McKenna is making more sense to me the more I think about it if INEOS are going to appoint senior personnel to allow him to focus on coaching the team. It does seem like a huge step up but I guess he would be faced with keeping Ipswich up in any...

Oh man, imagine that, SJR down on the touchline, raising an 'ETH' board. It's been a grim time, forgive my dark humour..

I'm with you on this. He hasn't let his head drop during a very difficult time and has struggled to get decent supply. I really don't know who we would get as an alternative if Kane is off-limits. Evan Ferguson? Artem Dovbyk or Lautaro Martin...

Got a bit choked watching that! I don't often see Chelsea but a good friend is a massive long-term Chelsea fan and he was saying we'd got a great player for the price and could be a player to build the team around. Clearly that hasn't worked...

I don't think EtH did any dirty laundry in public. IIRC, he basically just said that when putting a team together you have to assess their mentality or focus as well as assessing their physical performance. So he was just saying that he had...

Yeah, that's an interesting way of looking at it. I hadn't appreciated it from that perspective but INEOS might see it that way and have a public facing former England manager at the top while specialist coaches do lots of work with the players...

Now that makes sense! Seen them live once and they had like famous war criminal names on their guitars in that old German Gothic font!

That is the most unreal thing I have seen today. Tom 'South of Heaven / Reign in Blood' Araya(n)? I need a lie down.

That's true that, I think all the Celtic people are historical travellers, especially from absorbing Scandinavian and Viking cultures. I suppose they were the pioneers of their day just like we're thinking about some form of settlement on Mars or...

Ahh, the good old days! You'd think with inflation and the money in the game they could lob fivers over at least.

That's the sort of problem I would like to see Brian Clough tackle.

Haha, just reading that, it looks bad. But we're firmly 19th century still. But it is actually true, a lot of Scots emigrated to Eastern Europe to work in the steel and coal industry. Horrendous way of describing it, I agree!

Oof! Now that does make me feel my age! 'Fond' memories of them 'donating' 2 pence coins at high speed towards us back then.

I've been waiting for someone else to make that reference about names, there's MacAllister, and I think a Polish guy and it's unsettled me! I know all about how Scots went to big industrial places in Ukraine years ago or other mining countries so...

Fair point, I think I was on rant mode while wearing the rose tinted glasses. I suppose there's an improvement for clubs to make better squad investment when they sell sought-after players much like Brighton did with Caicedo.
