It's very weird yeah. He's on the training ground supposedly starting the job but just can't be confirmed or on any official club stuff until this paperwork gets finalised, and... why hasn't it been?   Absolutely it feels like clubs are soft on tapping up. I do think there's a difference between "are you interested in the move" "yes, go negotiate" "we're close on a price how does this do" compared to the stuff around engineering a move to a specific club.   Reports today of £75m, which honestly feel embarrassing. Why can't we do what Bournemouth are doing with Alex Scott, what Forest did with Gibbs White, what Sunderland are doing with Xhaka, etc? I think the Gordon and Tonali sales were good for the club, and the right time to move on, but Bruno hurts. A reason I didn't think he'd go to Arsenal is I thought they'd be too tight to go up to/beyond £80m.... I didn't think we'd cave at less. 

Trying to play catch-up. Is the consensus that Faith No More's reunion run hands them the keys to headline status? Because it feels like a little bit of a stretch to me still - unless you're booting them up the Korn / Limp Bizkit route and pairing with two very big names.

This one has been announced for a while, but don't think it was posted about. For the Antipodean-skewing crowd next month...  

I was a little surprised that Jack White didn't end up here, given the late summer routing of his shows around the UK. Felt like an obvious slam-dunk of a pick.   Wolf Alice intrigue me. Headlining Tramlines, likely gearing up to make the push for R+L-type slots after selling out Finsbury Park... feels like it would have to be a proper coup-level shout.
