    Doug King Takeover

    Yeah, I'm not sure King will really make that much of a difference. No idea how much he might be willing (or able) to put in for transfers etc. but I can't believe it'd be a great deal. But it's hardly likely to be less than it was before. At least we can now categorically say Gyok isn't leaving...

    Doug King Takeover

    Now the takeovers gone through we can all go balmy.

    Transfer Rumour Josh Wilson-Esbrand

    Something that fits into Circle in the Sand by Belinda Carlisle?

    Gyokeres to Everton- Two in exchange?

    I can see no reasons why you'd do that, cos there are no reasons.

    Massive clear out needed.

    Fair enough. I think £20-£25 a game is reasonable. Up to £30 as long as the club say they're aiming to push towards play-offs promotion. £33 for Cat A games this year is too high IMO. How would you feel about PRP - performance related pricing? Charge high but offer discounts for future years if...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Has anyone mentioned Trump MkII in Brazil? Another far-right conspiracy with no evidence looking to overturn democracy. Disgraceful.

    That’s on Robins

    I get that, but the fact that they'd be up for it from the start is even more reason to start with a stronger team so the quality negates that effort. Then as they tire (and hopefully lose confidence as we get the better of them) you should be able to take those players off with 30-45mins left...

    Massive clear out needed.

    It's going to be a hard sell to massively increase prices during a cost of living crisis and possible recession. Especially if our best players are being sold and we have an uncertain summer rebuild ahead of us. Surely there has to be a point where the game turns round and tells players their...

    Massive clear out needed.

    I'm pretty sure a study said that the post-war generation were the best generation to be in terms of financial improvement as they have had the NHS, the sell off of council houses and the most generous state/private pensions and assistance package than any other generation before. Future...

    Injuries

    But you can be fit and still putting your body under enormous strain by overworking it, eventually resulting in injuries. Even if people are looking at MR for that, it must surely come with a big caveat of him having little choice due to a small budget. He then either has to make the choice of...

    Gyokeres to Everton- Two in exchange?

    I think the decision to make the U21/23 rather than a reserve league has actually been detrimental to development. It's basically mollycoddling the players and they don't have experience of competitive first team football and so making that jump up is much harder. What do most clubs do with a...

    Massive clear out needed.

    It's something I really can't get my head around. Our crowds are pretty decent for the division yet our wage spending is always one of the lowest because we can't afford to spend more. So how come others can then? I think chances are most are spending beyond their means but then why aren't they...

    Positives from yesterday

    They're non-league, but they're not part-time.

    Gyokeres

    While I agree he isn't a great finisher and is quite predictable in how he plays, he is bloody good at what he does. I'd be fuming for less than £15m and would hope for £20m + sell-ons

    Match Thread Wrexham FA Cup match

    Fair play to Wrexham. They had a go and didn't just sit back once they took the lead. They did the old gamesmaship of having cramp and timewasting near the end, which annoys you as afan on the opposite side but are livid if your own team don't do exactly that in the same position. They had...

    Massive clear out needed.

    It shows that a massive clearout is on the cards, but it's likely to be in the summer rather than now. Can't see any teams wanting to take on the contracts of players even if we let them leave for free. Even if the takeover happens, I think the amount of money available will be pretty minimal...

    Fabio Tavares

    Didn't make much of an impact during his time on the pitch but feel for him with the injury. As soon as he went down I thought he'd done his achilles and that's got to really hamper someone who's main asset is their pace. He really needed a loan out to L2 or something to play regularly this...

    Dabo, Moore and Kelly

    I think it shows we need to have a massive squad overhaul in the summer. Kelly just isn't up to it anymore. Waghorn as well isn't having enough of an effect on games, certainly at his purported wages. Dabo I wonder if he'll ever be fully fit again and if he's not at peak fitness he's not good...

    Dabo, Moore and Kelly

    Well given our defending from set plays you can hardly blame him for thinking he'd seen definitive proof of fairies.
