Villa’s promotion means the last year of Ross McCormack’s contract will increase from £44k to £70k per week. He’ll be 33 before the season starts. His last goal for them was in 2016 and he’s only ever scored 3 goals for them since leaving Fulham. He cost Villa £12m. Would be nice if they'd now...

Today's programme said that Denis Odoi, Stefan Johansen, Neeskens Kebano and Floyd Ayite have had the options on their contracts picked up and ill stay at the Cottage next season.

The result probably flattered them a tad but sums up an embarrassing season for us.

Tomorrow we see Kevin Friend yet again take charge of one of our games. Yup, this will be his 5th match. He's already done : Man City at the Cottage at the end of March when we lost. The only players booked were ours; Christie and Le Marchand. Huddersfield at the Cottage last December. A...

Interesting that Harry Arter has decided to move on from your lot just as his brother-in-law gets the Fulham job.

No word on player availability in his press conference today. In fact the Boss didn't mention Sunday's match at all. Have to assume therefore that the regulars from last week are ready to go. Newcastle have something like five injuries in their main squad and notably Sung-yeung and Yedlin are...

It's a 2 year contract.

Scotty Parker has been appointed full time Head Coach - no details given as to term etc. Wonder if that increases the chance of others than Cairney staying ? The really good news is that Stuart Gray is definitely teaming up with Parker. Link to story...

An example of the times we now live in Captain. Get it that kids benefit from coaching. Get it that Leagues give kids something to play for. What I don't understand is adults who believe they are Mourinho and get involved purely for their own self gratification.

Too right Captain. As you get older three things happen. First you lose your memory and cripes ... can't remember the other two.

To say I was shocked is too strong but certainly was astounded. Learned last night that Stevie Humphrys is no longer on loan and indeed he signed permanent transfer terms with Southend in January. Yet another case of poor communication from the Club.

Wouldn't touch Simpson with a barge pole. Always liked Okazaki though - intelligent footballer. Unfortunately injury and age are now against him.

Saw this list of Championship players available in the window. Frankly none caught my eye. A couple of years ago maybe, but not now. Posting however, so that you can tell me who I've missed. List...

Liverpool are showing more than a little interest in full back Cody Drameh. The 17 year old, who has been a regular in the U23s this season and made the England U18 team, is in his final Scholarship year with Fulham. Therefore 'ripe for the picking' if the Club don't make a move.
