Richard O'Donnell leaving Walsall on a free, decent enough keeper and still only 26. Bradford supposedly interested though

I don't think so, not now. Since Wasps bought the Ricoh the whole feeling about playing elsewhere has changed. It's not the deal breaker that it was before.

Where have I said that its only us needing to rebuild? Where have I said we can't make top 6? In fairness none of us knows exactly what our budget will be, let alone the budgets or our rivals so thats a moot point. All the clubs in the division face the same challenges and recruitment will be...

I think there is no question that TM is the better manager, the stats speak for themselves, but we do need a lot of new players so once again it all comes down to recruitment. SP/SW got our recruitment badly wrong last season and we almost paid the price. I've no doubt TM has contacts and an eye...

From a purely selfish point of view the airport site would work great for me, i've got a bolthole at Princethorpe so a doddle to get to Bagington. Still don't think it will happen but it is a lot better suggestion than any of the other sites mentioned.

With kids this good we only need 10!

Err no?? Calm down dear. Purely curiosity as to whether we could field an entire squad of academy graduates thats all. The one positive (in my view) of the last few seasons is that we have had a few local lads pushing on to the first team.

I have to hold my hands up and say im not that clued up on our reserve/under 21/whatever you want to call it squad. Just wondered if we could actually put out a full match day squad consisting only of academy graduates and what that might look like. ..............Burge...

True but they still averaged crowds of 30k-ish during their prem season in 2006-07

Very little collateral against which to secure the debt though, the playing squad and a few cones aint worth much

Sheff U would surely be one of the clubs an investor would look at ahead of us...................... biggish fan base, were in the prem not that long ago, finished 5th last term etc etc

No point in me having a season ticket as work and family commitments (and living 120 miles away) mean I can't get to many home games. I am feeling a lot more positive though and will go to as many away games as i can plus the 3 or 4 home games that i usually manage.

Well, only in as much as the club needs income, to be able to invest in the team, in order to perform better on the pitch. So either supporters take a leap and buy season tickets by their thousands and pack the Ricoh every single week OR the club generates income by other means (or put their...

Can't argue with that.

I'm not saying that we should or shouldn't. The club needs a greater level of income in order to make it sustainable. The chance to own the Ricoh has gone and building a new stadium looks to be far from straightforward so surely we must consider alternatives.

I agree about the need for a "home" in order to build the brand and focus attention. Its just a question of whether that can be achieved within the confines of a rental agreement with Wa.... that rugby club. Perhaps if we were generating income from housing/retail/hotel etc independently of our...

I'd be happy with Loach as first choice keeper, would prefer Lonergan though. I'd take Peter Clarke and while we are picking over Blackpools misfortune id also take David Perkins.

Crikey, i never expected such a response, it was just curiosity on my part really. For the record I'm certainly not against us having our own stadium (or a share in the Ricoh), just wondered whether income could be generated from other sources.

I think the knives would be out from some sections of the crowd regardless of what he said. I have no doubt the knives will be out at some point this season even if we are doing well. I am not saying we arent capable of promotion this season, all teams are before the season begins, but i also...

I might be talking out of my arse here but I was reading something this morning that sparked half an idea in the 'ol grey matter. The article was about a small business that had diversified in order to survive the crash, realising that their premises were only used for their core business...
