I'm ot concerned with them blocking it, I'm concerned that it may be the start of the road that sees us kicked out of the English league and sent to play in Welch competitions full time. But even so we should wait and see.
Wpomens teams are irrelevant to this question.
Not just Europe, the extra games beofre we worry about Europe and the larger squad size we'd need to cope with it therefpre meaning a bigger wage bill. Would we get the crowds to cover necessary costs? |

I don't mind Gabby Logan,, Chapman is a solid shout but Cates? Not so keen there. If they wanted to box tick, Eluko or Micah Richards.
I agree with the idea of an ex manager doing it, getting an opinion from the management rather than either ex players or someone who knows not what they talk about. |

It's guaranteed in Wales though, very wet and often really cold.
This game, it's become meaningless to me this season. Agfter watching us at Portsmouth then seeing the car crash at Southampton on tv, I have no hope, not even the faintest glimmer, that we can take anything from it beisdes some damage to our goal difference.
Turned out I could have had tickets but chose not to, not for a game 30 minutes away that sees me out longer than the trip to Pompey. |

Evidence of back door trading to make sure they are compliant, inflated transfer fees for kids, dodgy loan deals, it's all corrupt. |

When would these games fall? Would they clash with the FA or Carabao cups? What if they clash with a league game and the EFL don't give us permission to rearrange?
What if we got kicked out of the EFL? Don't say that couldn't happen either. Then, what, and I know it's a biggy, what if we got to the Premier league again and did really well?
Big clubs with much bigger squads than ours moan about the number of games and we play 8 more than them as standard. 4 more in Wales and then we have a decent cup run...
It's just not viable.
Looking at it from another angle, if our "investors" want to sell us in the future, they really don't want us to be expelled from the English league because then we'd be worth about 3.50 and a tin of beans. We couldn't afford our stadium, hell we couldn't even afford to keep one member of our first team if that happened.
Lets wait to see what the EFL say. |

I think you are wrong, the moneu would be ncome thrpough football, not money spunked out by a rich benefactor. I think it would be ok. Not that it changes my mind, I'm against doing this.
Too many games, potentially waaay too many. Too much money needing to be spent to get a big enough AND good enough squad, that's probably P&S broken before we kick a ball. Then the EFL thing, would clubs object, would the EFL look at expellong us?
No thanks. It could ruin us or it could be brilliant but I think the latter is less likely. |

Sorry but that's crazy, haven't you noticed how much we are struggling right now? Our squad is paper thin and we are no allowed to spend, spend to bulk it up to a point where can do all those games and even then, what if we have good cup runs?
Then there's the threat to our EFL status, that could happen and I don't see other EFL clubs being happy with our backdoor into European competition which could be a money spinner and so give us a financial advantage in the league.
It just doesn't work for me. |

I don't agree with you, it was an independent thought from before you started posting, with this username at least.
The trust were indulged but not listened too just like Levein and Kaplan often ignored what the manager wanted. Cooper told them what he wanted but got what he didn't want and you talk about influence coming from respect?
You can't force anybody to buy your shares, that's an absurd claim. |

Solved at the tailpipe eh. Well that's almost good to know. Meanwhile Wales is increasing the "pollution control" areas. |

And if he can make a success of this then maybe the doom and gloom mongers who would have us rejpoin the EU can be silenced. Imagine if Keir Starmer is the architect of the brave new world where the UK is thriving and better off than when inside the EU?
This btave new world wouldn't be anything like Huxley's version obviouslky, apart from the engineered intelligence. Can he do it? |

15 minute towns and cities was what we had before supermarkets and "out of town shopping"
As a kid I could walk for no more than 10 minutes and visit 2 butchers, a greengrocers, a fishmongers; an ironmongers, 2 chemists, 2 doctors surgeries, various clothes shops and 2 chip shops with 1 pub, the White Rose, s hairdressers and a barber.
Food was sold in paper bags too, bottles were glass and were rcycled.
Why was that worse than today? Why would a 15 minute city be so bad....well because the conspiracy "experts" think it means they'll restrict our travelling. |

Where we used to live we had a neighbour who was fighting for her son to be diagnosed with ADHD, a family member told us it was because she wanted to give up working. She could just have been bitching I guess.
The benefits system regards this kind of thing, it's out of control but a lot of people feel entitled to this "help" so no wonder there's no money. |

Except they didn't shut it off, officialy anyway...
LADWP’s explanation for the shortage comes down to three nearby water tanks, each with a storage capacity of about a million gallons. These tanks help maintain enough pressure for water to flow from fire hydrants in uphill areas — but the pressure had decreased due to heavy water use, and officials knew the tanks couldn’t keep up the drain forever.
“We pushed the system to the extreme,” LADWP CEO Janisse Quiñones said in a news conference. “Four times the normal demand was seen for 15 hours straight, which lowered our water pressure.”
According to LADWP, the tanks’ water supply needed to be replenished in order to provide enough pressure for the water to flow through fire hydrants uphill. But officials said as firefighters drew more and more water from the trunk line, or main supply, they used water that would have refilled the tanks, eventually depleting them.
There you go. The water wasn't shut off, it was running out and they couldn't refill it quick enough to keep pressure up. Hundredss of fire hoses going full blast for 15 hours and more, it could have that effect. |

Yes you can vote but if 21% of the votes are for one thing but the 79% want something else, what happens? Who wins?
You seem to believe the trust could force the owners to go in a different direction. The trust had no influence because they had 21% of shars, if they'd had 51% then they'd have influence. You do understand how a majority decision works?
You said Gyorkeres was available to us, after the way Cooper had treated him, why would he sign for us? That's before we wonder of we'd have offered enough....oh wait, we know we wouldn't have because Levein and Kaplan pulled the rug even after agreeing a fee, at least once.
You say the trust chased HJ out...risible, klaughable even. HJ had been making very bad decisions, he re-signed Bony and Ayew and cost the Swans tens of millions and the fans all around the stadium weren't happy with him. |

Our first 11 isn't that bad, we need strength in depth because after the first 2/3 subs we have nothing so when somebody is missing, we struggle.
It is massively compounded by having a coach who looks so far out of his depth, a coach who doesn't make changes when needed but the same changes time and again (often around the 60 minute mark), a coach who uses players out of position.
People say we need an experienced coach, how about a capable coach? How about a coach who uses the squad to its strengths and stops fannying around in defence with stupid, suicidal passing (a la Russell Martin, somebody did warnus!) on the edge of our box. How about taking chances going forward and not always looking for the safe pass because, no such thing, how about telling our midfield to get forward more quickly?
It's a simple rule, even Man City and Liverpool obey it, if under pressure in and around the penalty area, if there's no easy pass on then "av it" and hit the ball as high and as long as possible.
Playing possession football is fine except when it costs you points. Shooting more often might help too. How many shots did we manage today? |

Well that seems bloody stupid, doesn't it. What if Vigoroux gets injured, we'll have McLaughlin for the duration? After today that's a tad worrying.
So lets see, we have no decent cover at goalkeeper, we have no decent cover at centre back, we only really have (of any quality) Joe Allen to cover midfield, we have no cover on the wings, we have no cover at stirker, it's Bianchini or Vipotnik.
Just as well Coleman took over when he did eh or after this window we 'd be asking O'Leary and Robinson to come out of retirement, oh and bring Trunds and Curt with you... |
