It’s probably for the best he doesn’t get on here. If he did he’d have been scared stiff of being locked in a cellar, sexually assaulted, and young ladies lurking in the bushes. Not to mention men eating their own testicles and underwear, plus pages of discussion about chocolate drinks, tea and biscuit etiquette. And that’s just this thread ( which should be made gold btw ) god knows what reading pure football would do to him.

So some of the things we talked about

  • 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 :lol:
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.
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. :cool: xx


Totally buzzing it’s been a tremendous day, the best day I’ve had since I found out about me dad’s diagnosis xx

Glad you had a good day and I am sure your dad will be pleased to bits. sweet dreams tonight for you all.

with the other stuff, why are players given 3 shirts of different sorts. I am puzzled by that

I have mentioned before about the strip order. its to do with the manufacturers run time to do with exact dyes. they really have us over a barrell as we have to order what we expect to sell months before hand. The light blue away amazed everybody how popular it was and hence some sizes sold out very early on.

mention of Niall with another consortium, should shut a few people up as some say it never happened

glad the manager is relaxed. I can just imagine Juan and Jack talking to each other, could be like a sketch from the two ronnies

got to be a grand lad if he doesn't like mags b

anyway, I hope you can open a bottle of wine tonight and have pleasant thoughts.

Great Janey, a real positive day for you and your family topped off by a 3-0 home win. And - probably one of the best ever threads on here.

Totally chiffed for you and your family Janey.

Thank you for sharing it all and giving us all a beautiful reminder of just what can happen when people make the effort.

All the very best to you all and get ready for the media to descend...even look north korea..
 
Wonderful to read. I'm glad you and your family had a great day @janey , thoroughly deserved for years of support through thick and thin!

Thanks for the recap too, don't suppose he mentioned the likelihood of Oviedo leaving? I'm sure from a money point of view they want his wages out of the club but from a football perspective we'd be better off with him here and playing!

They’d best send Jeff. She’d stick the nut on Dawnie. Plus she’d need her house fumigating.

Don't own such a thing. People should drink coffee!

You obviously make tea for those people who prefer their tea to be milky.

Otherwise known as sick bastards. :lol:

Nah just a touch of milk in them all. Makes it taste better doing it however i make it. According to the pesky tea drinkers. Whilst I enjoy a nice double espresso
