Yeah, even before that big choke they had that nearly cost them promotion, I heard several SWFC fans saying they really didn’t have that much faith in him as a manager.
Anyway, difficult evening for De Barr against Ireland. Was pretty isolated in attack but did win a couple of corners. Defenders were the highlights for Gibraltar despite the 3-0 loss.
Don't get Moore going - perhaps there's rumblings behind the scenes as he's been linked with the Leeds job.
Can understand O'Neill leaving Bournemouth. Many clubs make a mistake in keeping a caretaker who has done well and it backfires. Their record wasn't outstanding and were helped by an absolute deluge of dross at the bottom of the league. As @ReturnToSenda suggests, I think they've upgraded.
GA and MB now up to the 70th and 71st longest serving managers of the 92. Insane. If they both last a year they would more or less be in the top 40 already, with two years basically getting them into the top 20.
Newcastle reportedly looking at taking Ruben Neves on loan once he signs for Al-Hilal - who are also owned by the Saudi state. What a strange coincidence 🤔
Totally off topic, but; BOOM Radio have a little slot where they list random facts about various places in the UK. Today's was... Peterborough. Amongst other facts, apparently it is on record as being the lowest point in the country. Well, who can argue with that.
Swanny would argue that the only low thing in Peterborough was our paint pot trophy attendance. And then he will print it all over the back pages of the local rag.
*Allegedly they seem to have found an investor who not only gives them money but also influences other clubs to pay over the odds for the players they want to shift
Enzo hasn't been a bad signing. Was he worth £100-odd? Probably not, but the transfer market is beyond skewed these days. Nkunku ought to work out - and he's a freebie to boot.
Pretty much, but Nkunku at least looks like he fits. I'd love to see them fail miserably again next season, but Poch will probably get a tune out of them.

Madness. The fans were on his back constantly. I wonder what a good season would have looked like to them.
Yeah, even before that big choke they had that nearly cost them promotion, I heard several SWFC fans saying they really didn’t have that much faith in him as a manager.
I wouldn’t mind choking with 96 points next season
If Blooms doesn't work out, Moore in?

Sounds like Moore left of his own accord...problems with the owners/leadership according to some fans.

That does feel like the most likely. Wednesday’s owner seems a bit of a twat to me.

Now that would be utterly ridiculous.
With Chelsea selling all their unwanted players for grossly inflated fees to Saudi going on, Man City will really have some competition next year...
for really shady practices.
Interesting that Bristol City have just signed Koji Miyoshi who (if he is as described by Gab Sutton on twitter) sounds very similar to Anis.
If Bristol City screw up Anis's development I shall be wroth.
Anis back on loan
Because I’m in a good mood I’ll forgive you for the fact that I very briefly took this as a breaking news alert.
Haha... sorry !

Good to see that Chelsea are almost as clueless in selling players as they are in buying them
Koulibaly? Far be it from me to defend Chelsea, but he has been absolutely rubbish.

Genius / Thoroughly corrupt *possibly, maybe *If true.
It'd be quite a debate about when the last good signing they made was.
All of the recent insane money on long contract crew aside, they had Werner, Lukaku, Ziyech, Havertz, Pulisic, Sterling, Auba.
Woeful to average .

Chelsea have had a mad run of poor striker signings haven't they?
Since Drogba, is it only Costa who has moved beyond decent?
Pretty much, but Nkunku at least looks like he fits. I'd love to see them fail miserably again next season, but Poch will probably get a tune out of them.
The level of money they've put in will get them back into the mix sooner or later.
Even if that "mix" is only scuffling for top 4.
Until the league grow some balls and / or Pep disappear it's hard to see City dropping off.
Chelsea are terrible at developing young talent, too. Players rarely seem to improve there, and often regress.

Ummm…think you might have the wrong #BCFC there…

Ah ok that makes much more sense!
Chelsea have been refused permission to have Paramount+ as their new shirt sponsor and are instead in talks with Stake.com.
So it’s a no to an entertainment provider but a yes to an online casino?
Over 75% of members of the supporters trust are against Stake.com.
