Re: Stephen Hewitt ACL fundraiser
Why do we need a government policy for something that's optional to engage with? If you want to donate, do it. If you don't, then don't.

Re: Would you take Sammie Szmodics ?
Grant Holt bagged 15 goals in the PL in 36 games at the end of his Prime, then 8 in 34, then spiralled to 2 goals in 16 in the Championship.
If Szmodics would've had this season at age 23/24 that'd be a different.

The big question is how you get Bellingham and Foden in the side together.
