Anything north of of £15m we'd really have to consider it. He's a good Championship winger but he didn't completely tear it up last time, 12 goals, 6 assists, in 40 nineties for a side that won the league isn't that good. 0.38 non penalty xG+xA per 90 is average. Karlan Grant, Robbie Brady, Josh Murphy, Callum Robinson are in that ball park last season.

Funnily enough I disembarked at Leicester and got a taxi from Conduit St which completely goes toe to toe with Brussels MZ. I wasn’t overly keen on it but didn’t dislike it either. However the beer (fantastic breadth and depth) food culture is redeeming. La fleur en papier doré is European Bar Guide’s #1 for 2025 and I can totally see it - more romantic than English pubs.

It’s amazing an area of a western capital is so run down, not just filthy but lawless too. Antwerp had the standard European dicey station environs (station itself is great) but it really picks up and culminates into an attractive centre.

Brussels Midi-Zuid is an incredible shithole

Hard disagree on that one

Antwerp is a great boozing city, much better than Bruges which was disappointing - at least midweek anyway. Kulminator is possibly the most unique pub I’ve been to, the neurotic landlord grills you on the way in to ensure you actually like a Lambic and you’re not just some sort of pisshead reveller. There’s hundreds of bottled beers in there, including amongst other ether beers, a John Smith’s from 1987(!). Tynt Meadow is proudly a write in after the 2017 publishing date too.

The estate agent I bought my house from was useless. Don’t even tell the seller about our second offer. They phoned up like, “sooo, errr do you want to put another offer in?” ”We have, on X date” ”oh right, erm yep, we’ll talk to the vendor” We had it like 10 minutes later, probably worked in our favour as nobody else had put an offer in and it was £11,000 under asking but we could have lost it entirely because of their incompetence.

Probably not seeing as Lyon pep buying their deadwood for serious money. Discrediting PSR is great but these deals surely don’t comply

Pride completely cosy up the club in these meetings. Complete sycophants and as far as I’m aware have never once criticised the club. The official supporters club the same. They care more about the tea and cake sinecure than their fellow fans.

The Coulibaly signing was a stupid overpay at £2m with 6 months left on his contract.

We signed Coady before Maresca joined iirc because we needed a 'leader'. Even our dossers should be able to pick up the simpler squad depth players without a manager but that seems beyond them.

The Coulibaly signing was a stupid overpay at £3m with 6 months left on his contract.

https://fbref.com/en/players/9220e731/Cameron-Brannagan Seems a better 8 than anybody we have (arguably we have none so not a great reflection) but we can do better.

We've seen enough of him to know he's not the answer, a goal against a crap Ipswich side and Senegal doesn't change that. If he starts for us next season we're in trouble, fine as a squad player but £5m is of more use to us in our position. Alves is 3 year younger and looks better technically to me. He should be the third choice winger after Fatawu and Mavididi.

Stemmed the tide well here, have every chance on this pitch below 210

Jo Brand on co-comms?

Yep, 21/22 we spent big and consciously (if you believe them) didn’t make a sale. That record net spend, beaten by last summer’s dross btw, was on Daka, Soumare & Vestergaard none of whom were signed as first choice players. £40m on a proper RW and no additional spend would have been better.

It’s Leicester College culinary students so it isn’t quite at the level it needs to be true fine dining. It’s pretty reasonably priced for a 6 or 7 course taster menu though. Went there this evening and it was an about £120 for 14 courses and a bottle of wine. I bet 3 courses each and a house wine at the sodding Gynsills would cost about £80

I was really sceptical of Department Q at first, the early episodes were completely hackneyed and trite but it grew into a superb first season. Original settings, villains, tight script etc.

Reopening August in St Martin’s Sq

If he plays more than 900 minutes next season we’re in trouble. Fatawu, Mavididi, Alves and some combination of Evans/Monga should be playing the majority of games out wide. If KM can fetch ~£5m+ (could have had twice that!) then it’s great business.

Our board can’t find them

We’re better off with a good manager that gets poached than a worse one that stays. If we don’t go up in the next two seasons it’s curtains for us - our finances are on a cliff edge.
