Icecream Snow

Weird to see the binners veer from one idea to another. Supposedly when they when down under Lambert it was going to be great because they'd rebuild with the youngsters playing the "Ipswich way". Then they sacked Lambert, bought Paul Cook in who hated everyone and sold off all the young players (except Woolfenden) Then they sacked Paul Cook and appointed the former Man United U-18s coach. After selling off all the young players.

You would have expected a former journalist to understand how newspapers work

ouch

This is dire to watch, Ipswich are the slightly less terrible side, but that's not saying much.

So Rashica, Idah, Tzolis are unavailable and we're starting with Placheta and Sargent with Dowell and Cantwell on the bench. Cantwell seems way down the pecking order.

They don't have that luxury though, and with the state of the NHS, whilst they're doing their best, no guarantees there would be a positive outcome. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/vegan-covid-vaccine-animal-testing-b1966647.html Glynn Steel “begged for the vaccine,” his wife Emma Steel said, before he was shifted to life support. But by then it was too late for the vaccine to be effective on him, she said. “The last thing Glynn (Steel) said to me was ‘I have never felt so ill, I wish that I had the vaccine’,” Ms Steel, who is double-vaccinated, told The Sun. Steel had decided to skip inoculation, claiming that the vaccine was being tested on animals. But things took a turn for the worse late last month after the 54-year-old man came down with a cold, and eventually tested positive for Covid-19. Steel’s condition grew worse within days due to his age and zero vaccine immunity. Ms Steel had to call for an ambulance on 2 November but none was available. She ended up having to drive him to the hospital. At that point, Steel was unconscious. By November 10, Steel had slipped into a medically-induced coma after being put on life-support. He was barely making any progress while fighting the infection. On 16 November, he died within minutes of the life-support machine being turned off, the report added.

Boris "We have followed the rules throughout" Me screaming at the TV "YOU MADE THE F**KING RULES! HOW TH F**K DO YOU NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE!"

The joy of watching Boris getting beaten up by the BBC and ITV..... but watching blather and dodge the question

Should have known that a Boris press conference never starts on time

Doubt it with Lampard, unless the owners are going to offer him a huge budget, and even then. He got offered the job by Ipswich before he went to Derby, and turned it down because they hadn't got any money, and that was when they were in the Championship. https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/11648687/frank-lampard-ipswich-chelsea-harry-redknapp

Fine incoming?

It's not a good sign when even Ant and Dec are going after Boris 😀

Several threads calling for Cook to return 😂

Liam Rosenoir has been working at Derby for the last 12 months so I'm wondering if you mean Jobi McAnuff?

I'm going to be optimistic and predict that Man United will only win 3473-0 😛

I was expecting you to say "Todd Cantwell didn't play" 😛

I think people forget he's only 20.

Spurs 4 Norwich 0 Two each for Kane and Son

The best line is "Inherits a mentally weak squad of wasters and then buys another 19 of them."

Realistically though I can't see this being resolved quickly. The administrators would obviously like it to be, as they're having to borrow money to keep the club afloat, but I'd imagine the creditors would want to string it out to January and force the administrators to sell players in the January window to raise some funds. But as I posted earlier, the club doesn't have many playing assets, with only seven players being in contract past 2022. Bielik's had two major injuries in the last two years, so his contract looks like a massive liability. Tom Lawrence and Graeme Shinnie are out of contract in the summer, so only real assets are the talented youngsters like Max Bird, Louie Sibley, Jason Knight and Liam Thompson and the Polish international Jozwiak . Their best case is that somehow the debtors miraculously agree to only taking 25%, but with the footballing creditors needing to be paid in full (and ) it's still a debt of £22+m that needs to be paid,, with questions around the ownership ground and the remaining playing squad. Wigan took months to be sold (think it was around eight months in the end July 2020 - Mar 2021) and they were arguably in a better financial position as they at least owned their own ground.

5-2 win 😀 https://www.canaries.co.uk/content/report-v-reading-u18s

Looking a bit bleak for Derby I'm afraid. Looking at their contract situation, any potential buyer would be wondering exactly what they'd be getting 2024 2023 2022

Apparently the debts are £26m to HMRC, £20m to MSD Holdings and £15m to football and trade creditors. Rangers bounced back so I can see Derby being liquidated and kicked out of the league.

A guy in my team has a cousin who plays for Peterborough United.

I had to switch it off, but St Paul's performance was a mixture of Michael Theoklitos and Ali Dia, who convinced Graeme Souness to give him a game after claiming he was Goerge Weah's cousin.
