Terrific goal scoring powerhouse. Can remember him & Alan Gilzean playing together for Spurs. Always remember them featuring regularly on the Big Match on Sunday afternoons back in the day |

Reply | Former Swansea City boss reveals alarming '£100m black hole' he found at club
at 14:07 6 Jan 2026
Any relegated club or manager of a relegated club could argue that there is £100m black hole the season immediately after relegation. At the time that was around the value of the income to EPL teams from TV, league position prize money, etc. Relegated sides would receive around £100m over 3 seasons
Our owners were only interested in re-couping as much money as they could from their purchase. They sanctioned the sale of any players that would bring in a half decent transfer fee & reduce the wage bill.
That said, Potter made a decent job of it given the circumstances. I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if he felt duped about the state of resources available when he arrived. Still he has done pretty well out of it |

Disappointing given recent form and the pricing of the tickets £10 for adults & £1 for u14. Also noticed that we had the lowest crowd in the division for yesterday’s match v WBA (Blackburn attendance not published). The club deserves better support but the marketing & advertisement continues to be p poor. TV coverage definitely impacting our attendances |

Must be incredible to be a player listening to that after a win. Best anthem I’ve heard for many a year. Still want Hearts to win the SPL though [Post edited 29 Dec 2025 15:08]

This happened right front of where we were sitting and not one of our group saw this. In fact most of us were discussing how Ronald’s antics count against us.
McLean is a disgrace. I have spoken to fans of clubs that he has played for and it is pretty unanimous that none of them really wanted him representing their club [Post edited 20 Dec 2025 16:11]

Think you are spot on about Parkinson (let’s hope Wrexham keep him in charge)
On another night Galbraith could easily have had a second yellow but it would have been totally inconsistent in the way the game was refereed (the ref let many worse challenges go)
Feel you have been a bit harsh on Widell. Ollie Cooper is the epitome of a headless chicken. Widdell hasn’t lived up to expectations yet but hasn’t really had a run of starts either. He needs to start more games before we can see his potential imo |

I have watched the Scrum V that you mentioned. Sean Holley did open up a little bit, Jonathan Davies was a bit more reserved. I sensed that both were biting their lip a bit being very careful what they said. ‘Don’t bite the hand that feeds’ is an expression that comes to mind. Many ex players are still making a living out of their rugby connections and they don’t want to mess that up by being outspoken |

Of course Jamie Roberts will not speak against it, firstly he is from Cardiff, and isn’t he on the WRU board as some kind of non executive director ? I’d have thought someone like AWJ would have had something to say but he is apparently up the for the £160kpa Technical Director position. The silence from recent ex pro players & coaches from the Ospreys region is deafening.
As already stated the people in charge do not understand the game or history of rugby in Wales. This new lot at the WRU are addressing the whole issue from the top down trying to justify all their decisions on business actions. Whereas they should be serving the sport of rugby in Wales from the bottom up. Nothing like a solid foundation to work from, but they just don’t want to see it. They haven’t learnt from the loss of opportunity of regional rugby. They have already alienated & lost Pontypridd & the Rhondda, they have lost most of the Gwent valleys & now they will lose a huge mass of the country from Bridgend to Swansea. Clueless doesn’t begin to cover it [Post edited 16 Dec 2025 19:21]

The problem there is that if he is replaced by a wet lettuce Biden or Kamala Harris type then the cycle will be repeated. Pretty sure the whole of Europe will welcome a ‘lame duck President’ |

Good derby atmosphere at the Stadium of Light today. Worked with a lot of Geordies & Mackems over the years. It always seemed their dislike for each other was largely confined to matchdays. Can’t say I ever witnessed the perennial hatred that exists between Swans-Cardiff, Rangers-Celtic, West Ham-Millwall or Utd-Liverpool. Just my experience |

I think many would agree with you & maybe they will apply to join the English league. The problem looming is that the Ospreys owners have apparently bid to takeover Cardiff |

I found these statements interesting :
“Apollo investment raises questions again as to why the Welsh government needed to provide £18m of non-repayable grant …
State aid disclosures, which appear to have been written by an officer of Wrexham county borough council, claimed there was “no incentive for the private sector to pursue the project” of redeveloping the stadium, and that developing to international standard would be “commercially unviable”.
International football going to Wrexham ? |

They can’t for obvious reasons at least not any lucrative multi year deals. That’s why they have so many players that will be out contract at the end of the season including Lake & Morgan. They are both in a strong position to negotiate hard with any French or English club as they know that they will both be offered a WRU contract but will have to play where they are told |

No-one could blame them. They both seem quite injury prone & their careers could be over very quickly if they carry on accumulating regular injuries. I don’t see any incentive for them to stay with the ongoing shambles. They just need to work out the best financial deals for themselves & go for it. Loyalty & pats on the back won’t be paying their bills in ten years time |

Oil companies will bid for operation & pay for the privilege to operate. They will pay a percentage of the price per barrel of oil produced . Pipelines are not essential in this day and age. Even in the North Sea deep water operations use mobile drilling rigs & floating production & storage operations vessels (FPSO) to extract crude oil & gas |

Good to see so many positive comments. He has pedigree, came through Chelsea kids teams.
Unfortunately he got injured last season at a critical point when the first team squad had injuries or he may have had his chance. We ended up playing Naughton as a centre back for a few games. Let him stay there and play, now is not the time to bring him back |

I read somewhere that the ban for gouging was between 12 weeks and 12 months. It looks like they have gone for the minimum. Hardly a surprise. What I was more amazed at were the sympathetic comments by Biggar & Warburton in the aftermath … cowardly & shameful and that’s just the comments, the intent was clear for all to see |
