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?

Flynn Downes isn't as small as his Wikipedia page and other websites claim. He is not 5 foot 8! Heights of footballers on lots of websites are often nonsense.

They aren't both 'crap' in the Championship.

I think random Saints fans on X with 120 followers are unlikely to get transfer exclusives. X is a hive of random fans making up transfer rumours. I don't think it even warrants an "apparently"!

Is this your source...? (It isn't a good one)

Saints also would have no transfer fee to pay, so can inflate the deal from a base of having significantly more money than Hearts.

Are you basing that on a claim by someone who pretends to be an agent and thinks Swansea is the capital of Wales?

Their income and wage budget would still be tiny compared to ours. Our matchday income, commercial deals and most significantly huge parachute payments blow them out of the water.

Because they have a significantly smaller income and wage budget compared to ours. It is tiny in comparison.

He is out of contract on 30th June 2026, they do not need to do business with Saints to sign him. They just need to contact his agent.

Why?

When I do a search it brings up loads of match videos of him. Including this vs Saints last season...

Seemingly!

A YouTube search brings up lots of match footage

Is a day in the life of a barista at Costa Coffee 'dramatic'? ☕

I don't think any of them said a deal was close. They just said Saints were interested. Big difference between the two.

A precedent is a previous ruling by the same governing body that guides future decisions by that governing body. The FA isn't bound by, nor does it automatically follow, decisions made by FIFA, UEFA, or the Canadian association. It is not a precedent.

It being a different governing body makes it not a precedent. It would only be a precedent if the FA had given out a ban for the offence.
