Hmm those of who watching him a lot felt he had the potential to make it at championship level. It’s probably the only sale we got wrong for the price

On the same day in the Telegraph:

Kim, you are killing all my hope

Because they can't possibly fail to deliver a game this year. Sega was quite clear in their last investor update that it will launch this year 🤞

Hoping for October release but would expect November more likely with a two week pre release beta

And Blackburn are currently 5/1 to be relegated from the Championship. After Hyam's exit, that looks too big a price to ignore.

So in the end, only two of these things happened. Hedges extended, and Buckley sold.

😟To say I am worried is an understatement.

Looking forward to hearing from the club in the podcast with fans' questions, which is a step forward in fan communications. I think it will need heavy editing!

At least we will be a real challenge in FM26 this year!

Ha in that case bet on us to go down. It might be the only way we stay up now 😥

😂 that's the joy of the lions

Agreed, but I would not start Aki. Not convinced by Conan as well, but moving Curry to 8 is not ideal

I would have Tuipulotu and Jones in the centres and Morgan at 7 and move Curry to 8. Otherwise looks good
