Project fear talking down our great country etc etc etc.

I thought the reports said that Puel wasn't interested in him. Obviously that doesn't fit the meltdown narrative. And, just checked, it's still 9th July.

It's not a mega political storm. But it throws doubt on this woman's ability to deal with the job she's applying for. Not that difficult to navigate around that line of questioning. She seems to be a bit of a serial fibber too.

In the summer of meltdown we signed Mane out of nowhere on deadline day, and also Toby the same day despite Koeman saying repeatedly we weren't after any additional defenders. We're building a Europa League squad, we'll get it done. AOC would be nice but feels unlikely.

I've read that Telegraph piece and it does not say that Redmond is our Mane replacement, it is just a sentence summary of our main business so far. It specifically says Austin is the Pelle replacement (which was very obvious to some of us in January) but does not do that with Redmond.

The Leadsom transcript is up from the journalist on Twitter and she said it. Dopey cow.

While you are absolutely right, the challenge will be on what are they actually voting on and when. If the vote is on May coming back from Brussels with - say - we're in the single market but it's going to cost us £150m a week and it's free movement - then it ain't yer Ken Clarke voting it down you've got to worry about, it's your mates IDS, Carswell, Hoey and Denis Skinner. Then what.

“I think when we go through a full season with 100 per cent occupancy then you can have those conversations,” he [Krueger] said. Not blathering on about restaurant chains or Germany or slashing prices or merchandise sales or think-of-the-children-what-can't-afford-it or speculate to accumulate or big thinking or any of the usual boll ocks that comes out. Season ticket waiting list. Full occupancy. Then it's probably a maybe. But the likelihood it we won't get to that. We make more money and generate more absolute attendance by sticking in three more guaranteed home games by qualifying for Europa. That should be the focus, not horsesh it money pit vanity projects. Anyway, I imagine all of this rubbish will be removed from this thread which I believe is here for me to point and laugh at hysterical lunatics crying about lack of signings before Wimbledon has even finished.

Mane was signed out of nowhere on deadline day at the end of meltdown summer. Barely a link before.

Well done for going through the bingo card of stadium expansion obviousness - you've not quite got to "dynamic pricing" yet, maybe mention easyjet or something. Always 100 forum gold coins for mentioning Germany though. In other news, despite what some bloke hammers into a post on a Web forum, the management of SFC are not expanding the stadium any time soon. Dey've got such a tiny sphere of knowledge ain't dey?

And Leadsom wants people to read between the lines as well. That's why she said what's she's quoted as saying. These are direct quotes there so if she's denying it then let's see what the journo has got in his notebook/tape.

Why I don't understand is why we don't produce five times more shirts than we sold last season and then sell the whole lot for a tenner each.

A big time thinking visionary brought it up.

They have considered all of that. We won't "loss leading" by spending millions and millions of pounds on seats we then need to slash prices to sell.

So it isn't "up to the next owners to invest in infrastructure", then. It's up to our current owners who have invested boatloads in infrastructure. Reading your other posts it looks like you have strolled down the usual routine of let's spend millions on stadium expansion only to slash the price of tickets. Brilliant. What a big thinker you are.

Are you saying the Leibhers haven't invested in infrastructure?

Start a new thread about it sweetheart. Oh, just one more thing - the management of the club, owned by a billionaire, seven concecutive years of growth and improvement - well they agree with me. They're obviously small time thinkers who have never considered such groundbreaking thinking as to "look how many branches of Zizzi there are these days".

Empty seats we don't need is what qualifies as big time thinking now? Well done you.

Nice to see a return for a SWF Hall of Famer. Still a very, very special guy.

Yeah, wrong thread. We don't need to do that and we won't.

West Brom and Bournemouth are our natural rivals now.

That's global capitalism, bi tch.

This thread has escalated into full on hysteria today then. Well done everyone. I, for one, am really looking forward to tomorrow. Which just happens to be the ninth of sodding July.

Having the Stoke U21 team in it isn't going to make that cup money either. If the bottom two division clubs don't want to be in it, then can it.

Denis Skinner would have done - most hard-left people who voted out would have done so for that exact reason.
