JE is building a squad to avoid relegation, or "compete" as he put it. Considering the financial constraints that makes complete sense to me. As he said in a recent interview he's spent 20 years in this division (which is an admission), so he should know what needs to be done.

Great Kraftwerk song.

25% (including me) not renewing.

No, part of the contract will include the player bringing his own national flag.

Okay why did Bristol and WBA allow him to leave?

As I asked earlier, why have Bristol let him go?

Why have Bristol let him go?

He is.

Well it seems that there is a good chance that we are about the test all the theories regarding interested parties, admin and the rest.

If they're planning their exit, why the 20th important?

1-1. Abysmal defending.

Anyone having a problem expanding today's stream on a MacBook?

I think £9m is as good as it gets.

Before leaving for the UK, Jashibashi took the opportunity to buy the first class next Thursday's Hiroshima Three Arrows vs Stegar preseason warm-up match. No. 77 special air support uniform has 100 fans. Special autographed thank you card. Although it was not possible to say goodbye to a group of three arrows fans on the pitch, the bridge still hopes to send thanks to him by hand, and thank him for his support for half a year. Japan is a country full of human feelings, never too much #布力般RumourMill #YukiOhashi

We don't know if these are like-for-like roles, so a head count if only one measure. It also ignores the human cost of administration to many families in the area. It's important that this issues are discussed in good faith and honestly and in the right spirit. A sale to another owner (which may also include job loses of course) is all our preferences. Administration is in no-ones interest.

75 staff were made redundant at Wigan, 25 (at least) at Derby, similar at Huddersfield.

You are indeed correct, although redundancy payments in these situations are less than generous.

Regarding administration, a cursory glance around the 'net gives examples were numerous employees have been sacked, bills never settled and youth systems undermined. Why we would be any different, I'm yet to hear.

You've answered a rather different question, which I didn't ask, which was how people are you happy to see lose their jobs or businesses if we enter administration?

Is that up for debate?

Evidence from other clubs is that is exactly what happens. Happy to be persuaded otherwise.

A terrible view to take. Many people would lose their jobs and some local suppliers would go unpaid. I assume you're not one of them.

We've signed the lad from Linfield.
