Be great to get this sorted so a) we start to look less incompetent b) we can start selling it c) we can actually unveil some signings holding it!

Probably won't be Alves unless we get his contract sorted (unless I missed an extension). The obvious ones are Nelson, Fatawu or Hermansen. Based on very little more than blind optimism I've not completely given up on Cannon!

Stool Eye Check, great we’re selling our backup keeper as well.

You may have missed it, but they’re not in the same division as us. Who cares who they sign!

Fair play to him. He’s stuck around, played a big part in us going up now got a move that’ll set him up financially for the rest of his life and give him a platform to progress his career. Plus solved our financial situation at the same time. Is he slightly limited and good enough for Chelsea? That’s their concern. From our perspective don’t think we can begrudge him the move. So good luck!

Well you’d assume not, but doubt he’s left the Chelsea development squad for a straight swap to ours so who knows. Think you’d expect him to be around the PL squad and maybe starting in cup games.

Yeah but then he’d be down as £4m a season vs £1m now. You’d guess we only needed to sell KDH for £30m so no value for either team inflating his book value. My guess is we’ll never know!

Not sure how the PSR maths is working here but you’d have to assume we’ve got a discount here in return for a lower KDH fee. If we can get in 4-5 high potential younger signings to add to the likes of Nelson, Fatawu, Alves and co the future of the club may be looking good. Even if the short term is bumpy!

VK strengths appear to be shouting for the ball and running in a way that looks really really slow.

Bless you. It’s probably hayfever.

You’d have to assume he’ll replace Gallagher there.

If he loses his first 6 games we can all hand back out STs, Top can wind the club up and we can all get on with our lives able to tell our grandchildren about Ranieri and the magic of 2015/16.

Maybe think through when it happens. If it’s as common when talking to family/friends as in stressful situations it might be physical. Sounds like it might be more anxiety based though given how you describe the scenario. I often get a very (like very!) dry mouth when presenting so knowing it will happen always have a drink with me and on occasions pop a tic tac under the tongue before hand to produce more saliva! Seems trivial advice but thought I’d share. And if you can defo face into it 👍🏻

Feel like knowing our points deduction could have a big steer on our transfer strategy this summer. -15pts and we may as well build for next season; no loans, younger players who can develop, bring some through the academy, keep it tight on wages. -4pts and we're still in with a good chance of staying up and can go for it a bit more.

Tattooist "What would you like?" Joe Hart "Gaffer tape" Tinman “Yeah, loads and loads of it”

Should hit positive figures by about November. Bring it on!

All the relegation 6 pointers to finish the season then!

Very excited by some holidays I've managed to book. Pembrokeshire in July, Lisbon in August, 2 weeks in Tuscany and Rome in October then Japan in April. Next step, work out how to fund it all!

Only if he keeps Faes in the team.

Think they’ve missed the comma out. That looks more like the “Graham, potter masterclass” video. “Aye, I remember the first bowl I made back in 1987” Graham said while wistfully reflecting on his journey to master potter.

Ending careers… of a defender who looks like he’s never played football!

You could argue that what isn’t sustainable is losing millions and millions of pounds every year. Guess that doesn’t matter when you’re backed by a country! As the old saying goes, what’s the quickest way to become a millionaire? Be a billionaire and buy a football club!

I hope we get Hairy Potter.

You’ll change your mind when you catch up on the thread and see him with a beard and black turtleneck 🤩

Great, can I be the first to commit my sheer horror at the thought of Southgate being our next manager!
