    Personally I would give it to Lex Lamb, the telegraph’s chief sports writer.

    He seems to have all of the answers…..

    But what about WG? The man who knows everything……

    You forgot to insert ” thinks he ” between who and knows.

    Hope the lad can get his life back on track, he’s got bags of ability but as soon as the charge about assaulting a police officer was made public it was pretty obvious he was toast here. Could take him a while to rebuild his career but I hope with the right help he gets there.

    Ha ha maybe Cass maybe,personally I think if Trump loses next month his main priority will be staying out of jail, I think he will be in a lot of trouble if he gets voted out.

    ….but Cass doesn’t that bring us back around to the same old point, Swann believes he is correct doing it his way, he thinks it will eventually come right doing it his way. It’s a bit like telling Trump not to wear make-up because it makes him look as big a twat as he sounds, these egotistical people just don’t get it because their way is the only way. It’s sad but true, we are shafted.

    The difference is that, despite being as you describe, Trump’s ego and tactics won an election, our tactics (whoever is to blame) are winning b….. all!

    Fair points Cass but Swann got us promoted once under his Chairmanship and its now gone Pete Tong and Trump is heading for a kicking this time around so I will stick to my original points.

    Well a win is a win and these lads can be drafted into the first team as Cox sees fit but it is only an U23 game, Huddersfield may have fielded a bunch of kids today. Still well done guys and a clean sheet plus four goals scored is a great boost for moral.

    It’s the Chairman that needs sorting out, all this chopping and changing managers is under his watch and the crap footy since Alexander’s last few month’s in charge has been under his watch. Club is seemingly rotten from the top down.

    I see Paul Scholes has taken over as manager at Salford, can’t see that lasting he will probably fall out with the owners….. oh wait….

    He isn’t the first player full stop mick not just here. Some high profile players in the past have made national headlines, Merson, Adams, Best etc so it’s the ability to handle the pressure of the professional game at whatever level that is a good point of discussion. I guess some people just can’t hack it for whatever reason but the high profile players tend to get more attention and as a result usually more help. In the case of our man he may get help if he needs it but I will be surprised if he gets kept on if found guilty. Smacking a copper, not a good look on your CV.

    Clearly there are some valid points raised about his personal problems and the mental anguish he may be going through as a result and one wonders if maybe being a full time professional footballer is not the best occupation for him. There are a lot of pressures within the game and many have been well documented over recent years, perhaps a part time playing role in non league and a career in coaching might be a less stressful path for him. I know he is still young at 25 but if the pressures are too great and cause his personality to flip now and again maybe he’s better considering his options rather then being full time. Just a theory.

    Gotcha, mind you if his injury record is anything like usual he will have plenty of time to go visit and get his cozzy on.

    Let’s be honest guys if you are charged with assaulting a policeman what are your chances of being cleared? As Mrs Doubtfire once famously said, ” wake up and smell the coffee dear “.

    Maybe he likes cows and curries? Hope he doesn’t go for a swim in the Ganges, that could finish his career for good.😂

    Well I guess that’s another big wage earner off the books, he won’t come back from this playing for us, not assaulting a policeman. Sad end but he’s obviously got issues that need addressing with him having previous.

    Don’t think Hakeeb got over his bad ankle injury that occurred very early in his BCFC career, I know he went on loan to Rotherham at some stage last season but I guess he’s struggling for fitness and form as a result of that injury. Grant and Cliff could well do a very good job with him at Hull, exciting player when fit and on form.

    If the government don’t put a rescue package together, which they probably won’t because other businesses will say ” what about us” and quite right too, then it’s over. Sit back and wait for the end for football in this country as we have known it all our lives.

    I was hoping that everyone will give him two seasons in charge before people putting the boot in Ferrite,( not saying anyone is at the moment) We’ve got the man fans wanted now let him get on with it, just don’t expect an instant fix if we get one then all well and good if we don’t just roll with it. It was said that Cox had input into the signings before he became manager so let’s blame a certain person and I don’t mean Boris.

    More of this and what SBB said.

    I would think the New Year will be a tipping point, if no financial package is in place by then it could be terminal for a lot of clubs.

    Football definitely cancelled for scunny fans this weekend, the council won’t even let us ask to be a pilot event, about par for the course.

    If the rate keeps going up then the outcome will be the same, some might not agree about what’s going on with the restrictions but the government and local authorities won’t be changing their minds anytime soon, better get used to it.

    Not at all I just urge you to ring the new manager and advise him, you appear to know better, I think you should contact him and put him right, he could well be very grateful to be put on the right track by such a loyal supporter. Not having second thoughts are you? Dont, go for it.

    What’s going on with all the bad language?

    It’s been said that Cox needs time, first management position with a large squad of young and inexperienced players. It will be a season of experiment and learning. A finish outside of relegation will be seen as acceptable by the owners and we’ll have to settle for that.

    This.

    Which brings us full circle again Ferrite and the point that the authorities and the Premier clubs don’t give a toss about the future of the current league set up. They sit on their hands and pontificate with there “do nothing approach” regarding the points you make. The structure is in freefall, this time next year it will be gone without a major shift by the authorities, sad but true.

    Fair points Cliff but the lower leagues main revenue for most clubs is the gate money and as the bigger clubs have deals in place from sugar daddys like Sky which help them considerably more then the other 72 clubs. I agree broadly with the points you make but what about the ” big football family ” that gets touted about our league structure, one big football family etc etc? The bigger clubs could do more if they got together and approached the FA with some ideas, should they?, will they? We all probably know the answer, the little guys will fold, so get your nostalgia stories ready in a few months time.
