Remember when Sheridan was in charge and AL was just coming in, and then Sheridan turned up for training one day and there were 50 foreign players there who he stated were garbage and fucked em all off? Well now we just sign them all

Modern day Jesus Christ.

Top assists in the Europa League this season so far. Have to wonder at ALs ability when he lets Baxter and Byrne go for free

A lot of pointless effort in that.

1 week to go, and its still Sefil and Stott... FGR currently 5/4. Lump.

Favourite quote "we got him and Aribo for peanuts"

https://www.pafc.co.uk/news/2019/july/the-baxter-journey/ Nice piece that. I wouldnt mind a feature like that, so I could understand who the fuck these players we are signing are.

Hes wasted lower down the leagues. Crap pitches and played in a deep midfield role to accomodate other shite doesn't do his talent justice. Should be bang behind a big striker pulling strings with a decent midfield behind him. If he hadn't got injured early last year at Hampton, I have no doubt Frankie Bunn would not have got sacked and we would have been in a different position at xmas time.

Think there is talk of him entering to a guard of honour

From my memory he was absolutely awful!

We are less than 2 weeks from starting the season, and as I can see we are missing a central defensive partnership, a creative midfielder, 2 wingers, 2 strikers and a proper captain (not mardarse Maoche). Nice of them to get the time to gel in!

I can assume you spoke to Abdallah or Mo? Because anyone else giving you shit for that has no right giving opinions on football

Thats a bit kind. I know it was only a friendly highlights reel, but have they just picked up any random bloke off the street? He didn't even look like a footballer. Glad to see Branger has still got the ability to walk round like he was better than he is whilst losing it every time he touched it.

Either this is his genuine opinion, or he does this as a "wind up". Either way it can only be spice.

Exactly my thoughts from the games I watched. Im sure it was Crawley where I don't think he touched the ball? Although 6 appearances after not playing for a while may not be the best to judge. I hope he was just unfit and a decent pre season may see us get some sort of decent striker. His record of clubs before OAFC suggest he does have something in his locker. I dont want him to fail, but add to the fact BP is a strikers graveyard, I just pretty much expect him to.

So the pilot fucked up, but you clapped him off the plane anyway? Sounds about right for Latics fans

Except against Wrexham...

Would imagine Bradford could match his wages where some League 1 clubs won't, and despite the pain this gives me, are still quite a big club in the lower leagues.

I cant help but notice the squad looks tiny, both in terms of personnel and actual size. Besides Vera who may well still be smuggling COG in his stomach. The intensity in the training looks slow, whether that's because they just came back, or its only showing snips of the day I am not going to make judgement. I like the media side showing this stuff, despite the fact the edits are quite strangely put together. The one worrying thing for me is I have absolutely no affinity or care for a single person on that tour except maybe young Tom Hamer. We have one local lad and a couple of lower league nobodys, plus foreign players that most people can't even pronounce. The playing squad is as unrelatable as any that the club has ever had, and it is so difficult to have any passion or desire to get behind the team. The usual turnover of staff is to be expected these days, but last year when we had just been relegated to League 2 and was one of the lowest point in the clubs history we still had Clarke, we had re-signed Baxter (leaders and a joy to watch), we still had Byrne and Gardner (players who could win a game from nothing), players to look forward to watching and a real thought we should be challenging for the league title. Now though, I can't name a single player there that I would want to watch or am excited to see this season and I cannot see anything other than mid table mediocrity being the best we could hope for. It's such a shit time for "the fan", and these players and staff need to effectively win the league if they are to bring anybody back around to positivity again. Imo AL has a long term plan to become a recruitment company for foreign talent (loosely used) and then as soon as we get one gem to offload at profit. I for one prefer a local community club, not a recruitment business. I just hope we win the league, and as stated, it will probably change my opinion.

Who cares? If I owned a football club I'd be up top every week.

Maybe not just Agadir, but probably some Agader, and a few more Agader...

Jesus, they could have let me know before I renewed my ifollow membership.

How much, and when will I see a return on my investment?

When we had a "Manager" he still didnt make the signings. At least its out in the open now, as opposed to being fed through different managers leaving interviews to us.
