Not sure. Remind me who was in it

I think you’re in agreement with me. We had to start all over again because last year’s loan gambles didn’t quite get us near to promotion. If and only if.... it’s a judgment call, given last year, I’m not bothered about gambling on Kane thingy or Connor Cov or anyone else now.

I do see this and agree about the merit of all three but IMO there’s no way that Sterling would have survived that traumatic start to the season without an understanding that he was a guaranteed starter despite his early form.

Yep they got promoted. It’s a gamble. Our three best players were the loanees last year but all have moved on without us. As the gamble didn’t pay off we were not even at square one but in a worse position recruitment wise. We had to replace both them and the squad players they replaced in the...

Of course you’re right which is why on balance I wouldn’t bother and would rely on players with a stake in the future of our club rather than someone else’s.

I’m increasingly of the opinion that loaning players from clubs in higher leagues is a waste of time - unless they are actually good enough to make the difference in getting promotion (or preventing relegation), they are counterproductive. Take last season and our recruitment of Sterling on...

Wasn’t it a chair?

Glad we’re not in the Premier League circus but not happy that we are in the circs we are, and certainly not satisfied with yesterday’s failure to trouble the scoresheet.

Yep. Ours was cancelled while we were on it. Uber now

See Stockdale get involved in the melee when Bham lost to Portsmouth in the week? Dangerously close to head butting his own player at one point.

Presumably this means we can strengthen in January if we progress in the Cups.

Also his twitter feed now links to a different insta a/c (livroyal - who def doesn’t seem to be the woman on his arm on that photo with the bloke w the dodgy syrup). It’s all v curious.

It’s possible and highly illegal. In the early 1990s a LibDem Council candidate was found guilty of stealing voting cards from an old peoples’ home in Sheffield with the intent of using them to boost his own vote. Sentencing him with a hefty fine the magistrate suggested he look up the words...

Yep. It’s called personation.

As in “let’s sign the bloke who kept me out of Coventry’s starting XI for the last third of the season”. Can’t see it myself.

Stockport’s problems came to a head when a Rugby club bought their ground and squeezed them out. After the franchise rugby club moved on again, Stockport slowly began to recover. The only problem was they had fallen three leagues below the EFL by that point.

Someone just misread the “call to arms” thread.

Ditto. Was brilliant in League Two. Developed his game in League One last season but some were expecting him to be Maradona in his first full season. Overall he was much better than we expected and that’s a very bright sign. Has a cutting edge that many of his type of player lack. Good luck to...

“League One and League Two Clubs will have until 5pm on Monday 2 September, 2019, due to August 31 falling on a Saturday.”

And the loan window?
