    With all this in mind, I'm very much looking forward to Roy Keane getting back into management...

    Platinum handcuffs. But in all seriousness - he is not going anywhere until the end of his contract if he signs that and hopefully understands that. Unless Qatar pull out and the club go bankrupt

    And he's still going to turn it down for Real Madrid. PSG trying to bribe him into staying.

    Everton, Forest and port Vale should start the new season with no home fans in the first three fixtures (away only)

    We had idiots on the pitch last evening, our security will be under investigation too.

    The worry is that it's stopping being a spontaneous celebration, and started being a performative 'thing'.

    Is there really more than usual though? There's always a lot at the end of the season we've just not had the opportunity to see them since 2019.

    Usually if you get promoted or survive relegation, but I think it’s slightly above normal (winning a play off semi final or in our case, losing a youth cup final?).

    The bigger issue is that in most of the instances so far this season a member of the opposition has been physically confronted or attacked.

    I've definitely seen them for play off semis before. Less so youth cup (not that I've ever watched one of those tbf).

    Your second para is absolutely spot on though. Morons ruining it for the majority.

    It certainly looks like, the biggest team in League one, are going up to the Championship.

    Twitter reports 300m bonus, 100m after tax per year, input on coach, input on director of football and input over ins and outs.

    I’d say that can’t possibly be right but the deal they did for neymar was insane so who knows? Sounds like a great way to screw the club from top to bottom.

    I mean the money is insane, but nothing compared to the latter in terms of footballing implications.

    Giving one player superiority over the manager, other players and the director of football seems to be a sure fire way to nuke a club.

    By all means go for it if true though, PSG and their kind are a disease eating away at the sport and their failure can only be a good thing.
