This has never been true. It wasn’t true of shy Tories either. Anecdotally I’ve never known a reform voter not make it very clear. Second only to vegans in that respect. They have a full cross section of society. That’s literally how polling works. You recruit a representative sample of the...

We tried selling the family silver to pay the bills like good conservatives but no one wanted it.

The Facbookification of CWR continues.

We’d all like a Hamer regen, which is partly why a Torp upgrade is my wildcard. I still think the right CM transforms this (or most) teams. Don’t come along every day tho.

Depends how you see the non Grimes and Rudi role I guess. If you, like me, see Sheaf and Eccles more as Grimes type defensive mids and Torp as someone more creative and a goal threat as an 8 in don’t think we’ve got any backup for him and he’s the only backup for Rudi. Otherwise you’re changing...

Like I’d get it if tickets sold out, but why shut people out of a ST when there’s clearly room and there’s spaces? And if you don’t want to sell STs and they haven’t sold out why overprice day tickets? Clearly the demand isn’t there and they’re picking up casuals and new fans.

Id like to see another forward minded CM who can challenge Torp and step into the Rudoni role if needed. But not as much as the others.

Get the feeling match day tickets just exist to make you want to get a season ticket for value. But you can’t buy a season ticket. Weird.

If it was one poll you might have a point (you wouldn’t you’d still be massively wrong about polling and how it works), but almost every poll on these sorts of topics has Reform voters as an outlier to the other parties, including other right wing parties. I think that’s notable but didn’t mean...

Id really worry about us until Jan but I think id take either and upgrade on Sakamoto/EMC or a CB. Wildcard: upgrade on Torp.

I mean if everyone is fit then in serious contention for the starting lineup. Most of those mentioned don’t even get in the squad if everyone is fit.

I don’t know who is out there and I don’t think we’d massively overpay. I think a first team championship player costs at least that if they’re going to improve us.

OK for a change those of us like me with soggy sheets, let’s say we make one signing. How much/who would be enough to make you happy? Anything over £5m for me.

Neither KKH nor Brau have started a first team game so far. They’re not first team signings they’re potential or backup. Come on let’s not play pretend. We signed Rushworth in a loan (good IMO I wouldn’t have dropped that on a keeper until we’ve seen how Dovin comes back), we’ve spent 3.5m on a...

Yeah but we’re not getting anyone so again are the targets too much? Do we not have enough to offer? Have we no backups? Because it seems we’ve had money from day one and not managed to get any first team outfield signings over the line or any first team permanent signings.

You’ve got to assume we need the wage bill down or we’d have spent the money we’ve been bidding. It’s got to be squad places or wages as the bottleneck. Which is why you’ve got to be harsher about the dead wood. Eccles is fine as a squad player, but if it’s him or a new first team player then...

Back on topic latest immigration numbers are out. https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/immigration-system-statistics-year-ending-june-2025/summary-of-latest-statistics Thought this was a nice diagram, not seen it like this before. Student dependent visa down 81%, students down 4% Family...

Wilson, Bidwell and Allen haven’t they’ve played with the kids in essentially a reserve match. And Eccles isn’t getting in ahead of Sheaf and Torp lol. We need better than them. In Bidwells case we don’t need him at all really. Squad management isn’t just freezing the squad is aspic, you’ve...

I think you’ve got to ask questions about the spend on KKH if MvE going wasn’t cast iron, and if it meant no other improvements outfield. You can justify each thing on its own but Doug and Deans job is to see the overall picture and I’m not sure its worked out this summer.

Oh here he is. Keep your salt to the politics side yeah?
