staninoodle 168 #26 Posted October 13, 2021 (edited) Sport in sheffield has become a lot more diverse since the heyday of both football clubs in the early stages of the last century, we have since had decent ice hockey and basketball sides not to mention a fair few boxers that have been very successfull. I dont see huge gates as a pointer for success, newcastle have had large support for a number of years but won nothing, wimbledon managed a few seasons in the top 6 and won a major trophy on crowds of 8K, Im a fan of how Brentford do things, smart sustainable recruitment, to fit a a -playing style thats already a blueprint, and then recruit coaches and managers that fit the style, so even if you sack a manager, you can still recruit your targets when they become available at the right price. Sheffields more a sport city than a football city, the make up of the population has altered much in the 100 years since football heyday and given us successfull athletes across a diverse number of sports, but the door to football success is always open, it just takes someone with initiative to open it enough for the club to walk through.

Yes I’ll concede all of that, it’s a noted fact that football clubs, no matter which, don’t survive on the gate receipts alone, they help but other more important factors prevail. The business acumen of the top guy is very important, I’ve a sneezy feeling that Mr Chansiri’s running of his main business will be about the same as that of his ‘hobby’. Your comparisons of Brentford and Wimbledon against Newcastle are not lost on me, there must be a player with similar abilities to those of Barry Bannan costing a lot less than £35K a week. As for the manager, luck is a factor, so giving an unproven one on a long contract paying mega money might not be the smartest thing to do Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Alextopman 1,379 #28 Posted October 14, 2021 (edited) Didn't Barry Bannan sign a new contract last season?. If Chansiri signed him up at £35,000 a week he needs certifying. Edited October 14, 2021 by Alextopman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

You are right , although no footballer is worth that per week . A nurse gets around twenty grand a YEAR , a carer around 15 grand .

Morts 17 #35 Posted October 17, 2021 For the first time in a few years I bought a Sunday newspaper this morning. The Sunday Times no less. I needed a non tabloid paper for masking a room whilst decorating. However after getting over the £3 charge I thought I’d read it before using it for masking. United…..22 words in the Championship Round-Up. It mentions the Stoke scorer but no mention of United’s scorers! Wednesday…..diddly squat in the League One Round Up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
