Reply | Horner leaves Red Bull with £52m pay-off
at 15:54 22 Sep 2025
Predominantly through sponsorship and prize money from F1 itself.
From memory HP’s title sponsorship with Ferrari was worth about £60-70m per year. Teams roughly earn between £50-£100m per year based on final standings. |

There is absolutely zero chance of Blackburn being given the win. It would effectively be match fixing. At least 20 mins left against a team known for scoring late goals and bringing on a ridiculous amount of talent off the bench against tiring legs.
Will be a full replay and while harsh on Blackburn, it’s a nice reminder for them to sort their pitch out. |

Like Noggins post, I’m surprised this has stayed up as long as it has given the purpose of the thread. |

Reply | EFL considering changing playoff format from next season

I’m not against revamping the POs in some form to reward those who finish in 3rd and 4rd over those in 5th and 6th.
However I hope they consider the wider impact it would have on the entire season when you’re opening up the promotion / PO spots to a third of the league. My concern would be that more teams go for draws not wanting to give points away to rivals, resulting in boring matches and rewarding mediocrity. |

With the recent meltdowns over performances and transfer activity, it’s easy to forget what a mess we were in 4 and a half years ago.
I don’t have many positive things to say about ME but his last two acts as owner were quite influential in our future success.
Firstly bringing in Paul Cook which he probably didn’t need to do knowing a takeover wasn’t far off. Turned out to be a pretty terrible manager for us but he did bring in the core of the squad that gave us back to back promotions. Walton, Hladky, Burgess, Edmundson, Burns, Morsy, Chaplin, Aluko along with others then contributed to our success in L1. Not a bad window even if he couldn’t make it work himself.
Secondly, not selling us to the first party that showed any interest in us. With the amount of dodgy owners in the football league, we really are fortunate to have this group in charge. I know some people aren’t keen on MA but I’d have him over what we had for the 15-20 years prior. |

For me, Greaves pushing forward only adds to the issues we’re currently facing. There seems to be no space for Philogene and Davis because they are both occupying each others area. Greaves coming forward then only congests that area even more so.
Saturday was crying out for Davis overlaps but everyone on the pitch stopped moving as soon as Jaden received the ball. No matter how good a player is, he isn’t going to take on 3 players by himself in a low block.
There must be some method in KMs madness but I’m yet to see it. |

Yeah they obviously viewed it as not worth it in the end but I do wonder whether given the choice now, they would have kept him? This squad with Morsy in for one of Taylor, Humphreys or the RBs would have been stronger all round.
His experience for games like Birmingham away may have made the difference. All ifs and buts of course. |

Think we’ll have to agree to disagree here.
Morsy offered a lot to us both on and off the pitch and in a year where so much change has occurred, it may have been beneficial for the club to pay a bit more (which was achievable) to keep him. |

He wasn’t after 100k a week. Without wanting to go into too much detail, the figure was half way between his Prem wage and previous CH wage, which isn’t entirely unreasonable.
Obviously the length of contract is understandable with his age. |

Ordinarily I’d agree with you but for someone as important as Morsy, it may have been worth pushing the boat out.
I do wonder with the amount of departures we eventually had, we would have done more to keep both Morsy and Burgess in hindsight. |

Worth pointing out that Morsy wanted to stay but also wanted a contract that reflected his worth (in his view) |

Footballs a funny game. Less effective recently?
Thought Chaplin had done more in his 70mins Saturday than Szmodics had done all season. |

The one time he got round the outside today he whipped in a ball for Chaplin to get a shot away.
We scored from the resulting corner.
A lot of talk about us over paying for players but McKenna really needs to step up and get more from this squad. |

4. Edmundson
5. Morsy
6. Woolfenden
7. Burns
8. Evans
9. Ladapo
10. Chaplin

Proper numbers.
Out of interest, anyone know if that team ever started together? Assume not once Mass, Hirst and Broadhead arrived.. |

at 10:31 30 Aug 2025
Absolutely not. We’ll comfortably be within the POs and the minimum aim should be top 2.
If we’re not in the POs come the end of the season I dont think McKenna would find himself in a job.
Also calling it a terrible start is a bit dramatic given the context. It’s one bad result in reality. |

Seems Wolves are stepping up their interest so appears unlikely to happen for us, although never say never.
James probably the more realistic option if we can get some moved out. |

Reply | Who is our 1st choice number 10 now?
at 10:40 29 Aug 2025
Think our preferred 11 by the winter will be:
Palmer
Furlong O’Shea Greaves Davis
Matusiwa Cajuste
Egeli Akpom Jaden
Hirst/Azon
Undecided on the striker but hopefully Azon proves to be better than Hirst.
Question marks over the central midfield pairing and right sided attacker. Isnt it nice to have options though? |
