After Russy spent several months trying to push him out, and was halfway out the door himself at the time. Let's not pretend that that Neil Quornock (Thanks Rangers fans!) rated him from the off.

He and Matos have certainly clicked, but he's the type of player that managers like anyway. Competent managers at least.

You just have to listen to the way Melker Widell talks about him to see how he is viewed within the club. Fine player, superb professional. Will probably join the coaching staff at some point.

Premier League clubs don't tend to spend heavily on Championship strikers these days. Might get the odd one or two, but it's rarer than it used to be. I think about £15m is the highest anyone would go.

It all depends on how we stay within FFP rules. We build a squad capable of building momentum by smart purchasing and selling high, thus allowing us to reinvest.

Lord no. Cooper had a strong squad, delivered tedious football but got us into the playoffs. Martin had a strong squad, delivered tedious football, bafflingly moronic tactical choices, blamed anyone and anything but himself for our struggles and failed miserably to get anywhere near them.

That rings a bell.

Not the first time Leicester have played fast and loose with the financial rules if memory serves.

Shefki Kuqi. Although technically he migrated to Finland as a kid.

Owning the stadium is fine if, and in football that's a pretty massive IF, ownership can be trusted. Too many examples exist of financial manipulation around sale/buyback of stadiums, or clubs getting shafted when things turn sour. Having the ground owned by an independent third party may not...

I don't think anyone is likely to replicate what Wrexham have done unless an even bigger star than Ryan Reynolds buys into a club. "Taylor Swift is a Jack" maybe. For good or bad RR and Rob McElheny spotted an opportunity and they have exploited it extremely well. Reynolds is a savvy marketer...

The fact that we've been sailing close to the wind in terms of FFP is not new information. Most clubs are I'd imagine. A doubling of our last reported figures would be an additional £8m coming in, which would be roughly where we were in the Prem, inflation not taken into account.

You would expect him to have maintained a high level of fitness given the likelihood of him making a move to an active league in January. It will probably take him time to get up to the pace of the Championship, but that would have been the case anyway.

Galbraith may not be here much past that either. Of our CM's at the moment, one is on loan (MY), one is out of contract in the Summer (JF) and one is likely to attract interest from elsewhere (EG). Nice to have a bit of a conveyor belt of talent starting up.

As much as I don't rate Cullen I can't condemn him for this. We've been on the wrong side of it too many times in the past for it to be so.

I don't disagree. Eom should probably have four or five by now (although I maintain that he would be a better #10 than a winger). Ronald has underperformed. We need more goals from midfield in general, which hopefully Walta will contribute towards.

Was always the perfect response to those going OTT about his contribution.

I don't think there's ever been another Swans player who frustrated me more than Grimes did. He's clearly got the skills to be a top quality player. Some may disagree, but I genuinely believe that. However, he's such a negative shithouse on the pitch so often teams almost never see it. He has...

He's only doing what the managers tell him to...

Just reading the "corners are abysmal" part sent me into a dose of PTSD like I'd done three tours of 'Nam.
