Your constant moaning about constant moaning about Slot is getting on my nerves to be honest

How long have you been saving that one up?

I've always used this as a rough guide - how accurate is it?

Here's the Joyce piece

Appearances in previous seasons (Rio had one in 24/25 FWIW ) aren't really relevant to the conversation as it's about how they're being used in the squad under Slot. Slot didn't rate Harvey and bombed him out after last season (a mistake IMO, but that's a different conversation) so he's brought Rio up in to the squad full time. He'll end up playing about the same this season as Harvey did last, so you either count both of them or neither in the squad numbers. I mean obviously you don't *have* to - but it seems a bit of an odd argument to be having.

The club can sustain the odd season of not being in it, but anything more than that would start to get problematic. FSG's model is that the club is self-sustaining and I think that's a really good way to be. Doing that whilst staying competitive against financially doped clubs (so that we stay in the CL) requires that the senior management of the club is *always* on its A game. I think they've taken their eye off the ball and appointed the wrong people a few times over the course of their ownership - and I think that's been their major failing as owners.

I mentioned Rio back at HG 'cos he's playing the same kind of fringe role in the first team as Elliott did last season - he wasn't in HG's list 'cos he's come from the Ressies as opposed to being bought. Harvey got less than 800 mins all year, mostly when the league was done. Rio's on track for about the same now that Arne seems to have remembered that he exists. If HG is going to include Elliott as a full member of last season's squad with those minutes, then including Rio in this season's is also fair. As for Morton (who you're trying to shoehorn into an argument, despite forgetting how to spell his name ) Our young player depth is definitely a bit s***e at the moment, but (unfortunately IMO) it doesn't really matter 'cos players like that didn't - and will seemingly never - get game time here under Slot in the same way that they did with Jurgen.
