The good news is at least they aren’t handing out Chang’s. That would have been really horrible.

What ever happens this year (rightly or wrongly), i think you just need to presume that the charge is because they want (for whatever reason) to get rid of the cards and move to digital. So probably presume either more of the same next season, or probably worse.

I presume they are all back now? Its all gone pretty quiet on Instagram.

The thing is, a few of us were arguing this about Kels last summer. I said frequently that he likely will run his contract out and we would see performances tail off, and i was frequently told Kel would score for fun in the championship and he isn't the sort of person to behave like that. Need to get smarter than this. I was even dubious about Ndidi and although he was great 1st half of season, latter part wasn't the same.

Surely you can have 'infinite amortisation'. Just start saying even though the player is on a 5 year deal we expect them to be here for 50 years +.

In our account we setup what email address the tickets go to. My wifes phone is setup to get both hers and my sons ticket, but this could be changed and sent to his if we wanted. Would rather he wasnt taking his phone to games. Never tried forwarding though.

When buying mobile tickets as a member its all sorted long before you head to the ground. Its in my wallet (i obvs check it) and just open the wallet when i get to the game. I've never had a single issue and been to every home game this season with the digital ticket. But then, i check them and i get to the ground in good time.

That article is all agent bollox right? Talk of lots of PL interest. Agent will be pushing Villa because he knows they are one of the few that hand out big contracts like sweeties. Might happen, but i would be surprised.

I think it happened earlier in the season when Enzo thought that he might work better in the system. We also may have offered him reduced terms. We don't know.

It will be Brentford.

He was reportedly on £140k a week at Arsenal

He couldn't play 90 minutes (there was a stat flying around that he did it once in his entire time with us) and if he played 3 or 4 consecutive games he would invariably be injured. Who is going to buy that?

Also, although i dislike him, Guillame's point about Top asking Enzo to 'play like Man City' is interesting. We know that Enzo said 'you can't', but i wonder if there is another conversation that comes out of the woodwork from this. Putting the evil and illegal funding to one side, the football operations side of Man City is exceptional and Enzo has experienced that first hand. They maximise revenue opportunities, they monetise their academy, their recruitment isn't reactionary and has strategic planning (not just at the player level), they use data effectively etc to point out just a few. We shouldn't just replicate Man City, but part of me hopes that Enzo and the board can start thinking about what changes need to be put in place for us to maximise out opportunities better. Enzo always talks about us being an important club and talks about our trophies - he knows how this stuff works.

Did we qualify for Europe by winning the Championship

Only because there is no tournament this year. If there was Alves would be golden boot and Sammy would be heart throb of the tournament. ok, you are probably right. Whatever happens it has to be the best loan for them. I do feel with the high ceiling these 2 should have though we should be quite demanding.

Their minutes have been managed this year for sure, but these 2 are wasted in League 1. If we can be convinced to take a 20 year old Casadei (yes i know he had a short spell at Reading), then a mid table Championship club should lap these 2 up.

If they go anywhere it needs to be a top 8 championship team with appearance obligations. They are too good to go to league 1.

@Pub breath .....

He rents is apparently. We had the same with Youri about 2 years ago.

Not having that. He started 5 of the first 6 league games this season. He rotated every match with Vardy in the first 12. He was given chances. When Daka came in his stats were exceptional.

Im not sure i consider him a bargain at all. There is talent for sure, but at PL level, im really convinced. He was so weak and getting him to stay on his feet looked impossible. Just look at Blackburns 2nd goal. We are playing a crazy high line and he goes to ground (full Madders style) with the slightest of touches against him and it left us totally exposed. Its happened too many times for me.

Ha, so on Saturday when Kels tried to get past a defender but really got nowhere, my son turned to me and said 'What a donkey!'. He clearly listens to me too much.

I'm shocked i tells ya. Shocked.

But the PL statement for Forest said exactly this. It seems not to be a consideration.

Sure - i am aware that the PSR calc needs to be agreed but thats just part of the process and i know was a sticking point with Everton. 'Negotiation' made it sound we were trying to work on a deal with the PL. I maybe read it wrongly. We can only go through the process.
