Saint Mikey

Think it was Jack Stacey? He is still there and looks like he alternates with another RB, but has mostly been first choice. Started on Sat and the last few.

This has been in the National League for a few years. How has it unfolded? Any teams finishing 7th or 8th getting to final or promoted?

I thought that was all Scots?

Has Archer been on the pitch much with Azaz? He’s a striker who likes to play on the shoulder, you’d think Finn should be able to find him.

Insurance. In case his move doesn't happen.

Just realised that the window 'slams shut' on Monday, 2nd February at 7pm. Plenty of time for some underwhelming additions and exits.

These are utter guesswork. There's no way Aribo is on £70k in the Champ. Maybe in the Prem but not after the relegation clause. THB on £7.5k a week? A £20m player gets paid significantly more than that even after a relegation clause. Charles would have been on more than £10k a week at City before we signed him. Why would Edwards have been on double the amount Wood? Similar fees, U21 apps etc. Many more examples in there...

For me, it's more about expectations. In the whole time I've supported the club, there have only been a handful of times that have been 'enjoyable'. I was too young to truly appreciate the Lawrie McMenemy years, but these are those moments: - That attacking Chris Nicholl team, 4-2-4, finishing 7th in 89/90. - Strachan's team, Cup Final and 8th. - Rise up the leagues from League 1 and Championship all the way through to Poch and Koeman. - Some bits of Ralph's stint. That's it in c.40 years. That bit in the middle was an anomaly really, it's mostly been shit supporting us.

We've got such a huge squad. We've left out: Romeu, Fraser, Aribo, Edwards. Plus injured: Stewart, Roerslev, Downs, Charles, Edozie.

I'm sorry, but there is no way he was on this. I knew someone who did some Saints players' mortgages and Ollie Lancashire and others were on about £1-£2k a week at that time. He was more likely in that bracket given his level of experience and the fact it was 2008. He also signed a 5 year contract (!) which, whilst mental - would have reduced his weekly wage but had more years than usual. We did a few contracts like that around that time. Paul Wotton was given a similar structured deal, less wages, more years. Don't get me wrong, it was good money for him at the time and a utter waste for us. But, he wasn't on anything like £15k a week.

I've looked back at my records (yes, I'm incredibly anal!) and it doesn't look like we were additionally charged for the bus trip. Ticket was £27!!! I only had a handful of aways and got a ticket, so people obviously couldn't be bothered with it then either.

This is taking the piss.

How many of these were sales of players that were already here when SR rocked up? JWP, Tella, Tino, Salisu, Romeu, Dibling count in that bracket - so that's £120/£130m you can chalk off. On actual players that they have bought and then sold, we must be massively down. Shit on and off the pitch in all honesty.

People keep saying this. But if this is the case, then they are doing a fucking bad job at it. We must be massively down on transfer income in, compared to out.
