I don’t really see how this relates to ‘winning back’ the ‘Red Wall’. Corbyn’s perceived inability to address the issue of antisemitism damaged his credibility beyond Jewish voters. A ComRes poll showed that 55% of those polled felt that it showed his inability to address antisemitism showed he...

Power is a game, and it was a very good power move. Sends a strong message on Labour dealing with anti-semifinals, and ‘disgraces’ a potential contender to his role down the line. As a few people have alluded, appearances matter in politics. Something Corbyn never quite grasped (best case) or...

I was in France during the Euros, and that song is still perhaps my fondest football song that is non-CCFC related. Also have great affinity for Mo Salah ‘Egyptian King’...

Did this happen on your football manager save, too?

£4m on Will Grigg too... *winces*

That would be the most convoluted way of getting a Primark handbag to date...

I agree with you, some of those decisions were shambolic and that it wasn’t necessary inevitable we going to relegated. After all, we were relegated 4 years after they took over. I’m not going to indulge in an alternate timeline, but my point remains clear: before SISU, it was a shit show and...

I'm not going to go into semantics, but you've missed the point. If you believe we would've been 10 points better off that year without Coleman (and signings like Dann and Fox), with a transfer embargo too. Power to you. Without the takeover in the 2007/08 season, the likelihood is that we...

According to Barry Fry (P'boro Director of Football), they rejected a bid of £500k from Pompey for Godden. So £400k + add-ons doesn't seem plausible at all. Don't get me wrong, it wouldn't surprise me if we structured the £750k in multiple instalments.

Chaplin - £500k Gooden - £750k

Biggest priority is a return to the RICOH. That will boost the resources we can operate with in the transfer market. I think we will sign about 10-12 players. Not all of which being for the 1st team. Key priorities for this transfer market: - 1 CB - 1 LWB - 1 CM - 1 CAM - 1 ST 5 players we...

You talk as if the club wasn’t going downhill before SISU arrived. Bear this in mind: the season SISU took over, we survived on GD alone. Had they not took over, we would have went into admin, leading to a points deduction and invariably, relegation to L1. There’s a reason investors (Alki David...

Would love for us to sign him for a good fee one day, and get 10-20% of the transfer back as the sell-on fee they owe us...

While we're at it, let's sign Carl Baker!

Hope we don't sign him, thought he was rubbish when we played Sunderland...

The issue for O'Hare is first team football. There's a reason he's supposedly rejected numerous contracts from Villa, who look almost certain to be relegated this season. I doubt Villa are low-balling him either.

That would essentially be an elongated return to Step 1. The club wasn't viable before SISU came along (a billionaire walked away from investing) and the club needs to have a secure, commercially viable setup if we are to be able to compete in the Championship. We need either a stake in the...

I'm optimistic and I believe O'Hare may choose stay with us. It is a transfer that makes sense for both him and the club. Admittedly, I said the same about Bright last season, and about G.Thomas the year we got relegated. However, we can offer O'Hare a natural progression in a system and...

I doubt the recruitment policy will change from targeting young players who will develop. If I were Robins, I’d get rid of everyone who I can’t see being a consistent performer in the Championship. If the Hamer transfer goes ahead, and at the reported fee, it is a statement of intent. That...

Or... Robins had a settled club, getting results week in, week out and there wasn't really an opening for Giles.
