Love it. My best to Glad. I'd love to get the forum working right, but like other things, well beyond my capabilities. Still, Glad can make us a strong brew while we wait.

Fair enough, happy to be corrected! 🙂 So, by "another form" are you saying the form was filed incorrectly by the club (again)?

I think you are probably right - there is a little bit of truth that we are following the Chelsea model, but I think essentially only if the players we have brought through the academy aren't quite right for us. Certainly my sense is that we retain some young guys for quite a long time after what would normally have been quite a harsh age cut-off. I think there is a gap in the market at the moment because so few of the clubs in the lower reaches of the EFL (and certainly in the upper reaches of non-league) do not have the resources to maintain large squads of academy type players (they are either in the squad or not). Clubs who have Cat 1 Academies are essentially becoming factory like in their production of loan players to "help" such clubs out when injuries hit. I don't see that being a bad thing for us. But, we do need to ensure we have a steady stream of academy players that are right for us! Our problem at the moment seems to be defining what "right" means; "experienced" shouldn't be part of this equation, but seemingly our Head Coach wants it to be! #klaxon #knapperareyouonit

I don't deny Kenny has been a good servant for the club. He has been a good midfielder and around the beginning of this year was a brilliant LCB. But I haven't changed my mind that if we go up and he is still being picked in the starting line up in midfield we will come straight back down, no problem. However if he plays LCB, well the jury is out on that, I think that is his best position whilst he has been at the club. He could be next season's equivalent of Danny Baath - wins player of the season and hardly figures in the starting line up of his team the following year. 🤷‍♂️ Me, I'd have given it to Gunn. He has shown real consistency in the one position.

Purps, I've been trying to unravel that myself but I think there is nothing to see there. The amount paid per share is merely a reference to the amount paid in nominal terms and a check that it is fully paid up (as indicated by the other line saying unpaid share capital was zero). The share premium (that is the other £24) doesn't have to be disclosed on this return. All will be revealed in November when the financial statements are published and we can see the movement on the share premium account.

I still follow him on Instagram; apart from pissing me off with his daily fitness routine, over the past two months he's been sharing his experiences in an indoor football league they have in Germany, sort of 5-a-side but on a mini artificial grass pitch. By all accounts he was player of the tournament so probably finally found his level, his ability to keep and control the ball in tight spaces plus his short passing works well in such a confined game.

That's bizarre - I was on that island for that too - I remember sitting by the pool as the texts came through getting more and more pissed off; all the other tourists around the pool thought I was going mad until I explained what was happening. Then they all took the ****! 🙂

Perhaps its time to take that 2nd degree, or even a masters? 😉

An angle I've never seen before. Is that the ball underneath the Wednesday player who may have just bulldozed City's keeper into the net? Over the line? Clear foul? Goal or not goal? VAR?

Look, I am not selling my shares to anyone! Unless I have no choice, okay!

Untied have just confirmed today they've bought the remaining land on their Bramall Lane stadium footprint from their former owner (who was playing hardball after losing in court to the current owner), they earlier this month bought a large site for their new training campus at the edge of the City from HSBC, and are currently spending a few million revamping the hotel in the corner of their stadium. It seems their owner is prioritising assets over team building, so yes, they are skint in that regards. A real test for them next season given that over half the current squad see their contracts ending at the end of this season! Not sure any are worthy of our attention especially if we go up.

Not all of us, mea culpa! Wagner asked if he'd have voted for McLean for PotS: "Yes, but I was a little bit surprised that so many supporters chose him. Normally the players who score goals and are in the spotlight win these awards. This only shows how smart our supporters are, and he fully deserves this award."

@MC_NCFC conveyed higher up the thread how Attanasio and his backers had an interest in Sara's contract. Some of us fear it may be bordering on third party ownership but they seem initially to have found a way around the rules governing this. In theory if repeated it should allow Norwich to attract more players of Sara's quality to the club even with a limited budget.

I've heard on the local grapevine up here that Sheffield United's goalkeeping coach has said they have already enquired after Johanson for next season, but have dropped their pursuit because they can't afford him! 😳💰

Just cut out the silly mistakes Kenny! Just one bottle of 20/20 Mad Dog on the City Hall balcony in May! 😉
