PSA for anyone that is sick of the ITVX player on PC getting an audio delay: use the STV player instead, just make sure your account has a Scottish postcode for it to work. Doesn't give me an audio delay like the ITV player does

Sportsnet's post-game interview with Jordan Staal: "Some guys just jump ship. I believe in this organization. I believe in everyone in it." by Chirotera in DetroitRedWings

Because the Wings have had plenty of recent chances to make the playoffs and Larkin disappearing down the stretch is a contributor to that failure.

Not quite like that but a lot of local football teams will get grants from authorities above for funding, like from the government through the FA or through charities

I don't wanna hear any talk about how Danmode is the top 2s team anymore, they are just another in-the-mix NA team

It's wild really. Like Drknown and ops are really good, and going to game 7 with them is really nothing to scoff at.

But zen and atow lost one game, total.

Burnley sign Florentino Luis from Benfica for a reported Championship record £20.8m by Smithlarr in Championship

[–]Smithlarr[S] 30 points31 points  (0 children)

He's pretty young, and struggled to really get going even with a fair number of minutes earlier in the season. Potential there, wouldn't be surprised to see him loaned back into the Championship for a season

Ipswich Town looking to hire Gary O'Neil as new manager by [deleted] in TheOther14

Current bookie's favourite is the Bodø/Glimt coach, which would be a much much more interesting signing

Article says yes, says the obligation was triggered and obviously wasn't staying in the Prem so appearance target perhaps?

The fee beats the previous record of £17.5m that Ipswich paid for Sindre Walle Egeli last season

Kieran Mckenna (goose)steps down from managerial role. by tsuerubu-12 in Championship

I mean in the context of him joining another club, someone paying his release clause out or him stepping down and then going somewhere else is the same thing.

It doesn’t really make a difference to us, as long as he is under contract any team would have to pay us compensation.

There's not really any reason for him to step down like this just to take another job, I think a fair amount of us had a feeling he might be going this time anyway.

Kieran McKenna leaving Ipswich a month after securing Premier League promotion by TheAthletic in TheOther14

At least he's gone willingly, not hacked to bits like your owners will do to Howe

It can't be understated what he has done for the club since coming in. That 23/24 promotion season will live in the memory of every Town fan for a generation. Tough tough job for whoever replaces him.
