Loads of people say this but United beat us comfortably 2-0 earlier that season, with Fonte and Virgil both playing. That said, we’d all rather have him than Stephens.

What is it specifically that you want them to say?

If the Blades don’t win the playoffs, and I can’t see it not being them, then whoever does is going to get an absolute walloping next season. As bad as this season’s promoted teams have been, we (and Leeds) were in a sub-league above the likes of WBA and Norwich last year.

Probably why we’re spending a reasonable amount of time and money researching it.

I didn’t say it helped us but if he performs well in the IPL then he should more than hold his own against the likes of Middlesex and Glamorgan.

Even after the expected departures, we’ll still have one of the better Championship squads, compared to everyone else in that league. With some decent player recruitment we should be in the playoffs as a minimum, with the right man in charge.

Gaaaaah, I haven’t got to that part yet! 😡😡

The vast majority of managers in the Championship and below would want to come to Saints and manage the squad we are likely to have next season. That isn't going to be an issue.

Farke would probably do a decent enough job but I’d be curious to see if Rohl had a higher ceiling, personally. As it happens, I don’t think the former willing be sacked by Leeds, so it’s rather a moot point.

And was defeated by so-called ‘Russball’ on all three occasions when he faced it.

I’ve no idea what you even think those sentences mean.

You mean like we did in the first 14 minutes at home to Spurs?

I don't need to, I wrote it.

Why would you make up something like that? We spent over £10m each on Stewart and Charles last time, we'll clearly have the budget to bring in a handful of decent Championship players. If we sell AR, MF, THB and FD it'll be for significant money. Dibling could still fetch a decent price, even after a poor second half of the season.

I believe he's only contracted until 2026, so there seems little harm in letting him stick around to see if he might just get fit enough to score a few next year.

Jeez, it’s almost as if sacking two managers has gotten us absolutely nowhere.

Ipswich behind in the East Coast derby, looks like relegation being wrapped up today.

We did a net thing!

Perhaps we bought him from a scrap dealer for spares, so we can stick them on Ross Stewart.

I don’t hate it.

Looks like Shedeur Sanders is going to be left un drafted, if we can find a role for him.

There's always one pussy who ends up using the safety word.

Have we come back around to, "I think therefore I am," again? Good oh.

Brevis top scored for Chennai today with 42 off 25.

For a second there my brain registered that as 'Vance', I thought the last thing that situation needs is him sticking his oar in.
