Who's his agent? Mo Farah? Surely he could have asked for at least a bit of cash as well.

He should just claim it was for PPE and jobs a good'un. Right?

Probably right. Burroughs, Rus and Dabo have +1's. Maybe Rose so MR has the security of knowing he has at least 2 CB's signed up for next year.

All I can think of are those reporters outside stadiums on transfer deadline day getting harassed by supporters.

But he's contracted to us, so that's irrelevant. And as we don't know what he's on we can't say that someone else would be willing to offer him more. If the goals dry up, by this time next year he could be surplus to requirements and then the extra year and wages looks like a bad decision...

But who are those making the operational decisions making them for? Who are they going to be listening to for advice? I think it's highly likely they're puppets and are going to be doing whatever MA tells them to do, even if technically MA is not directly involved in them.

Maybe. But it's still money we don't need to spend when playing with a tight budget. If he was coming out of contract I think 'ok', but he's not. It wasn't necessary at this stage. He's not someone I look at and think they're a vital cog in potentially achieving promotion. At this level he...

Could be that the train is running, but terminating before Euston? So trying to get a ticket for, say, Cov-Euston it won't let you.

Not sure I see the point if he wasn't out of contract at the end of the season. Not like we're going to be turning down massive bids for him and this will safeguard potential transfer fees. Especially as it says new deal, not an extension, so we'll now likely be paying him more next year that...

If Vic goes I can see us offering Hamer a bumper new deal. I think O'Hare will sign a new deal as at the moment he's got the uncertainty of the injury and I think his suitors will be waiting to see how he recovers from that.

Blimey, Joy's let herself go hasn't she!

That made me chuckle more than it should. At least you could rely on Pat to deliver.

It does seem like an incredibly high number, but there are ways that it could show that. Ex-PL could be a lot of things. Lads that came through an academy or spent one season there on more of a Champ wage. Then, as has been highlighted, the drop in earnings can be massive. They can go to...

Ironically, she's probably not getting half the shit she should do because people are afraid of being accused of being racist. She's an absolute disgrace.

Wilson McNally Fadz Doyle Burroughs Sheaf Eccles Bidwell Hamer Allen* Gyok Moore, Panzo/Rose, JWE, BNC, Howley/Maguire*, Godden, Walker Never confident going to play Swansea - we always seem to play into their hands. 2-1 Swansea.

It was more that we've got a lot of 16/17 year old playing under 21's, so a fair bit above the level they'd probably be expected to be at that stage. Can't assume that progress will continue but does give a chance that in a couple of years we might have a few academy prospects ready.

Trying to be optimistic we've got quite a few first year scholars playing regularly for the U21's already. It's a bit early to get too excited but that does bode well.

It's also very sneaky, because that's exactly what they're trying to do. Create this idea that it's the fault of the teachers/carers etc. because they don't act on seeing signs of abuse. Not their fault for taking away all the funding for things that actually help reduce abuse and break the...

Yeah. Was watching MotD and was wondering how you can spend so much money on attackers and be almost completely toothless. They look like a bang average side and I can't imagine any team in that league goes into a game massively worried about their attacking threat.

The big thing is of course contract expiring in 12 months. I think the club would prefer to only sell one at most, but if they aren't signed up to new contracts by the time pre-season starts, and August at the latest, we can't afford to let assets worth that much leave for free and suitors will...
