I didn't want to go into it too much as getting well ahead of ourselves but always interesting to see if people agree. I think it would largely look like this... (first choice named first) Rushworth/Dovin MvE/KKH Thomas/Woolf New CB/Kitching New LB/Dasilva New CM/Grimes New CM/Torp Rudoni/BTA...

Rudoni will start for us in the Prem 100%

I see there are a mental amount of them saying the goal should have been disallowed, someone is saying scissor kicks could kill someone :LOL:

I'm trying to remove my sky blue tinted glasses and i still can't see how BTA is a shithouse. Sounds like a funny read though, might have a look. Edit: It's not all about him being a shit house, its a continuation of an old thread where they were linked with him. They should look closer to home...

Luton didn't even do that did they?

He's highly rated for sure and Frank made sure to have a good chat with him at the end of the Boro game i seem to recall. Heard he did it with Louza too, clever i think.

I'd have a rule to exclude those of course. I'm not that fussed by many tbh even from clubs that may follow us up. Could probably crack out a shortlist of about 10 and work from there.

We have more players with that little bit of sparkle that could stick around imo. I certainly think our entire best 11 as is will make the matchday squad even if only 4 of them end up starting. We should concentre our funds on 6/7 real quality players and trust the rest, rather than spreading...

Ipswich went with the failed strategy of buying what they saw as the best players from The Championship. It's not a recruitment strategy i'd go near, i'd say 2 maximum. This is a thread i have planned for the end of the season if we go up btw. 'Which 2 players would you take up with us?'

Don't get me wrong i'm not tuning into their games and leaping out of me seat, it's just the hope isn't it, the last 3 or 4 seasons it had just looked absolutely hopeless for teams coming up out of the Championship. Maybe they've just all been shite and had shite recruitment.

I agree, i'm actually enjoying Sunderland doing well which i didn't think i'd ever say. Also agree that the strategy should stay the same but obviously at a higher level.

The Prem has changed so much we'd see spending we've never seen in our Iives so the summer would at least be very exciting even if the final outcome was getting panned most weeks and finishing third from bottom.

That was my exact thinking.

2 at most, 1 more likely.

I don't think I said we'd get relegated. My main line was I didn't think the players were as bad as some were making out and I thought another manager (assume correctly chosen manager) could get more from them. That was it really. I also noted that people were starting to get really fed up going...

OK yeh fair enough, I'm just commenting from my point of view. As you know I'm active on most threads, some may say too many!

Not many people have said that, his time here was clearly up though.

I just had to argue against a lot of people who didn't agree so had to repeat myself a lot. King got the decision and the replacement bang on.

He was great and I didn't want him out from the get go, I wanted him to complete the journey. I am a Coventry fan though, not a Robins fan and unlike most who wanted to blame literally everything else, I could see he'd lost it and needed moving on. I can accept the emotion some had and most had...
