Unfortunately, Tony's strategy applies to both Players, Managers and probably every single member of staff. A strategy that has got us into Europe and for now at least, solidity in the EPL rather than being relegation scrappers - what exactly do people want? If a Manager accepts the strategy...

Just done some digging via the Racing Post and the Owners ‘Two plus three two plus four’ have at least 3 horses with Hugo Palmer - The Flying Seagull (runs today) plus Seagulls Eleven and Seagolazo who are both entered up in September's Weatherbys 2yo Race. Initial thoughts would be these...

Bart - 7 Did what he needed to do and dealt with a tricky free kick well when he could have been wiped out Veltman - 7.5 Doesn't give us the width of a marauding RB/RWB, but gives us stability when defending so when pragmatism is required (not an RDZ trait) he's a shoe in! Dunk - 7.5 Sprayed...

Pleased for Adam - we looked solid at the back........for a change ;-)

Simon Stone on the BBC has nailed it for me, firstly specifically about Brighton and also as a comparison to West Ham - it's just a dose of reality I'm afraid..... Matt, Birmingham: Brighton don't seem to be the same force as last season. Some say Roberto De Zerbi has been 'found out' but...

Oh if Premier League football is as easy as life as it appears Premier League players are robots, they must adhere to a stereotype dictated by fans and running a football club and recruitment is as easy as popping into a sweet shop and saying "I'll have that one"...... Mistakes are always going...

I would wager that 6 wins from 28 games is relegation form, so our last 6 games being relegation form, shouldn't really come as a surprise.

Glaring holes that saw us win 5 out of our first 6 games and topped a European Group?

This isn't new news. Were you privy to the conversations within the club as to what they tried and their strategy in respect of recruitment, what worked, what didn't work and why etc... otherwise it's very easy to throw blame without context. The club openly say they don't get everything right...

Re the BBC click bait comments (which I believe is click bait) the following is from the BBC match report: "I have big confidence in my players. I know how they feel when we lose a game. We lose together and we have keep going together" Hardly throwing the players under the bus!

Like most things in life, unless you are in the know, you ain't getting the full story. So are you accusing the club of deliberately denying RDZ prem-ready players with 100% concrete knowledge that this was the case or did the club try to move heaven and earth to accommodate this within the...

There seems to be a lot of vitriol towards RDZ at the moment, primarily is he really aligned to the Club's strategy? Can it also be said that this is the same for a section of our fanbase? It's no secret that we are not a "Big 6" club and we currently do not have the resources of those but have...

Unfortunately I have a Franchise so card payments are handled centrally and knowing our industry and rates others get, our buying group gets as good as can be got in our Industry.

As a small business owner selling high ticket priced, low margin business, my profit margins are highly influenced by how people pay. Bank Transfer is free, debit cards attract a certain fee to process, double that for credit cards and I don't take Amex as the processing fee doubles again (not...

Hi - thanks for all your help so far, my parents have an appointment at Crawley Town Hall this afternoon to discuss the Council Tax, so it's a start! Re the Benefit Calculators, they return totally different numbers for UC, Council Tax and Housing Benefit (assuming the input is correct this...
