Tav and Goldson are on two year deals.
It’s not going to be easy to sell them and it may involve someone above Clement sanctioning a pay off to make up their wage difference or something like that.
People keep saying if he continues with these guys next season he will be sacked, it will be his own fault etc, but he may not have a choice.
I doubt he will get the budget to get everything he wants next season either.
He’s going to need to be unanimously backed in the summer in order to turn this squad around. I’m not convinced it will happen.
Me neither, I really don't see where the money is going to come from to be honest. The squad is hardly bursting at the seams with sellable assets and we have already agreed to take Diomande for 4.5m.
Same shite every year and we can only hope the Koppen appointment turns us around. The amount of money wasted during previous transfer windows is shambolic to be honest.

A cany believe these cunts get paid to play fitba.

How confident are people on Teahupoo and Brighterdaysahead?
Never a big fan of hype horses like Brighterdaysahead. Elliotts stable form at the minute is also shite.
I'll be on Jade De Grugy.

There is arguments for and against both horses to be honest.
Embassy Gardens blew up last year at Cheltenham but has looked impressive this year, his jumping especially.
Corbetts Cross had his own problems at Cheltenham last year when he ran into the railings at the last hurdle. His jumping has been a bit suspect at times this year but has a really good chance if he jumps well. He is a bit quirky but the trainer is top class to be fair so I'd imagine he will have him spot on for this.
I picked Embassy Gardens as he tends to make ground at his fences rather than lost ground. Something Corbetts Cross has been at risk of in the past.
Some training performance in the last. Well done.

Are these issues just for NH or is it affecting flat racing too?
I don't follow flat racing but I believe there is similar issues but couldn't confirm 100%.

Why is that?
I don't follow British racing at all so have no idea.
Quite a few issues to be honest.
The schedule needs totally scrapped and redone imo. There is far to many meetings which is effecting prize money and sponsorship.
In Britain, trainers are also very reluctant to put their best horses against one another until the week of Cheltenham. This wasn't the case say 10-15 years ago. This is leading to big races having field sizes of 3 or 4. This is also putting people off attending race courses.
Affordability checks are also beginning to cause problems for punters and prospective new owners. I think this will only get worse in all honesty.

Champion Hurdle - No bet (may stick few quid ew on Nemean Lion if it continues to drift)
Mares Hurdle - Lantry Lady ew
Boodles - Ndaawi main bet, Latin verse ew
National Hunt Chase - Embassy Gardens

That's horrendous man, thoughts with all of his family.

Could tell early on he was struggling on the surface. Certainly looked like his hamstring he was holding when he went off.

That Chadwick stand is a fucking death trap btw, dangerously oversold.

Wednesday is huge for us. If we come away from Rugby Park with 3 points we'll be in great shape for the run in.
Apart from the Old Firm I'd fully expect us to take full points in the rest of the games before the split.
That would mean a worst case scenario of being a point behind with the post split fixtures still to play and obviously depending on how the Old firm goes the possibility of being at least 5 ahead.
Agree with this, Wednesday night is huge.

Off that week anyway for the festival so suits me fine.

Some ties are more difficult than others obviously but I'd honestly think we would beat any of them if we play well over two legs.

Couldn't believe how bad Hibs were the other week when we played them so any more dropped points for the tims would be a massive bonus.
