    No ambition.

    I have resisted coming onto this thread. But basically, SISU have plenty of ambition for their hedge funds, it's just that not is not the same one as most of the fans. And for all the many explanations as to why people with lots of money invest in football clubs and then don't follow through...

    January Transfer Window

    If SISU sold us, they then have to find another vehicle to dump profits (in the form of loans) with which to avoid tax on the profits in their other investments. They may as well stick with the one they have.

    Actually, and this is rare, I fancy us to beat a well placed team away from home. 0-1.

    Bidwell

    Wrong. Loans are an absolutely essential part of the mix. Usually among the best players in the team and freshen up the squad. They are also a flexible & low risk source with potential for long term recruitment (O'Hare, Sheaf, Gyokeres). We needed all 5 last season to stay up - James did us a...

    Bidwell

    oN Bidwell: He may be pemanent, but is he an upgrade on the three loans, Sam Mac, Ryan Giles and Maatsen? Unlikely.

    McNulty Article

    Getting that money for McNulty was one of the best bits of business we've done in the last few years. Reading were clearly stupid, it was pretty obvious at the time he was not that standard. Lovely jubbly. Beginning to look as though cash for Bayliss is also looking a good deal. Good selling...

    Match Thread Stoke match thread

    All I can think is that this is the 4th season in 5 where we have reached February and still have something positive to play for - promotion/play offs. And even last season's survival was just a necessary bridging season to the new level were at. And we are much better established than under...

    8 points better off

    O'Hare, Sheaf and Hamer are probably our three most valuable players. They all play in midfield (before you quible they are none of them out and out strikers nor defenders, ergo they are midfielders) They all score high ratings match in match out particularly O'Hare and Sheaf We don't score...

    Hamer - no he wasn't. he got a very tricky bouncing ball from short range which Grant was able to nick off him. It was a 50/50 ball. The problem was the poor downward headed clearance

    Match Thread Cov vs QPR Sat 22nd Jan

    Hope for a draw, fear a loss. They are arguably second only to Fulham in this league. They will miss Chair badly as he seems to create pretty much everything - so there is a glimmer of hope. MacF to return, but I would stick by Shipley as he played so well, and give Bidwell the chance to look...

    Walker to pompey

    You miss the point entirely, but hey ho. We have a midfield triangle of O'Hare behind the strikers, with Sheaf (who does get forward, see the Godden goal on Sat,) and Hamer as central midfield. If we play 1 striker, Allen bolsters the midfield. Just where is this AM going to go? If he is any...

    Walker to pompey

    How are we short an AM - Hamer, Sheaf, O'Hare? Allen there for cover.Who are you going to drop? Left back / let wing back was the big hole. I'd leave it at that and save the cash for summer to upgrade the back three.

    Transfer Rumour Jake Bidwell - Confirmed

    On topic tho, how can people be so sure this Bidwell acquisition is a good deal? I admire the self-confidence. We know we need a left back / left wing back, that is agreed. But that is it. How good is he, well who knows? The chart up thread doesn't look promising. He is in effect a 'Swansea...

    O'Hare's was a bad miss. Allen's was a snap shot from a difficult angle - excusable
