Life comes at you fast

RICHIE WELLENS RED ARMY!

Behind the transfer window: A conversation with Cambridge United's Director of Football, Mark Bonner January is seen as a turning point, but inside football it is defined by uncertainty. Cambridge United Director of Football Mark Bonner explains why planning can only ever take you so far.

Good interview here from @ntt20.com with Cambridge DoF Mark Bonner on the trials and tribulations of the January window.

No, it's not about #LOFC specifically, but it is a good explanation of why Clubs can't & don't get all their business done early doors

ORIENTEAR #301 is out tomorrow! From all the usual spots, including online. Lots of stadium related content this time plus a couple of absolutely belting retrospectives. After the 300 spectacular this is a much more folksy effort...

Miss it and miss out #LOFC

and please enjoy this from @rplancso.bsky.social on fan engagement. As usual, we had so much this time we couldn't fit everything in. Consider it a (not) hidden bonus track

"I have long admired and respected Christopher Ruddy and his principled approach to journalism” says Mr Gandler.

Newsmax has paid out over $100m in the last year to settle defamation suits brought by manufacturers of electronic voting systems used in the 2020 Presidential election that Trump lost.

Invest in Newsmax: America’s fastest growing News Network Newsmax is a top U.S. news outlet offering independent coverage via TV, streaming, and print. The 4th highest-rated cable news channel reaching 40M+ viewers.

David Gandler joins the board of Newsmax, a US broadcaster and media company that supported Donald Trump in the aftermath of his attempt to overthrow the result of the 2020 election. Let’s hope DG is going in to help clean them up #LOFC

A sublime post if I may say so
