As always, refreshingly completely on the button regarding Forest Henry. As a Forest fan of over 40 years I agree with every word - bar the MGW leaving bit of course…

hope he stays, Adrian, but whether for PSR or his own ambition, he's likely to go. Been terrific for you. Good luck this weekend.

Hey Henry, I'm an OO from Laxton and a general media/football nerd. I now live in San Francisco and consume football from a far.

I work in Tech and consume Ben Thompson's daily work at stratechery.com. Ben's a pioneer who inspired the creation of substack and has showed that differentiated writers can be well rewarded for their work.

As a fan I think your work within Football, and wrt to England, is unique. Would love to see you follow the paid direct approach and I'd be thrilled to subscribe.

Best, Oli

thanks Oli, just been with Toby, who said you were flying in San Fran, and he said no surprise because you were always a hard worker. Hope you're enjoying SF, I'm certainly enjoying being guided by the substack crew, great people. Best, Henry

thanks Stefan, really appreciated. Feeling my way but Dan and his colleagues could not have been more patient and helpful.

In my experience it’s a far more welcoming platform for writing and reading in equal measure. A bit like the early days of Twitter.
