And of course, who was available. Watched the old firm derby and still not convinced about Idah, who is now playing against some pretty ordinary opponents apart from one.

Out of interest just who are these people, Bright Path Sports Partners? Had a look online and there is very little info, other than they are a private equity outfit, but no obvious track records. Assuming proper due diligence has been done, otherwise the risk of switching 40% of the club from a mega wealthy pension fund to a risk reward group would worry me if I was a fan.

Interesting quote from a Financial Times piece - "Take private equity, where investors commit their cash for up to a decade in unsaleable investments". Hmmm!

I thought he gave 12 months notice of not seeking to renew his contract which is a slightly different scenario.

But wasn't able to keep us there apart from a 3rd bottom finish for one year followed by bottom of the top division and some more years of mediocrity to follow. So, in truth, nothing changes.

First match remembered was Rd One FA Cup 1958 v Ilford but as a regular along with my best mate, Canaryking, 62 years ago, saw every match that first season back in the old 2nd Division.

Opta ran 10,000 seperate forecasts and they have us mid tyable and Ipswich at 18th - https://theanalyst.com/eu/2023/08/championship-2023-24-season-predictions-opta/

Read it again. Her husband of 52 years literally means exactly that - tyhat is how long they have been married.

Indy regarding your last post, if my memory serves me correctly didn't they put £11M in their very early days when our position was extremely dire. OK sure this has since been repaid but it saved us from extinction. Also as a percentage of total wealth MA's £10M is less than 2% of his personal estimated worth, whereas DS would have been nearer to 33%?

Fair do's to them, they are destroying their opponents at present - just looked at the table, they are still on course for 100 goals and 100 points. Not at all confident if we play them, certainly not with our current squad.

Got it! Nunez will be man marking Carroll.

Looks like going for a 4-3 win.

Complaining about a penalty not given, now that's funny no mention of their guy's blatant handball in the box missed by officials. VAR would have given us both decisions, no question.

What pleased me particularly was how the presence of Hayden helped our central defenders confidence and Gibson really benefited with a strong performance. The clearance by Hayden from under the bar, mistakenly given as a goal keep by the useless referee, was amazing and the difference between 3 points and 1.

Leicester after a new Manager if they lose tonight?
