I thought Ads was saying he'd been spotted following them all at once? You might be right though......

Fuck Leeds. They are in the second division and they will stay there for the foreseeable future.

Forgot about Swansea. From 1978 until 1986 they climbed from the fourth division to the 1st and back to the 4th again. Crazy.

 I’m sure Northampton did something similar in the 60’s

Northampton were in Division Four in 1961 and were promoted to Division One in 1965. Back in Division Four in 1969. An eventful decade!

As well as Wolves, Bristol City and Luton have both managed three successive relegations.

Truro City and Shaw Lane seem to have the English record for successive promotions with four each.

Clyde managed to finish bottom of the league three seasons in a row in three different divisions but we were spared relegation to the Lowland League as it hadn't been invented yet. Hurrah.

Gretna managed three successive promotions then liquidation all in the space of three years.

So spurs signed jack clarke from Leeds but loaned straight back for this year. One last push for them, this year promoted or another few in championship.
Surely they won’t sell PHILLIPS to us if that’s the case ?

As I said a few days back, Clarke isn't ready for th epremier league so this is more likely spurs wanting to make sure they get him but knowing he's not ready for their squad yet.

It will be nice when we get to a place where we only 1-2 major signings and can then sign young, promising players and loan for less than the market would suggest they're worth and then loan them back until they're ready. Basically the opposite of what we've been doing the last couple of years.

Cannot believe that any of the press and social media speculation about us going for Phillips is accurate. It's a Jack situation.

Get Rongier from Nantes for £9m and the bonus of getting rid of Kalinic; their manager wants him as keeper and Rongier is ready for a step up to the PL. Win/Win.

Nantes signed a new keeper the other day.
I think the Kalinic/Rongier talk is all twitter 2+2=515253 bollocks.

Noel Armand on Twitter saying deal done for Phillips at £25m plus add ons and personal terms agreed. Medical tomorrow
Is Armand reliable?

I hope this is true.  It feels like a lot on money but no more than we would have wanted for Jack or McGinn if we'd stayed down.  I think he could be a great fit if his heart is in the move.
