It's out on Tuesdays and Fridays at 7am with headline features, CFCW/academy updates, a picture of the week and 'on this day' section, as well as transfer latest (for the summer) and analysis part.

If you enjoy, please share and offer feedback! I'm totally open to anything around it.

I have down:

-Main headlines (3-4 stories in a sentence or two)
-Transfer stuff that has actually happened, not rumours and noise
-Women/academy updates
-What fans/analysts are saying - and where to find other sources of CFC content

Would a nostalgia section and maybe 'event of the week' get you?

I want to keep it concise and without too much of my voice (because who really wants that?) but still an easy to read and informative service.

There's no clickbait, no BS, just providing something that fans can engage with and enjoy without getting lost in ITK reports and other crap.

I did a fag packet version of this and came to very similar conclusions

Sell the obvious where possible, use Chalobah, buy a CB, bring back Santos+Petrovic, buy a winger+striker, academy for cover everywhere else (ISS especially). Add Essugo + Estevao

Three signings, cut the losses, use internal

The highest % of Brexit voters in the country, from major Tory to Reform. Such a grim area.

Fancy explaining what you disagree with first or...?

For me, coaching is about being adaptable. It's about getting the best from your players, not tying them down to your way of playing and then limiting them, it doesn't promote freedom, expression, creativity, or pushing boundaries.

It can raise the floor for some but hinders the best.

Maresca's plans for specific matches have largely been good and a lot more adaptable than I expected but struggling/being unwilling to change (and then being so open about it) when things are going wrong is completely damning.

Looking back on the other memories, it's nine years since Samuel Eto'o's hat-trick against Manchester United.

These sarcastic David Moyes posts now seem very genuine after the Tottenham result though!

Probably at wing-back.

What is it about Neto that has changed, in your mind? I agree on your feelings towards him, just wondering how he went from that to a total mistake within two years.

Is it all just a general lack of output and constant flight risk to injury?
