Re: What now for James Trafford?

Observing only from the outside on Trafford's character, I have very little doubt he completely believed he would earn the #1 job very quickly at either City or Newcastle. He was probably given assurances at City that he would start the season ahead of Ederson, and that turned out to be the case. I ...

Re: Salisbury removed from VAR today

There can't be many jobs where you get a paid day off in return for making a big error. With that said though, surely the responsibility for the bad decision is Jones' unless there's an implicit assumption that the ref watching the replay is just a facade and the real decision is made by the VAR?

Re: **** VAR

VAR has made the game a lot worse. It would be a big positive if it could be run sensibly but our referees have made it clear for many years they're not capable of or willing to do so. They should get rid of it as it would make the game better.

Preston finished 1 point above relegation last season and Osmajic scored goals in two draws after the incident so this takes some working out

Hope so. Seems really odd that we've got two defenders who've played more league minutes this season than last season. May be controversial but I feel like if you make 13 signings you should improve your team rather than changing formation to fit in last season's reserves.

Ignoring concessions, varying prices in different seats etc, if we charged £780 instead of £525 for 16,000 season tickets we'd make about £4 million a season. Maybe overcharging fans for a quarter of a signing would make the difference, who can say.
