    Just a quick question.......

    Another question is one of maths: Let’s say SISU buys the arena and Wasps become renters. Does the rent CCFC pay plus the other income streams that are associated plus rent Wasps would pay create enough money to service a (say) £40m debt? SISU should have access to funds, and let’s say the...

    Tim Fisher interview in The Athletic

    Right, SISU with Ranson then Ken and Ogwe and the rest made a real hash of things in the early days. We could list the mistakes - they are many. Fisher was part of the set up but it’s unclear how much of a steer he has / had. To be fair, he’s taken some flak over the years but seems to have...

    What about Joe Rodon his horse with spurs.

    Transfer Shouts

    Yes. He’s 21 and had little top level football development - he’s been studying at Uni (which to me shows some character). He’s on a free and right in our doorstep. As for plan B, we can’t even have plan A if Gyok is unavailable. We need not just a plan B but a C D E and F-in F. I still...

    He is a free agent from just down the road. I really hope we haven’t let one go from under our noses.

    Transfer Shouts

    That he is tall is his main attribute - given. He made a great pass through early on for Dallas and ran around and pressed. He scored a goal few would unless they can leap up to 6 feet 10. I agree, when he went off Moors had lost their main defensive dead-ball cover and attack dead ball...

    Transfer Shouts

    Ridiculous and clearly tongue in cheek. Due to their locality and level, I’d be offering Hilssner on loan plus an under 23 on loan and absorbing their wages for a transfer for Dallas or Hudlin and have them as u23. Don’t buy a ticket, don’t win the balloon. Just that.

    “Our Budget, our budget” The same gripe that many Champ teams have before they spend beyond their means and implode. “Luton’s budget, Luton’s budget”. Ok?

    Transfer Shouts

    Did anyone else watch The Conference play off final? I watched because I miss proper footer and to see if Grimsby’s McAtee was a shout or Solihull’s Dallas or Hudlin. I know it’s a low level but the Stuart Pearce’s, Jamie Vardy’s and Sam McAllum’s of this world do exist. The three mentioned...

    I said he was worth a look. Local lad, at uni, might develop in our u23’s with the right training.

    Transfer Shouts

    1st June. Isn’t this when lots of contracts expire, or in other cases where contracts have less than a year to run etc. If there’s going to be an early signing it’d be about now, right? Probably a fair bit of activity out there in the football leagues today - pictures may become clearer.

    Transfer Shouts

    I would have liked Huddersfield to have gone up so that Duane Holmes was further down their pecking order. Him on loan / sensibly priced perm would be great IMO. He would suit our style of play.

    Transfer Shouts

    I came on here to post about McAtee, but others have beat me to it. 22 he is - right age, playing in a division where he’s used to getting lumps kicked out of him rather than some prem U23’s. Worth a punt. Scored some goals this season. As an aside, not bothering to watch the Champ League...

    I said at the time: Signing Waghorn and letting Biamou go was a strange decision: It left us with only Gyok as a striker with any physicality, particularly after we also let Baka go. Waghorn’s signing fee, agent fee(?) plus wages could have been better spent on Max PLUS a young prospect...

    Can never understand the “bomb squad” tactic with players. There are very few that are going to say “ok I’ll write of a s*** load of money to play elsewhere”. Bogarde was an early example, Rodwell above also. Our players should be assets that we treat as such. There’s a better way...

    Ex Player Watch

    Some players genuinely need a good 1-3 years to totally get over their injuries but because of the nature of pro football they rush / feel rushed / are pressured by clubs and agents to try to get back playing too quickly and cause more damage. Jodi, Allasini are sort of examples, but there are...
