So I've taken a look at the #dcfc squad turnover for the summer to see what sort of shape it's in after 11 signings and several key exits 🧵

Police investigation into the death of Billy Vigar, who collided with a concrete wall playing for Chichester City is continuing, coroner's court hears. There have been similar incidents previously, so why did the FA do nothing?
Few different points here (Mowatt, Bilbija, Fraulo all playing), but notably Max Johnston is at left-back again in this clip
Would imagine Cashin is likely to move there once he's back, and Robinson should stay there otherwise, but interesting nonetheless if Eustace wants to keep trying him there while there's a lack of options

EXCL: Understand Blackburn Rovers have agreed a compensation fee with Derby County for goalkeeper Jack Thompson.
The fee is understood to be around £150,000.

News that a guy who paid nothing for his small stake, had no prior link to club/city, hasn’t been to a game for ages & is busy with another sport, an ocean away, shouldn’t be a news at all. But this is Tom Brady & Birmingham are top of the table. Odd.

Quantuma time costs on the Derby County administration now £3,854,193 per the latest report. They have taken about £1.85m to date. Unclear if creditors will agree to paying any more or how much, if anything, the administrators will have to take on the chin. Legal and other expsnes total a further £2m, including £95k on trains, taxis and motor expenses
CC: Ryan Hedges, Joe Ward etc.
It's poor luck, but it's also a case of injuries causing other injuries (I'm sure there's an effect that has a name that describes this)
The less you can rotate due to injuries, the more susceptible players who then play in their place become to injuries themselves
For example, Charlie Taylor having to play as much as he has due to injuries for Murkin and Forsyth, then causing him to become injured. It's a vicious cycle that Derby are stuck in, maybe the international breaks can be circuit breakers...

I think this'll be the end of Eustace today
It's an absolute schooling and no matter how much faith you want to put behind him, you can't turn up and defend like this. How much worse could it get?
Premier League clubs are hooked on litigation. Welcome to the Lawfare era
Aston Villa will initiate legal action against Jamie Carragher for his unacceptable insults about the Club and its fans.
Aston Villa will not allow anyone to stop our ascension in English and European football.
