I'm beginning to wonder if he even really cares anymore. He's more gaffe-riddled than Johnson, and Johnson choreographed weekly gaffes to stay on brand. Sunak is seemingly falling apart at the seams
More to the point, does anyone even know if he wasn't first choice? Or even if Bloom has one single 1st choice?
So much speculation on this thread that seems entirely fueled by media guff (including this link). The fact is, and it is a fact, nobody on NSC actually has access to Bloom's data...
I voted "No", however, you can never be certain. This is a huge summer, but do I see us dropping behind Leicester (point deduction, lost their manager), Everton (possibly another point deduction), Nottingham Forest (basket cases), Ipswich (kept the manager but a double promotion is a big ask to...
I felt sick throughout the whole match, but what a ride that whole season was. Amazing really, given that in the normal season we got 2 points off Swindon and Bristol City (losing heavily away in Bristol IIRC). That's why I love the play-offs, previous form means little, and that came at the...
Why? If I were at work and a claim of, say, sexual harassment (of which there's no indication here, to be clear, just an example) was brought against me and I had to be suspended, I sure as hell wouldn't want everyone knowing about it until due process was followed. I certainly wouldn't expect...
I suppose it depends on the nature of the allegation and the evidence provided, surely? If it's a "Raynor committed tax fraud" level of accusation, then as seen in that case you won't get a suspension, but if it's a severe alleged breach of code, conduct or law and there's evidence in play...
There seems top be a lot of people on this thread that have an intricate inside knowledge of a) the complaint, b) the complainant and c) the motivations of the complaint. Remarkable, given that nothing has been into the public domain.
To an earlier point, Dahoud is allegedly one of the very top earners at the club, and Fati was on £125k p/w. Igor was £17m, Bart was £16m, Baleba was ~£25, Pedro was £30m... So in all, we spent nearly £100m last summer. The £115m we got for Caicedo could easily have been eaten up by most of...
I think I agree. If we get more than our money back, then great. He's a decent defender and a pretty good ball carrier. I actually thought he had some excellent games alongside Dunk and was an able replacement for an injury-impacted and very out-of-sorts Estupinan. Worth £17m though? Probably...
Say what you like about Diane Abbott, and plenty are:
1987 48.7% of the vote and a majority of 7,678.
1992: 57.8% and an increased majority of 10,727
1997: 65.2% and an increased majority of 15,627
2001: 61% and a decreased majority of 13,651
2005: 48.6% and a decreased majority of 7,427
2010...
Given that Mike Cave is the Assistant Technical Director, and has been acting has Head of Recruitment I suspect that he'll be made permanent in that role. Perhaps GG moves into the Assistant TD role (following the same path as David Weir) and Baldock slots into the Loan Manager role?
Hierarchy...
You have to say, if McKenna stays at Ipswich and gets a £5m-a-year contract, he's played a blinder. Given the high profile exits this summer, he'll go in as a new PL manager as the 6th highest paid boss.
Whether deliberately engineered or lucky links to bigger clubs, well played, sir. That's...
