I thought it was just me who doesn't understand the fuss about this lad. Not skillful enough to be a winger, not good enough with the ball to be a PL 10, and doesn't have the runs or finishing of a PL striker.

He showed promise early on. After that we stopped playing to his strengths - he needed balls into space but he wasn't getting that and he became ineffective, his confidence went and that was that. All of that, and reading that he's unsettled and that Ralph doesn't get on with him suggests that his time here is up. Whether he'd have cut it at this level I'm not convinced, but we've hardly helped the lad.

He had threats of bankruptcy to deal with, he lost players, he couldn't sign, had concerns over players not getting paid, had one points deduction then another. It was an impossible situation and at one point at looked like he'd keep them up. He did well on any assesment - I don't get how you can't see that.

I think Everton is highly likely. He did brilliant last year. He's a very good manager in the making imo.

Yep, my thoughts. He'll get a bit of time, although if the end if season form continues, they may press the button a bit earlier.

Oh come on, that's a daft comment. Sam's surgery wasn't a success, and he got a serious infection. For every Sam Mcqueen there's many, many successful ACL recoveries.

We can't afford 3 x £25m players, but we need them. Selling JWP makes that possible. That's not a lack of ambition, it's recognising the reality of where we are.

If he wants out, yep, but as long as we're ploughing all the cash back into 2 or 3 proper players. We'll miss him, but we need strengthening in other areas.

Sounds like good riddance then. Even if the party and a number of ministers turn on Boris, I reckon he'll cling on. No obvious mechanism now for getting rid of the idiot now. The real coward here is Boris hiding in Rwanda during the aftermath.

The letter was clear. He's had enough, and that he recognises that the party are on the slide. Resigning immediately has more impact than delaying it imo. Hopefully others follow. It shows the idiocy of having the confidence vote when they did though, should have waited until after this.

Ours went from £82 to £170. Month to month meter readings last month was £105. 3 people in the house. No heatingbon, no tumble dryer, general light use.

I'll take that bet

Speak for yourself mate...I don't have bad days that last month's on end.

That's about right for me...he shift's from 9 on a good day, to 1 on other days, so he averages about 5.

A back 3 with some experience alongside the young guns (preferably the centre man) would be a decent shout, but I just can't see Ralph giving up on a back 4 as his preference.

Seems likely, he's got some value so probably time to cash in.

We agree! I think he's here to play from the start.

Nor am I, but I can't see anyone buying him, and I doubt Stephens will be sold as he's just signed a new deal. There's no room for all the CB's.
