So Watford sack a man who's team were 5th in the Championship!

Apparantly the performances and the underlying stats suggest they wouldn't hsve stayed there much longer. A good group of players who should be top 2.

Yes but it's Watford at the current rate of turnover everyone will be Watford manager for a day

Can't disagree with that.

I know the rent money helps, but have you seen the state of some of the pitches, due to Rugby teams using them

Swansea's pitch is like a ploughed field, and the pitch at Brentford's new stadium is getting there

Same complaints were made after both the NFL and Challenge cup final took place at Wembley ahead of either an England Game or a Spurs Game. Lucky old Albion don't share a ground with the Blackheath Rugby team if it is the Blackheath West Midlands area and not the London one. Edit they are London based which means lucky us don't have to share a pitch with anyone unless Wednesbury need a bigger ground for a final or something

[elmo_in_swansea]

Swansea have relaid their pitch with a hybrid version I think, following their last game with Barnsley last w/e

We can't be forced to share the stadium. It would be our choice to make extra revenue.

Which knowing us we would extra money for the owners.

We wouldnt. There is no money for us to make in sharing our ground for rugby purposes given their is no immediate rugby club near us.

Wednesbury only like 20 - 30 Minutes away I know they have a Rugby Club as they are down the road from me also they have allegedly the Worlds biggest Rugby Posts. Worcester to which has now been flooded I don't know about the Rugby Ground but I know Worcester has had flooding

Wednesbury 1st XV play in the Midlands 3 West North league according to their website. That is the 8th tier of English rugby.

That is the equivalent of two leagues below the Conference North if it were football. I think that's the level that Halesowen Town play at. It's just not comparable to creating a  working partnership.

Moseley rugby club used to be the best in Birmingham, and they play in the 3rd tier of the English system.

As Liam says, it's not something we need to worry about

The Hawthorns would never be ground shared for the sake of 30 rugby fans and a few whammels.

[BaggieBoy04]

Fair Enough lucky old us I was just saying We are lucky we don't share but we could if Wednesbury needed the ground for A final or something but now I think about it Bescot is probably closer

I always spelt it wammels with an "e" as well Clive and found this reference:

"A wammel is a mongrel or mangy dog, and sometimes a word for any animal. Apparently it comes from am Old English word hwaemelec."

Sheff Wednesday have sacked Pulis after 45 days.

Sheff Wednesday have sacked Pulis after 45 days.

I'm imagining it felt more like a year and a half as opposed to a month and a half for the supporters. They want to think themselves lucky to have been unable to attend games in person. Every cloud has a silver lining and all that.

[gazberg]

Nice juicy pay off for him yet again though. He won't mind.

[SmethDan]

I'd imagine any pay off will be deferred given they've not been able to pay the players. Would it be better for tax purposes to defer to the next financial year given he'll have paid tax on his earnings whilst with Sky?

[gazberg]

Thats a good call. Im sure good old Tony will be straight onto the blower to his financial advisor! No doubt about it
