The Football News Thread 2018/19 - everything not Wolves

[Sniffer]

I like Monk and his stock is certainly back on an upward curve with the job he has done at Blues since taking over. The lifting of the transfer ban and the points being docked this season increases the likelihood of him still being there next. I would have said he would have looked for a way out if they were starting next season on minus points.

Adam Johnson is out of jail. Bet you someone signs him next season.

A lower league club who have a chairman that loves publicity...good or bad.

Oldham I reckon.

 

[b3h]

Yeah someone deffo will.

Jon Walters has retired due to an achilles injury

Not sure that they will - PR disaster of the first order - most don't have enough fans coming into the ground (& limited other income streams) to lose too much of the funds received from them & any club will have a proportion who won't stomach signing him.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Not sure he'll want to get back into it anyway, not exactly going to have an inviting environment in the dressing room anywhere even if there's a chairman/manager willing to take him on as damaged goods.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Killer Hughes and Rapist Ched seemed to manage ok.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Think there's far more stigma attached to being a nonce.

Hughes just seemed to lack any remorse to care what people think of him and Evans always protested his innocence too. Johnson was caught bang to rights and knew full well what he was doing, he can't talk his way out of the inevitable heckling. It would be relentless and I can't see that he'd really need the money enough to put up with it.

 

[Kenny]

Johnson thought he was innocent. If he still thinks that, then he will want the career that was taken from him back.

Ideally he will hide away and get on with life away from the game.

Vale next up to face going pop because an owner is a giant fuckwit

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

He's an absolute fruitloop.

Nuneaton are fucked too and he's also involved there.

 

[Johnny75]

He's a weapons grade arsehole. Vale fans hate him with a passion, makes our dislike for Gammon Scouse look like a mere spat.

Was a bit awkward on talkshite last night when they asked blues fans who was to blame. Obviously people rang in saying Harry Redknapp And Danny Kelly didn’t really want to go in on him as “he’s a mate of mine”

Just scoping out online where we’ll be sitting (standing) next season at Spurs.

 

[Donegal Wolf]

John Delaney resigns as CEO of the FAI, becoming executive vice-president.

Slimy fucker is trying to side step political questions as to why he had to loan the association he runs (with an annual turnover of €49million) €100k back in 2017 due to cashflow difficulties, seems not too keen to answer questions as to why they needed a loan? or why the fuck they couldnt go to a bank for it?

Seems Niall Quinn is leading candidate to take over, not sure what to make of that.

That's nowhere near 10% of capacity surely?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

No requirement for that in league games, 3k is standard in the PL (unless it's a crappy little ground and then we get less). We don't get nearly 8k at Old Trafford...

This is not a good look for Cardiff.
