There were about a dozen people in our squad photo with the word "performance" in their job title. Like a barbecue rfround Jake Humphrey's gaff. And the physical aspects of our squad - sport science, injuries, injury recovery, relapses, soft tissue and muscle strains - have been fcking atrocious all season. |

From the recruitment operation that spent £3m+ and a 5 year contract on Nicholas Madsen comes… a glorious new manager. |

Revisit this in a year’s time.
If you keep changing manager and this keeps happening the manager isn’t your problem. |

I have a wisdom tooth that is currently trying to escape my head north through my brain.
I am on my way to Stoke.
If you add a QPR loss to that then ppl should not expect to find their accounts still active tomorrow if this fcking insufferable horsesht continues. |

As it is this weekend we're about to go to Stoke with Michi Frey up front followed by Alfie Lloyd tearing about for the last 20 minutes once we're two goals down, so I'm not sure we can be particularly sniffy about Charlie Kelman! |

Somebody has just Tweeted me saying under the deal they only have to give three weeks' notice for the penultimate round. |

The problem is, unless they all do it, you’d immediately put yourself at a massive disadvantage. The two clubs in the Champ who gave stuck to only spending what they earn are Plymouth and Rotherham. Explanation from the Plymouth chairman here…

If we operated on a break even budget here we’d be relegated. Look at what happened last season when we had to reduce our loss to “ONLY” £13m.
It’s a sick sport really, in both senses of the word. What spending rules they do have are constantly dodged to one extent or another - sale and lease back of stadiums at Derby, Villa, Stoke, sale of hotels at Chelsea, questionable sponsorship work arounds at QPR, Stoke, Man City.
If you got all the clubs in a division to agree to break even spending there will always be one who says “ah well if we push the boat out now we’ll have an advantage”.
The rules atm basically seem to me to hammer clubs like us and Forest the most - mega rich owners who want to spend to elevate their club but are prevented from doing so. It protects a little group at the top who got in before the rules, often (city, Chelsea) by doing exactly that themselves.
I’d take the handbrake off and say you spend what you like but you personally are responsible for the debt and the wage bill, the debt is yours as an individual not the club’s. |

We’ve never once been told what was up with Varane in the first instance. He just vanished. |
