I won't wet my pants. Much as I liked Larsson as a player...... unproven as a manger. Lennon was very good, sorry to lose him.

A friend of my mine is based in Madrid for work reasons. He's telling me that the Suarez is a done deal as far as they are concerned. And yes very scary.

To be fair the thread has been a bit dead for a while...post-season come down?...pre-World Cup lull?

Nothing much had been said about the England squad, LVG's appointment (which was the catalyst for Giggs to retire), or even tonight's Champions League final.

It goes without saying that Giggs, to Utd fans anyway, is a genuine legend in a world where that term is overused. I'm glad the club didn't retire his shirt number, never understood why some clubs do. Instead, an iconic shirt number should act as an inspiration for future players...

    • 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" ?

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."
