    [Albion] Are the club thin skinned and unable to take criticism?

    I own a nearly 18 year old. It's my duty to listen to him. I'm also part funding his travels, whereas, when I was that age I went home and away funded by part time work at the CoOp. Another thing that's changed for the worst (though here we can blame the whole Premier League, privatised rail...

    [Albion] Are the club thin skinned and unable to take criticism?

    You'd mostly have to ask them. I've already stated an example just above though - kicking out opposition fans in our end, home and away, would at least be consistent with the five game bans handed out for ticket infringements or disputed ejections. Another is lack of representation on the FAB /...

    [Other Sport] Why do tourists love pigeons?

    Flying rats. Vermin. And stupider than a Reform voter. But enough about Palace fans on Ryanair.......

    Well they are speaking up, but not necessarily on NSC. This is old fart central, in case you hadn't noticed. Read Dogma. Read 'X' (i.e. Twitter) or Insta. Talk to fans in pubs before games. I'll give you a specific example though. Fans of 'that type' banned on the say so of stewards versus...

    [Albion] Are the club thin skinned and unable to take criticism?

    With the greatest of respect, you are a rational, well paid man in late middle age who has seen the very worst of times this club has been through and goes to, what, one or two aways a season? If you were worried about how the club was being run I'd be very worried indeed. You are EXACTLY the...

    You're still not prepared to answer why the club would be against it either.

    [Albion] 7 Years Of Albion in the Premier League- Ceilings & Feelings

    Mine's backed up with facts. Avg attendance last time round 3-4k down on this season with visiting teams including Burton, Barnsley, Rotherham, Wigan and Reading.

    [Albion] Are the club thin skinned and unable to take criticism?

    The IFR proposal is that it would deal with exactly that. Its triple remit would be: 1) Club financial soundness 2) Systematic financial resilience 3) Heritage...

    [Albion] 7 Years Of Albion in the Premier League- Ceilings & Feelings

    While not the OP, I see he's responded without mentioning parachute payments. They are currently factored in I would think and explains why the club is against any regulation or law change that would see them removed (despite complaining about them when we were in the Championship IIRC)...

    Agree with most of this. It's the next appointment that worries me. Marsch was just an awful choice for Leeds in hindsight, yet he was a bright young coach with a pressing style that should have suited players who'd been got fit by Bielsa. The process should deliver an equivalent or upgrade...

    [Albion] RDZ to un-named club for €5m?

    Circumstances completely different on Friday night to Saturday night. As I type this I'm happy in my current job. If I get made redundant at lunchtime you bet I'm whoring my hairy backside all over LinkedIn this afternoon.

    So your answer to clubs like Reading and Everton at the moment or Bury and Macclesfield in the past is 'carry on with the wild west, because regulators in completely different industries are hamstrung'?

    [Albion] Brighton v Ipswich: which club is bigger?

    There are some things money can't buy. NSC Polls aren't one of them. The (Bozza's Platinum) Amex.

    [Albion] Are the club thin skinned and unable to take criticism?

    It's a website / Twitter account run by more than one person. I believe the tweet insinuated City's win was paid for in blood money or similar, though I suspect it's long been taken down.

    [Albion] Are the club thin skinned and unable to take criticism?

    Come on. We've stated that there is no need for a FAB or a regulator and banned people for social media posts. They have also rejected rulings by the ombudsman re bans. Does it matter? Yes it does. Media control and banning were the tools of Bellotti. Ok, so he was a 'baddy' and Tony is a...
