    The Ricoh

    I think Wasps would actually be Ok with part ownership with us (the football club). Just not with these particular owners. I honestly believe with different owners there would be a relaxing of attitudes and something could be done, not just in terms of rent but partial ownership.

    Just some thoughts on stadium selling issues. I believe I'm right in saying that FFP rules are based on revenue rather than assets. So shouldn't any sale of things like a stadium not be included, instead being classified as a capital gain? If it were classed as revenue technically couldn't an...

    Yep. Tried to be clever/greedy and saying if we can stay open we can get a march on everyone else and see the economic benefit (their main desire). Instead we dithered and will likely end up seeing the biggest shock from it by having to delay our re-opening of it. Wouldn't surprise me if a fair...

    Rearranging deckchairs on the Titanic IMO. The lost a lot of sane ones after the election as they just bussed in a load of Boris fanboys and girls just willing to say yes to whatever he proposed on Brexit.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    I've not quite understood yet why no-one has asked Johnson or another Tory why they've released a statement about maintaining standards in trade deals but when a vote in the Commons was made on putting forward legislation enshrining it in law they rejected it?

    Walshy wants cov

    Quite probably. But with the lack of income from BCD deflating the market he *may* be affordable *if* BC looked like losing him on a free. I'd expect other takers to be interested and to probably be able to outbid us. But at the moment I'm feeling post-promotion optimism.

    Congratulations on your promotion

    TBH I've never forgiven us for giving them the chance to. Game should've been well and truly won long before they equalised but the team just seemed to be playing in 2nd gear and couldn't be bothered to up it. Only people to get angry at for that is us.

    I've no problem with them changing their minds. The backtrack on school opening is welcome as I feared they'd just plough ahead regardless. But it should be being done because the science and evidence had changed. At the moment stuff is touted as opening up due to ideology and then change their...

    The Players who will be forgotten

    Not sure why but just got images of Paul Whitehouse and Harry Enfield's Dutch coppers. "I'm captain Stefan van der Haasgraaft of the Amsterdam police, with my partner, and also happy to say my lover, Ronald."

    Next season

    I'm getting that feeling of Southampton a few years back when they dropped down the divisions, brought through a number of youngsters like Walcott, AOC and Lallana along with some astute signings and were on the crest of a wave and just kept on getting better.

    Where will we finish?

    It is quite a bigger jump than L2 to L1 and the costs will go up quite a bit for wages so we'll be among the lowest budgets. Lot depends on recruitment etc over the summer. BUT with the virus and number of players may become available for cheaper than expected this year as teams have to trim...

    Walshy wants cov

    Maybe. Up to xmas and put in a bid for him maybe. At that point BC would be risking losing him for nothing/compensation at the end of the year if he hasn't signed another contract.

    Neither am I. Don't get many moments like this in a career so enjoy it. It's just a marked difference from the behaviour of Hickman.

    Retained List

    Westbrooke has a year option so club may well invoke that and see how he gets on. So does Baka but think he may well leave now after promotion with Max still having time left on his and likely to only warm the bench. Not sure if Hiwula does as well but again not going to be extended. Other ones...

    Were you so excited you ripped it off 'celebrating'? Would explain the state of shock.

    I'm sure some would claim his criticism/failure to play Hiwula/Baka/Kasta would say it would be ;)

    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    Be surprised if Posh changed their minds given that they've dropped out of the play-oofs. Far more likely to have been one of the others that retained their play-off place IMO
