Wouldn't say 40k a week is unachievable, but you'd want a guaranteed starter for that money. |

Disagree with this. We want to keep as much continuity as we can this summer, so there's not much point trying to replace Palmer. Also it's the one position on the pitch where even newly promoted clubs can be quite ambitious when recruiting, so if we do go up we'd be able to make a big upgrade next summer. |

That January 2021 transfer window was peak banter era. Thankfully the last one under the Evans ownership.
Best loanees of the last 20 years.

The top 17 clubs are now so far ahead of everyone else that it would be silly for a Championship manager, or even one newly promoted to the Premier League, not to take one of those jobs if offered. |

Burnley under Dyche and Fulham under Silva are the best recent examples but the financial landscape has changed since then.
I can see Burnley finishing bottom next season; they've already lost Egan-Riley and Trafford will go too. |

Least shocking news of the year. Musk will be constantly throwing grenades at Trump to protect his own ego. A bit like what Cummings was to Johnson, just with a massive social media platform at his disposal. |

Won’t affect Reform in the short-term but Yusuf was supposedly the one looking to professionalise the party, so he’ll be a big miss on that front. He was also one of the very few who Reform trusted to do media appearances (they won’t let 30p Lee, Pochin or the one who beat up his girlfriend anywhere near question time) which puts more of a burden on Farage and Tice.
Another example of how shambolic they’d be if they got in power too. If they can’t keep a small group of MPs/officials happy, how on earth would Farage run his cabinet? |

Would have been a nightmare trying to replace a key striker for £3m within a week even with a competent ownership. I remember struggling to think of options - were we interested in Lukas Jutkiewicz back then or have I made that up? |

Only reason he played the first two Prem games was because Broadhead was injured and Clarke hadn't signed yet. I imagine we'd have loaned him out earlier if they'd been available. |

If he was at any other club, I'd want us to try and sign him, but it would take such a ridiculous fee to persuade them to sell to us that it wouldn't be good value. |

Huddersfield's squad is already top heavy so not sure a striker will be their priority. Hopefully we'll make our money back on AAH if he leaves, which would be more likely with a Championship club. |

The stuff about him being rated because of his name is nonsense - he's one of the best midfielders in the Championship at 19 and has the physical attributes to go to the top. |

I reckon Wrexham will play Leicester, so Sky can do the " just 9 years ago this fixture would have been Premier League Champions vs non-league minnows" routine.
Wouldn't be surprised if we're away at Birmingham. |

Reform would've claimed it was a disaster regardless. Their core support will be furious but I think there's more for them to lose in dragging up the Brexit debate again with a tired public that mostly wants to move on from the most toxic and divisive political issue of the last decade. |

Reply | Cunha to Old Trafford
at 18:08 19 May 2025
I'd argue the opposite. Cunha/Delap would have similar problems to Enciso/Delap because they're both off the cuff players and the structure of the attack falls apart when they're in the same side. |

100%. If you slot Szmodics or Chappers back into the ten, and either a direct winger in the Burns/Ogbene mould or a more advanced right-back, the structure works a lot better. |

I can see Lampard getting found out next year. He's definitely done a good job but Coventry weren't playing particularly badly under Robins, it just didn't translate into wins. It seems like one of those situations where Lampard came in as a fresh voice, replacing a manager whose influence had gone a bit stale, and got them performing to their level.
Their record from crosses is great but they're a bit too one-dimensional. The way Lampard sets up the midfield is bizarre, they don't create enough centrally and are very vulnerable to counter attacks. |

Reply | Reform Policy
at 09:33 8 May 2025
I’m glad that the planning reforms are going to reduce the power of local councils. For too long there has been no incentive to build anything because locals homeowners object to protect their house prices and local councillors often cave in to their demands to boost their re-election chances. Meanwhile, millions of struggling young people didn’t have a voice.
I’m not sure how workable it would be but if I was running the country I’d have implemented a policy whereby the locals who sign objections to housing proposals in their area have to pay extra council tax to make up for the lost revenue. That would have reduced the number of objections. |
