They may not make a profit but it will make a contribution to fixed costs I’m sure.

They signed Conor Coady in the summer of 2023 as they entered the championship. They gave him his best ever football contract even though he was stepping down a division and arguably his best years were behind him. 4 yr deal on £75k a week …. He couldn’t believe his luck.

The rot started when the father was still there. Immediately following the premier league win they started paying way over the odds salaries to players in a bid to become a Champions league team. At one point they had the 5th highest wage bill in the league. It was a totally unsustainable...

Dawkins is so far up Oversons arse he can see saddles ankles !

Why do you yearn for the SISU days so much … it’s really odd behaviour

The rental income would be neutral ….

Y You might want to ask a Newcastle fan what that was like …. Team relegated under him ( and promoted ) no real investment in transfers, wouldn’t engage with the fans, banned local media. They were protesting to get rid of him.

One that thinks the 2 assets combined are worth more than apart ….

Bidwell back in One of Lati or BTA not to start.

We have been linked with him for a couple of seasons now. I think we first were linked with him after we played Oxford in the FA Cup. I doubt we have the funds …..

Eccles will bounce back. He will get another chance. We have few midfield options and it’s still one of our weakest parts of the pitch. His chance will come.

Happy to have differing views.

Second half Kitchen was launching it long generally towards BTA and what ever his relative strengths winning those types of headers isn’t one of them.

I think the point is that this season Robins chopped and changed from Match to match which doesn’t help build players confidence or understanding on the pitch. I think Dovin has been excellent since he was reintroduced into the team, I do think Frank prefers a more experienced and vocal keeper...

Spot on We are less cavalier now which at times is less exciting but we do look a little tighter at the back and more in control. Frank won it all at club level but most of his many managers were pragmatists and it should be no surprise that we see such traits in him.

I’m not suggesting Binks is the answer or even a better player. I’m simply making the point that Kitchin can be erratic in his decision making and distribution and that was evident yesterday. That’s not a quality that most managers will want in a centre half.

I thought we saw the issue with Kitchin yesterday. 1up and goes for a 50/50 he can never make and they slip the ball to the forward who has ran into the space he’s left, but Binks blocks his shot 6 yards out. His distribution was also incredibly inconsistent. He plays with aggression and he...

Was it the team you expected @Saddlebrains ? I’m not sure what was so concerning to you ?

I thought it was a typical Asante performance ….. never stopped running and trying, his finish was really just a blast not a composed finish and he plays with his head down when in possession which is why his final output os often sub par. He’s a very likeable guy but a bit short on quality.

Are King, Frank and Austin aligned on transfers ?? Frank keeps picking the players we are told are lined up to be sold. Strange.
