  1. Leeds seems to be in a weird situation, primarily because there appears to be a relegation clause in most of Orta's foreign signings that if another club funds their wages in full, they can go there on loan. So Leeds already have four players out on loan, with a fifth soon to join them.
  2. Sarr moving to Marseille from Watford according to the Athletic, which is good for us.
  3. I watched him a few times when Plymouth played on Sky last season. Defensively he was very suspect, and definitely not a full back even at League One level. Especially as he's 5 ft 6. I expect he'll have a decent lower Championship career as an attacking midfielder though. Has a good shot on him.
  4. It would depend on his employment contract, but especially after the Adrian Mutu affair, any decent lawyer would have a clause that would allow the club to terminate the contract if the player was unable to play due to off-field misconduct. The question is if the club would enforce it or not. Troy Deeney was convicted of affray whilst at Watford, and Ivan Toney was suspended for betting breaches, but neither were sacked. But both of them were key players, rather than a fringe squad member. Chelsea sacked Bosnich and Mutu for failing drugs tests, and then sued Mutu to reclaim his transfer fee.
  5. I thought this is what he was going for
  6. The Leeds links sound unlikely if Victor Orta was sacked in May, and Webber handed his notice in March.
  7. I've posted this before, but it highlights that despite Leicester's success, it hadn't translated into off-field revenue.
  8. Winks' injury history - seems like a long history of ankle problems.
  9. Webber said. "I'm super confident in the next week we'll be announcing our second new signing" Any guesses who? The speed implies it's a free agent
  10. The whole thing I thought it was great because it brought a completely new fanbase to the stadium to see what this business offers. There are plans to maybe have two games here next year. But we also have to remember it’s like a new club being formed and it costs a lot of money to put a game on here. We have to keep the demand because it doesn’t work if we have 1,500 people (at Carrow Road). That’s not good for the pitch to be used. Flo Allen (general manager) has done some incredible work and she’s a real rising star. It’s like taking a Sunday League team and trying to make them a Premier League team. It’s a really slow journey. Just because they’ve got our badge, you can’t compare. That game (against Ashford Town in the domestic fourth tier), we can say it was exciting but if we want to talk about quality, it was really poor. That’s not being unfair, it’s just factually correct. We’ve got to organically build it. We don’t want to go too fast then people get turned off, just to try to win a popularity contest on Twitter. That was the first women’s game I’ve been to, because it’s not an interest to me. I don’t mind admitting that. I love working with Flo and helping her, but that’s because it’s Flo. Women’s football, I do not watch it. It’s of zero interest to me in terms of on the telly because I watch enough men’s football and if I’m not watching that, I want to watch other sports. It’s a choice, which I think should be OK. We’re not going to get Carrow Road full for the women’s team with 40-to-60-year-old drunk men. It’s about recognising that and going after who it is for. My son loved it — the atmosphere, music being on during the game — but that’s not for everyone; I wouldn’t want to watch a Premier League game and there’s music playing during a throw-in. For the girls, it was amazing. They were living their dream. They aren’t professionals. They were maybe working in the police that morning, and then running out like a hero to that crowd. Those are pictures and memories they’ll take to their grave.
  11. More from the Atlethic How much did Timm cost? £10million. Signings like Christos Tzolis, Josh Sargent and Milot Rashica were all between £8million and £9million… They’re all under (£10million). Yes, but not by much…
  12. I'm listening to this after the Radio Norfolk interview, and there's a lot of overlap in Webber's answers.
  13. More from the article “The one in January actually wasn’t right for us and probably wasn’t quite right for him as well at that time when I spoke to him and about him. It was a foreign club. “If we start here on September 1 with Andrew, I’d be very surprised and very happy.”
  14. Lambert's first Premiership season when us, QPR and Swansea stayed up, and Bolton, Blackburn and Wolves went down.
  15. I'm hoping Maddison won't rue that penalty miss, would have killed the game off.
