I mean, there's some truth in what you say but I don't think it's always the case that it's harder the more you go up the pyramid. MR isn't stupid - he'll know that when your crown jewels play well and put themselves in the window, you need to plan for what's likely going to be an inevitable...

I should also add that the above isn't guaranteed to happen everytime and maybe if we do lose CoH, we do go backwards. The most recent history has told us to trust MR and his team to get it right, when we lose such a key player.

Of course it's relevant. When we've lost/not kept the likes of Walsh or McNulty, we've not gone backwards. We've managed to bring in players to replace them that have helped us move up the leagues/league table.

They're fair points. But you don't need to sign a Gyo or Hamer every summer - it's nice but not essential. I know we need to move forward and bringing in better players but brining in a Gyo or Hamer every summer doesn't necessarily equate to progression. MR and his team have demonstrated time...

But when has the squad regressed in the last 5 years, when we've sold our better players (arguably lesser players than CoH but important players at the time)?

The words you used were 'They don’t really give a toss about the strength of the squad'. If they didn't, they wouldn't have paid money for Hamer, no?

Interesting that your profile pic is Hamer? What did we buy him with - magic beans?!

Didn't one of the ITTs say we had already turned down £5m?

I would caveat that with, the price of everything is going up. I know it might not sound much but looking at hotel accommodation rates for all my teams for next season, quotes are up to 20-30% by and large. Gas/Elec, Food, Staff costs - hotels are passing them on. It'll be the same for...

Yeah that's fair. I guess with his injury record, would we get a full season out of him (and I'm a massive fan of his)? I think with CoH - yes he's a vital part of the team, is exciting, hard working and fits in well with the team - I just think that some on here think he's the only player with...

Will be gutted if CoH does go but it at least seems we're not accepting the first offer that comes in and we're pushing back more than we did before. If I'm honest, I think losing Gyo would be a bigger blow so if this means we keep Gyo and have money to buy a suitable replacement (as suitable...

EPL teams pre-season tours can be booked a year or two in advance but this is rare. They tend to be tied into sponsorship deals so if one of your main sponsors is a Thai company for example, you'll likely head out to Thailand as part of your preseason. For the majority of clubs - all EFL and...

No way! Did she enjoy?

Crying? Wank? Crying wank?

Sorry my man...i read it in a hurry and took it the other way. Apologies from me :)

I'm good.

The one good thing I'd say about O'Hare (and you can copy/paste this post into the Hamer/Gyo bid threads) is they're getting stuck in with pre-season, seem happy in what they're doing and aren't causing any issues. Some players if they knew there's interest in them and they wanted to go for 3...

We're so far behind Rangers and Celtic - in every sense. Credit to the OP for starting something a little different but it's not even a contest.

Defo some illegal betting going on here.

I would love to be in your camp. To be fair, I was pretty optimistic on keeping all 3 until SBB's post above.
