    Doug King Takeover

    What is going on with the hair thing? Doug has more hair than anyone, ever, and his brother Will - not so. Is Doug going to to the Greggy Downs thing and run on the the pitch, pull off the wig…(I remember that as a kid, player ran out of the tunnel, big hair and me thinking, who’s that? Have...

    Doug King Takeover

    There was one thing that I did pick up on: 30000 students at Warwick Uni? Is that 10000 new students per year? If, by some quirk of fate (Mike Ashley kicks us out for example or hikes rent to daftville) and we do end up with a stadium there. (I know, unlikely, but then again so was playing at...

    Doug King Takeover

    Just watched both parts. Comes over as sensible. He has typical square mile phraseology and pronunciation (sidduashun, for situation type thing, was waiting for him to say “chariddee”). Seems to see this as a project in VC terms - buy in, improve, sell on for a profit. Similar ethos to SISU...

    Transfer Rumour Jamie Patterson

    I’ve read that about him which is why I wondered if he did do a stupid and come to Cov, meet his mates, quick pint which turned into shots, turn up to medical, alcohol showing up in tests, “sorry son not happening - let’s say no more - back to Wales for you” - Andy Turner rings for update “Not...

    Unsure if this is a wind up. It’s a bad state of affairs.

    Transfer Rumour Jamie Patterson

    Palmer is the type of player where a “shrewd” contract is key. He appears to need to be motivated - his first 60 mins versus Bristol C is an example - he was great. Motivate him with a contract geared to win bonus and starting bonus etc. and he may just find that extra zip. Some employees are...

    Transfer Shouts

    Unless the dual ownership is Doug King / Mike Ashley where Doug is the frontman and other clubs don’t realise that we actually have a billionaire owner in the background when negotiating transfers. That’d be fun.

    Transfer Shouts

    Ok then, the title of this thread is “Transfer Shouts” so here is my totally made up and probably unrealistic list of players that I think would be in wage bracket and would probably like to play in the Champ at a mid level team before progressing. All probably earning less than 5k / week and...

    Better news is that Robins is hinting at 2 being perms.

    Transfer Rumour Jamie Patterson

    I think whatever recruitment set up we have needs a clear set of guidelines about who to pursue and what kind of deals we would offer. It would save a lot of time looking at players that DK wouldn’t sign off.

    Maybe Cashman can be some kind of a loan makeweight in a transfer with a L1 . L2 or SPL club.

    Transfer Rumour Jamie Patterson

    He’s 32 this year and keeps picking up injuries. Time catches us all. Great in L1 for us and we will forever be thankful. First Championship season he was ok but of late, when playing, offered little aside from his finishing. If someone were to come in with £400k bid then it’d be offyego from...

    Transfer Shouts

    He’ll still be under 24 at contract end so he won’t go for nothing. £2m plus Walker?

    Transfer Shouts

    Anis Mehmeti. There’s a transfer shout. 22. At Wycombe and I think is the highest scoring midfielder in L1. Has played champ level. If we have a few quid then this fella might fit the bill. Good cover for O’Hare whilst he’s out and a good foil for Vik. Spending money on talented 22 year olds...

    Transfer Rumour Jamie Patterson

    Swansea should have took the money. Getting a decent fee for a player over 30 is rare. I didn’t write the rules - it’s just the way it is.
