Middlesbrough we’re really loud for the semi last year, but not usually that loud.

We soon shut them up and made them chuck their tin foil flags away in disgust

McCallum

Out of contract.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Norwich are much better than us, hence why they finished so far ahead of us.

West Brom have been more solid, Norwich were not 'much better' than us. If Kitching hadn't been sent off, i think we'd have got something at their place, and the points total between us was exaggerated by the effects of our cup run at the end of the season. I'll be surprised if they finish above us next season.

How many years parachute payments go on for?

[skybluericoh]

And they still have another year of parachute payments (albeit reduced)

I think they have now finished parachute payments. Relegated teams get something like 50% 1st season, 20% season 2 and an additional 20 in season 3 if they were in the PL for more than either 1 or two consecutive seasons. They were only there for 1 season I think? Could be wrong but the payment I looked up when talking to a fester fan at the start of the season.
If a team gets promoted they do not get the payment for that season apparently.

Ah yes, quite right. I forgot they got relegated straight back down after just 1 season.

They don’t, it expires after 2 seasons for them I thought?

Yeah, corrected as above.

I believe that’s bang on, so no more money for Norwich via parachute payments.

Why would you sack someone for losing a play off semi final, no stability there what so ever

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

I mean, technically it was later

Norwich City sack boss David Wagner after play-off loss at Leeds

Norwich City sack boss David Wagner less than 24 hours after their crushing Championship play-off semi-final defeat by Leeds.

Would Norwich be one of the few teams that might interest MR?

Their fans are, well some of them, but one comment I’ve seen on the BBC replying to someone saying they go through manager’s quickly was. “Only 3 in 7 years“ like that is an achievement. MR would be daft to go there unless they are willing to pay very big money.

they are becoming Watford mkII

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

No more parachute payments for Norwich, could be a tough rebuild

Delia Smith will be shitting her pants, sell sell sell.

She’s already shit her pants she’s a pensioner with Starmer to look forward to

 

[Jamesimus]

This is going to sound harsh, but I actually really don’t want to re-sign McCallum. Probably a better option than Dasilva, but I think we should be looking at better than that.

 

[Jamesimus]

We need to be looking at someone for the left side with equal defensive ability / age / resale value to MVE (who is apparently Conference level according to a previous poster who’s name eludes me…).

 

[SBAndy]

It’s a tricky one because I kind of agree, but realistically we’d need to spend £3-4m at least and McCallum’s available on a free.

100% this - for me, all Sam McC needs to sort out are his defensive positioning at times (having watched Ipswich v Norwich) but he still has youth on his side. i wouldn't be paying big money for that position if we could recruit him.

 

[blunted]

McCallum was looking great for us, improving all the time with a blistering shot. Think his career has stalled at Norwich due to bad management. Think Adi would put him back on course.

Watching the West Brom V Southampton PO game.If WBA keep playing the passing game at the back they will gift Saints a goal

 

[Tommo1993]

Amount of passes, amount of passes in the final third, % of passes in the final third. Unnecessary information, does anybody care?

Even as a bit of a stats geek, not in the slightest. It’s like broadcasters are about 10 years behind the curve on what data is meaningful.

A polite way to describe AAATB

 

[procdoc]

Southampton are the most boring team I’ve ever seen

 

[wingy]

The way their going they'll get mugged somehow, or pens!!

 

[Saddlebrains]

Fucking tedious watch Southampton are

 

[SBAndy]

For all their “passes in the final third” they’ve had 1 shot on target and that was from about 25 yards.

 

[Tommo1993]

5 out 11 of Soton staring XI plus Adams and Stuart Armstrong contracts up this summer. Think Southampton are at this level to stay.

I feel for Leeds like I did for us before our P/O final vs Exeter, it’s in the bag.

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Think this Soton vs WBA match is heading to pens.

In fairness, 4 of them are only on loan. But even so, I wonder how much in wages they’re paying out on Harwood-Bellis, Downes, Brooks, Fraser and Rothwell. Must be looking at £200k+ p/w there.

 

[Otis]

They don't half faff about a lot don't they. All the way up to the penalty area and then back again.

Very irritating to watch.

 

[SBAndy]

Decent goal. Embarrassing goal music.

 

[ProfessorbyGrace]

Might as well just give Leeds the playoff trophy now, it’s obviously theirs.
