    Wagners either delusional or being dishonest. I’d have more respect if he came out and admitted how terrible we were. Apart from maybe Gunn everyone was off it. We were so lethargic, weak and second best in all departments. A special mention to Stacey and McCallum though. I’ve never seen opposition wingers have so much time and space. Utterly clueless defensively when up against decent players. Here’s hoping for an improved performance Saturday.

    Regarding Hanley. Those serious Achilles injuries often result in the player never being the same player again. Especially effecting pace and mobility. 
    Gibsons wages are massive and there’s no way he stays in my opinion. 
    Adegboyaga potentially looks the best of the lot. I assume most will be loaned again next season with one retained to be around the first team.

    Idah wants to leave due to not being a regular starter. He’s on a huge lengthy contract. Knapper needs to generate funds and getting him off the books is a good move. Vanhooijdonk has hardly played in Italy but his record is good in Holland. His attributes seem to fit perfectly and is a definite upgrade on barnes. If it doesn’t work out we don’t have to buy him. What’s not to like 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Summary:

    1. Down to six to replace Webber
    2. "Excited" about the prospect of not working with Stuart, believes will be "good for the family". 
    3. Apprehension about Webber moving on. But the calibre of applicants for the job has been surprising. ZW says she has clocked some of the names and thought, "Wow, you're interested in the job?".
    4. Some really interesting (or at least I thought!) insight into the relationship between Zoe and Stuart and how they operate and support one another.
    5. No immediate plans to move on from Norwich. 
    6. Believes there is "a lot to do" and highlights stadium development as something she wants to oversee. When pressed, says City Stand needs development - changing rooms need development, more capacity in the stand. Mentioned moving of away end, safe standing, safe standing in away end. Working with architects (called legends? Not sure) on how to do it without displacing season ticket holders. Says it is costs prohibited at the moment due to costs of things. 
    7. Wants safe standing, better supporter facilities, better hospitality. Says will take a lot of years. 
    8. Discussion on Zoe's mental health and how she has dealt with times that have been hard on her. 
    9. A really good overview on her achievements in football. Was quite influential in the Malaysian Premier League tours some years ago. 

    Yeah a decent interview, worthy of your time. 

    Thanks. Was there any mention of Attanasio?

    There’s a good booklet about peoples stories of playing fm/Champ manager. Some of them are quite funny. There was a guy playing against galatasaray in Europe so he set fire to some paper to simulate the smoke whilst he played. Also grown men putting on their best suit when they reached the fa cup final and having a bottle of champagne on the side for if they won. 😂. 
    I used to love the old champ manager days. It got a bit too complicated for me in later versions.

    Gone after 12 games sitting proudly in 17th position. 😁.
    Unless sainz turns out to be a world beater I just think we’ll struggle to create again. Also he seems happy not to play a proper defensive midfielder. The amount of goals we conceded where the opposition midfield had a clear run through was criminal. 
    I don’t like how he sets up. We end up with a midfielder dropped into defense, fullbacks pushed up and end up with a weird circle formation with a huge gap in the middle. I just can’t see what he’s trying to do. We’re so easy to play against. Any mobile organised side we faced last year we were completely nullified.

    How do the add ons work for us in a deal like this. Say there’s 10 million worth of add ons do we get our % when Leicester receive theirs ?

    That’s what I wondered. If there is, for example, an extra million when he scores 15 goals do we then get a percentage of that also once it’s a achieved?

    The PIF that owns Newcastle took control of 4 teams in the Saudi Pro League last month, they also have an interest in the group that owns Chelsea.

    Yesterday several high earners at Chelsea were given contracts to play in Saudi.

    After what they see as a victory in the struggle to control golf the Saudi's are turning their intentions on football.

    It wouldn't surprise me at all if there are calls for UEFA to be expanded to include teams in the Middle East, can't see UEFA putting up much of a fight when Saudi millions are put on the table.

    It was reported last week that the next part of their plan is a World Cup bid, now that the mould has been broken by Qatar, they are expecting it to be successful.

    This is only the start.

    Very suss regarding Chelsea. Looks like it’s being used to allow Chelsea to get around ffp rules.
