Seems like a weird time to 'report' this when on the face of it there is nothing whatsoever to warrant it in the actual story.  Would blame a slow news day but with the Olympics going down, you'd think they'd have plenty to fill the back pages.

And who is John Richardson anyway? I'll believe it when Kendrick or Nursey or Moxley report it.

I wouldn't believe it if it had come from Kendrick, Nursey or Moxley either. The article is so speculative and only supported by a "reliable source" - which might as well translate as 'I'm guessing but I need to look like I know what I'm talking about'.

My point being that had a more reputable journalist that actually follows the club wouldn't have written that article in the first place. I imagine if Kendrick had written it then we'd have a lot depth and likely quotes for something that would be a major story.

Everything is for sale at the right price & I would trust Randy to do what was in the best interests of the club when that time comes. But that time is not now.

Surely there's enough stuff to write about with the Olympics at the moment.

One thing about this wage slashing is that we are going to need to pay these replacements the going wage too.

That's a bit unfair. El Amhadi and Holman have turned their backs on Champions League football so we must be paying them a decent wage.

It's Premier League football they're after though.

I prefer to think of it as going to Aldi.

The quality's just as good as the stuff you get at Waitrose, but it's foreign, cheap as chips, and a bit weird.

The thing about trying to do all your shopping at Aldi is that you find there are too many things that they don't have, which you use weekly, and you then end up going to Tesco or wherever to buy them, thus doubling your supermarket trips.

Still cheaper overall though ;) My god if Aldi did Heinz tomato sauce I'd never have to step foot in a tesco again.

At least we'll be able to get hold of some nice Mexican cheese in that case!
