It goes ahead and I'm pretty certain it will.

Fingers crossed.

Yep.

Talk to you next week.

Look forward to that.

There we go.

A cursor always goes missing.

Yeah, you've got to have a centre forward, especially in the Championship.

I know at the very top level of football, world football, you've got your Barcelona and Guardiola when he had Aguero leading the line.

It's different now, he's got Haaland, he's a conventional, obviously a very good conventional centre forward.

So they play it that way.

But I did speak to a centre-half who had played against City earlier.

This would have been a couple of seasons ago.

And I said, what's it like?

And he said, it's a nightmare because there's no one to mark.

They haven't got anybody who is sort of leading the line, who's pushing up on the two centre-halves if you're playing four at the back.

So it is a nightmare.

And I suspect that if John Massino goes all the way as a manager and ends up with a big club under him, he might consider going in that direction.

But at the moment in the Championship, you need a couple of strapping centre-halves and you need a centre-forward who can put himself about a bit.

and make a nuisance of himself, even if the centre-halves are three or four inches or more, bigger than him, and that often is the case with Colby, but he still wins so many balls in the air, despite being, I believe he is claimed to be 6'4".
