Fair analysis and pretty much how I feel. My only concern about Rohl is how he'll operate in a club where the pressure is really on with what will be a massive budget compared to Wednesday, personally I think Cooper will be more suited with the experience he has and ultimately he is a 'safer' option going forward.

That was down to wages, from what I understand Ipswich trumped us by a significant amount too! Obviously they wanted to sail close to the PSR wind this season...

I can't see Rosenior leaving if they qualify for Europe, if they miss out then there's a slight chance. Leicester is going to be an interesting watch next season, what the hell happens there! Does RvN stay or do they part ways? The accounts for last season were pretty awful..

Reading some of the Wednesday boards, it seems like Rohl made some gestures over the weekend to suggest he's off.....they even believe we've paid for his services already so that the players wage bill was finally squared away.

I'm still slightly unconvinced by Rohl, for me I wouldn't mind Cooper or even Rosenior.

I agree and certainly there will be a superleague within the next 10-15 years. I'm not going to have a huge pop at the yanks, despite the media frenzy what is happening at Wrexham is a good thing and US owners at Birmingham & Orient aren't trying to destroy the clubs but quite the opposite.

The thing is the club is too big to be 'fan owned'. I'm close to someone involved with Exeter City, and the club operates on a real shoestring with player sales ensuring the club can keep going, for saints it would mean minimal signings and probably a life bumbling around the bottom half of the championship if not league one.

U ok hun?

A former colleague is an AZ fan. His words when we signed him were 'great lad, good getting forward but cannot defend at all. Not Premier League standard'

Maybe, but I still think someone like Blackburn with sod all investment would still manage to get more than 9 points. There is a mentality problem with this lot, there is no energy and they just can't be arsed.

'If' they get there, like the psychological damage of us becoming the ultimate top flight bin juice. Leeds have a knack of ballsing things up.

Cannot wait! Once it's done and dusted we can finally 100% focus on next year.

About right. My better half is an Exeter fan so I pop down a few times a season, he looked a little lost in the few games I watched.

He was on the original SR hit list back in 2022, Jones has been and gone, Juric is stinking the place out now...third time lucky with Cooper!?

He's certainly talented but he's realistically two to three years away from the 1st team. We signed Joe O'Brien-Whitmarsh last season from the Irish leagues too, he was similar having played for Cork at a young age and is playing reasonably well at Accrington currently...

Can Steve De Ridder's dad get a shout? He's done a fair bit for the club charities in the past..

I said recently he has a relatively easy job. We have the chance to move Juric on and appoint someone who works well with Spors, he'll most probably know what budget we'll have way before the end of the season due to the early relegation and will probably have agents already telling him that players wish to leave.

I have ADHD and I have to admit since moving away from medication and investing in diet, exercise and making sure I have certain vitamins it's been reasonably under control. I'm never going to go down the RFK JR route and basically claim a bit of Vitamin A stops Measles but certainly eating right and getting good levels of Vitamin D, Zinc, Magnesium, B12 etc can go a long way...

Carrying jet fuel for the US military, so the shadow fleet then!

I'd let Ballard go personally. I've watched him a few times in League One and he looks miles off it, certainly not good enough for the Championship and probably League Two at best.

Seeming though there is currently an oil tanker on fire in the north sea, I wouldn't be surprised if this is the latest shadow fleet disaster..

Being denied by the White House Press Sec, which means it's probably true..

He knows the Russian economy isn't as rosy as Putin likes to make out, especially now you have the domestic banks refusing to take on more debt. Ukraine will still receive ammunition even from the US, it's the donation of arms or that through Lendlease which has been stopped. Ukraine does have signed defence contracts with the US which gives it the right to purchase weaponry.

To an extent. I think the hostility on the US part is to force Europe into heavier defence spending, which they've managed to do so far..

Is there an issue commuting from London though? I remember Jonas Olsson and Cisse living in London and driving to Birmingham every day when they played for West Brom.
