It’s a simplified version - but generally you can strengthen more positions until you have a team full of top players - sell one bring in 2. The model is essentially keep buying players to develop, by the time you’ve done the above 3/4 times you’ll have 11 peak players and the conveyor belt...

Depends on the situation don’t it. I love sheaf - don’t want to sell him, but if selling Sheaf brings in 15m - we can then buy 3 5m players. that way you’re building a better squads, like someone said - that’s the Brentford model and it’s relatively successful. Then next season you potentially...

To be fair it’s probably under selling him. We paid 4-5m for EMC - a player who is 3 years older and hasn’t played above league one., Rudoni has been Huddersfield’s best player for two years in the championship and has much more room to develop If we want him- it’s likely to be around the 5m mark

I’m not too keen on the greens policies on Child sexual predators. They want to rehabilitate, support and research them. I'm personally of the opinion that they can’t be rehabilitated. The idea of them potentially being out horrifies me

Need to remove business rates from NHS hospitals aswell. It’s criminal they have to pay them and private hospitals don’t as they’re “charities”

Nah it’s not relevant - generations are quickly moving away print tabloids so their influences is dying. I’d argue it’s another reason why millennials are the first generation not to become conservatives. Nobody outside of the older generations read the red top rags

Just like we did with Jodi Jones? There’s no way he wouldn’t get a new contract with Preston if he had an ACL injury. Sunderland did it with Willis aswell. No club going has turfed a player off following an injury like that

If he did his ACL there is no way on this earth Preston would rescind the offer. Especially to someone who’s played 300 games over 10 years or so

I’ve been querying King in this thread - but why is it worrying? Browne hasn’t signed for anyone yet.

There’s a lot Riding in it all being in place in 5 years - all the players contracts are 5 years, the arena lease is 5 years. it’s not so much getting promoted or not - it’s what’s gonna happens when our lease runs out, and there’s a chance nobody will want to buy us… which will leave us in the...

I am enjoying it - just don’t think we should be treating the man as a god that can do no wrong. I’m not to keen on being put back in the same position we were in 2019 in 4 years time

That’s the point? People like @Saddlebrains are being hammered for daring to criticise King or make these question if the concerns come to fruition - we’re literally no better off than we were with SISU. we’ve been here before, let’s at least learn from the past

none of them are making grand statements and targets of being in the top 6 in 3/5 seasons How many clubs have a lease running out in 4 years? Like I said. At the moment King is doing alright, the infrastructure is getting investment, and we’re acting more professional and a more premier...

But if he had no intention of investing we’re back in SISU territory aren’t we. Squad will go backwards, and we’re ticking down to leaving the CBS again

It’s a target. Something that Robins is measured on, he needs to give the tools to robins to hit it. If he gives robins 2m for instance and we’re 19th after 15 games, and King sacks him - are we still behind King?

I’ve said he’s started well. But so did SISU. Currently we have 4 more years left at the Ricoh, all of our signings are geared for 5 years. The guy wants us in the top 6 3/5 seasons - 3/4 now. I’m saying if you’re making them promises you have to match the fans. what’s the plan in 4 more...

I’m not saying I’m against King - but I’m still wary, SISU started well enough, invested in young players with resale with the aim of developing and selling on and then restarting the process. He’s the one demanding FA Cup runs and play offs regularly - that requires investment. Now last year...

What’s a load of tosh? King has walked into the jackpot - Robins had us doing a miracle, we got to the play off and King got 35m in assets. to his credit he’s allowed us to spend the 35m we brought in whilst demanding 3 appearances in the play offs In 5 years- that requires significant...

VAR didn’t overrule the initial decision either. If it’s close - linesmen are told to keep their flag down and use VAR. it’s easier to disallow than the alternative. See Bayern v Real Madrid. Wright was offside - millimetres, if he’d have hung back 0.5 of a second we’d be in the final. Just...

Ironically I’m sure we got a few signings in early that season. Didn’t McNulty sign at the end of May?
