he needs to. He won’t get the little club narrative this time, so needs to hit the ground, get a feeling all isn’t well with Mark and him, can’t have been happy he’d told Faragr he’d sack him, so it’s a dynamic to watch. Exciting though isn’t it. New signings, more parachute pennies if the worse happens and a dimmer where there’s no excuses. We have the infrastructure in place or should have. So it’s a summer obsessing about come August having a squad to compete - and we’ve a hell of a lot of work to do. I’m 45 years watching the game, I never assume I know more than anyone about the game, I often get things wrong, but I’m 0.01% in EPL for about 15 years!! I obsess about the game. The detail. I love it. I’m not wrong often, mostly because I don’t do the emotion as much as many, I enjoy it, had a great time Saturday, it didn’t slap like 22 years against Huddersfield but that was the best day as a supporter, and KM takes credit for that. But everything I say is through the prism of facts and metrics. Still doesn’t make me right. But your ability to ignite them all, is really rather special. They instruct what comes next more than spreading this is elite. And what comes next CAN be done, IF McKenna is good enough and Ashton too. One of them might be. One of them 100% isn’t. That is going to be a problem. You might not like it, or ever accept it, but you can’t say something something forest green next season. Rightly we measure against other promoted sides, Leeds, Sunderland, Brentford and Bournemouth and Brighton. I’ve seen a lot of Leeds and Sunderland this season.., we’ve spent more than Sunderland the last two years, and Leeds had £45 million losses before the tie promotion, and haven’t spent huge, but I can say for sure they’re both a BIG level above us. That’s our challenge. I always celebrate my success’ for a day, then already had new stretch goals. I suspect McKenna is the same, he’ll have hi plans I’m sure. Let’s hope he gets the players he wants. My biggest issue you’ll see play out - with our league one P&L I don’t think any club or fee under FFP had our head room to spend and spend BIG and we DID. But not nearly well enough to take advantage. We’ll have money this summer, but it won’t be close to those levels…, and looking at us play, that’s a problem. Time will tell though. Hope you enjoyed the celebrations, you’ve been positive throughout, and you deserve to enjoy the success more than most - it makes the summer doesn’t it, when you’re in the big time and it’s all to look forward to. Find a striker or two and who knows. And a CDM. |  | |  |

I can’t prove I haven’t done something.., I’m assuming someone isn’t saying they’re darkhorse? And it’s all the detective skills of a p*ssed up pseudo Sherlock. Someone sent me a PM saying I’d topped myself and it was on Facebook - I can tell you on my family’s life I’m not on socials. And this is why.., it’s all toxic nonsense. I actually do have a FB account but deleted the app almost two years ago, and it’s great, highly recommend it. I mean look at you buddy. You’re on your phone, on a forum, accusing someone, that’s you’ve never met, of something I know you don’t know is true, because it isn’t. I’ve never really understood FB groups unless it’s cars or advice and shared knowledge, it’s why I didn’t post on here for the first 15 years I was registered. I came only for need, would read a few posts, and love Warkys reports, and I see things differently to most, I don’t get sucked in to the herd thinking, and thought that would be accepted a little better to an it had been. If I’m honest it’s just a social experiment at this point on herd mentality, group think, and how people will conform to things they don’t believe are true, but the rest of the tribe do. It’s like the McKenna ‘legend’ nobody will get criticised for agreeing to something that is 100% untrue - but he could be and this could be the genesis of that. Anyway. Go give the guy on FB hell - hes a fraud. Tell me the page and I can go on and take a look - but then again, why would I care? I can log in through messenger, but what a colossal waste of my time that would be. Why do you care? You shouldn’t. Enjoy the summer of love and celebration. |  | |  |

Sunderland and Leeds had the hindsight of watching our season, but Leeds had a stronger base than us too.

You Still can’t let it go, it’s not luck to be the second best team over a season. We didn’t waste the first opportunity we are one of many teams promoted to the prem that gets relegated, including all our contemporaries that season. We didn’t stumble - we outplayed the best team in the league on form at their place and won 3-0 sat. Just face it you went big with the whinging this season and got proved completely wrong. |  |

There’s no disrespect. McKenna would call himself a tall dwarf. He knows the Championship isn’t anywhere near the Premier League level. I’m sure he now knows the full scale of the task - I really doubt he sits and congratulates himself, I suspect it’s one of his biggest strengths, he’s not Mark Ashton. He knows he failed in the biggest league in the world, and hopefully he obsessed with putting that right. You do know we are in the EFL right and we get £4 million a year for like to watch it on TV instead of now £150 million plus parachutes .., so what’s it worth maybe £250 million against £15-30 million depending on how often we are on TV. There’s a small clue as to the skill, quality, and challenge of the premier keague V’s the EFL. One is watched the world over and is the best most competitive league in the world. You need to be a world class manger to survive.., top 50 in world football. The EFL - not even top 1000. Levels. I’m sure he can do it. He’s v young, hopefully full of improvement, but if you think that will be easy, or three EFL promotions is instructive, wobble your head - tallest dwarf.., it’s a HUGE leap, others have done it, so over to McKenna. |  | |  |

Some of those are just facts, not winning the league doesn’t matter does it, who cares, bigger picture. Points totls and end to season (form) they’re just facts, and instructive, you seemed to have drawn the conclusion yourself?! I’ve never had a dig at TWTD, love Phil’s bones, he has the constitution on an Ox to put up with childish personal jibes like yours. Why don’t you read your list. And comment on the issues. £200 million well spent? Guess it’s yielded the financial outcome, so yes, but good enough for the prem? You tell me? I don’t know who Robin is, he only exists in your head. Just enjoy the success, stop being personally offended by facts that don’t suit your arguement and stop taking and making it personal. I’ve never said KM wasn’t at this level, I have said he hasn’t made the most of the resources, where and how we finished against sides with 10% of those resources, or Southampton with no coaching or recruitment but 16 consecutive wins, suggest that’s not an opinion, it’s a measure. If you were a Milwall fan, wouldn’t you say Neil is twice the manager that McKenna is? 1 point behind, with zero resources? Coventry? I won’t list them all. McKenna deserves all the praise and success, works his socks off, young and improving, he has more potential than most of those. As for Ashton: you’re right, I would still slag him off - he’s 36 years not good enough for the elite end. We’ve outgrown him. Buys he’s not daft. He’s indexed our club 100% times himself, and for a reason, because deep down he knows he’s not good enough. You might think that’s ok. And maybe you’re right. Time will tell. I think being 100% indexed to Marks abilities isn’t going to end well.., right man at the right time though 100% for sure. Oh and I don’t think I’ve had a personal dig at you, but couldn’t say for sure, so apologies, it’s never personal, only ever wanting the best for our shared passion, so apologies if I have - it’s a passionate business this football, we’ll all want the v best. I’m always amazed anyone takes this place personally, because I don’t know you it wouldn’t ever be meant to offend you in that level. Enjoy the summer. This is the best bit.., a couple of months of glory, potential, new signings, and the world at our feet, this is why we go to Grimsby in. Burley’s last game, in the rain, with Finidi not trying a yard, so we can enjoy the good times. They don’t come along often (unless you’re KM). Forwards. Ooooft I’d take up by a point, but then we said that about Burleys European heroes. Anything’s possible. It’s football. |  | |  |

| Tractor Guy (dark horse) on 13:39 - May 4 by darkhorse28 | There’s no disrespect. McKenna would call himself a tall dwarf. He knows the Championship isn’t anywhere near the Premier League level. I’m sure he now knows the full scale of the task - I really doubt he sits and congratulates himself, I suspect it’s one of his biggest strengths, he’s not Mark Ashton. He knows he failed in the biggest league in the world, and hopefully he obsessed with putting that right. You do know we are in the EFL right and we get £4 million a year for like to watch it on TV instead of now £150 million plus parachutes .., so what’s it worth maybe £250 million against £15-30 million depending on how often we are on TV. There’s a small clue as to the skill, quality, and challenge of the premier keague V’s the EFL. One is watched the world over and is the best most competitive league in the world. You need to be a world class manger to survive.., top 50 in world football. The EFL - not even top 1000. Levels. I’m sure he can do it. He’s v young, hopefully full of improvement, but if you think that will be easy, or three EFL promotions is instructive, wobble your head - tallest dwarf.., it’s a HUGE leap, others have done it, so over to McKenna. |
I really don't know why I bother to reply to your posts, as you never provide your references to support your widlly inaccurate claims. "You do know we are in the EFL right and we get £4 million a year for like to watch it on TV ..." In 23/24 it was 250% more than this (see this year's accounts). Why would you presume it drops this season, rather than rises? Even if you assume it stays the same, you're way out. Sure, it's a lot lower than in the PL, but we cut our cloth to keep costs in line. "The EFL - not even top 1000." Wut? The Championship is considered one of the best leagues in the world, and sports teams considered to be in the top 100 (and loads in the top 200). 'Not even top 1000' comment has zero credibility. https://theanalyst.com/article |  | |  |

You lost any credibility at the point you mentioned the word dwarf. I think the word you were looking for was troll, and you were describing yourself. When you say it is a social experiment, are you studying psychology? |  |

You just used to go too far posting too many brain farts and had a few too many first impressions you failed to see beyond for a while. You are a much better poster more recently than you were a while ago. |
Frimmers has every chance of picking up "most improved poster" at the annual TWTD awards night. |  | |  |
