By the same metric Preston have two league titles but you wouldn't put them above us or West Brom It's all a cock waving exercise but id take our recent (last 30 years say) history over West Brom's Quote

Preston haven’t spent anywhere near enough seasons in the top flight for consideration. See also Huddersfield. It’s all contentious of course. My main point is Birmingham are the 4th biggest club in that region. Quote

Oh aye I'm not denying that Just don't see West Brom as bigger than us In my days of supporting us they've been consistent with us in terms of leagues we've been in but we had Europe (not counting the Anglo Italian) and faired a lot better the prem And as a mascot they have a bloke dressed as a combi boiler where as we have a real lion Quote

Whitesince63 Posted July 19, 2025 Posted July 19, 2025 Well the oldest I think is now Sheehan and he has captained Wales so maybe he has a shout in the short term but I don’t really see any of our current squad as captains material so I’m hoping that Schu brings someone suitable in shortly. Sad to see George leave if he does but at least it gives us some cash to invest in a quality striker or two. Quote
Deanu Posted July 19, 2025 Posted July 19, 2025 As good as Sheehan is technically can't be having him as captain, it's alright being captain against Faroe Islands in a nothing game for Wales second string XI but he's one of the quietest player in the squad & gets labelled as a midfielder who bottles out of 50/50's. Eoin Toal or Johnston seems likely even if they there's arguments to say neither deserve to be starting CB's based on fitness & form Quote

Tonge moor green jacket Posted July 19, 2025 Posted July 19, 2025 Brilliant! How many times are pre season games going to rob us of players. Quote
Tonge moor green jacket Posted July 19, 2025 Posted July 19, 2025 Not sure the Tomo money is going to get us a striker of the quality folk seem to be demanding. Unless an unknown non-league type or foreign player is available, that we can sneak in under the radar. Quote
