Agreed. Given that contracts get very very detailed over bonuses, sell on clauses etc, how do you lawyers not write in something in that says ... 'if you are out injured for more that 6 months, your pay drops 50%' or 'if your injured for 12 months, we reserve the right to terminate your contract pay 25% of outstanding amounts' Might sound harsh, but lets not forget these guys are on tens of thousands per week! Surely clubs should get together contracts people together and agree on something like this save being taken to the cleaners by agents. Remeber its the fans that are paying for it. My last employment contract said something like 'if you are off sick for a year, we can terminate you employment on the grounds of ill health'

Is it the players? Is it the manager? Is it the tactics? Is it Sports Republic? I really have no f***king idea idea anymore

I have a season ticket and am a 'lifer', so 'have' to go, but I'm astonished that each home game is a sell out. SR must be laughing their cocks off ... 'no matter how shit we are, they just keep coming and paying'. Probably get 30k per home game next season too. Where's the problem they say?

I've got both coming up. Might start a crowd fund for some vaesline.

So true. We are way way worse than we were the last time we were relegated. This is an average championship team if I'm being generous. The best will leave in the summer and we'll be left with a sub standard championship team. There will be incomings but given SR's success in recruitment you can see how most are fearful for next season.

LOL. Were you at Wembley? Look, we scored the only goal that matters but were second best and I would never say we 'breezed' it.

Question answered.

Absolutely. Closing the the Kingsland to save a few quid seems daft. People in corners when they could just as easily be in padded seats on the half way line. Had a call from hospitality asking if I was interested in £90 seats to look at an empty stand opposite where seats should be a tenner. A half empty stadium in a city centre on a Saturday afternoon, talk about leaving money on the table. They could have got some of our excess players to man the bars. Would Ross Stewart's injuries prevent him from doing that? Surely he has to do some work at some point.

I thought that in Dragan's recent radio interview he confirmed that its an 18 month contract with Juric and he'll be here next season (not that a football chairman's word is worth much of course)

making way for Andy Carroll

We'll get an indication a week Saturday. High flying Championship side vs our best (as it stands today).

Very poor subs. This manager is looking pants. As for Smallbone, all I saw was him jogging about.

You just couldn't make this shit up.

Subs have changed the game. Why oh why do we not learn

Hopefully smallbone coming off
