@davieG Can you put the loss in the topic title please

It's Pravda bullshit, no progress, no reconciliation can ever happen if they don't concede things are ever wrong. F uck them, they deserve abuse and vitriol.

"Profitable player trading" We made a profit on players we were forced to sell because we were relegated, including the 'pure profit' on our best academy player for ~30 years.

Nobody is buying Bilal.

Is the Cherry Tree tied to a brewery? Seems like a freehouse. If they pushed the boat out on the beer it’d be a 9/10 imo

Managers doing fairly well at clubs in a lower division do get their hat thrown into the ring

There’s never a perfect time to play youngsters. 15 minutes here and there will have be far more beneficial than protecting them from a negative environment. If we had Lamine Yamal on our books we wouldn’t play him and he’d leave.

We should just employ people with a good track record in the right roles. No Rudkin, Pearson, Puel, Steve Walsh whoever as a DoF, just go and recruit one with a good track record and background as director of football.

Thomas. He looked better fresh out of the academy than he did after a few years around the first team.

They weren’t in PSR bother

Appointing Cooper and then spending £50m+ on dross all whilst narrowly escaping FFP/PSR charges scarcely makes any sense at all

4 starts, 3 assists.

@Dan

We have an owner that thinks he doesn’t have to do anything and a director of football who thinks he does admin. Really is no wonder we’re so badly ran. Nobody is responsible or accountable for anything

The Market Cat in York (Pivni/Thornbridge) is the absolute gold standard in how to do a new pub imo.

Top is most of the way there anyway

And Skipp. All of these signings had serious holes picked in them by a few on here on the summer - that’s with a cursory glance at stats sites too. Nevermind what Rudkin and Glover would have access to.

Agree with everything you’ve said

BDCR and Ayew are only declining. I don’t even rate him but at least McAteer is quick, homegrown and hungry. Play him, Bilal and Buonanotte and we at least have a bit of dynamism going forwards. Then try Evans and Monga off the bench. The situation we’re in is shit but it gives a rare opportunity to play players with any pressure of needing results - it can hardly be worse.

I hate the AI slop but it’s useful in a work context. For ideation, summaries, spell check, condensing word counts etc. AI LinkedIn posts are like 60hz of retinal cancer though

The lack of commercial demand into the airport the problem perhaps? Calling it Nottingham-Leicester airport probably makes more sense to Europeans flying in, EMA makes sense to locals but we already know if it. 99% of British people wouldn’t be able to point to any airports named after regions (or people) in Europe. It’s also completely typical of Leics’ rail connectivity that EMA parkway isn’t even close to it. Equally, a direct rail link to BHX from Leicester would be useful.

Oliver Bosworth is former youth player of ours

It shows how clueless Top is, he could release a statement full of platitudes promising to change and appoint a new director, not even replacing Rudkin and 50% of the wavering fans would be on board again for a season. Instead it’s the KP modus operandi of say absolutely nothing.

Wasn’t even that cold but I just want to bring it up - Moscow
