I know nothing about high finance but it strikes me DK's investment in the ground gets a return when he sells the business whenever. It's immediate impact on the player budget (the one that really matters to us) may be pretty small or even zero. It might however make us more attractive to an...

Still in a state of shock. Stunning. I have never seen 7 goals. There were lots of individual moments regardless of the goals - wright absolutely monstered Dunne at one point right in front of me. Superb athleticism.

I pointed out elsewhere that he was in a lot of 121 communication with Frank particularly in the first half. Lots of hand signals which I could not make head nor tail of. Looked like quite an intense working relationship being conducted under the public gaze. I thought he was looking good last...

...but debt and interest? No matter how good it is for the club, it is not a freebie. The stadium loses money even with the hotel and casino DK was banging on about. He is going to have to have show collosal commercial nous to increase the non-football income from its present levels. In its...

Just seen the highlights. I thought EMC against Derby would be a contender for goal of the season, but Torp's second yesterday was just the best strike of a ball you could ever wish to see. Although as I type this the thought does occur that in a higher league he would never have had that...

EMC causes defences such trouble

10's for everybody (it would be churlish to give them less), but special mention for two who outperformed their usual level. BTA had a really good game and possibly provides more space for MVE than Tats does. Secondly, Rudoni was all over it from the first minute, much better than in the first...

Now are those with huge lists of needs for transfers finally going to shut up. We need another centre half and a back up right back after we've sold MVE. End of.

What slightly intrigues me is football in a generation's' time. If Mrs Thomas-Asante has it off with Mr Ephron-Clarke will there be a future winger called Mason-Clarke-Thomas-Asante. More syllables than a Sri Lankan cricketer

If Woolfenden is trying to get away because he will be on the bench at Ipswich, will we be that attractive when he is likely, at the start at least, sitting on our bench...The Venn diagram of 'good players' and 'prepared to be squad' doesn't have much overlap

But we are not going for it are we? We are giving it our best shot within strict commercial constraints. Wrexham are going for it. We are bidding to win at a lottery where only four tickets have been sold

MAB for JDS, otherwise as you were, I'd even keep BTA. Enough initials...

Yet more confirmation of it were needed what a good bloke ben Wilson is. And why he is good to have around.

This is like a house purchase chain. We can look at houses but can't progress until we sold our own, and then no matter how hard you try thereafter it usually takes 3 months to complete (I've done a few). Ever since it was obvious he had potential to go higher, Rudoni was a 'flight risk' . But...

Rudoni was one of my favourite players of all time....until that haircut. Late stage Kevin Keegan perm with additional mullet. Is there anything worse? Give him a free.....

This is hair splitting, you are looking to spend money on players a fraction better than our current squad players but not good enough to get past the current first choices. A waste of time, effort and money assuming you can find the players you want. BTA was bought as a squad player - so there...

I know nothing about the detail, but I assume somewhere in the mix the landlord (Ashley) has assessed the ability of his anchor tenant (City) to pay, bearing in mind City are guaranteed income - whereas most other events at the stadium are one-offs. Ashley's assessment was probably on the basis...

New manager bounce peters out?

Not that far wrong....I know except for the Simms but, but we all have fantasies

For those saying 'strong bench', as Lampard does not substitute until the 70th minute these 10 outfield players account for over 95% of total playing time (10 players x 90 minutes)
