Just corrupt PSR rules.

I mean, yeah - seems highly plausible. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

I love this, but I'll add that there was about a 14 year period where I definitely only occasionally enjoyed things in the old place - so it definitely a lot of baggage I've mostly managed to put out of my mind.

When we see other clubs spending more money on a single player than we can spend on an entire rebuild, it's clear that the rules aren't fit for purpose.

My most generous interpretation is that the after a while, they simply forgot why they created the financial fair play rules to begin with.

Barring some incredible late(ish) recruitment, it does seem likely that we'll go right back down. Anything better will be a nice surprise - though knowing this still won't make the season any easier to watch if we don't surprise.

Hopefully the real Largie actually did go and sign autograph or two!

I totally missed that Harrison was missing, which probably says something.

One last time before the weekend, my new story from this week, on a film that vanished in late January without explanation. Thanks to everyone who's read and shared it so far! If you haven't yet, please join this cool group of people!

If these recommendations are implemented, the reality is that enough money could be freed up to fund a large portion of the Canada's nature spending needs. It would help put us on the path of halting and reversing the biodiversity crisis. Will government listen, though?

For two years, CPAWS has been working with Dave Sawyer at Enviroeconomics to undertake a thorough review of industry subsidies, with the goal of identifying any that harm nature.

He found about $5.7 billion per year and devised a framework for government to cancel or redirect them.

This, 100%. Recruitment has been excellent so far and every player recruited by Underwood and the team has boosted the squad.

I'm glad we're stretching while there's plenty of time left to find alternatives.

Meanwhile, I can't blame Paixao for choosing the Champions League over a relegation scrap.

You honestly have to respect them for going all in for the pun.

Nice! I've got a similar vintage shirt that my uncle won at a charity auction and gave me.

There was maybe a discussion to be had in the beginning stages of this, but any time we are quibbling over whether something is a genocide or just staggering ethnic cleansing, we've lost the plot and some of our humanity.

This actually makes a lot of sense and could be a great fit for both Bamford and Leicester.

When children read about the Gazan genocide and ask what did political 'leaders' do, and what lessons were learnt from history and previous atrocities, show them this. 2025, Australia.

Never again.

Stoked to be able to celebrate this signing by putting on my Stachhat.

This is a reference that requires you to be a Leeds United supporter who grew up in Australia no later than the 80's.

What I'm saying is that the audience for this post is basically just me, but I'm sharing it anyway.

I like to imagine that there's one person working high up for the German authorities, who thinks no one knows and no one else has the heart to tell them.

Graham mentioned it in the last Inside Elland Road pod. I think the secret is well and truly out!

The easiest way to see Leeds content is to add the Leeds Leeds Leeds feed:

bsky.app/profile/did:...

It'll pick up anything with the #lufc tag.

When he's been healthy (and I know "when" is doing a lot of work here), I feel like he's continued to add something important to the squad.

I also think he's shown a lot of loyalty to the club even when he hasn't been getting the minutes he surely wanted.

I understand it, but it makes me sad too.

Me too. I'd kinda hoped that this would be his season to come back healthy and shine.
