    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    It does to an extent. The markets want to see control over spending ie government is likely to be able to repay the debt and they will be getting back a good return Obviously we always will always repay as we can just print more, however, that can cause inflation/debase the currency which...

    Transfer Rumour January transfer window

    Not sure the extension is about being potless then, more likely about him impressing Lampard since he’s been here. Robins didn’t want him. Lampard does 🤷‍♂️. The fact that we’re lacking in experienced players round the group is probably a major factor

    Transfer Rumour January transfer window

    Exactly. We can complain that there’s gaps in the team/squad but nobody can say the cash has been frittered away until we see how players do over their contracts here (not just first 20 games) and what we end up getting for them

    Transfer Rumour January transfer window

    This is why I don’t get people having a go at king. Yeah, he’s made mistakes but he’s spent big money on transfers (mostly generated from sales) and is covering the losses. Fans were never building in the additional wages when they wanted a bigger squad/king to spend all the Vik and Hamer...

    Viktor Moving on

    this is incorrect. sporting settled early as they’d already paid some of the add ons and knew that if they paid the remainder it would reduce the sell on percentage from 15% to 10%. Just common sense from their perspective due to likely sale value

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Giving kids from families that can’t afford it a healthy nutritious breakfast, is great and a good use of cash Giving all kids whether they need it or not, a substandard breakfast, not so good I’ve seen what hospitals give patients recovering from illness and medical procedures to eat, so...

    Not sure I understand Wingy ? Think China has been selling some U.S. bonds recently Hopefully if their yields (borrowing rates) come down a bit so will ours as we fish in the same pond for international investors/buyers of bonds

    U.S. CPI* also slightly better than expected. Good news again. Might help bond yields further as ours seem to have followed US of late. Might also help to weaken dollar a little which could give pound/other currencies a bump *edit - core was better

    Transfer Rumour BTA to Blackburn

    It’s been tricky for the strikers this season. Robins was like a dog with two dicks earlier in the season, strikers rotated/subbed to give others a run out. I don’t think any have really got into a rythym/run of form. I still believe that if the Bassette deal was available earlier we may not...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Bond/gilt yields have recently gone through the roof (due to global affects not just U.K. economy/government policy), the additional government borrowing costs have removed all of Reeves headroom, markets are still unconvinced of medium term growth prospects so without taking action (increased...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Finally some better economic news for Reeves. Needed as things were unravelling Let’s hope it’s not because the wheels have already come off and an economic downturn is feeding through into inflation figures (probably not, bit too soon)

    He’s been named on here but cant remember who it was.

    Transfer Rumour January transfer window

    Hard to disagree with this although I like BTA, great work ethic and comes across well. Always had the feeling that if we’d known the bassette deal was available at the time we maybe wouldnt have signed BTA

    Transfer Rumour January transfer window

    didn’t king sanction a loan in the summer which fell through due to pre deadline injury ? I’d be shocked if he went against lampards wishes unless the loan fee/costs just don’t make sense

    Liam Kitching

    Robins has nurtured a lot of players over the years but I get the impression that he and the coaching staff totally mismanaged Kitching. Only time will tell but good to see him being given a chance

    Agree that companies will tag AI onto anything in the hope it makes it a more attractive product/service, however, it should be a major productivity driver for adopters. I’m no techy but im pretty sure that over the next 5-10 years the changes in the world brought about by AI will be dramatic

    Transfer Rumour January transfer window

    Agreed. We showed plenty of grit and passion against Norwich as well, it’s just the injury time overshadowed it

    4 new signings......

    Some of his touches were top quality yesterday. Worked hard but we need to get him in the game more. Plenty more to come from him

    Match Thread Coventry City - Sheffield Wednesday [FA] Match Thread - Saturday 11th Jan

    Exactly. Any professional would want to play at a higher level so not sure why people try to make it out as a bad thing. Has he downed tools ? no. Did he work his arse off for 120 mins ? yes. As long as that continues then I’m happy enough
