If he fails this season he'll be in the mud. Maybe a lower half club in Spain or Italy would take a risk but he'll never be back in England.

I love Fatawu but I don't get the impression he'd be able to analyse a players abilities to a higher level than our scouts

He 100% doesn't own this house. It was being done up by an Asian couple since just before covid, think they owned some sort of food business. I'm surprised they weren't living in it and were renting it out to be honest.

The dream is finding someone dependable like Evans who makes Faes look 10x the player he actually is

I somewhat agree, but I'm not sure there's any easy stats that we can look at that show "control" in a better way. Touches in mid 3rd perhaps? But a lot of our passing around the back will likely fall into this too. It was more just a quick test to see if what Ric said held up. The Southampton game is so clearly apparent on both charts too which says a lot.

For sake of completeness, theres some evidence more possession results in more shots but no evidence more possession results in more xG for us.

There's evidence that the opposite is true with a weak to moderate correlation. The suggestion the opposite has strong evidence is completely incorrect.

There are four games left. Smith got eight and barely anything changed. It would be insane to replace him now, especially as chances are getting created which the players aren't putting away. Maresca deserves a lot of criticism for Daka and Faes still starting but a sacking is completely overboard.

If the Trust doesn't ask the difficult questions then it might as well not exist. If the club blacklist the trust it will at least send a message to the wider world about the relationship between the board and the fans, which would get picked up by media and potentially lead to change. It's clear the current policy of soft questions and needy actions isn't having any effect anyway, so if they tried at least there'd be a chance.

Commencement of the work can be as simple as just digging up a small part of the surrounding tarmac. There's zero chance they let this lapse.

Would you swap our 20-21/21-22/22-23 seasons for Crystal Palace's?

What about Atletico Madrid? Terrible negative football and yet they have an incredible atmosphere. It's an English/Leicester thing.

This might be controversial but Brighton peaked last season. Gonna be a while before they get European football again.

If Vardy leaves we'll be left with two strikers, is that really where our money will be best spent? Whoever comes in will almost certainly need to be a passenger as I doubt we manage to get an upgrade on either Daka or Cannon. I feel like Vardy will suit the role of third choice perfectly if he takes a decent wage cut. He's still got the highest goals per 90 in the championship for players with more than 900 minutes.

How do you know about the inner workings of the club? Rudkin has people that work under him who could also be making the tea, there's no reason to target one man.

Port Vale fans aren't happy with this letter though https://www.onevalefan.co.uk/forum/topic/61460-an-open-letter-from-carol

I'm more talking about what's going on in El Salvador, I agree sentencing in this country is a joke. Unless you run a pirate football streaming service of course.

You didn't call them out as scumbags you said you wanted a dictator and an end to the rule of law lol. Sure sounds a great idea until Janet next door tells some lies to the police because she's got it in her head you've been mowing your lawn too early.

Until we find out it's 3m upfront with a 25% sell on clause

Who do you class as a decent manager? I certainly don't think we'll be able to do any better than Jesse Marsch if Enzo goes

If they want to add in a sell on clause we should just walk away. Italian's take the absolute piss in the transfer market...

The atmosphere was at it's worst yesterday in the last 20 minutes after we'd stopped bothering to play Enzoball and were just getting it forward

Should've just copied all the text from Of Fossils & Foxes in that section to be thorough

They said it's because Enzo Fernandez was playing with an injury
