But the temporary manager was a requirement of changing the permanent one so has to be priced into the decision. Ultimately what will matter is where we are end of next season. But King said that he took the decision how and when he did because of immediate results so it’s fair to question that.

Well I’m not sure if the locals wanted them removing and replacing with 30% more trees they would. Funding comes in pots for this sort of stuff. You can’t just choose to spend it on social care. You’re just flailing around trying to find something to stop things ever being built.

I think above a Swansea. And I think the celeb manager puts us top of that pile. I’m not sure if Leeds are still a parachute club but forgot about them so them too if not. To be clear this is in terms of whether other teams will try a bit harder against us. Not some “big club o meter”

Doesnt mean much. What changes would you have expected to filter through to growth by now?

I think we are. Outside of the parachute clubs it’s maybe Sunderland and then who? In terms of crowd, expectation and general media attention. I think people want to beat Plymouth a bit more because of Rooney too. Just something about getting one over on a name.

Against Collins or another keeper? :p

Because he’s better than them. Or at least given a chance ten yards from goal I’d rather it fell to Simms than Bassette or BTA and that’s the ultimate test of a striker IMO.

They were all scouted by him, also it’s most of the squad that isn’t out of contract at the end of the year. I’m trying to be fair here. I think Kitching and EMC are dragging down the negative column and we’re relying on MvE or Simms turning it around for an overall profit should we magically...

I’d say Dovin - Too early to tell. Looks like he has potential but maybe not number 1 yet. Probably over paid. Collins - Awful. Was cheap and still over paid. MvE - Difficult second season, got the potential to be worth more than we paid. Thomas - £2m for a young CB is OK. Binks - <£2m for...

Just hope we get at them early and get the crowd up. A good home win will help the mood around the club so much, just Milwall away since Robins left so no real cathartic home event yet.

Is it me or does Lampard sound a bit like the squad isn’t as good as he expected there? Talks well again, and again worth noting he’ll only have had two free midweeks when the new year comes round. Talk of “training in games” is interesting.

In a thread where home schooling was primarily used to hide the abuse. Yeah I am. Your kid has a right to an education. Most people cannot provide this. They have a right to a social life and generally a life away from you to grow up. I seem to remember you’ve got family who home school. I...

Child abuse isn’t a choice I respect. Sorry. Most home schoolers are the exact religious people you’re talking about. It’s literally what this thread is about. If they’re not weirdly religious they’ve got other weird beliefs that their kid would be better off being moderated away from by...

Yeah it is. Religious weirdos or weirdos with strange views about what kids should be taught. There are very few, if any, kids that shouldn’t be in some form of schooling. If you’ve come to the conclusion on your own that yours is one of them you are probably wrong.

Ooohh hope they’ve got some tech jobs going. I might even go into the office if it’s five mins away and has a gym.

What was said was that other teams might be playing better against us because of our bigger profile, no?

What’s that compared to others? Genuine Q. Curious how much of an outlier we are in terms of conceding first/conceding early.

If I were given a blank slate and said I could have any of our players for free when building a new squad, I’d take Wright, MvE, Sheaf, Saka, and Bassette and Rudoni as prospects. Now considering we are likely to lose Sheaf, MvE and Wright in the summer, we’re basically starting again in terms...

Can those with Starmer Derangement Syndrome keep it in off topic please?
