The football media aren't bothered either. Must know won't to rattle any cages at Leicester at all - has to be th only way Anthony earns his corn because he doesn't do any communicating with the fanbase. This should be a pretty big story!

I'd rather appoint somebody with experience in that role or, a very similar role, than appointing somebody that did a mediocre job in a totally different role position 6 years ago.

A few don't seem to understand there's always trade offs with players too. If he was a commanding aerial presence on top of his shot stopping and ball playing ability - he'd have 200 Real Madrid appearances already. We certainly wouldn't have signed him for £7m from Brondby.

I think time will prove he’s a fantastic keeper. Lots of good players have been chewed up at West Ham. £15m was a poor deal, Trafford went for double that.

Having such a ridiculously bloated squad and signings foisted upon him means minutes played probably isn’t a totally fair reflection of how he’d have gotten on.

New sign is smart

Probably 3xd his salary

Gave up on about season 4, only so many times they can keep fumbling a theft

I went in there once, admittedly quite late on a Saturday but it was busy-ish, asked for a pint “Are you a member?” ”No, can I become one?” ”No” Genuinely

How we get her I don’t know…

Went to an elite school in Thailand, played Polo for years, been the director/owner of the club for 15 years and his grasp of English is that poor? He’s not intelligent enough, that’s the problem. Rudkin strikes me as having a room temperature IQ too

We have to wait and see I suppose but I think it’s 80% likely the appointment is a load of shit. McGuinness, Sormaz, Macia, Idiakez, Halajko et al moved very, very quickly after joining. Neither Rudkin or Top have been good at appoint managers so they’ll be even more clueless at recruiting for this role

I haven’t really - I’ve not found anywhere well suited for it

Yeah I went to the Navi’s beer festival and whenever I walk into Barrow always stop in for a pint. Saw it’s having a bit of a refurb so hope it’s a light touch. I’ve not been into the Woodies for a while, very Cotton Traders last time I went in, overdue a visit. Where do you watch football on TV locally (if you ever do)?

The Apple Tree is good generally, beer selection is surprisingly decent. I work with somebody that lives around the corner so I’ve been a few times, the memorabilia is cool - half full of the aforementioned Forest cvnts though. White Horse, Quorndon Fox, White Hart (not as bad) are the pits

Yep, saw saw they were looking for somebody to take on the Royal Oak a while back. Badly needs a refurb and not the usual Everards panelling and 2010s upholstery jobby. Woodies is an excellent counter balance though. Quorn’s Royal Oak and the Blacksmith’s are great V-neck free zones though

Football going so aggressively man to man means flair players will become more useful again, you don't want the unit CB following a 5'6 player around the pitch. 4 CBs and set piece exploitation will be a short blanket in Bentiez's parlance with a lack of goals from open play being scored as teams wise up to SPs. Possibly 5-10 years off yet but it's what I think will happen.

Way better on cask than keg isn't it. If somebody good took on the old pub in Rothley (name escapes me) on the right as you head towards the crossroads or Welsic ln, it was up for sale recently - you'd have an amazing Rothley-Mountsorrel-Quorn crawl.

It’s amazing Southampton manage to be worse than us, a club whose owner has given up.

If you mean a better player for Maidstone United then yes

Careful what you wish for

His record per 90 was good but he scored goals as the most advanced forward, we had Vardy who played as the last man striker - never going to work. Technically he was pretty mediocre and if he was capable of 20+ PL goals he wouldn’t have ended up at Leicester at 27/28. Soumare has only ever looked good playing with two or three other central midfielders, he has no attacking ability and defensively he’s a liability. Just not having it that he’s any good

Is Jon Rudkin a woman, gay, black, Jewish or disabled? No. So then it doesn’t meet a threshold for hate speech at all. Hate speech is for “protected characteristics”.

Ndidi was underrated, even when he tailed off a bit he still had ridiculous defensive numbers. We miss him now.

I’m always undecided but I think Glover probably is a good scout and HoR - it’s just he operates under Rudkin
