Given the apparent friendship between Jim White and Solak, this should be an easy one to clear up. Solak does an interview on TalkSport to clarify his position.

Go for it, guaranteed goals which I gather is something you've not had much of recently. Not necessarily goals at the right end but still worth a go.

That's one hell of a non-prediction, I'd love to see what happens when you're certain of something.

Thought I’d have a look at the QPR V Burnley game to see how Edwards is getting on. Half time and QPR are 3 nil down but Edwards has done ok. He might have reacted quicker for the second goal but it wasn’t his man to pick up. Seems to have decent awareness and anticipation and cleared off the line on one occasion. Shown enough to indicate he’s relatively press resistant and comfortable in possession but hasn’t been adventurous in his passing or stepped into midfield. edit: subbed on 79 minutes. QPR went to 3 at the back and it didn’t suit Edwards as well, showed a lack of mobility a bit and picked up a yellow card

Clearly you have faith in ChatGPT......

Descartes was wrong on this one, you can only deduce evidence of a thought rather than your own existence. Unless you have faith in your own existence……?

I dunno, I know several people who have done road trips across the US without booking up the entirety of their stay. My parents have done it quite a few times and on one occasion didn't even have their first night booked anywhere when they landed.

Are you suggesting we would deny him entry?

Clearly and obviously abandoned the idea that the threat of arming Ukraine to the teeth would force Putin to the negotiating table.

Who would you want as manager though?

1. Serves you right for buying a bagel. That’s right up there with pretentious coffee that takes an age to make. 2. Why are you paying in dollars?

Presume they'll be removing that irksome "Land of the free" line from the national anthem?

Shouldn't this be in the "small things that annoy you" thread?

Yeah, I'd take that. He's probably capable of scoring goals for us next season but personally I've been really disappointed with him. Another who apparently is better out wide but has no way of getting past a player, no tricks and no pace. Squad needs a shake up and I'd like to see us with some fresh options up front. A decent striker makes such a difference so take the money and give the new manager a chance to bring his own choice in.

Meh, he can probably be decent for us next season but wouldn't be gutted if he leaves either. The main problem is he doesn't fit into a pressing style and can't play centrally. Suspect his wages would price him out of any move except to maybe Leicester or Ipswich so chances are whoever comes in will have to work with him anyway.

I brought this up with an American who admitted it was a stupid phrase

Think it’s more a case of whether Liepzig are interested or not rather than if Rohl is more concerned with English football. If he was offered a choice then no way is he choosing us.

Probably wages, I doubt he had much of a preference over either us or Ipswich.

Yep, almost certainly renewing my ST and actually looking forward to next season. Championship is a great division and much more fun.

This is the problem. It's all very well wanting a complete overhaul but you've got to get other clubs to want to buy them at prices that don't leave us with a massive loss. I'm not averse to keeping Downes but if he's surplus then who on earth is going to pay anywhere near what we paid? Same with Archer and Armstrong (although you can argue we no longer need to recoup what we paid for Armstrong). I guess there's still a fair few we won't need to get much money for and getting them off the wage bill will be beneficial. KWP is already off but Aribo, Taylor, Stephens, Bednarek, Bree, ABK, Smallbone and Manning could all leave for fairly small amounts and not hit us in the pocket too much. Probably unrealistic to expect an almost complete overhaul but hopefully we get a pretty decent turnover.

If Rusk turns this team around then he'd be playing Ramsdale as a lone striker. That's just silly.

Fairly ambivalent about who the new manager is but I would like them to be more pragmatic than an ideologue. Someone who looks at the best players available to them and finds a way to get the best out of them, someone who looks at the opposition and figures out the best way to beat them rather than being a slave to any particular style. Long ball, short ball, possession, counter attacking - don't give a shit, just win. I actually think the more important component next season will be what the squad looks like. The manager has an impact but ultimately it'll be more about the quality of the players than the manager.

Whoever it is better be good because we've probably got them until the next time we play Spurs.

I presume Trump’s plan is to negotiate or renegotiate trade deals with blocs and countries as there’s no way keeping the tariffs as they are will work. I did listen to Will Hutton talking about the UK assisting Canada in a closer trade deal with the EU and then piggybacking on it for the UK. Trading bloc expands to Australia, New Zealand, India and other commonwealth countries. Not sure I can see that happening but would piss Trump off if it did.

Archer for me given that he cost the most money and is probably the signing that will hurt the club finances the most.
