Sporting President says Vik is happy there. It doesn't sound that way if his comments in post 359 above were accurately reported. It seems he is stuck on a long contract with what he thinks is an unrealistic release clause. Didn't he moan about our valuation of £20M before he moved?

So far that's Sid James and Louie Walsh in the team. Any more suggestions?

I did say I wouldn't be surprised, being careful not to phrase it like many do on here, as if I can read the future. But his target is now either 3 top 6 finishes in the next 4 seasons (including this one), or 2 in the next 3, depending on when the target was set. I think that puts him under a...

To make the playoffs 3 times out of 5 is very challenging for any club without parachute payments. It's essential to have targets in any job but they have to be realistically achievable. If we were to achieve 3 out of 5 but not get promoted would that then be viewed as failure? It ultimately...

At least we would have a good title for the podcast. Carry On Losing.

On the plus side, Watford are not particularly a bogey side for us. We have only lost 1 of our last 10 league meetings.

Ok, sorry, but anyway I thought that game last season was a low point for us.

Add Rotherham last season to that

I would say most of those were Doug's idea with a view to making a profit in the future. MR wouldn't say no to extra depth in attack but as said, some of that money should have gone to provide more balance across the team.

It's not optimism, I'm just saying what happened last year. I'm not suggesting we will be in any position by January, just pointing out there is no reason to worry at this stage that the season might be over by then. Your user name is cov kids never quit !!!

Early last season, following and including Norwich we had a run of 2 points from 6 games. In that run we lost to Bristol City, Rotherham, WBA, and Preston, and only drawing with Norwich and Stoke. Immediately following that run we took 27 points from the next 12 games which included taking...

Things started to go wrong the minute Lawrence left, and got worse when Adi went. **Coaching**

Well, he probably didn't fancy getting kicked all over the pitch like what happened last time he faced Norwich.

It makes me wonder how much we are missing Viveash

The problem is, we have had at least 2 players all but signed for the midfield position. Browne and Stamenic that we know about. We have been unlucky and / or a bit naive but we can't really be blamed for not getting one of those. We can't, or won't pay what most players of that calibre want...

I think Simms might struggle for game time anyway once Bassette settles in.

I'm fairly sure he only gets any info an hour or two before an announcement, and deals will be done until 11pm

There are 1001 reasons why that won't happen
