Ric Flair

Given we've supposedly paid Coady £70k a week in the Championship for him to make 7 starts, just offer Monga £25k a week basic and £50k an appearance. Blows anything other teams would be willing to match. This is not a gamble, the kid is going right to the top. Generational player.

The Barca rumours were when he'd not yet broken through in to the 1st team. His big contract was dished out after breaking through under Shakespeare and then Puel.

Genuinely don't care. Won't watch another game this season unless we show any evidence of attempting something different, such as blooding some academy players.

What's the route like? Read its quite undulating but that can mean anything. See you there pal!

Hopefully Evans doesn't get pinched too, absolute mustard.

Not particularly. Our model has been to play the long game and take advantage of us being the most successful midlands club over the last decade that's helped us recruit the best kids in the midlands from 8-9 upwards and we're finally starting to see the breadth of talent coming through. We don't actively recruit 15-17 year olds that often, and those we do get seem to come from London clubs like Arsenal, Chelsea and Palace and quite possibly because those clubs are willing to release them vs us signing them and going to tribunal. The last players that fit this ilk I can remember is Ben Grist, Brad Young and Callum Hulme.

Hopefully we get a transfer embargo and our priority is getting rid of any player on more than £50k a week and bringing through academy players.

Be interesting to see what happens to him. He's having a very good season in Bundesliga 2 which has been the breeding ground for some very good players. Ao Tanaka was the one that got away.

I've entered Kettering half marathon for this Sunday, hopefully no new ailment between now and then 😂

Yes, we agreed a fee with Man City. Was seven figures.

Give it Briggs til the end of the season

Good to see Evans back fit. Shame Tommy Neale hasn't made the last two squads after his recent dominance.

What he's doing for England U16s will add significant value on to any compensation fee not to mention domestically.

Was completely unfazed in the Papa John's or whatever its called. Was skinning players left, right and centre. Was closer to 14 then as well, quite staggering. He looks like he's going to play 1st team football very early. He'll be in next season if he stays here and elsewhere probably on the fringes in the PL.

Absolute beast of a player. Going right to the top.

Today's conditions are quite possibly the most perfect I've ever ran in. Might be recency bias after a very grey and bleak winter but today makes all those runs from November - February so worth it. Been extremely ill the last two weeks and had to pull out a half marathon last weekend so today's 15km was very welcome. Think I'm going to do Kettering half marathon on Sunday now, there were still spaces last week.

Wasn't that an offer of a move abroad? Germany or somewhere.

Me joking about us getting a better tune out of an Alpaca has been miscommunicated to the lads 😂😂😂

Will be just our luck

That's frustrating.

Murphy's actually been a manager before at Rochdale and then Man City U21s. Dawson's always been a coach.

Murphy and King until the end of the season.

I want maximum rodgering in terms of having to lower our wage bill and a transfer embargo as I think we will finally have to prioritise bringing through our impressive academy proteges. Hopefully that doesn't result in loads of them getting nicked for a pittance, if we could actually re-emerge from the ashes with a new blueprint and lean, mean fighting machine approach it could be the making of us. But I'm also trying not to be so naive. Points deductions wise I can't see it being huge (presuming this will be in relation to breaching 2022/23 PSR if they can hit us with that) but probably enough to scupper automatic promotion.

I'd like to profusely apologise for him being my number one pick last summer. This is now two managers on the spin with a massive track record in academy success that has completely disregarded young players in favour of perceived experience that are an absolute calamity. Horrific appointment. Get him gone and give it Murphy and King until the summer.
