Grayson has rocked up at Bradford now. I can't think of another piece of Gammon that was managed all "the big three" of W Yorkshire.

"But people are saying 99 per cent of Bradford City fans are happy with the appointment."I'm not being big-headed, they should be because I'm a Championship manager."To get someone like myself is a coup for the club and the owners have worked extremely hard to do that.

I meant to mention this week: going 1-0 down after 88 minutes and ending up winning 2-1 is probably the actual best thing.

All the other top teams lost so now we're 7 clear with 2 games in hand. Beginning to feel a bit more confident.

We should take a moment to laugh at Billericay too.
Glenn Tamplin resigned yesterday as manager after being spanked by Wealdstone but never fear, he installed himself as assistant manager until the end of the season. A man of his word though, he did say in a twitter meltdown midweek (which he's since deleted) that he would.
It's been quite a February for him though:

Luton Town manager, Welshman Nathan Jones, tells BBC Look East that it's "nice to be compared to Manchester City"
What a fucking tool, seriously. I've seen dicks like that before go straight up again or straight down again after a L2 promotion. But they never amount to shit.

Yeah I went to Luton the other week in the cold and the rain and we lost 1-0 and it was not terribly joyous. They looked good in that big-strong-well-organised-lads way that usually wins this division. We went to a really odd pub in Harpenden which seems to double as a genteel home counties tearoom but that is another matter. I don't have anything particular against Luton Town. In a division featuring the likes of Ainsworth and (until this morning, apparently) Evans, Nathan Jones seems OK.
(Coventry fwiw put on the best performance I have seen this season as they/you blew our outrageous early season unbeaten run to pieces, Coventry always an excellent day out also obv.)
― Tim, Wednesday, 28 February 2018 10:50 (six years ago) link
I am very keen for Wycombe( at least under Ainsworth) to go absolutely nowhere. I am even keener for them not to be in the same division as us.

Big strong well-organised lads can prosper in L1 as well, as Shrewsbury are showing. It was tremendously disappointing that we basically let them have their way entirely last week. Karl Robinson is supposed to be some kind of tactical wizard who can transcend the drudgery of lower-league football *pukes*

did i hear correctly that the transfer window will shut after gw1 in the efl next year?
― nxd, Wednesday, 28 February 2018 11:04 (six years ago) link
That is my understanding; I'm not sure what difference that is supposed to make, but our club board seem chill about it so I am not worrying too much.
― Tim, Wednesday, 28 February 2018 11:46 (six years ago) link
i guess it means we won't get players like ben stevenson nabbed a couple of weeks in with no means to replace him
― nxd, Wednesday, 28 February 2018 11:55 (six years ago) link
I guess? But I don't see how it stops you / us having players nabbed one week in (or no weeks in) with no means to replace them?

well for cov, sisu don't seem to keen to buy players so we kinda rely on free transfers in the summerquite loose terms for supporting it from me i guess haha

We've bought (IIRC) three players in the last 15 years or so, and one of those was Β£10K.

― nxd, Wednesday, 28 February 2018 12:25 (six years ago) link
haha wasn't trying to touchΓ©! I guess this will stop clubs panic-buying when they start a season really badly, but that aside it just seems to change the date without changing the conditions. I imagine there are times when a club thinks things are all sorted for the autumn and then they get blindsided by an unrefusable bid at the last minute but I bet that doesn't happen often.
(Regular placeholder here to note that Chelsea still haven't paid a fee for Ethan Ampadu; rumour has it we're after Β£3m and they won't budge over Β£1.5M. Tiny sums to them, massive to us. Going to tribunal, at which (no doubt) they'll be paying expensive representatives handsomely in order to keep the fee to us as low as possible. He has already seen first team action and Conte's always on about how good he is. Gah.)

― nxd, Wednesday, 28 February 2018 13:25 (six years ago) link
ChampMan OTM. (That Β£1.5m would not quite equal our entire gate receipts for a normal season, by my rough calculations, but would go most of the way.)
