Let's face it you can't get your head around the seriousness of the allegations (why it has taken so long). Why it is so difficult to prove and they may not have breeched. Everton and Forest clearly overspent. It is clear in their accounts. Forest deliberately overspent expecting a fine...

You obviously don't understand the original allegations, why it has taken so long to investigate (because it's involved the clubs lawyers and individual people lawyers) and why the potential allegations are melting away. We are now at the tail end and coming to a conclusion. Nothing will have...

Because it's to do with financial regulations that applies to any business. That is the crucial pivot to proving most the allegations with Manchester City. If they can't prove the accounts historically submitted, audited and accepted were false, they can't prove the breaches of football...

It's well known the Manchester City allegations were always going to be difficult to prove just like they would be with any business - nothing to do with football rules. It's about financial regulations that apply to any business.

Because in their case the allegations are difficult to prove and that is why it has taken so long. There may be hundreds of allegations but without proof of certain key ones the rest just disappear, simple as that.

That is part of their defense. They main thrust of the investigation into Manchester, is around the validity of accounts filed and accepted. So the case isn't about just Manchester City, it is about Directors, and numerous accountants. It is a difficult case to prove. It is compounded by...

Manchester City are not under investigation for breaking the same rules as other teams that have had points deducted. The Manchester City situation/allegations are very complex.

Well, BTA has been playing with an injury. One of Lampard's remits is to develop players. We look to sell players at a profit not at a loss. I don't think Asanti will be out the door as soon as you think. Eccles is another I feel Lampard will see the potential in, to develop.

He has made it clear in interviews he is not in it for the money. But he needs to work and have the competitiveness he is used too. He said having the right relationship with the club owners and sharing a vision is important. I think he sees us as a sleeping giant with great fans and great...

Yes lots of fringe Ayari's about but they need real quality around them. You make it sound so simple when sides getting promoted are spending fortunes and are still coming straight back down. Ashley Grimes looked great at Manchester United. Came to us in the old top flight First Division and...

I lived in Sheffield in the mid 80's, they have always been low life glory hunters. I have always had far more respect for Sheffield United fans.

A lot of Rudoni s headed goals have been down to Simms dragging players to the near post. It's not always about what players do on the ball. Simms first touch is erratic. He can be a physical handful for defenders. He reacts well to 2nd ball in the box. He has pace once he gets into his...

But the best 11 is more fluid than fans think

But it is not like Robins didn't . Lampard has inherited them Fair play he is getting the best out of them. But I also think Lampard rates Eccles and Allen, unlike a lot of fans on here. Having played at the top level Lampard will be thinking how to utilise the squad, not fixating on his...

Not as much as Newcastle winning the cup today 😂

It's tactical. Lampard likes us to play narrow and be compact in the box.

I take it you wanted Kasey to stay with us?

People talk about Lampard's arrival as a marked divide between night and day. There were signs of slow improvement under Robins. Lampard has kicked us on. How much of that has been players feeling they have to prove themselves to a new manager. Or Lampard being a tactical genius is open to...

Wembley, last minute winner by Torp and Haji's toe is deemed to be on side.

Yes, I thought Paterson looked good on the ball when he came on. First touch was good and moved the ball well. He was in game management role and the best way to run the clock down and protect the clean sheet is keep the ball and just be sensible. Some will say the game was already won at...
