I’ve just been chatting to George Caulkin, he wants to use it as an example, in his match report, about how things are changing
........ bloody priceless xx
Where will I be able to read it and when J? Any idea.He will, he let me read it and I trust him to change what I asked him to change
Classwas talking to a lad who sits next to us at the match today, can't remember how but he mentioned about our owners popping in to see a bloke who was out of fettle and his family on the way to the game.
i'm chuffed for you janey. regards to you all. your dad looks cool as ice mind
xxTimes, problem is it’s behind a paywall on line
D has a subscription, I can use her log in if I know when it will be published.Class
He is
Times, problem is it’s behind a paywall on line
Tomorrow I think, because it’s part of his overall match report. x
Ah that’s a nice photo, great stuff for going along to meet your old man, and I hope he really enjoyed the visit and you as well @janey
Ey up.
The best bit was you duplicating the whats on tv thread.Excellent. You still buzzing? What a day it’s been for ya
Jean ‘as a longue moustache!
xxTotally buzzing it’s been a tremendous day, the best day I’ve had since I found out about me dad’s diagnosis xxExcellent. You still buzzing? What a day it’s been for ya
Chuffed to bits for your Dad and yourself. If anyone deserves today it’s you.So some of the things we talked about
I’m certain we are in good hands, if for whatever reason it doesn’t work, it won’t be because of a lack of effort, commitment or determination.
- He couldn’t get over me dad going to his first game in 1948
- He asked me dad if there was absolutely anything he could do to help him go to the match
- He spoke to them about being teachers
- He couldn’t praise the fans highly enough, and said they just want to win games for us because we are brilliant, but in some ways that adds pressure (wasn’t complaining about that).
- He said there is so much to do. He goes in on a morning thinking he has a plan of work, but other stuff is cropping up all of the time.
- They both laughed when I said thanks for getting a goalkeeper with hands.
- We have been haemorrhaging money (no surprise there) one example he gave was that the players got three strips, a home, away and third strip every game. That’s been stopped, they are selling the shirts in the club shop the players would have got, saving £250,000.
- The strip order is stupid, there was 16,000 on order and no more can be ordered so, for example, if we got to Wembley (aye I know) they couldn’t order anymore regardless of demand.
- Any spend over £500 now has to be signed off by two people.
- Tony Coton has spoken to Niall Quinn about being involved, Niall was part of another consortium so it hasn’t happened yet, he’d like to think it will.
- Jack Ross is totally relaxed about signings, he’s been the one stressed. We did go after Billy Sharpe all summer, he was told by Sheffield Utd he wouldn’t play, so they were hopeful. Then he started playing.
- Jack Ross is more concerned about how he sets the team up than more signings.
- Oviedo and Cattermole’s wages alone are more than some League 1 teams wages in total. So that’s the biggest budget issue/debate covered.
- He didn’t criticise Cattermole one bit, but did say to give anyone a deal that long is crackers.
- He wanted another striker for this weekend, jack Ross didn’t, because he knows Sinclair and Wyke will be fit soon.
- When Juan and Jack Ross talk to each other it’s hilarious because neither understand what they are saying so they just nod their heads and smile
- I think our theory that if we get promoted and are moving in the right direction Juan will take over is right.
- Juan is a very sexy man, well okay Stewart Donald didn’t say that but I certainly think so
What a bloody day, it was honestly like sitting chatting football with your mates it was that relaxed.
Thank you all for this thread, it’s been bloody tremendous.
Totally buzzing it’s been a tremendous day, the best day I’ve had since I found out about me dad’s diagnosis xx
