Gloucester Saint

Let’s hope CEX isn’t on the beach this summer.

Won’t be very long list as most of the contracts expire either next year or 2027.

Your last sentence is a big missing piece of the jigsaw. I’d be surprised if the roads around the parade weren’t closed bar the team bus and emergency services, so I’m trying to get my around why the vehicle is even there.

🤞

Nobody else bar Brum or Ipswich could match what he’s on anyway even with the relegation cut. Not that he’d be on my move on list anyway.

Mentions of Daren Powell. Shudders. The only centre back to be made entirely from glass. Not the non-shatter variety.

Yep, a laughing emoji. What more can you add? The bloke (ESN) needs professional help.

I don’t give a toss who the suspect is, my heart just goes out to everyone impacted and the poor bystanders who will never unsee that, however much counselling they receive. You weren’t even mentioned, and in fact it was another poster who mentioned Southport.

It’ll still require large levels of subsidisation though in wages and lost bonuses etc as outside of the PL, not many other leagues including the one we are back in can afford to match what these flops are on.

If he’s watched the video Whelk posted, he will pack it in with the laughing emojis. Go on @east-stand-nic watch it and dare you to laugh at it. I’ve seen some horrific things in a previous career but that is far, far worse still.

A few described as ‘very, very ill’ by the Mayor. Fingers crossed for them.

The footage via BBC is further forward from this clip but seems to continue the pattern of driver behaviour https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cn5xnlkegz0t Reports of the car beeping and driving at up to 20mph through the crowds of people. Horrific. Why drive a car through the city centre in the first place when you know the parade is happening and then seemingly get annoyed? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ce8209lzzp4o

PSR is pure nonsense. Almost getting to the stage with the newly promoted clubs needing a golf style handicap in August in the first season.

Chris Philp is the emptiest of empty vessels. Once that ERG took over their party they destroyed it beyond repair.

Onachu will be around £7-9m, those figures have been widely reported from Turkey especially if more than one of their major clubs want him. Sulemana £10m probably at the top end but two years to go, not one of the very top earners, possible. Fernandes price will depend on who the market is. An ECL-qualifying club could drop £40m on him.

Scored some vital goals as well. He has ability but the lack of off the ball presence and professional sense eg take a yellow yesterday and stop Odegaard is something you can’t contemplate in a central two. If Still isn’t going to mainly use a central three, Smallbone’s options will be very limited.

Some release fees like Bednarek’s though. Aribo and Onachu we know there’s interest from Turkey and only a year left. Martin may want AA, Downes, maybe Manning. Interest in Archer as well. It’s the likes of BBD that will be more difficult to shift.

I remember when Wimbledon were first promoted to the First Division and visited the Dell, the Milton were expressing surprise that they were signing autographs ‘look, they can write!’. Bit like that with Reform today.

Leeds written all over it, might not even have to move house either.

His love glue seems to plenty of swimmers.

Putin’s like he always was https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cvgpj038elyt

Their owner definitely would if his recent outburst at Nuno was anything to go by.

Meanwhile, Reform on Worcs CC not keen on scrutiny. Clearly been learning from the MAGA HQ over the pond.

It might be more difficult to play the PL and EFL off against each other this time, but I share @S-Clarke’s pessimism at their track-record.

Essential to be well organised for the first window, which the club hasn’t been in recent years, and if Ramsdale and Fernandes are sold early that should give more muscle to pay what’s needed for core incomings. THB will be a protracted move, can’t see that happening until the second.
