Bare in mind parachute payments are 45% in the second season compared to 55% in the first season. So whilst 10% difference is a significant amount of money, we won’t be in too much trouble in the second season as long as enough expensive players are off the books by then. Not like we go from minted to skint instantly.

Obi Wan… Alex Guinness… Guinness… Ireland… Dublin… Bazunu Would be a miracle if Bazunu became more powerful than we could imagine

Sheffield United or Sunderland, got to get my fix of red and white stripes getting battered every week.

Hope he can kick on next year without injury. Has looked pretty handy every time I’ve seen him.

Rather be decisive and appoint quickly even if it means telling Rohl “sorry but we can’t wait for your decision”. In regards to the potential Bundesliga jobs, could be weeks before those positions are shortlisted. SR have a history of dawdling and missing out on an appointment long summer of recruitment ahead, need to start shaping the team to the manager soon

Most defeats in a season loading... (Losing to Arsenal will make it 30)

0 shots after 55 minutes. The club needs a mentality reset from top to bottom. I have never known a team so weak.

Time to switch off

Can we terminate the entire defense's contracts?

Just absolutely zero effort whatsoever.

Hopped on the dodgy stream and first thing I see is an ad for adult diapers. Suppose that sets the tone for this match especially with that line-up.

Still is returning to England because his partner Emma Saunders' condition is worsening, supposedly. Thyroid cancer. I suppose he'll have a job here to go to though. https://rmcsport.bfmtv.com/football/clubs/rc-lens/will-still-quitte-le-rc-lens-en-raison-des-problemes-de-sante-de-sa-compagne_AN-202505170414.html

Subbing on Echeverri for his debut in an FA cup final was borderline disrespectful. He has been found out and they may well keep struggling next season.

Forest playing against Dinamo Minsk and Sarajevo in the Conference League next season then...

That's absolutely brilliant, very pleased for them

Bosh!

Palace playing very dangerously, that penalty will build momentum for City. ...Is what I would have said if it went in.

Palace can thank me for that. Great goal.

Man City making Palace look like a Championship team.

Rose would be the kind of appointment we could make if we had managed to stay up this season. Don't expect him to be interested whilst we're in the second division.

If Dibling's early-season form persisted he would be worth about that.

Seems like there's a 100m bid from the Denver Broncos owners according to their forum. Wouldn't be surprised to see Rohl stay in that case. Might be a bit awkward though... bit like saying goodbye to a mate and then you end up walking the same way anyway.

It's very funny (and somewhat endearing) when it's not your team. He's a good coach at that level nonetheless.

Funnily enough, the odds for him to be West Brom's next manager have just been slashed...

I went with Fernandes, never short of effort and passion, a bright spark in a miserable season. Hope he ends up somewhere where he can flourish next season.
