To be fair he had ducking good reason to bad mouth him. 1 performance doesn’t make up for a whole season! Or has this season of his performances been acceptable?
If judged on his goal record I agree, if judged on his all round performances I don’t.

Loft was excellent today. I hope the guy who was bad mouthing him at the Supporters Club meeting was there to see it.

I think that to be a strong leader you have to listen to the advice of those around you but ultimately come to your own decision. If that decision ends up being a mistake then you learn from it.
I'm sure Carol will have made plenty of decision in the past going against advice that have got her where she is.
I'm also sure she will have made decisions in the past, going against advice she was given which she later regretted.
If she didn't go with her gut and published the letter she would probably now still be thinking that if she had things may have been different. That her show of faith in flitcroft and the players may have galvanised the squad and got the results we needed.
Even worse not going with her gut may have made her second guess every bold decision in the future.
Most people who have become incredibly successful in life look back at a point in their life where they had an idea and went with it, when everyone else told them it would never work, as the decision that made them.Apparently, she was advised by her legal people not to buy the Vale!

Methinks you've touched the very nerve, Investing, what's been spent is superficial, absolutely nothing on and for building a team, it's a fact the Emporess has no clothes, all wind and phiss as been given to those that lobbied the owner, the next stage will tell if any of the hollow words have any credence, there's definitely trouble at'the Mill to be sure, money where your mouth is or it's a continuous spiral down and out, summers going to be a long wait, or a surprising regeneration, don't hold ya breath.
That is one of the longest sentences I’ve read on here.

Flitcroft is so brilliant at everything perhaps he could bring peace in the Middle East?

The law now actually says. “Leaving the field of play to celebrate a goal is not a cautionable offence but players should return as soon as possible.”

Man utd deserved win in my opinion there players and fans appeared to be more up for the game than Liverpool. The only thing that Liverpool could perhaps question is Bruno Fernandes not getting sent off during the 90 minutes for 2 yellow cards. He got booked for dissent then commited another foul worthy of a booking that the ref took no action with. Also has the players celebrating with fans rule that usually result in a booking being scrapped as rashford scored and didn't get booked and seen it plenty of times recently at vale where the opposition player scored celebrate with fans but no booking.
I thought you didn't get booked for celebrating with fans but only if you left the field of play to do so. Leaning over the barrier is fine but jumping over it into the crowd isn't.

Recruitment is critical and sadly we have gone downbank?Peter Beadle was no replacement for Mills.
During that run of 18 games under Rudgie I believe there was something going on between the players. One of them was giving another player’s wife a burst on his banjo.

Interesting quote from Eddie Howe.
“Your football club’s success depends on recruitment. It’s that important. Who you bring into your football club really dictates what happens afterwards. I’m not involved in the structure of how we set up those departments. That’s other people’s jobs, but I’ll certainly welcome any changes that are positive for what we do.”

The other thing with Norm was that it wasn’t all work work work. He kept a healthy work life balance and managed to find plenty of time for his other activities.
And he was a part time dentist.

I’ve heard the story of the last day of the transfer window in January 2019. It makes Flitcroft’s transfer strategy look like a work of genius!

When Crosby was sacked we were 1 point from safety with 3 games in hand. I’d kill for that now.

Why are the official supporters club representatives so quiet?
It's Bobby's job when we're getting promotion at Wembley. Perhaps they're frightened of falling out of favour with Carol?
SC Meeting this coming Thursday. Come and find out.

Oxford finished 1 place below us last season and this season they are currently in a play off position. Not much between the 2 clubs in terms of size, support and maybe revenue but they were better than us today in every department, what a difference 12 months makes. Over the past couple of years I have been really really positive about where we are as a football club, good owners, good structure, good vision (Championship Ready) and some good infrastructure improvements. And now.....well back to what we are used to..... Maybe one day somebody will come along and make this a successful club with some consistency.
You say not much between the clubs financially but they paid £400,000 for Goodwin in January. When did we last pay a fee like that?

Not there today as in hospital tomorrow for a hernia op. Son's having my ticket and taking the grandson. God help him he's got the daughter as well lol. Anyway KTF and all being well will be at the next match. Hoppers sorry no singing from me today 😄 get behind the lads today and think of me not having a drink lol
UTV and KTF
Good luck with the op, mate. My better half had that op a few years ago. He was being told it would take a few weeks to get over it. He had the op on Thursday and on the Saturday we drove down to Cheltenham to see Tom Pope score a hattrick in the cup! Hope your op is as lucky!!

Jones is absolute tripe, as is Debrah.
It’s interesting. At Reading we played a back four of Sang, Smith, Debrah and Jones. When Jones went off injured after an hour it was 0-0. At Leyton we played the same back four and kept a clean sheet.

This could be true , with due respect the new CEO is a young man learning his trade , and her son is not really a football man , seems we are lacking a Bill Lodey or a Colin Garick .
To be fair, the CEO spent several years at Burton before he came to us.

Tell me all these games where he’s not tried?
