Re: Is VK learning anything?
I wonder if it might turn out that last season was the exception to the rule in terms of VK's managerial career ? Pulled up no trees in his time at Anderlecht and is clearly struggling this season. The biggest drop in points from one season to the next is when Norwich got promoted on 97 points in 2...

Re: Match Thread - Wolves v Burnley
It might not this season, if we’re not good enough we’re not good enough. They are definitely doing the maximum they can and I think (barring Beyer and Foster) that is our best eleven possible. I can’t ask more of them than that personally - but I’m relaxed about the prospect of relegation so I rea...

Brighton ran a net negative transfer spend of between. £50-70M for a number of seasons while they got established. They have bought the odd player for around £20M, very few. The outlier this season was Pedro up at nearly £30M whilst they were recouping serious income from sales. Not all the signing...
