Distortia

Smarmy businessman who either cannot, or just refuses to, level with the traditionally (though of course not exclusively) working class fans of the sport he works in. Seems the type who might have a mirror above his bed to watch himself in the action. Fairly effective operator with a decent record of success compared to a number of others in his position within the sport. Resided over the most successful period in Ipswich's recent history as well as our best league finish for a decade.

Nothing particular to add that hasn't already been said, but wanted to say this has been a fascinating read of a thread. And I echo the overarching sentiment re the way clubs pay staff. A friend of mine is currently working as a recruitment analyst for a championship club alongside studying a MSc in Sports Performance - it sounds like very hard work for in his case, no pay.

I was at the game. Think Farm deserved the win but definitely wasn't one for the ages... weather didn't help either. Still, great to get out and support - proper football!

How incredibly sad.

The young lad Mainoo looks incredibly talented. Future England midfielder most likely.

no

The young chap who scored the winner for United looks something special. Irrespective of how crap they are he has started 8 games in a row at 18 and scored a brilliant goal (link for those who haven't seen it). Too soon to say for sure but England have a number of talented young midfielders coming through the ranks.

You reckon? I suppose they beat Man Utd recently but can't see it being as 'exciting' for them as it is for our club given the leagues we're in.

Need to win away to a Premier League team first....

What a nasty man. Scumbag.

Surely that's pretty much as good an appointment as they could realistically have expected to attract? No clue why they didn't go for him instead of Deeney in the first place. What an odd saga.

Get in there! Hell of a leap from him.. debut goal!

Real chance for Twine.

Fair decision. Stupid to jump like that.

Out of the loop here - why is he (allegedly) leaving Hull early? Isn't his loan there until the summer?
