Everton will ignore financial rules, funnel more money in from Usmanov (their real owner) and probably piss the league.

This is not correct. Ankersen and Kraft are both minority shareholders in Sports Republic.

Only Saints could appoint someone from a club with 115 charges hanging over their head as independent director in charge of audit.

Absolutely. He's been here half a season. Stand right in his way.

Another vote for Aribo. Currently fifth with 11 votes.

Must win!!!

I fucking love "premadonna". Makes me chuckle every time.

Managing a Premier League scale football club, presumably?

The best transfer window we've had in recent years, by far, was the one where our manager, Koeman, was clearly linked to many of the signings. You'd think we might have learnt something from that.

If Forest spend ten years in the Prem then their atmosphere will end up as shite us ours.

The key for the Championship is to have a quality manager, be organised and play with a bit of identity. I think people are massively underestimating how good some of our players are. They are collectively seemingly weak mentally and obviously need some shaking up but a lot of them are technically miles better than the likes of Billy Sharp, Dean Hammond, Danny Fox, Guly etc. The most important thing this summer is to get the right manager in and let him decide who he wants to keep, and obviously plugging the gaps that open up with departures.

Just saw him with Bierhoff and Sacchi at Winchester Services on A34.

Keep McCarthy if his pay will be low enough. Otherwise Bazunu plus an old head. Tino, Bree, Larios. Ideally keep Perraud. If not, need a new LB. At CB, the only one I'd actually want to keep is Bednarek, funnily enough. Salisu clearly wants out. ABK too good but misses a lot of games. Stephens.. meh. Lyanco, too mental. We should try to negotiate with City and Lavia to sell now with a loan back for another year. Unlikely, I guess. So that leaves Smallbone. Diallo can leave. Need some experience at CM. We should do whatever we can to keep Alcaraz. I'd give Walcott another year if he'll take sensible wages. I'd also keep Djenepo, and Edozie should get a chance. Supplement with a nipper. If Tella is around too, then great. Aribo and Moi can do one. Stuart Armstrong seems to have fitness issues now. Orsic... lol. Up front, I'd keep Tall Paul and look to shift everyone else. Adams will be wanted by lower Prem teams. So, basically, need a rebuild at CB, CM and striker, and hopefully one or two of the youth can come through. CB and CM needs to be folk with leadership attributes.

Probably best for people in positions of authority not to stand too close to open windows tomorrow. Would hate for another accident to happen.

Not if Lavia wants to go back to City and we can afford not to sell him. As per the previous post, we should be talking with City to accelerate their buy back on the condition that Lavia stays with us for another season on loan.

You're forgetting that a club might have a points deduction. Where there's life, there's hope.

Yeah, I hate scattergun transfer clubs. That's why I'm glad we've only signed: Bazunu Perraud Bree ABK DCC Alcaraz Lavia Larios Aribo Edozie Tall Paul Sulemana Orsic and AMN on loan.

Win all our matches and we'll stay up. Remember when Leicester won the league? If you see a fat lady starting to sing, shut that lard-ass up. Let's keep it tight and do them late on. BELIEVE. CoYR. McCarthy AMN Lyanco Janny B ABK KWP -----<<<<Diallo>>>>------- -----JWP ------- Lavia------- -------Moi--Armstrong(A)--- Unleash Tall Paul, Adams, Sulemana, Stuart Armstrong, Edozie, Aribo and Alcaraz later in the game when they tire. RRRREEEDDDD ARRRRMMYYY!!!

Must be knocking on a bit by now. He was no spring chicken when I was a nipper! I understand he remains resolutely anti-woke.

I'm not sure there has been a single match this season when we've picked our best XI.

Anyone seen The Laughing Paki lately? N.B. it's not racist, that's his Nom De Guerre.

Yep. That was the one match this season I have been to (live far away now) and I was shocked how awful we were, both in terms of on pitch quality and managerial nous. That was going to be our Big Reset. Sack Ralph at World Cup break and give the new guy a pre-season! P.s. and it's Nathan Jones! Mental.

If this was another year under Gao, you'd be right. But it wasn't, and you're not. We spent plenty of money this year and signed tonnes of players. The only reason we are still experiencing the slump of the last few years is because a lot of the signings have been poor and the replacement of Ralph was inept.

I was going to say top 9, but top 10 is OK.

Yes, asking price should be 25m+.
