Davis on his debut had come back from Australia a few days before. That didn’t go so well! I may be wrong but I’d say Edmundson will be a guaranteed starter on Friday. |
| Forum Reply | How much does a football stand cost? at 11:32 25 Mar 2024
I think I read that Fulham’s new Riverside stand cost north of £80 million. Don’t know what that entailed exactly but I can’t imagine a complete rebuild of the Cobbold being much cheaper, if at all. It will be one hell of an investment if we do it and can’t see anything happening without PL money. |
| Forum Reply | £250m + valuation. A mystery to me at 12:10 24 Mar 2024
At the risk of being overly simplistic it’s a bit like property in that it’s worth what someone is prepared to pay for it. The new investors have presumably done their due diligence and are happy with the valuation, which is what counts I guess. The club is certainly worth a lot more than when Evans was allowing it to rot but I must admit the increase in perceived value is remarkable over such a short period even allowing for the turnaround in our fortunes on the pitch. |

What you’ve got to remember is that the new owners are having to make up for the complete lack of investment by Marcus Evans during his tenure. Apart from a lick of paint to a few turnstiles absolutely nothing was done. By the time of the takeover the infrastructure was literally falling apart and staffing had been cut to the bone. Bottom line is we are playing catch up big time and it’s costly. |

It was Evans penny pinching that stopped us applying for Cat 1 status when the system started. It’s going to be a lot more difficult now as the existing Cat 1 Academies effectively pulled up the drawbridge. Having said that if anyone can get us upgraded this ownership can! |

Our tactics once we scored were poor. Cardiff hadn’t laid a glove on us in the second half until we sat back after scoring and invited them to attack us, which was an odd thing to do against a team who have scored the majority of their home goals from set pieces this season. We made a mistake but it’s how we react to it that will decide how the rest of the season goes! |

He shouldn’t have to ponder for long! He didn’t know how to run a football club, he didn’t employ anyone who knew how to run a football club and once Plan A blew up spectacularly in his face there wasn’t a Plan B. The lack of self awareness was frightening at times. |

They are all pivotal. All we can do is stay in touch with Leeds and Southampton so that if they do falter we are in a position to take advantage. Got to be honest, I can’t see both of them messing up but stranger things have happened! |
| Forum Reply | So what happened to A Griffin last night at 22:36 15 Feb 2024
He’s getting a lot of stick on X for some reason as well. Can’t see the point of it personally, if you don’t like what he does don’t watch it. Same with all the online content from various sources. |

Almost inevitable unfortunately. I’m sure Ashton and co have plans in place if/when it happens but I do wonder what effect all the speculation will have on the squad now for the run in. Personally I used to like a bit of certainty at work and always found uncertainty unsettling. I know football is different to most jobs but makes me wonder if it could upset the togetherness which has been such a feature of the club recently. |

More likely they park the bus and we can’t break them down! |

Indeed he did. He said he left because Wolves had more potential. Didn’t work out so well for him that! |
