New ex-players (and managers) thread

You´re right.....for a moment, I just thought he´d got his head on upside down.
Now 5-0 against West Ham

Should give me quite a few handy points in the "PA Cup friendly" vs Jeff. Don't know if it will be enough though.

Fat Sam achieved exactly what he wanted today.

Eh?

Eh?

Same as us. Why risk injuries on an already paper thin squad with unnecessary games?

Doesn't help the thousands of Hammers fans that travelled up to Nottingham. For a live game they took quite a few.
A refund would be a step too far though I reckon

It doesn't, but fans should already be aware that the number of teams who see the cup as anything other than a distraction is getting smaller each season. One day fans will just stop going and then the clubs win by having no cups to trouble themselves with.

If you win the FA cup, the total prize money adds up to a little over £3.3m. A nice sum for a mid/lower championship team but nothing compared to promotion. Considering most premier league teams will only get to round 5 at most then they'll earn roughly the same just by finishing one place higher in the league. For us, it's nothing compared to what promotion will give us. Until this all balances out then can the FA really complain that clubs don't take it seriously?

Also, just found out that the winning team in the capital one cup only gets £100,000 and nothing below semi finals apparently. No wonder people care even less about that.

All ture, though it'd be great if football was about winning as well as just £s

Maybe he could get a job at Millwall? He used to play for them, so the fans might accept his appointment

It would, be it hasn't been for a long time.

 

[SJN-Fox]

Not an ex player but Ian Holloway has been confirmed as the new manager at Millwall.

We are hearing Max Gradel is in talks about a return to Yorkshire! But sorry Leeds fans seems rivals Hull City are set to make a move for the St Etienne winger.

Happy days

Not so happy after the game when the London Branch's minibus was trashed by the Sunderland fans with the Northumbria Police looking on and doing SFA. Brand new vehicle too with less than 100 miles on the clock when we picked it up. Lost deposit = very expensive trip.
