Stadt

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.

We’re a shambles behind the scenes but to managers we have great facilities, a young squad and money (not cognisant of our wage bill problem). You’d have to be pretty scrupulous to walk away from it as an opportunity. Top and Chansiri are crap owners but opposite sides of the sane coin - one is too involved and the other does **** all which is probably a welcome change. For Rohl it’s a good opportunity to work with better players and get paid probably twice as much to do it. His big upside for me is he’s fulfilled a manager role at Wednesday rather than a head coach one - which is exactly what we need because of our dunces behind the scenes.

263’s closing tomorrow

My brother said it’s the best T20 game he’s ever been too, in part because of the atmosphere

American owners are largely pretty effective because the push data and analytics. The worst USAUSAUSA antics are behind them Liverpool, Bournemouth, Wrexham, Birmingham, Palace are all getting it right currently

Another Reims player, 20 year old DM that looks excellent defensively and reasonable in possession https://fbref.com/en/players/2eb1ec07/Amadou-Kone Relegated St Etienne this time and his name sounds like a fake bag you might purchase on the Costa Del Sol but this is a cracking profile https://fbref.com/en/players/c37823fe/Louis-Mouton 6'2 as well and we need some height as well lose Ndidi.

If we shift two or three of Coady, Vestergaard, Faes and okoli we probably need another CB. Reims went down so resigning Kipre wouldn't be the worst move, only has two years remaining. Would probably be happy being 3rd choice. https://fbref.com/en/players/9f30e7ed/Cedric-Kipre

Trevaskis has been unlucky not to play more. Can’t be that sharp and his batting performance was spot on too. Incredible we have players as good as him waiting in the wings compared to Finan, Sakande, Rhodes et al

Didn’t watch the game so maybe he was naive but Kimber’s 40 from 22 is a commendable knock. He put runs on the board when nobody else had at that point.

We have the world's most expensive training ground too. We can't eat our cake and have it too, we're not a small club - we have the name, prestige, facilities and potential fanbase of a top 10 club.

All of our badges have been great

My gut feeling is we land him. There isn't a market for him in the PL, German clubs won't pay the compensation. Southampton were the most natural fit but they went elsewhere. I heard something about the clause halving for Championship clubs so when we're in the next accounting period and officially a Championship shareholder again we'll sack RVN and appoint Rohl. You'd have thought Top and Chansiri share notes on running a club into the ground know each other which may smooth things over too.

The whole transfer has gone down exactly how I expected it to. Overpaid on the fee, big wages, too long a deal, not actually any good, bloated the squad and is a burden in the Championship. Now he thinks he's too good for the Championship! Fatawu's attitude on the other hand is absolutely first class, we probably overpaid slightly for him (given his standing), his wages will be lower, works hard and has great technical ability. Being so manager-led on recruitment's means we don't back our winning picks.

The longer Top waits to sell the less valuable the club is. He can’t run the club or appoint people that can, we’ll eventually struggle to repay loans and be stricken financially.

Super kit

They seemed to enjoy it. I keep getting ads for DS/gameboy emulators that are about £40 and have hundreds of games on - I never played gold/silver (or the remakes), tempted to buy one.

We should never have paid £12m for a back up keeper anyway but we spent that much on this dosser 7 years he’s been a professional tard at the club, 7 ****ing years

The lineup at Warsaw was embarrassing, it was only our 6th (?) European campaign ever and we were putting weak teams out.

Out for my girlfriend’s birthday yesterday so couldn’t make it down but seemed a top night. I knew Budinger would eventually get it right, if Kimber finds a bit of form too they could be so destructive together
