    I think Val's budget was the 2nd/3rd worst in the Championship which has in recent years had far bigger gulfs in class than L1. I still think in L1 if you have a poor side, if you're fit and well organised you could finish mid table.
    I'm not too bothered about the budget side of things as long as I see a side that genuinely looks like it gives a crap and puts in a shift - as was the case with Val's side.

    Seems very reasonable and likely.

    Conor's had the dartboard and pork scratchings removed from the smoking room.
    Proper training this summer.

    Reading something today that also said from Tuesday a new affordability window for the PL opens and some teams are waiting for this to open. Whilst on face value this shouldn’t affect us it could be the catalyst for chains to start to happen as well.

    I think you should be Mladen’s number cruncher…5 full backs equals one striker or summat like.

    I don’t know about astute. Clarke was furious about the fitness levels last season & wanted his own man in. Hourihane would’ve seen all that
