I don't see certain players of a certain, I suppose, ilk being very happy at playing in the championship. So I think they'll probably leave. I think it's probably best for both parties. But as long as the club recoup the money, I see that they're in a really strong position because they can probably afford to go out and buy well before these players leave the stadium anyway.
It'll be very interesting to me to see how the fans react to West Ham being at that stadium and in the Championship. I think that will be the difference between them and Wolves is if the fans decide, right, we're behind the team, we're behind the manager, we're going to push them over the line, then I can see West Ham winning the Championship at Kanter.
the more recent history of West Ham in terms of the fans don't really like the stadium. There's a real disconnect because of all of the stuff that's going on at board level. Do you not think that the manager could use this in a siege mentality to bring the fans alongside the players
and to then galvanise the whole thing. How many clubs are going to be adopting a siege mentality this season? We're going to go on and talk about Southampton. They'll be doing it. Lincoln are probably doing it. Yeah, but Southampton are a completely different kettle of fish. They're trying to adopt a siege mentality because of stuff that they've done to themselves.
Wolves are going to be a very good team, the same way Fulham were a very good team when Mitrovic absolutely dog-walked the league. I think he could potentially, whoever performs more consistently over the 46 games between him and Jared Bowen will drag their team over the winner's line. I expect both to go up one and two, in whichever order. I personally, I'm backing West Ham.
I think they have a bigger, more vociferous fan base. And if that fan base is on side, I think they are... You've played at Molyneux?
Yes. When they're giving it? Yes, yeah. It's a great ground. Sacco and his thunderbolt left foot. My God, he can kick the ball. Is that Bakari Sacco? Yeah, he could kick a ball really hard. Really hard. I was with him. I was with him. I've never seen a guy hit a ball so hard in my life. It's unbelievable, honestly. Really? Really, really hard. Unbelievable. And he was a powerhouse as well. The nicest man you've ever met. I must say that.
This will be an intriguing one watching Burnley. I'm really interested to see one, how they play football and one, you know, how they start the season. I think their biggest issue is going to be the, how long is Josh Cullen not going to be fit for? Josh Cullen being the captain of the football club now, he will be a massive miss in that dressing room until he's back fit. And you can't really afford not to have your captain when everything around the first team is completely changed. So that will be very interesting.
With the utmost respect to Burnley, I can see them becoming a Norwich, a West Brom of a few years ago, where they might struggle this year to get back up and then kind of just peter out into nothingness for a little while while they try and rearrange the deck. But...
And then you've got the fan base. I think it should have been clear the decks and start afresh. We're talking gross misconduct here, by the way. Yeah, exactly. We're not talking about, oh, I made a mistake. No, no, you did it three times. Yeah. That's been admitted that we know of. There's also no smoke without fire. And look at the things that have been levelled mainly on social media, yes, about his previous jobs. Yeah.
I don't like the choice of words because the choice of words makes it seem like they've been hard done by. He's representing the football club. He's not representing himself or just the players. He's representing the football club. So I don't like the terminology. I would be very intrigued to know his thoughts on what the manager has done.
in a private conversation obviously that will not happen that being said yes fine they have to do what they have to do but I just don't think what has been done and their punishment has been severe enough because we just don't do those kind of things in this country in our footballing pyramid
Kim Helberger said he's the best finisher he's ever seen after he scored the win against Wrexham on Friday night. They lacked goals last season, Lyle. He could be the answer. He could be the answer, but there will be a lot of pressure from a very big fan base who aren't scared to tell you how they feel. So it will be a case of how he deals with that now.
As a striker, you go through barren patches in a season, you go through four and five and six games. If he can still provide a platform for his team in those moments when he's not putting the ball in the back of the net, it will be massive for that football club. And I think they will be one of the teams going into this season saying, you know what, we feel hard done by with what happened at the back end of last year.
The last 20 minutes is just mayhem. Can they sustain that through a season though, both of you? I think it's interesting because I think that comes from off the pitch. I don't think that necessarily comes from anything the manager will be specifically telling the players to do. I think that comes from the whole story and the whole...
Circus is probably the wrong word, but the circus that follows it, that club is going to do something that has never been done and is supremely special just because everything else off the pitch is driving... It's like a movie. Yeah. It's like a movie. It's obscene. It's ridiculous. It shouldn't work. I think that's the point, isn't it? They've already done stuff that's never been done before. Three consecutive promotions. They missed out on the playoffs on the last day of the season, last season.
How do we get 24 as a calculation that, oh, you've been bad? It might have been 24. I've only got so many fingers and toes. I don't know what you want from me. Whip the calculator out with it. Why Birmingham City, Luke?
to get them to hit the ground running. And I think they've had that six-month period now, pre-season. Chris Davis will have massive pressure on his shoulders, but I think they've recruited well. Now, I think at Blues, it's very different because above that, sat on the board, I think you've got an attempt to gentrify a football club, which has never been what Blues have ever been about. You see, they're trying to open restaurants in the stand and closing boxes and doing this, that. And you just think...
what are you doing? This isn't America. This isn't how we do football here. Just put your money into the football club. Show the fans that you're willing to drive the off-the-pitch stuff forward and they will back you and love you as an owner. It's just whether they can separate the...
Yeah, no, he did. And he was fairly vocal about that, or his missus was fairly vocal about that on social media, which is fine. It just seems to be the way of the modern game and the modern world. But I found it interesting, the statement that they made upon his re-signing that this isn't for clicks, this isn't for likes, this is...
