There’s a strong argument to exempt developing countries from such a restriction. Insert your own gag here about England being a developing country…

Ivory Coast sacked their manager in the middle of the last AFCON. They went on to win it. 🤨 https://amp.theguardian.com/football/2024/feb/07/football-managers-sacked-mid-tournament-and-hammered-hosts-knowledge

I really hoped we’d got rid of that awful sponsor…

I’d rather discuss M&S clothing than England at the moment…😉

I believe they have but until I physically see it…

Available in M&S 😉

The best hope for seeing Wharton in this tournament is a big England win tonight then Southgate will be able to experiment/rest players for the 3rd game. Still think Rice/Wharton is the best DM combination in our 4231 formation.

England going out at Scotland’s expense due to rain is irony I can get behind TBH 😆

First dull game of the tournament? “England…come on down…” 😆

I suspect you aren’t alone but be careful what you wish for 😉

This CV doesn’t scream “capable of leading a £20m+ business” - I hope his academic studies were thorough.

Ambassadorial role…in other words, purely PR.

We are the Lancastrian Rotherham United.

A coping strategy for the next month…😉 https://www.brfcs.com/magazine/articles/a-coping-strategy-for-the-euros/548

There’s the rub…

Raya’s value in Brentford’s books depreciates each year in line with the terms of his contract. If they send him to Arsenal for a year, he’s worth less in their books when he returns. Consequently, the loan fee is to offset this accounting (not footballing) valuation.

It’s a great conspiracy…except for the fact that it was Arsenal that wanted the deal structured as a loan with option to buy to help their FFP issues. As Raya’s value would depreciate over his year at Arsenal, if anything, £3m is a poor deal from Brentford’s perspective.

Lovely words…sincere condolences 💙

It sorts out some problems but only at the cost of creating a suite of new ones. The *best* outcome is a peaceful transfer of ownership with a new owner who shares the fans passions, has deep pockets & a high level of competence/integrity. …so that’s pretty straightforward 👀 😉
