Lease it out mate…!

Lease it out mate…!

Sublet is going out on loan?

I was at a do last night and a mate introduced me to Richard Stearman. What a lovely guy, he was really friendly and we chatted for 10-15 minutes and he had a photo with my lad. Some of the things he said:
The players were shocked about Rooney leaving and still don’t know why he’s gone.
He doesn’t see McGoldrick as a number 9, says he’s most effective attacking from wide. Said we definitely need to bring in a number 9.
The players we’ve just signed all had offers to play for more money at a higher level. They all really want to be here.
I really got the the impression that they’re all excited about this season.
I do have to caveat the above though. You see…
 

I’d be devastated if any fans had to go through what we have, or even worse if it ended in liquidation. Birmingham have got some disgraceful fans but so have we, so has every club. Don’t let a brainless vocal minority taint an entire fan base.
Living in Brum I know loads of decent Bluenoses including all my wife’s family. No one deserves to go though the anguish of the last 9 months, I wouldn’t even joke about it because we very nearly went under.

Christ. And I thought amortisation was dull.

Pleased for Rooney & hope the move works out for him and his family. It was probably the case that his wages were the biggest obstacle to him staying at Derby.
He stayed with us far longer than we'd have expected someone of his stature to do given the state of the club. No bitterness at all & this doesn't tarnish last season one bit in my eyes. We're all moving on & I'm looking forward to the Rosenior era.

Good luck to him.
At least he went at the right time. If he wasn’t committed then I’m happier that he left when he did rather than midway through recruitment or into the season itself. This way Liam’s been able to pick things straight up and run with them. 

Grateful to Rooney for all that he did for us last year. Without the performances on the pitch last season would have been unbearable. As it was we just about got through it all mentally/emotionally.
New season, new ownership, new chapter in our history. Good time for a new broom. I’m delighted we’re giving Liam the chance he deserves.
In the meantime, all the best to Wayne.

I think I said a while ago that I would not have wanted him sacked because of the way he brought everyone together last year but last year’s task was so unique it provided basically zero insight into whether he would be able to get a side promoted so wouldn’t be upset with him walking.
Hold no bitterness towards him and am grateful for some amazing moments last season but fairly glad to have the Wayne Rooney circus and everything that it entails gone for a bit. Even more grateful that whatever he was cooking up with Kirchner didn’t happen.

It’s a position where we clearly need to recruit and Oduroh looked promising, albeit judged on 45 mins. Definitely a very credible option though.

Using expressions like "an accident black spot" or a "black day for X" is problematic because it's using "black" to mean "bad", so most people these days will find a different way to express this, quite rightly.

Saying a black person is black isn't problematic. It may have been unnecessary on this occasion and so better left out, but it's not racist to include skin tone as an identifier where it makes things clear. On the contrary, dancing around trying to avoid saying a black person is black can honestly be more problematic - you're acting like you think black = bad. It's not.

Anyway that said, Kwaku Oduroh played really well and I'd like to see him play lots of minutes this preseason

And if you have to prioritise I'd make it a goal scorer. It's been patently obvious for the last how many seasons that we stuggle to put the ball in the net. Whilst Stretton and Bart might come good, just having McGoldrick and (maybe) Collins isn't enough firepower.

Not had a ST since days of Nigel just attended on a match by match basis when possible, but following last year the family myself/sons and grand children have just got 7. Seems rediculous given we have dropped to the 3rd tier but last season was so good, and I have faith in LR, the players, and fans that this season will continue the feel good factor at DCFC. We have our club back  COYR.

For the first time in 28 years me and my friend are season ticket holders again - the Oxfordshire Rams are back in business! ??
