Don't know enough about them, but Bordeaux is a big city, with a huge area to pull talent from. Buy it on the cheap (or set up a brand new team), spend a stack of cash on the academy, use the EU membership to bring in players who might struggle to get a UK visa straight away.

Sounds like a club worth buying on the cheap, have a nice French farm to produce and develop talent.

The fact you've thought about what comes next is, in a weird way, reassuring. Some can't see past the expected finality of the attempt. Keep talking to people though.

Had similar last year. Just managed to sit down and unpack everything when the announcement came. Repacked all my stuff and weighed up the options (genuinely considered getting a flight back). Ended up getting what seemed like the last seat on a packed train to Sheffield. Plan was to get the 22:30 train back to Manchester from there. 10 minutes from Sheffield and an announcement comes that all trains to Manchester are cancelled. Had to get an Uber back home from Sheffield on the company dime. Let a lass share the trip because otherwise she'd be stranded, after suggesting she share the license plate, eta and all that.

That pesky son again.

Thursday should come after Wednesday, the former is the son of the latter.

If that's true, I'm not worried. £10m, can be negotiated down, or folded into clauses based on player or team performance.

Ah mate that's shit news. Might be worth phoning the hotel and seeing if you can reschedule the trip? COVID might still hold some weight?

Oh, uh huh uh huh, just one second

What the fuck is the context for that? Instant reminder of George Galloway pretending to be a cat on Big Brother.

Aye it becomes second nature. I also thought that I'd struggle to get back into the rhythm of whatever book I'm listening to, but it takes less than a minute and I'm back in the tension, levity or whatever.

To be honest I prefer reading actual books too, but use it because I rarely have time to sit and read at the minute. I listen to books as I do the groceries, or do school drop off/pick up.
