Someone said the club should buy the land that the BBC studios sits on. Knock that down and apparently there’s enough room for a spurs style mega stadium.. make Gallowgate/ Barrack Road into a tramway to get punters from the boozers to the ground & back double quick 👍

I assume they mean Hunters Moor behind the studios. You wouldn't fit Croft Park into the BBCs land

I’d be surprised if they are considering a move away from SJP. Otherwise why go to the bother to acquire the land behind the Gallowgate End?

Not sure of the economics but maybe expand the Gallowgate "cheaply" to give 60k over say 1-2 years while building a 75/80k complex elsewhere which might take 5 years or more. Extra 8k over 5 years  might be worth it before a move.

If it take 5 years to build a stadium they need better contractors.

I think allowing for the whole process, spurs took that long - maybe not 5 years but getting there.

To stop the bastards from murdering the view of the ground in the meantime?

Spurs stadium took 5 years tbf. They cleared the land in 2014 and built the stadium from 2015-2019

Well possibly I suppose. I don’t think that’s the most likely reason like  and if they’re planning on moving anyway it makes no sense at all

The logistics of that compared to a new site and building in the centre of London you're comparing apples and oranges.

No googling. 

 

Sean Dyche is in danger of becoming the 10th manager to be relegated from the Premier League with two or more teams.

 

Can you name the 9 absolute Champs who've already achieved this feat? 

 

Guess and I'll tell you as you get the right.

Richard Dinnis & Bill McGarry. Thanks Steve McClaren.

Bruce, Warnock, Megson to pick three absolute shitty arses out of a hat

[Gemmill 39328]

Bruce

Warnock

 

Both correct. 

[Alex 32842]

Paul Jewell? 

[Gemmill 39328]

It's a no for Jewell. One of these fucking heroes has managed to do it with THREE different clubs BTW. 

[PaddockLad 15779]

Dave Basset 

Neil Warnock 

Joe Royle

Chris Coleman

Alan Pardew 

Tony Pulis 

 

[Gemmill 39328]

Basset (he's the three time hero) 

Warnock

Royle

Bruce

 

Five to go. 

[Monkeys Fist 40543]

 Allardyce? 
Curbishly

Pulis

Bryan Robson?

Howard Wilkinson? 
 

 

 

[ewerk 28235]

Didn’t that German fella get relegated with Norwich twice in three seasons?

[Gemmill 39328]

No Germans. In fact there's only one non-English member of the list and I think he'll be hard to get. 

 

No to Wilkinson too. 

 

Do we want answers or are we still guessing?
