  1. I suppose on a scale of Blackface Offensiveness, this might rank low, as the character is meant to represent an actual Black King, and it doesn't seem like it's done mockingly. Contrast it to early 20th century American minstrel shows, which were designed to mock, degrade, humiliate and reinforce the racial heirarchy and odious ideas regarding "eugenics". Nonetheless, this is an awkward look in 2023, so hopefully our DEI department has a quiet word with our entire Spanish contingent about avoiding these pitfalls going forward. The sooner this gets put to bed, the better.
  2. The female victim. It boils the blood. Her poor family.
  3. Born and died in New England. Never stayed away too long either. Very sad news. Never quite broke through to the superstar level, but easily could have with the right role. Ultimately that wasn't really important to him, and he had a really solid career nonetheless, and was still working. So long, Treat.
  4. @BOFwhere were we speculating about the power dynamics recently? I wonder if this had already been decided weeks ago?
  5. So the verdict is he was essentially sacked?
  6. When you think about it, having one guy overseeing the business AND football aspects of the club seems strange and probably rather outdated. The landscape is much more complex than 25 years ago.
  7. Heck has few if any contacts in the English game, Purslow has a lifetime of them. So right now, we are at a massive deficit.
  8. Agreed, they should come right back up, will likely take one of the top 2 spots. Hate to say it, but Leeds should bounce right back too, especially with new owner funds.
  9. Which makes it a lower risk signing, which should assuage some concerns about his conditioning and attitude, both of which are determined somewhat subjectively. He had a down year for a team that collapsed. I'm sure with the new challenge, we'll see him do well.
  10. Nice one, Dirk. Nobody says nifty anymore. I approve.
  11. The freebie also means we can splash more money on other players now.
  12. The magic Emery has worked with McGinn and Watkins, among others suggests that he will get Tielemans back to his best in no time. This is a very shrewd signing.
