    Chris Wilder SACKED

    Seems very much an overreaction. Looks like they want a coach who solely works with the players he is given with little or no say over transfers (sounds familiar). Might well regret it come Xmas if they are not in the automatic places.

    Due diligence or dithering?

    Wonder what an incoming manager would feel about not being able to sign players but rather the club chose them. Pretty unusual situation.

    Postecoglou sacked

    Their poor league form goes back to the season before last as well. The league form over the last 18 months is what’s done for him. Seems a likeable bloke but that’s not enough. Will get a decent job in England or Europe.

    Michael Carrick Appreciation Thread

    A bit of a trade off. Probably a very good coach as proven by his improvement of players and their subsequent sales. However Gibson is first and foremost about sporting success and ultimately he failed on this metric Wish him all the best for the future.

    Luke Ayling

    12 months is a lifetime in football. This time last year, everyone was wanting him signed up and were glad we beat Sheff Utd to his signature. It was always a risky signing given his age, but injuries affected him a fair amount this season (along with the rest of the squad). If we can somehow...

    Yorkshire

    Agree. Had enough time to easily bowl Essex out especially as they were four down overnight. We lack a decent spinner who will take final day wickets. Bess bowls a lot of overs but doesn't get enough wickets. Moriarty doesn't fill you with any fear either. Need some good spinners to come through...

    Carrick absolutely needs to go

    He's just trying to take the pressure off the players - whether you agree with the statement or not. I'm sure in private, all would class the season as disappointing if we missed out on the play-offs, some even if we did miraculously make them too!

    Article on Van Den Berg in the Gazette

    He's been generally poor this season - possibly due to his injuries and never being properly 'fit'. While never the quickest, he seems to have been running in treacle on occasions this season. About the same speed as Fry! At least Howson has the excuse of being in his mid thirties for his lack...

    Eni Aluko having a pop at Ian Wright

    She basically said that there is still relatively limited coverage of the women's game compared to the men's game which is true. This then correlates to having less presenters, pundits and commentators, and less opportunities for women to break through in the industry (should be easier for them...

    Carrick absolutely needs to go

    I think it's fair to say, more likely than not, there will be a mutual parting in the summer, probably soon after the Cov game. I like Carrick but it seems things have run their natural course.

    Howson going forward…

    Yeah. Dijksteel was very poor on the ball and slowing up a lot of our attacks. Definitely need a ball playing right back for next season.

    It’s in our hands…..sort of

    With Sheffield Wednesday’s dreadful home record, you know what’s likely to happen!!!

    It’s in our hands…..sort of

    It was very scrappy today but we got there in the end. However all our games will be tough the way we are playing. You expect the season to end every game we play!

    Agents Fees Paid By Championship Clubs 24/25: Gazette

    I guess that comes with the territory when you are moving on a lot of mulit-million pound players around the globe, many on loan, and then buying and loaning a lot of players to replace those who have left. Ours is pretty high as well for a non-parachute team.
