    Waghorn to hudds

    Maybe him going to Huddersfield means we are getting Hudlin in return satire.

    Waghorn to hudds

    Matty James was 28/29? when he first joined us and was only short term. We elected to not blow the bank by matching whatever other offer he got. This makes giving a two year older Waghorn a high wage contract for 2 years even more strange. Some transfers turn out to be bad signings but mostly...

    It’s until the end of the season when I then think his contract runs out?

    Waghorn to hudds

    I don’t think there were tbh. We are a development club with what Boddy described as a “Brentford Model” aspiration. Most sensible people think that signing a full international in their early 20’s is better than signing a 31 year old with no resale value. Said it at the time abd will say...

    Transfer Shouts

    Well, Mendy has been found not guilty. Can’t see Man City playing him. Marlon King was guilty and all that. Just chucking this in for bait.

    New shares issued.

    No. But at a guess some kind of £35m debt swap for 85%. The other 15% is fixed at £30m that must be paid upon promotion to Prem. Some kind of inflation link on that. Just a guess to see how wrong I am in the event that it ever becomes known.

    Transfer Rumour Outgoings?

    I think the only issue is how much of Kane’s wages Charlie-town pays. Can’t see it being full up money which I think I’ve read somewhere was about £6-10k/w.

    New shares issued.

    So the club is capitalised at 65m? I’ve been shouted down for saying SISU had leveraged the club to £60m (not that that was the real value) I’ll look through later to see if I can get to grips with it but OSB seems to enjoy getting granular with the numbers and tbf does a sterling job so.

    Timothy Fisher RIP

    Wish him no ill will. Thankless task, better than Ken Deluded and a few before. Bottom line: better place now than when he stepped in. The journey was up and down but who else could have done a better job?

    Transfer Rumour Josh Wilson-Esbrand

    Can Panzo be sent back? Maybe we are swapping whatever we pay for Panzo to pay for Wilson-‘Edband.

    Lack of aggression in defence ?

    It’s when you need a goalie who runs off his line. Put two defenders on the posts and one to cover the centre / clear off line. If a goalie comes out and runs into a striker, more often then not the decision goes to the keeper. Moore was useless and stuck to his line. We have no idea how to...

    I just asked a question: should Sheaf move up to three Shredded Wheat or is that a corny idea?

    Gyokeres

    Sheaf is the most improved player over the last 12 months. He used to dither and pass backwards rather than forwards and pass when a shot was the best option. Despite that he showed some class which made his f—- ups all the more frustrating; there was clearly a decent player in there. He’s slim...

    I know we all want to prioritise this position or that but surely getting a solid 3rd 4th choice top Prem club keeper on loan for the rest of the season is a must. Chelsea have 8 keepers listed first team on Wiki (several also on loan like Baxter at Hull). Haven’t checked others - just Chelsea...
