Putting an end to this would be the easiest win in politics. No more tax rises. Deficit down. GDP up. Popular with the public.
But they can’t do it because of their lunatic, benefits-obsessed backbenchers.

I’m not sure about the source but it’s fair that RW would be challenged on the signing of Bamba - a player clearly miles off PL readiness at a time when we urgently need first team players. And at a fee not too far off what Brentford paid for Sangarè
📰 Reports from Football Insider suggest that Ross Wilson is facing intense scrutiny from the club hierarchy over his summer transfer business. Pressure has mounted significantly two months into the campaign, especially with Tomas Amaral recently brought in as head of first-team recruitment.
📉 Sitting eighth in the Premier League table with 11 points from our opening eight games under Matthias Jaissle, a transitional period was expected after losing major stars like Sandro Tonali and Bruno Guimaraes. However, board frustration centres around the lack of impact from several summer arrivals who are struggling for regular minutes.
⚽ While the likes of Lukas Hornicek, Amar Dedic, Nico Gonzalez, and Matias Fernandez-Pardo have seen plenty of action, others have failed to make their mark. Aladji Bamba has barely feature, Sean Steur’s minutes have plummeted, and Bazoumana Toure is yet to prove he can fill the void left by Anthony Gordon.
🤝 Despite our inconsistent start, the board reportedly maintains full confidence in manager Matthias Jaissle and intends to back him. In contrast, Wilson’s position supposedly remains on thin ice heading towards the crucial January transfer window.
👀 Looking ahead to January, squad reshaping looks inevitable with both outgoings and incomings on the cards. Senior figures including Nick Pope, Fabian Schar, and Joe Willock could face uncertain futures if sales are needed to fund fresh blood.
Do you think it's fair to put pressure on Wilson already? 🤔

A reminder to those still buying Nicola Sturgeon’s book that she defended her decision in the Scottish Parliament to cut the bottom off fire doors during Covid to improve air circulation. Rather than opening them. The fire brigade said that was nuts. Policy abandoned, inevitably.
