I counted (hopefully correctly!) seven.

Dire Straits - Brothers In Arms

You’ve more confidence in them than I have then!

I don’t think we can complain if we end up receiving circa £35 million for him. We certainly can complain about how little (if any) will be reinvested in the squad.

David Soul - Silver Lady

+ notice pay (for Lesley the statutory minimum for this would be 12 weeks). I imagine she’d rather be keeping her job though.

For next season only - some proper long term thinking going on there.

The Miracles - Who’s Lovin’ You

No

The Beatles - Back In The USSR

The academy’s aim should be to produce first team players. This doesn’t (or shouldn’t ) equate to the first team having a target to use academy players.

Ritchie Valens - Come On Let’s Go

Curiosity Killed The Cat - Hang On In There Baby

You’re very cynical - and almost certainly correct 😁

Players who go abroad when their contracts expire need permission (from the EFL board) to move back within the first twelve months. Such permission being granted can then lead to their former club being due compensation.

I think it means no compo but could be wrong.

We’re far more likely to sell a first team striker and buy a 17 year old with no experience to replace him.

Sorry! 😬

They want it to seem like they’re doing something whilst they’re actually doing nothing.

Who else thinks ‘on leave’ is a euphemism for tied up in Balaji’s basement?

At last, a replacement for Ryan Giles.

Still no update. Maybe that’s good news* as there’s more to type up than ‘it’s too late/no one turned up, we’ll try another time’. Or maybe I’m just clutching at straws. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ * good news may well not be the right term to use!!

No updates yet. I’m now on my hols but will try and check again in the morning. No one hold their breaths though (either in relation to the court’s reliability or mine 😁😁)

can vs will.

I’ve no idea what, if anything, happened at the hearing but the judge definitely turned up…
