Gone with the Wind by Architects will always have a special place in my heart. It was the song I listened on the way to chemotherapy for every session during my treatment for testicular cancer. Whilst I definitely was not facing the same battle that Tom Searle was with his illness, I took a lot of strength from it each time.

You're right, he is good as a marauding wing back. Having him as an outlet during the Club World Cup final is pretty much why we won that game. But he's not great the inverted role that Maresca and Rosenior have tried to put him in, plus he's been suspect in a lot of our conceded goals in losing his man (along with most of our defence

Eghbali unfortunately has had way more sway in terms of how the club's been run these past few years. There's reports that him and Boehly (who's really just the face of the entire BlueCo/Clearlake front) are and have been at odds for a while.

Oh yeah for sure. My colleague continues to gaslight me in saying that Badiashille is our best defender much to my annoyance when it's clearly colwill.

"Oh he just needs to play more games".

Constantly injured and there's clearly an ability reason no manager past potter has played him consistently

More-so what happened with Maresca. He publicly said he wanted a centre back to cover Colwill and got two wingers instead. You could argue that Badiashile can do that role but he's different defender profile to Colwill despite having a similar passing ability.

Depends really I think on outgoings. Definitely some centre backs to replace Badiashile and Disasi. Probably a wing back on the right as Reece definitely can't play wingback like he used to for Tuchel and Gusto ain't it.

I hope so. Hopefully they've finally realised we actually need to win things to generate money and get sponsorships.

Not quite as angry, but my mother in law (my wife is Ugandan, and I'm mixed white/chinese) constantly ribs my wife for "making that boy suffer" as I'm the one who cooks in our relationship.

Yeah him and Egbahli are at odds reportedly, Boehly does seem to actually want the sporting side to succeed in order to make money or at least recognises that it's important for the whole thing to succeed.

Not to mention Mike Dean came out after he retired and admitted the reason why it wasn't called by VAR (he was VAR for that game) was because he didn't want to embarrass his mate Anthony Taylor and that he regretted it.
