By the time the players are fully adjusted to the jet lag, they'll be on back on their to England and will have to adjust again within an unrealistic time frame.

Season opener is v Brentford on 13 August isn't it?

Oops. You're right.

Still doesn't seem like a great idea to play in two different time zones within a space of just three days, but thankfully it's not a competitive match.

Then again, maybe a 5-hour difference isn't that bad.

Ivan Gazidis has been diagnosed with throat cancer.

I don’t think any of us thought much of him as a CEO, but he doesn’t deserve that.

I wish him all the best

This table , which I have seen before, is proof positive that we've never had any issue at all with the owners investing in the squad.
We just have not invested wisely.
