a) They sold Bellingham and Watson b) they got promoted with a very low wage bill and c)Their PSR allowance is higher because they've not benefitted from parachute payments in the last 3 years

It's pretty clear that the £33m +£6m in add-ons that we offered for Strand Larsen was at the absolute limit of what we could afford, and probably would have required a sale either this month or in June. Not surprised, therefore, that we've not bought anyone #LUFC

I know-what made it worse is that we practically gave them away.

Bradford City is the team you're looking for. In the season they were relegated from the Prem they had Wetherall, Molenaar, Halle, Hopkin and Sharpe. Their team also featured two players who went on to play for Leeds-Blake and O'Brien, and one player whose father had played for Leeds-McCall #LUFC

I remember Oldham Athletic had Irwin, Linighan, Ritchie and Wright in the mid -late 1980s #LUFC

They have a very good record v City, but I hope you're right

But I always had full confidence in them...🤔 #LUFC

How shit are Chelsea playing? #LUFC

The 3rd Arsenal goal was the worst goal that we have conceded this season. Worse than any goalkeeping howler. Strujik, Rodon and Bogle all at fault #LUFC

Another goal for Harry Gray, I see #LUFC

My thoughts exactly #LUFC

That was so far over the line it should have been a no-ball

I'm not saying that one of the throw-ins that Rice took was a foul throw, but if a bowler overstepped by that much in cricket, there would be a match- fixing enquiry #LUFC #LEEARS

Leagues apart, even allowing for the referee. Some of our players who have been raising their game for the last two months have regressed to the mean #LUFC

Yes

Given all the deals that get done, it's rather amazing that we haven't actually signed a first-team player in January since Georginio (Monteiro and the Nigerian kid don't count) #LUFC

Must be signing Weston McKennie then...😉 #LUFC

Strand Larsen is decent. But he's not £50m decent. #LUFC

I think it's more that our limit was set for us by PSR. But it's true that Palace are paying over the odds. #LUFC

If you were him, why would you move now when you can have your pick of 10-12 clubs in the summer?

Why would Wilson go anywhere in January? In the summer he'll have a bigger field to choose from.

Remember last January, when #LUFC fans were panicking because Sheffield United had brought in Brereton Diaz, Cannon, Choudhury, Clarke and Holding, and we'd signed no-one? Didn't work out too badly did it?

It's behind a paywall.

Couldn't disagree more. Why would you sack someone when, just like last season, he is achieving the targets set out for him at the start of the year? I'm glad you're not my boss.

Lincoln fans will be crossing their fingers that he doesn't get his head turned if Leicester City make an approach-he's from Leicestershire.

*second tier

Michael Skubala appears to be doing a fantastic job at Lincoln. To put it into context, Lincoln City have not been in the serving tier since 1960-61 #LUFC

I'm expecting Forest to win that. Forest should have too much quality going forward to be relegated, although fixture congestion might be an issue
