    I'd wanted Bielik in the past but the guy seems like a complete crock now.

    A PL club with financing arrangements with MSD Capital? Southampton, West Ham and Burnley I think have a lot of MSD financing.

    Basically hit the nail on the head, but not PL. Spezia are owned by the guy who owns MSD, so they get first dibs on any players if clubs can't pay up. Could probably take the club over as all the loans are backed against the stadiums + training grounds but Derby are such a mess that I think they'll try and avoid that one. Think that's most likely their long-term play to get an English club on the cheap, plenty of rumours that Southampton are running low on cash and think MSD would be very interested in a deal there if one could be negotiated.

    According to this (https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...h-clubs-are-turning-to-high-interest-us-loans), Southampton have a 78m loan at over 9% interest to MSD secured against St Mary's so MSD very well-placed to take over there too. I wonder if Sibley or Knight would do well in Serie A - the former seems like he might be more suited to Italian football than the PL. Bielik strikes me as their only asset who is actually PL ready but his injury record depresses his valuation significantly.

    Can you take and post a quick photo of your surrounds please ? We just need to check if it ties up with any WFC furniture/gym/medical eqpt we have on our database. Ta.

    Here is the desk I'm sitting at. That might be a new contract on the desk or a list of players we are looking at signing. I took the other photo from out of the window. I think they're discussing bra sizes

    I have a little bit of extra timber these days and a bad left knee but reckon I could do a job. Looking for a 5 year contract at aged 48 which might be an issue at some clubs but shouldn't be a problem here

    Scott Parker overheard slagging off Bournemouth as crap Town.
    Eddie Howe's wife overheard saying that Eddie is finished with management. She won't go any further north than London at a push.
    £6million a year contract at Bournemouth. He has invested in property and is a known to be a tight ass when it comes to money.

    Looking bleak for Swansea. Turned down by Eustace and Russell Martin at Mk Dons so far!

    Would have been us if we didn't get promoted.

    "Do you want to join a penniless club that has to sell everyone as quickly as possible? Oh and we expect promotion."

    I literally had no idea that the carabao cup was starting today.

    Bmuff vs MK Dons
    Sheff Weds vs Huddersfield on Sunday

    Why the heck is it starting so early this year? And why are those 4 teams playing this weekend when none of the other games are until 10/11th August?

    I looked this up yesterday as I noticed it too. Apparently the EFL gave clubs the choice to move their R1 fixtures forward to this weekend. Looks like only 4 opted for it.

    There was a period years ago when the League Cup used to start the weekend before the league season. The leagues below the PL of course begin next weekend.

    "That prompted Warnock to discuss the list he'd received from the Hornets.
    "I got a list from Watford today with seven or eight players on there," he said.
    "There were some shocks really.
    "They want the wages off now don't they, so someone will crop up." "

    "Shocks" plural - hopefully that means it was both Gray and Deeney on the list.

    However, Warnock claimed that he "is not [...] interested" in any of the players on the list. It could be though that if/when he misses out on loaning Liam Delap then he'll come in for one of them.

    Gray, Penaranda, Success and Perica all go to Boro on a loan 1 get 3 free deal.

    Penaranda has already gone on loan to Las Palmas.

    Yeah but when he hears about a chance to live in Teeside instead of The Canaries, he'll down tools.

    Down tools? Sounds like he's the canary in the coal mine.

    I think that we might need some LSD financing this year if we want to imagine staying up.

    Muff team and bench seems much weaker now than last season. Still a threat but not the same depth.

    Hopefully this is the start of their downward spiral.

    Is it just me or has the quality of Sky HD reduced dramatically? Looks almost blurry. Trying to push me to Ultra HD aren't they...

    Can't imagine the state of our squad had we not got promoted, both West Brom and Bournemouth squads look stretched.
