How do you know they didn't? Leicester in League One have a bigger income and better facilities than most Championship clubs.

He has managed for 3 seasons in the 24 team Championship and improved each year. His first season at Swansea had a significantly reduced budget compared to the previous manager and came 15th, improved to 10th and then 4th with us. What about that makes League One his level? I think he is a Championship level manager now in League 1, who is out of his depth in the Premier League.

Why is League 1 his level rather than the Championship, where he had 3 seasons finishing higher in the next year (15th, 10th, 4th)?

They can put the other players in a skip

What precedent set by the FA is there for that?

You have confused governing bodies. The charges for Man City are by the Premier League, not the FA. The case is being heard by an independent commission appointed under Premier League rules, not by the FA.

They were accused of cheating, I asked what have they done to cheat. That is not an unreasonable question.

What have the FA done to cheat?

None of that is relevant to meeting a definition of being a journeyman. A journeyman is about moving from club to club throughout a career. Ward-Prowse has two main clubs and two loans in circa 25 years! That isn't a journeyman career. Your point about England caps is also wrong, as Rickie Lambert and James Ward-Prowse both have 11 caps for England!

Not overly comparable as Lake Titicaca is over 5,000 feet further above sea level than the Azteca Stadium!

1) The stats show otherwise regarding his passing. 2) The other players who stayed weren't PL quality, he and others who were sold for big money were. That is why they were wanted and the others weren't. So it would be daft for them to hold any kind of grudge against him. None of them would have stayed with us in the Championship if a £100k+ p/w contract was on offer to them.

He was here for 20+ years. He is hardly disloyal! He then had the opportunity to keep his £100k+ wages and continue at Premier League level after our relegation. Daft to blame him for not turning that down. Clearly it didn't ultimately work out well for him in footballing terms, but he wasn't to know that at the time.

Haven't you done what you accused @hypochondriac of doing? 🤔

We didn't have our current one for 89 years of the clubs existence. Things change.

If such practice was commonplace with agents leaking false claims to the press, why would the clubs take such stories seriously enough to the extent it impacts their actions?

They are not all players who can only play as a holding midfielder role.

He is an out of contract player, so of course he is available. Why would an agent need to invent this story for Wolves and West Ham to know that he is available? They'd know regardless that he was out if contract and even if they didn't... the agent could just tell them directly rather than making up stories in the media.

It isn't a single spot. We play with two central midfielders in a 4231 system and Charles is seemingly going to leave. So if Neil joins, it would be 4 players for 2 spots which is reasonable.

We did not have it for 89 years of the club's history.

Or an urn...

If the chimneys can't be on it as they are now rubble, what would the image of Fred Dibnah look like given he died 22 years ago?

Stoke have redone theirs based on elements of their multiple old badges...

The game is in a SO postcode, so not much of a trip, and in mid July it's probably better to play in the cooler evening.

Why are you writing him off due to height and his club? In 1997 would you not want Claude Makélélé to sign for Saints because he is 5 foot 9 and plays for Nantes?
