Looking like they are trying to shift all the kit and training wear.
Are we with Umbro next season? |

Thread | We're just not good enough
at 08:52 27 Feb 2025
No shame in that, going up against clubs that have years and millions to build squads.
Surprised so many people are angry, this season has panned out exactly how I thought, competitive, but not clinical enough.
We go again next season with a stronger squad than our previous stint in the Championship. |

This can be guys that if it went off you would be happy they were on your side, a little bit bonkers, loose and fun on a night out.
I'd say the following would be in with a shout.
Cooper

Thread | Midfield conundrum
at 09:16 20 Jan 2025
Not really taking much from yesterday as most teams would struggle against that.
However, we have had 1 goal from Morsy, Phillips and Cajuste combined, thinking back to our previous stint, we had that perfect blend/balance of Magic and Holland, where we had the dynamism of Matt and the creativity and bite from Magic.
Our current lot, whilst generally been solid, we just don't have that dynamism in the middle of the park, obviously we were hoping Phillips would answer that question, but he hasn't really hit the heights that we were all hoping he would, we really need goals from as many facets of the team as we possibly can.
Morsy and Cajuste are industrious and give there all, but I can't help thinking we could do with some real bite and magic, our build up play can be so lethargic and risk averse, I do wonder if we should try to address that. |

Thread | New youth football rules
at 15:52 11 Dec 2024
Just been sent the plans for 26/27 onwards.
Bit of a mess. Whilst I agree 11v11 isn't ideal for most ages up to U'15s this means that current 12’s will change to 11 a side next season then revert back to 9 a side in 2026 for the other half of the season.
They are currently playing 9v9, and then next season they will play 11v11, and then according to the new changes (which are good for the development), it will then drop back to 9v9 for a season and then back up to 11v11.
3v3 or 4v4 seems like a good idea to a point, but then we will need so many more pitches and clubs will have 7-8 teams, which will need lots more coaches, and given not many hands go up as it is to help, I can only see this being a barrier.
Anyone else having these conversations? |

Thread | Current Situation
at 08:33 4 Dec 2024
With us having one window to transition from league One players into the PL was always going to be a mountain to climb, add in the lack of experience, you can't learn on the job in this league and you get punished.
Lets hope we can still be in the mix come January as we do seem to have a Lazarus effect in the second part of the season and add a few additions we might have a punchers chance.
FWIW, I always felt it was a stretch to stay up from day one, but we have been competitive in the main, and MCK has a knack of finding ways to overcome obstacles.
I have faith in this team as a collective, whether that's enough to stay up is open for discussion, but I don't have that feeling of inevitability like I've had in previous relegation battles in our history. |

Borthers has got to be on thin ice after Saturday, madness how we keep giving points away in the last 20.
Although Joseph Sua'ali'i looks an absolute monster, specially given it was his first game. |

Thread | Expectations as fans
at 13:47 21 Oct 2024
Think our biggest issue as fans has been the fact that we looked at WH away and Everton at home, hoping to get something from them, we didn't expect anything from the first two, fully expected a loss to Villa and Brighton, draw with Fulham was par and most were happy with the Point at St Mary's.
So in essence the past two games have been below par both in expectations and performance levels, which in the grand scheme of things is only 25% of our season so far.
Add in the Injuries to Axel and Greaves, this has compounded the misery and hasn't helped defensive cohesion.
Keep the faith, we have the best young manager in the country leaving no stone unturned. |

Thread | St James Park Development
at 14:07 2 Oct 2024
Been reading about the options they have, one of them is to develop the East Stand (which is problematic due to housing) and this will only give them an additional 8000 seats for the paltry sum of £1b.
Or build a new stadium in the park next to SJP (Leazes Park) but these costs have been estimated to be between £2-3b and would face years of legal wrangling's (think building on Christchurch Park)
Neither option looks appetising, but £1b for an extra 8k seats is absurd. |

Thread | Are the days of £100m + transfers over?
at 12:45 22 Jul 2024
Seems like so many clubs are paranoid and conscious of PSR that the days of his big transfers are over, even Utd, who have been quite active have only spent £30m on a new striker, days gone by, they would've been spending 3 times that.
Not that I think it is a bad thing mind. |

Seemed like he was destined for Bologna, but according to Sky Sports Bologna are interested in Aberdeen striker Bojan Miovski.
Wonder if that might still be on if a deal was improved. |
