they could loan themselves gabbiadini, gaston ramirez and yoshida at no extra price now

Nor does Yosh, he left last year - he’s in Germany. And Gabbi is crocked. 
 

Still got the best kit in the league though.

I'm not sure on the mechanics of how it works, but I would assume so. Its basically a subscription package through the EFL (maybe clubs in the EFL), which shows every league game.

What that means is that it is easy to find 'alternative' streams, if you don't want to pay...

Seemed to take a long time from November to the inevitable confirmation in May. 

Looking good for an old northern saint, with the possibility of 10 away games. On the map all club down to and including Stoke. New away grounds for me will only be Rotherham, Preston & Hull. 

Looking forward to the fixture list and the new season already.

My understanding is that not every team gives the option to sign up to watch every game.

If Saints do go for it then I think they don't show the games when they are on ESPN+. You'll still need that as well.

We'll have to see what happens...

Weird that they allow this but the 3pm blackout is still a thing.

Leicester's released and retained list is out: https://www.lcfc.com/news/3529945
 
Youri Tielemans, Çağlar Söyüncü, Daniel Amartey, Nampalys Mendy, Ryan Bertrand, Ayoze Pérez and Tetê will all bring their spells at King Power Stadium to an end.
 
The Club remains in discussions with captain Jonny Evans with regard to his future beyond the expiration of his current deal this month, while an option has been exercised to extend the contract of midfielder Hamza Choudhury to June 2024.

Bertrand is out of contract anyway.

They all are, that’s the point of the article.

We should be all over that.

With Tielemans feeding killer passes into that nipper from Wrexham to bang them in, we'd be nailed on Champions.

But unfortunately our club leadership DO NOT HAVE THE VISION to make this a reality.

Fuck off mate. Tielmans in midfield, Hazard out wide, Mullin up front. We will walk this league.

The ambition left with Cortese. He'd make it happen.

If you live overseas you get the 3 pm games. I had a look at the Shef Utd site and it was £40 A MONTH, and even then you don't get the matches that are screened where you a living.  It was £10 a month just for commentary.  Not like the old days when I could listen for free on the club website.

Indeed so. The post I referenced merely said released and retained.

Never been to Blackburn, Coventry, Huddersfield, Plymouth, Preston, Rotherham, Sunderland or Swansea so will try to get some of them done. 
 

A mate who’s an Ipswich fan reckons they’ll do alright, they got a lot of points in L1 last season and we remember what it’s like to have that momentum. Think it’ll be hard for us to get back into a winning habit.

That's nice of them. 

It's far too early to tell though, I think it will be a very close division with a few points separating top and midtable. 

Some clubs will use the loan market well but often those deals are completed late in the window, just hope we can get a settled side with the new manager but it's bound to take time especially with players leaving.

I think one things for sure, signing a manager (well.. sort of.. we’ve managed to make a mess of that even if I agree with the sentiment) early was good work from us, but realistically I hope we are putting the groundwork in early whilst Leicester and Leeds are in relative disarray

Leicester need a manager and need to understand their outgoings before they can consider strengthening for a promotion push (although they’ll remain a strong outfit imo)

Leeds need to ratify the takeover, find a manager AND a DoF (probably) again before figuring out how they’ll strengthen, they worry me the most as I anticipate a decent spend from them this year

Solskjaer and Smith would be disasters in that they wouldn't get Leicester near the top, so hopefully one of those two. Maresca's an unknown quantity and while I wouldn't want Parker here, he has got two promotions to his name.

Not an exciting list of names, though.
