I'm not sure you were the strongest Whelk. Duck, in particular, has/had this belief that the Israelis are a peaceful lot, and that all would be well if their neighbours were more tolerant of them. Hypo got upset when I, rightly, described him as naive on the issue. On the wider issue, we've not yet seen the tip of the iceberg.

Indeed. A properly horrible thing to do.

33, grab yourself a jumper Del. 27 this time of evening here. Bliss.

Yep, it's ridiculous that we sold off our utilities. It was obvious to anyone with half a brain that private enterprises wouldn't provide necessary infrastructure upgrades which don't provide a ROI. Mental.

I'm in the Vendée. 39c yesterday, 37c today, no breeze, incredibly dry everywhere - the driest I've ever seen it here. It's bloody lovely.

I'd hope so, but if we do I think it'll be a free or loan.

I'm assuming Matsuki gets that gig, or Azaz drops deeper with Matsuki or Dobbin ahead.

Nice. Good bit of business is that.

They deserve more than a tough few years. More to the point, it's astonishing that they haven't picked up the full bill for the post office fallout, and that the government has an ongoing relationship with them.

I think you're trying to rewrite this mate.

Yep, we found it, now we've recouped it. I'd like to see us spend, but given the £99m we owed in transfer fees, we don't have spare cash for transfer fees. We now need to sell to buy, or Dragan needs to put cash in.

"The money"? We need to balance the books - this money isn't for transfers.

I'd like some experienced players on short term deals...good enough to give us a go at promotion, help us in season 1 if we make it (even as squad players), but not be stuck with them for too long if we make it.

I mentioned this a while back. I'd have him back in a heartbeat.
