Plus another 22m for a manager and staff that they binned off after 6 months.

How did we reach 168m for 23-24? Caicedo + Sanchez is £140m, is there 20m+ of Mac allister bonus payments in there?

Meh. We've spent about 10m less this summer than Chelsea paid for Caicedo, Sanchez and Potter. Sack the board.

I remember conversations waiting for the train at Leicester about how shit new signing Pascal Gross was. It wasn't an overreaction, he genuinely was turd and looked completely out of his depth that day.

Good. Now write it out 100 times, and if it’s not done by sunrise I’ll cut your balls off.

Seeing as you’re referring to goals, which are counted, it most definitely should be fewer.

As you still have access to WACCOE, I can thoroughly recommend reading through the Ben White thread from his first game MOTM performance through to us eventually selling him to Arse for 50m+, despite assumptions that we would be getting relegated that season and have to sell for peanuts.

The money has been pouring in over the last 3 seasons. I make it about 400m in total, and that doesn’t include the 25m we just got for Undav.

Are they? They finished just above us in a season we were decimated by injuries, had European distractions and a manager that seemed to have checked out from March onwards. And since then we’ve been spending quite a chunk of the massive transfer income we’ve been accumulating over the last 3...

If anyone can be arsed to look back at NSC in early Sept 2012, I think the general consensus was very positive. He really was turd for us though.

I thought Yee was from the wrong end of the A23?

Relative to our standing at the time (2nd season in Championship) that was actually a really exciting window where we certainly showed ambition. If memory is correct we signed: Bruno Bridge Kuszczak Crofts Orlandi Spanish Dave Hammond Jobbie Not a bad set of players at Championship level.

I think attacking players tend to be rotated far more often and used off of the bench more often than a defender - they're generally the first to be used as subs to change a game early in the second half. They also seem to be more susceptible to injury if overplayed, particularly pacey wingers.

Their fans reckon playing in the SPL and getting KO’d early in Europe trumps playing against some of the world’s best teams every week?

That is the Paralympics. It's a great event, but it's not the Olympics.

I’m not so sure that that’s true - although who knows with Trump. Campaign managers want to know whether or not campaign messages are cutting through. The last thing they’d want are sugar-coated polls giving them innacurate feedback.

Yeh, a European time zone really helps you feel you lived it properly for 2 weeks. In LA, a lot of the swimming and athletics finals will take place as between 1-4am our time 😔

Nah, a lot of those silvers have been really close to golds. They and a number of the bronzes could well be converted to gold in 4 years. The athletics has been particularly impressive.
