Perhaps WH fans will get off BFS's back then. He isn't a long ball merchant as everyone takes him to be. Very unfair on him.

Not unfair - he IS. In today's paper he moans about being labelled one - which he denies - then says "Here's a question: if the club against whom you're playing have spent ?100million more than you have but can't cope with your team's tactics who is the guilty party?"


That's a bloody admission. Not just the long-ball it's the "There-are-away-games-against-big-teams-we-can't-win-so-we-may-as-well-not-bother-too-much-and-save-ourselves-for-the-home-games-to-guarantee-survival-but-f*ck-all-else" attitude. I hope he goes.

Charles Green has told Rangers' board he intends to leave his chief executive role "with immediate effect".


Green took up the position last summer after leading a consortium that purchased the assets of the liquidated Rangers Football Club plc.


He is now the subject of an independent investigation, commissioned by the club's board, following allegations of covert dealings with former Rangers owner Craig Whyte.


Green says it's "appropriatew" to leave.


A club spokesman told the London Stock Exchange: "Recent weeks have seen media interest in the circumstances surrounding the period prior to the acquisition of the club by the consortium led by Mr Green.


"Whilst Mr Green strenuously denies any wrongdoing, he has recognised that this negative publicity is a distraction and is detracting from the achievements and reputation of the club.

Have a look at the 2nd set of stats for passes. There isn't much difference between WH and Man U for example apart from the number of short passes.

Stats schmats they don't prove anything - after all a couple of players can rack up the pass count by meaningless exchanges in harmless areas of the pitch. But stats and 'tables' are what BFS relies on too - "Look at the figures - we're not as long ball as some teams...etc etc\" -


I am not trying to present a reasoned unbiased argument like a Lawro et al - I just don't like the way things are developing. We're not Bolton or Stoke and I would rather be relegated again and rebuild from scratch than use muscle as a substitute for skill. Mad innit?

      Chango - New local gem alert!

      But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?

      ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."

      You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
