    I was going to say I agree with that and then, would you if you already had £50mil in your bank account, doubt it if I’m honest, I know for a fact I wouldn’t<ok>

    That’s the difference ain’t it.

    I think I’d have done MLS. Few years in LA as a millionaire sounds magnificent.

    Danns is the profile I wanted

    a physical presence. We do Liverpool right it’s good for deals. I thought he was absolutely ready for the championship and a lot of their fans were surprised he dropped that low. A low end prem team he’ll be a good option

    it also allowed Mayenda, Isidor, and abdullahi to develop too. I like that signing a lot and it’ll be cheap whilst covering something we need

    I’m considering the same thing. Needs to be the right move but want more balance and work to not dominate my life so much. At the very least enjoy it more.

    Bit of a tangent, but I remember the Watford players were complaining because Jeff Winter [he’s a smoggie ]was the referee and he was called all the Sunderland players by their first names. But you’re right could do with a middle of the table team 2nd game in, fear it’s going to be a Champions League qualifier the opening weekend, and it will be undoubtedly the opening Friday night game as well.

    Not a massive fan of flekken but he's had a good season, trust them to get better.

    They are after Kelleher as a replacement.

    Aye, would be a solid signing. Good GK who needs to be playing now

    Aye, weighed it up and honestly mate, doesn’t feel like we’ve cut down on anything really, more that everything was done to excess before.

    We still eat out when we want, holiday when we want (couldn’t actually do that in previous jobs).

    I’ll be stopping altogether at 52 when mortgages are finished. I refuse to accept we run ourselves into the ground for 65 years to hobble about our retirement.

    You’ll find me on a cruise ship with a sweater wound my neck drinking Pina Colada at 11am at 55 <laugh>

    What you said last ‘enjoy it more’ that was more valuable to me than an extra bit of money in bank.

    If you change your mind I've got a couple of chickens to start you off. One of them is a rooster with a proper Napoleon complex.

    Also considering some sheep if the problems with wild dogs round here calm the **** down.

    Big challenge for Brentford this summer it seems, may be the first time their squad is dissembled with Mbuemo possibly away too. Not saying they’ll struggle but they’ll need to adapt

    I've did similar. I was press ganged into working in the Middle East a long time ago as it happens. Long story not worth telling, but with a bit more experience would have told them , despite the money, to shove it, which is what I later did.

    They seem to manage mind. They've been shedding good players for years and handling it well. But maybe their time will come.

    Have they? I can only think of Ivan Toney who they’ve lost in recent time - compared to say Brighton who’ve been stripped of MacAllister, Caicedo, potter, de zerbi etc etc
