This isn't the case, due to the ground effect. A plane can have enough power and lift to get off the ground initially, but then stall once the ground effect is reduced. There's an insightful comment from an experienced airline pilot about this in the Reddit thread shared by skintsaint earlier... https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/1l9no7u/comment/mxf2uk2/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Yep. He said there was a loud noise and they started to drop. Suggests some kind of mechanical failure. But the fact that they used every last inch of the runway suggests other factors prior to that. Seems that the safe go/no go point had been crossed and it was too late to abort the takeoff. Pilot maybe figured there was a slim chance of avoiding a disaster if he could get airborne, but zero chance if he tried to abort. But the investigation will reveal more I guess.

So obviously both Donald and Elon know he is named in those files. Grab your popcorn folks. This is gonna be entertaining.

Your entire posting history on the subject shows conclusively that you don't.

No. There are numerous possible reasons for that which I'm not going to speculate on. But that doesn't negate the fact that he's clearly a better player than his limited performances in the Championship last season suggest, and could have been a useful part of our attack in the season just gone if utilised correctly. Do you agree with that? Or are you just going to do your usual thing of adopting a contrarian view just for the sake of it?

Wow. In all my years of posting on this forum and its predecessors, I don't think I've ever encountered such a blatant and, frankly, ridiculous straw man argument as this one.

He was poor in the Championship because he was shackled by RM's dogmatic possession first philosophy, and was under instruction to play in such a way that doesn't suit his strengths. On the few occasions he was able to express himself, he showed more ability on the ball than anyone else in the squad. He absolutely would have improved our attack last season if he'd have stayed and been given a bit of freedom to run at players and take risks in the opposition third, but with RM in charge that was never on the table.

Sadly that says more about the rest of the squad than it does about him. He's still a massive liability defensively.

Yeah it was Mansfield. I went to that game, and the lineup was essentially most of the U21s plus Neil McCann. It's no surprise we lost.

Steady on Trousers old chap. We don't want to actively discourage him from staying, do we?
