TBF we did try to sign him and he turned us down.

Listened to a good Ian Hislop interview today. Essentially said "this lot aren't very good at explaining things. Politics is about bringing people with you." I think that's a good summary. It does seem like much of the wounds they have caused so far been self inflicted. Certainly their comms need work and selling proposals to the electorate.

I hope we won't want to sell him but who knows if we have agreements in place once we go down.

Perhaps not but it wouldn't surprise me if he's in demand at one of the newly promoted teams like Leeds or similar. Assume we'd at least want our money back on him. Not sure we can call bbd an Adams replacement as he's not exactly been played as a striker.

Agree I'd like another keeper but not about fullbacks. That's almost certainly stronger there than last year with Taylor. Losing KWP weakens us but that was always going to be the case. Smallbone is clearly good enough, as is Aribo and Armstrong. An older more experienced Charles and Amo Ameyew should be able to contribute and you could also add Bereton Diaz to that too. Clearly we'd make four or five more signings but as a starting point that's a fairly decent team with not an awful lot of work needed to be competitive near the top.

Hard to escape the feeling that they recruited in the summer with one eye on the following season in the championship, particularly with Edwards and Wood who never play. Whilst that messes up this season, it does give us plenty of decent championship options and as others have said, we are unlikely to see a mass exodus next season as many of the players won't be wanted by other teams that could afford them. The likes of Armstrong, Smallbone, Aribo, Bednarek, Archer and Downes if he stays are all proven championship performers and even someone like Bereton Diaz may see an upturn in a lower league.

Not sure I agree. He hasn't stuck out as particularly bad. The whole defence sucks and as someone else has pointed out a lot of that is to do with Martin.

I'd love a new keeper, not sure who would be available. Selling Ramsdale, Dibling, THB and Fernandes should net us over £100 million which in theory should let us pick up the best of the championship that isn't poached by a prem team. Sainz at Norwich would be a good pick up on the left, Maja at West Brom looks like a good performer up top.

We should have a genuinely decent Championship team, arguably better than last year if we can get a replacement for Adams and Downes if he leaves.

Bazunu/McCarthy Sugawara/Bree Edwards Bednarek Taylor/Manning Smallbone Charles Armstrong Aribo Amo Ameyew/Fraser Archer That's a decent championship team there. Add £100 million of sales of our assets and maybe a new striker and winger and we would be well set to go again.

I think he will look great in the Championship next year if we don't get rid.

Tall paul fast becoming my favourite player.

I watched it. It was quite emotional and Nadine makes an excellent point.

I'll check it out cheers.

No you haven't. There's no valid dismissal of the arguments that you've posted, you've just decided to ignore them or you haven't read them. Go and have another go. Engage with the actual arguments rather than dismissing them: https://x.com/philipmurraylaw/status/1860275371138068964?t=SJ9dbg_Lact5X16A-KAzRA&s=19 Worth noting as well that there's quite a few people who have said they are pro assisted dying but have big problems with the legislation as written and the manner that it has been put forward.

This response proves you haven't engaged with the opposing arguments in any meaningful sense.

Entirely depends what the circumstances are.

Just read the thread. There's no need to repeat what's been posted on here multiple times.

Firstly I didn't dismiss people who supported it. It's my belief that as with almost every opinion poll ever, a number of people will agree with the principle and the headline - as I do - but many of these people will not have answered considering the consequences of the decision. If the question is if you support assisted dying under certain circumstances then in that poll I would be counted as someone in favour. Secondly your characterisation of the two sides of the argument is entirely false and proves you either haven't read or simply dismissed arguments different from your own (we already know you didn't watch the documentary about it).

In my view outweighed by the consequences of doing the opposite. I still think it will pass though which will make it a sad day when it does.

And me. I completely agree with the principle in theory.

I'm not surprised at all. Quite a few will support it but I expect a rather large number have not thought through the consequences of it all.

That's a big shame, I detest that cult. Between her and Cruise they have some magic anti aging sauce. Unbelievable that she's almost 60.

Sounds like the replacement is a much better choice so this is probably a good thing?
