Slim

If he was really worried about not being able to compete with the Glasgow teams would he really be kicking about the city for the best part of a week?

Had a look at the Blackpool forum, they’re absolutely loving Clarkson.

If we had anyone actually interested in holding Reform Ltd to account, it would be the end for Farage as well, he seems to be all over the files in a political inference context. BBC seem far more interested in “At Home With The Farages” puff pieces showing what a ruddy nice bloke to have a pint with Our Nige is while the Labour government are perfectly content to let GB News break all kinds of broadcasting regulations on a daily basis and despite the mounting evidence that Brexit was planned by these outside influences from the very beginning have no interest whatsoever in addressing that head on.

That would be an ace appointment.

Yep, last sentence is from that word for word.

What are you actually expecting though? Recruitment processes for high-level roles always tend to be fairly private out of respect for the people involved and their current employers. There's absolutely no need for the fanbase to be privy to names on shortlist and the like. When you look at how people jumped on and obsessed over the throwaway comment about it being advantageous for the next manager to have exposure to the Scottish game as being an absolute dealbreaker and that he'd be doing a massive U-Turn if he brought in someone that didn't fit that profile, it's no wonder he's saying the bare minimum.

Not that experienced based on his Wikipedia page. 105 appearances over an 8 year period for Reading, then has barely kicked a ball for last 18 months after signing for Portsmouth with a couple of unsuccessful loans at Charlton and Bradford, with the latter sending him back early. Bradford fans do seem to be quite complimentary about him though.

Portsmouth had quite a chunky number rejected already, doubt he's in our price range now. Speaking of Portsmouth, they signed that left-sided defender Ibane Bowat that we were after about 18 months ago from Fulham. Has only played 7 times for them this season after missing a year out with injury. Could be an option if they're actively looking for additional defenders and fits the perma-crock criteria.

I read that as being no fee paid to Aberdeen, either as compensation for cutting loan early or difference between fee paid by Schalke and the £1.5m (if higher).

Interestingly (or most likely not), I had a look at the St Louis FC subreddit last week to see their fans reaction to signing Polvara and there were a few negative comments towards Lutz filling their team with players from European reserve teams and they were glad to finally be clearing them out and getting more Americans on board, noting that it was ironic that Lutz was now helping them fix the mess he created. Obviously, I could have been reading the output of the Yank equivalent of a Hat numpty mashing his keyboard but came to mind when I read that statement above.

Dennis Geiger apparently coming on loan from Hoffenheim. (Another) Holding midfielder, hasn’t played for them at all this season and was apparently bombed out of the squad after criticising the higher-ups: https://sports.yahoo.com/dennis-geiger-fumes-latest-hoffenheim-101300573.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAADrB1t0Slga1iKn76q85w0ku_hJgVAsYSR8JaB1q2WvsHJlau11CBsMSa7rJPITQpR4OqY86nFYVJZfr6_5YLLqsysOAS4d8mCXjxlQGbvAQRRphtv57QpjthSGpUHyNqm8cIopmYrnbrfkeQJrsiyke3JGliCp3QSvknOkKvdP

Connor Barron has seemingly refreshed this thread 45 times.

I assume Aouchiche will be on a fair whack as well.

Afeez Aremu, Nigerian defensive midfielder incoming from Kaiserslautern. Hasn't played much in last 2 years.

Even the NR-fucking-A are coming out saying it’s wrong to say the victim was at fault for legally having a holstered gun on his person. This clearly shows the victim’s gun was taken away from him before they unloaded their bullets on his restrained and prone body: https://www.reddit.com/r/law/s/Dw7ZxTa3cx You don’t need to curate your news sources to form an opinion, just use your eyes FFS. “The U.S. Constitution (particularly the 2nd, 4th, and 14th amendments) prohibit officers from shooting citizens merely for possessing a weapon that is not an “imminent threat”. This was reaffirmed in Graham v Connor, which says force must be reasonable. ”
