Spoiler alert Look away if you don’t want to read a spoiler of the book. Never knew that Sillett offered him a player-coach role at 39. So that would have been 1986/7?

I’m not sure if the quote isn’t more aimed at the Council rather than Joy. A bit of pressure to ensure that the club gets the stadium. Can’t see MR going against Joy - not seen so before even when situation worse.

Was Tommy signing books today? Surprised Robins didn’t shove a contract under his nose whilst he was signing away - would have been better than Jamie Allen (Satire aside, never got to see him play, before my time but I’m sure that even now he could move quicker than Godden, Waghorn, Allen,….)

He says this in the second half of the prematch interview on iFollow. After CWR have done their bit an Irish interviewer has 20 mins and Robins talks about the golden share and ground then.

Oddly, Wasps might be saying this verbatim in a few weeks time….

I think the whole set up was poor. Why play wingbacks and then essentially a back 3 when you’ve got no one to get on the end of a cross to head it. Blackpool have got aerial threat and it showed and hence it made sense for them to pump crosses in. We were better through the middle playing to...

To be fair to Kane he does find space well. Not saying he’s great but finding space going forward is a good attribute of his.

Wilson 5 Distribution very poor. Didn’t quite get back into position after the Doyle had messed up for the first one, just gawping at their winner. Poor all round. Kane 6 Got forward well and some ok crosses. Defensively not so good but not helped by Doyle. Doyle 4 At fault for the first...

FFS

The kids either side of Fadz look all over the shop. Sheaf not doing very well but one great pass late on. Palmer - great finish but forgets where he’s meant to be Cal good Allen meh Hamer good Wing backs ok

If I were a Blackpool fan I’d be gutted. 3 sitters. 1 post. 1 disallowed. Should be at least 3-1 to them.

Who said we need strikers. Idiot.

Palmer fouled in LWB position. FFS.

No one is allowed to criticise Sheaf. Stat mafia will get you. “His passing stats duh!” Yes. He passes rather than shoots.

Which one of them is starting today?

Mark, Can you sign some kind of back up to Vic in the next window please. Young with potential. Not necessarily over 7 foot tall, just over 5 foot 8 and-a-fag-end. Not Biamou either, Grendel wouldn’t allow it. No one over 31 - they get injured easily. Someone to sit in the u21s and come in...

It’ll be interesting seeing who is in the posh seats today. Keep ‘em peeled.

I think the insurance thing is an issue tbh. I can imagine an underwriter asking the question: “So, this arena. You paid £15-£20m for it, suggest that it requires £20m for repairs, That doesn’t sound very safe. And, you have borrowed £35m against it and want to insure it at the rebuild...

I’m strangely optimistic that things will turn out fine.

I guess if SISU get the Arena for less than originally they were trying to pay (who knows) then that might be a small consolation
