Bad optics is my real answer in the post you just quoted, and you don’t need to act all mystified when a politician moves preemptively to avoid them!

My guess is that appearing at non-league teams is a way of appealing to football fan voters without dabbling in the hyper-partisanship that comes with Premier League/EFL teams these days (and would probably trump any party political loyalty in the minds of a swing voter).

I thought the national service scheme was for 18 year-olds? What are you going to punish their parents for?

If both are available, what are you getting from Enzo that you wouldn’t get from McKenna? Wild appointment.

Thought that was genuinely impressive message discipline tbh

So if we get a >£15 million offer from a PL team early in the window, or after Vik/Gus have moved on, then we’re rejecting it no matter what?

The situation you’re describing usually has more to do with inheritance etc than benefits

Quite an entertaining game in the end. Wish we’d have been given the chance to play in it.

I think Man City will be quite content with the end result of their season, no matter today’s result

Doku has been fantastic since he came on, City look like a totally different prospect going forward
