Can't believe there wasn't a "WARNE stOUT" mat.

If @admira's new gaff doesn't resemble Alonso Towers, I am going to be bitterly disappointed.

3 reasons to compare a good wife to a little toe...
1/ They're cute
2/ They provide much needed balance
3/ You never truly appreciate them being around... until you bang them on the coffee table late at night.

Great news, I'm very happy about that - I know lots of us voted so well done everyone for helping make that happen, I reckon if he released a single, even the crappiest song out, we could get it to number one within a couple of weeks 😂

I'm 6 months sober today, and apart from a couple of hiccups, I have drank very little in the time since my board meltdown 18 months or so ago (I'm guessing).
I'm sick of people in recovery circles saying alcohol is evil.
Alcohol isn't evil, I've had some of the best times of my life in its company.
It's just not right for some people, and too many people are uneducated about how it is/can affect them, but demonising something doesn't help. It just makes people with good intentions look evangelical and hysterical.
Just because I can't drink responsibly doesn't mean I'm a miserable ducker and expect the world to abstain.

That's us too. Same for birthdays and christmas too nowadays!
Boring/tight to some, shocking/shameful to others. But it works for us, and that's what matters. 👍
Anyway... back on topic... 10 years = tin, traditionally.
@B4’s Sister, you've mentioned what he doesn't like... how about you help us help you, and tell us what he does like! 🤣
EDIT:
Oops... @FlyBritishMidland beat me to it, tin-wise! 🍻

We’re getting warmer. I’ve just looked at 10 year old whisky. Bit pricier than usual but not too expensive. I could put together a hamper of ten gifts including photos/memories as suggested by @Anag Ram and @ramit And tin suggested by @FlyBritishMidland and @Mucker1884 Thanks guys 😘

This has given me an idea of printing some photos of the last ten years and writing a memory on the back. Thank you!

Problem is I don’t know what he likes half the time 😂 He was listening to Suede a few days before a tour went on sale. Bought tickets only for him to say he doesn’t like Suede 🤷🏻♀️ He’s into music but obscure stuff I know nothing about. He’s just started reading properly, bought a couple of books which turned out to ‘not be his thing’. Can’t bloody win 😂

Are you trying to compare our manager to an "unsexy manager"? Seriously? 😲

OK, so let's dissect your rationale:
1) "We'll have a good budget" - None of us know what our budget will be but I would imagine it's not going to be particularly close to a top 6 budget. There will be 4 teams with parachute payments, some clubs kitty will be boosted by players they are able to sell, some seem to have owners more willing to splash the cash and, whilst our attendances (and therefore gate revenue) may be amongst the best, it won't be significantly bigger than a number of clubs.
2) "We'll be an "attractive" club" - By this I assume you're suggesting good players will be tempted to sign for the club. This may well be the case but, I'm pretty sure for most players and their agents, money has the loudest voice.
3) "We'll be an ambitious club" - I doubt very much we'll be unique in this respect. There will be several I reckon that fancy their chances at making the play offs.
4) "A club with a "successful" manager" - Wow, this is a bit rich coming from you. I don't think anyone would doubt that PW's success has only been proven at league 1 level to date. He has no successful track record at Championship level but many of us reckons he deserves a chance.
5) "A manager wanting to prove himself" - I would imagine every permanent manager (if there is such a thing) wants to prove themselves.
You're right, the thread is about aspirations and top 6 should be the goal BUT you said "why can't we expect a good run at top 6". There is a difference between aspirations and expectations.
For me, the aspiration is to be up there having a good go at the top 6 but my expectation is much lower.
I know I added a smiley face to my original response but the cynic in me can't help but think that if we're not close to the top 6 by Christmas (or earlier) you'll be calling for his head on the basis that we should "expect" to be in contention for the play off places.
