My problem with all the transfer speculation is that we seem to be assuming a team of 14 players. There are gaps - CDM and striker for instance - but nobody seems to want to drop players who were succcesful in L.1. Also we have quite a big squad, so actually have a number of fill ins in case of...

pebble dashed surely?

You need at least two loans - they provide skills that are not readily available at a price we can afford. No @Hare & Walsh = no promotion. But conversely players of their ability are ten a penny to the Premiership clubs. Supply and demand. Only Dabo could compete with our two loans for speed...

I have a suspicion he will never play regularly at anything above League 2

£400k

if we want to trade at breakeven-yes it is.

thst is well beyond our budget for a squad / back up player. It's more than we paid for Godden, and strikers attract a premium

Assuming Kelly and Hamer are the first choices in central midfield, the query is obvious. Why spend a lot on a man who is likley to be a squad player? For choice I would prefer a loan as back-up to Kelly and Hamer. The wolves guy is a better option. This comment guarrantees that Sheaf will...

Is it a team in Robins' likeness? I remember thinking how small we looked against Luton a couple of seasons ago. There is a chance we could get bullied by some of the cruder teams, but at Championship level it is more likely to be speed and skill, so I would not go hunting for Dele Adebola...

We will need to sell every season, regardless. That is the whole model. Brentford, who have the same model, are probably going to have to sell their best player, despite finishing 3rd. We just have to get our heads round it as being a permanent way of life. Every new player has to be...

Which is completely justified. There is a lot at stake. That's the game

Championship - league 1 yo yo club sounds not While a little too enthusiastic about SISU, this is correct imho. It looks like relegation to L2 came as a bit of a shock to them but fortunately coincided with finally finding a manager who could deliver. That enabled them to keep the club on an...

Norwich away Forest at home Watford away

If I put in the word "marginal" the point is completely true. The extra marginal costs of building (and maintaining) space for an extra 6k. We are delusional about the crowds City are likely to attract on a regular basis. If we sell out periodically I doubt if the owners will mind. As the table...

Ignore the £ sign on "18k"

The issue is the extra cost of making it a 24k stadium rather than 18k one, measured against the extra income from the games where the gate exceeds 18k. As Cup games don't do it - we had 15k for Stoke - and there is no guarantee you get a top club at home anyway you are down to local derbies or...

..but how many of the Sunderland fans were still there at half time let along 65 minutes. They are world leaders at leaving before the end

Might not get a choice.

I am just glad that we have had a very good look at a loan - try before buy. That's quite rare

It's plenty big enough for a mid table Championship side. All the caveats only apply if you exclude the Uni. Once you include a substantial, prestigious partner, all those caveats are automatically weakened
