    Yes he said he would try and right Rahic's wrongs and because he looks like he's being as good as his word I'm personally delighted.

    I'll be delighted when we're in the Championship as was promised, well it was actually the PL but I guess I'm being lenient

    As they say talk is cheap, after the first season when we got so near it looked possible, unfortunately the rest is history as they say.

    yes, difference is that Newcastle fans wouldn’t consider a player with 3 relegations on their CV as a “good player”.

    Newcastle fans are *almost* as deluded as scum fans. They are ridiculously easy to wind up. My point being that they go fecking apeshite constantly about Mile Ashley as they are perennial strugglers and have got relegated twice (then walked away with promotion the next year), yet at the Bantams We just think “oh well at least we still have a club to support”

    Still struggling to see the correlation here. Are they supposed to be successful by not accepting Mediocrity? Because they are far from it?

    He should have also turned down the managers job too, That last 3 months were a farce.

    Something else to be grateful to julian for

    We've signed more shite than quality every level we've been at, pretty much every year for the last 20. Bar maybe 2 or 3. We've been a shambolically run club for years.

    I'd say a high percentage of ALL signings are duds. How can it not be when 11 players play, but squad size is way higher. Most players don't play.

    It isn't important how many ineffective, non-starting, or outright poor players a club signs. It's important how good their better/first choice signings are.

    Prior to the ITV Sport crash, everybody signed players for fees. Literally every team paid money for players.

    I'm just saying you've way too far back there.

    Hes right though. It's not about the fee element, we've become a dumping ground, or a centre for has beens. Our recruitment is shocking.

    You are seriously calling Shay our biggest pound for pound let down? Are you too young to remember Hopkin?

    Devitt was a loan though. We've had far worse than him.

    Too young for Hopkin.

    Shay cost 250k and was a massive let down.
