I publish the occasional article on Preston North End. Link is below if you would like to read on any that may tickle your fancy.

Year two of a Preston recruitment piece.

Harder to write this time with the budget being a genuine unknown, but I've tried to cover all bases.

Would love to know what you think. Press below to read 👇

@thejdtucker We've got one of the worst national anthems. The lyrics are shite and there's no excitement to it.

Couldn't give a toss if they sing it or not.

[Jordan @JordanSMonk]

@Ash_GW My mate had this happen. Got a new one sent out because of it, and that also had no sponsor on. And this was around the beginning of this year, so several months after the initial shambles.

[Jordan @JordanSMonk]

@preston14713 @pnefc33 Record sales last year.

[Jordan @JordanSMonk]

@preston14713 @pnefc33 Oh no. What a shame.

You're just going to have to get over it, because that would be very low down on the priority of deciding a shirt sponsor, because the majority of the money from shirt sales goes to the manufacturer, not the club.

[Jordan @JordanSMonk]

Best to not get your hopes up about the home shirts and with concepts that are made in that case if you really don't like it, as the home shirt will always be a company's main branding colour, if they have one.

But the away and 3rd are often better shirts anyway as they can sometimes be more creative and don't always have to stick to the same colour so they tend to be the ones I look out for more.

[Jordan @JordanSMonk]

@preston14713 @pnefc33 Not really. It gets changed for the away and third kit. Just get one of those if you really want to get a shirt and you like it. Not that deep.

[Jordan @JordanSMonk]

@preston14713 @pnefc33 That's not going to be a reason they decide on a shirt sponsor.

[Jordan @JordanSMonk]

@pnefc33 @preston14713 SpudBros won't want to do that. They are the shirt sponsor, so they are going to want the main shirt to have their branded colours.

Same with every other time we've had a sponsor that has red branding.

[Jordan @JordanSMonk]

Why do they not have Scouse flags?

[Mukhtar @I_amMukhtar]

About a handful of far-right activists held a protest outside a police station in Liverpool. It's so cringe.

[Jordan @JordanSMonk]

This should show all of his followers what his true colours are and that he'll only push for division and "rage" when there's certain demographics involved, because he knows that's what's built this following.

It worked with Brexit, before he then disappeared after it, and it's working now.

[Mukhtar @I_amMukhtar]

When Metropolitan Police officer Wayne Couzens kidnapped and murdered Sarah Everard, Nigel Farage released a five-minute video urging people not to attack men or the police.

Today, in response to the murder of Henry Nowak, he called for "pure cold rage."

[Jordan @JordanSMonk]

Needs implementing everywhere ASAP. Should've been changed way before now.

[Dale Johnson @DaleJohnsonBBC]

JUST IN

Pierluigi Collina reveals the goalkeeper tactical time-out will be BANNED at the World Cup. Players will not be permitted to approach the technical area.

PLUS: New VAR powers for an attacking foul before a set-piece is taken.

It's in the player and agents interest for there to be a double move as they then get two lots of signing on fees and agent fees.

It'd be great if we can sign him, and keep him, but it's also a positive if we can quickly get some profit from the deal to invest further into the squad.

[Jordan @JordanSMonk]

Could be quite a realistic possibility that we sign Devine and then quickly gets flipped to another team shortly after that.

Fans probably won't like it as Devine is very popular, but that's a much better outcome than him not signing at all.

[Alasdair Gold @AlasdairGold]

Understand there's loads of transfer interest from some big clubs in Alfie Devine this summer as his future looks set to lie away from Spurs. More below. https://t.co/OZ8CqoSUu5

[Jordan @JordanSMonk]

Actually being able to hear what the video referee is saying during review in Rugby League makes for far better viewing than what football decides to do with their secrecy approach.

Don't need to release videos with the audio after the matches if they just air the audio at the time.

[Jordan @JordanSMonk]

@TC7123 He's already been signed back to Frankfurt as they had a buyback clause. Was done last month.

[Jordan @JordanSMonk]

No idea if he's going to be within our budget and realistic scope now, but mentioned him last year as a striker option.

Has continued his form though so probably teams higher up than us interested #pnefc

[Ben Jacobs @JacobsBen]

Scottish striker Robbie Ure set to leave IK Sirius in Sweden after 15 appearances and 14 goal contributions.

Clubs in England, France and Portugal have made enquiries.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[Jordan @JordanSMonk]

@dsecondjin @Oldura @LFCLaurie I will say it again. Formation does not equal the style of play.

By saying the style of play between one manager and another, is the same, just because of the formation, is lazy.

[Jordan @JordanSMonk]

@dsecondjin @Oldura @LFCLaurie Formation doesn't equal style of play.

[Jordan @JordanSMonk]

I think this will be a very good fit. A better one than what Xabi Alonso potentially would've been.

Will need some slightly better depth though for the high intensity so a big summer ahead.

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

🚨💣 Andoni Iraola, set to become the next Liverpool manager as revealed earlier today!

The negotiations will move forward quickly to get it done with formal steps but #LFC decision made…

…Iraola will be the next manager. 🛑🔜
