Hell of a statement that. All the talk of bringing in new people in new roles. But the board? Yeah that’ll be me. I can do all that.

If the new manager comes from that list, it’s Bloomfield for me. Not excited at all at the prospect of FL but at least Alex Neil has dropped off the radar. Hoping Robins gets back into management as soon as he wants to and proves his point to DK. Not actually sure he’ll get that many offers at...

Not a particular fan of Lati but he had a very decent game yesterday. Put his body on the line, read the game well and defended well for the most part.

That as well

Sod’s Law says that the department where you have the least cover is where you will pick up injuries and suspensions.

Kitching’s form at the end of last season was so bad that we needed an alternative and he needed to know he had competition. The shirt was Binks’ to lose but I’m sure Kitch will come back in soon. His aggression, pace and positioning are all superior. I haven’t seen him do the big switch balls...

Don’t live near Cov so I go to more away games than home. When it’s not a sell out, can genuinely say I’ve never had a problem in a group of 4 or 5. Tbf, often cut it fine to get in (not a fan of pre-match) but always found space somewhere. If anyone asked me to move, I’d move but the question...

Sheaf is another one who didn’t exactly look great at first.

Kitching and Binks together could work but there’s very few examples of a successful pairing of two left footed CBs in a back 4. It’s different for right footed CBs because they often get placed at LCB in teams without a left footed CB. Some really excel at it (like Terry or Van Diijk as high...

Ah fuck it now. Squad is what it is…..

Looking at it now, his RC looks steep. Few clubs spend that sort of money. Even those that do have, to consider the PSR angle which now looks like it is starting to bring transfer values down. Next year, he’s even older and even less likely to be sold on again at break-even (let alone a...

They could have been posturing to flush out bids from any interested clubs by making it look like a deal was imminent.

He looks good in flashes and is capable of the spectacular. But I can’t think of a flair player who tries so much stuff that doesn’t come off. Seems like a decent guy. But not many would have him in a starting 11. I don’t think that’s going to work for him or the club. He needs to be a regular...

I tried that but felt I was lapsing into a Steve McLaren.

The ‘note’ was not a new thing. Just a joke that had been done before. This time it got weaponised, hence the regret of the bloke who chose to do it in 2010. I didn’t draw attention to the Cameron administration. It had already happened in the discussion and you’d even referenced it yourself in...

Cringey and sad if they’re stooping to those kind of statements.

You can’t seriously be using these arguments in favour of Cameron and Osborne? The note saying ‘sorry old chap, there’s no money’ is a well worn joke at the time of power transfer. As for the OBR, if you come to power and promise to cut everything to the bone, there’s a chance your shiny new...

Ireland’s low corp tax has continued to be tolerated in the EU due to fallout from the GFC. Ireland agreed to bail its banks out during the crisis using taxpayer money. The German banking system was massively exposed to Irish debt as it had been speculating and fueling ‘Celtic tiger’ boom that...

Would be quite embarrassing for the EPL if they did just fizzle away. Would be interesting to see what the legal bills are on both sides at the end, regardless of the outcome.

Binks is better on the ball but his positional sense is not as good and while I wouldn’t describe Kitching as quick, I think he has the edge on Binks for pace.
