Weston Super Saint

I'm happy to believe it. I'm also dreading the announcement of the replacement. Surely it can't get any worse, but SR are in charge so you never know!

*Looks in phone book for 'fit Welsh girl from the valleys'...

Unless in Europe...

They 'like' 5 points from 45? Morons if so.

It's not ineptitude to give a contract to a Championship manager with a clause stating the money will go up if we get promoted. Completely the opposite and is good business sense. It would be inept to pay a PL wage to a Championship manager.

Pretty sure it was a contractual obligation having gained promotion. Not sure anyone can complain at that given the stated aim last season was to get promoted.

That's the only way he will be gone. Resign and walk away from a £12m contract. The option to sack him isn't viable because PSR innit. Not sure he's the type of person to walk away from £12m though so we're stuck with him.

Good news though, we won't be dropping any places in the league.

It's not possible to be brave playing any other way.

No. He's on loan to Goztepe.

Some people just don't have their 'technical' glasses on again.

It's all part of 'the plan'. Apparently.

Will just make it harder to pass backwards during one half.

Thay want their 3 points!

There's only a yellow warning for the Midlands - pretty much the same as our game last week. Wouldn't expect it to be called off unless there is anything major that happens on the road or train networks.

It was a toungue in cheek comment

But not because of the weather.

See! Even Chelsea fans think we went 'toe to toe'.

We've definitely got form for it.

Like being in the Prem? Maybe I'm not smart enough to understand 'the master plan', but wouldn't being in the Prem in the 27/28 season actually be worse than looking to stay in it for the 25/26 and 26/27 season? One, or most likely two more seasons in the Championship, would mean even less to spend due to PSR (innit) than we've had available this year as well as less income from TV money, parachute payments, sponsorship etc. Great that the plan is to be in the Prem in the 27/28 season, but that is likely to mean straight back down again for the 27/28 season. I assume we'll plan for that by buying Championship players for the following season in the Summer of 27 (just like we did this summer!)?

Lots of hugs on the love bus today then.

Nope. Definitely not the first!

It's only temporary - look at City, they've snapped out of it.

We're infecting the league one team at a time.
