So are we taking promotion to the premier League too lightly?

[LJBlade]

No we aren’t, but unfortunately we are having to wait until the two dicks running the show get their shit sorted before we can actually start building a squad.

No we aren’t.

 

[BigBed]

Didn't Leeds bottle it again?

 

[shorehamview]

Presumably Wilder and Knill have been consulting with this dickhead every day since promotion was confirmed. No? Thought not.

 

[BushBlade]

I was about to post about this guy rather than the article.

I've never heard of football fancast until we got promoted and this Charles Jones fella suddenly pops up writing poorly informed articles about us and the Championship. Seems to be another one of these Premier League blinkered journalists with no clue about us.

I love that he's written with certainty that the list of newsnow rumoured players is our "official targets list"...

He’s not a journalist. It’s a fancast. That’s just a posh word for message board. If he’s a journalist then so are we.

And it’s ‘media’ in the loosest sense of the word. It’s just an internet vehicle for fuckwits to post controversial shite to generate clicks.

If people give equal credence to the unsubstantiated shit they read on the internet and the established media then the world is in a bad place.

That may or may not be true, I'd guess not true.

Don’t we like that podcast now? It was universally regarded and praised as insightful and a must listen only a month ago?

For an analysis of football games, it’s very good. It doesn’t mean everything the bloke says is substantiated. I loved Peep Show but I’m not that bothered about what David Mitchell thinks of our survival hopes.

I’m having a tenner on us finishing in the top ten

No we dont. Wilder has his budget

 

[Bannerman]

Taking it lightly? We've written a song and everything!

What exactly does this chuff want us to do in order to satisfy him that we're intending to compete?

What have the other clubs who've been promoted done to date, and what have those Prem clubs that finished outside the top six done so far?
Wilder is a winner, he'll have it in hand, I think we can be fairly confident that he's ' had a word ' with the current owners about backing him if they expect the club to stay up next season As they don't know how the court case is going to end it's in both their interests to provide support as it stands.

 

[tincan]

Wilder & Knill know what type of player & who they want, within the same ethos of the last couple of seasons

We may not reach the top half this season, but we will shook a lot of pundits

UTB

Not bothered about cheque book pundits opinion, may as well listen to the bank manager then Shearer and co.
Bookies perpetuate the profile as they profit when the pundits get it wrong.

I will never ever ever get tired at looking at that superb photo,what golden memories it brings back,the hapless Pig in the background enhances it further

There are legitimate concerns about next season and I'm not surprised we are favourites to go down but this article is nonsense. Does he want Fleck to say "well to be honest I don't think any of our players will be good enough"?

Let's he honest, the way it's written insinuates that this is simply a very bitter football fan who is furious that a team nobody thought would go up did go up

 

[bromtom]

That website is total garbage and has the internet equivalent of STDs.

Absolute horror show.

Somehow I had to go to that site to vote for the PFA player awards the other day though, but it's no better than HITC and at least HITC doesn't hurt your eyes to look at or have 4000 adverts on screen at once.

A Dirty Leeds fan with Pig in-laws is my best guess for this bozo.

Just like last season then, which turned out reasonably well.

 

[Patrick Suffaux]

What a nothing piece of writing that is. Someone essentially complaining that we’re not approaching next season with total fear and caution. Is that what we’re supposed to do? If so, I don’t think I’ll bother with football.

No one at our club thinks it’s going to be easy. We’re enjoying the journey and to my mind if the worst happens and we go back down next season we will have had some great years with a good chance of bouncing back because of a much stronger financial position.

Clearly written by someone that who’s team we have turned over or simply doesn’t like us. Who cares?

 

[DeanLearner'sCat]

Macauley Bonne, Lee Gregory, Will Vaulks and Kieran Dowell are signings more suited to mid-table Championship teams rather than a newly promoted Premier League side.

Good job we haven't bid for any of them then, isn't it?

 

[PokerBlade]

Sometimes I think my tendency towards honesty has held me back in life. Writing shitty blog posts for whoever the fuck footballfancast are must be one of those areas.

It's just mindless quote-mining. Fleck also said:
"I'm sure there'll be games when it'll be really tough for us a group, but there'll be good days I'm sure. Whether we play the same way or change a little, that's for the manager to decide but we still have good players, and more will be added I'm sure."
"we're not playing against superheroes, although some do come close,"

So some opposition will be close to superheroes, we may have to adapt, and we will have to sign players.

Wtf did you expect him to say after just getting promoted? "Well, we aren't anywhere near good enough, we won't sign anyone, and we're destined to lose every fucking week"?

It's a player interview with a local rag. It's not a reflection on our "preparations" nor does it make them look like a "joke".

What Premier League preparations are there to even discuss at this point? Aside from announcing the released/transfer listed players there's nothing happening in the open because it's too fucking early while all the players are on their annual holiday.

If you think Wilder, Knill, and the players, don't know enough about football to know that Premier League survival will be tough then you're a mindless idiot.

There's a lot of optimism about the club right now because we keep beating the odds and we're doing it by playing bloody good football with some bloody good players. I'm sure there's not one person associated with the club that, if pressed, would say it'll be easy. We just think we've got a shot at it.

Yeah i have no idea of the guys credentials or the website, they just seem to have popped up recently. For all i know they could be global experts on the Premier League.... But the way he writes and looking at his social media makes me believe that he's some know nowt sat in his Spiderman Pyjamas in his mums shed knocking out shite football stories in-between wanks over episodes of Jeremy Kyle and 'Come bake with me Island'

i reckon we would give it a good run with the team we have right 'now'

 

[GreasyChipBeattie]

Nobody at the club seems to understand the severity of the task ahead of them...

I stopped reading the article after that.

 

[Bannerman]

We definately have the foundations of a very useful squad. In my opinion we need three or four additional quality players, in particularly in the striking department, I'd like Che back.
What we don't need to do is lose the run of ourselves and do a Fulham, spend £100 million, disrupt the entire squad and end up relegated, no doubt with players on daft contracts and the parachute payments seriously eaten into funding wages. Wilder wouldn't let that happen even if they let him have that amount, which they won't.
