£1m release fee in his contract apparently. I think we need to do a bit of gazumping. Would suit us.

He’s our only real slight hope of scraping the play-offs. Our squad is more competitive with McNally in and Fadz due back so why not be ambitious? If we give Vik a raise of whatever we were paying Waghorn then that’ll be good business.

So if a ticket was 22p and is now (say) £22, the transfer fee of £90000 we got for Gould that year would be £9m? Or is that not how old money worked?

SISU didn’t have the money. They signed an exclusivity arrangement which stopped them constructively talking to people like Doug. SISU had put what basically was a “come and buy us and the stadium” article out in the Times. Their intent was clear. Mad Storey pitched and locked SISU into an...

Looking back, so many mistakes, so many idiots. Out of the main characters, what was the worst mistake of each of them? Joy for not buying the Higgs share back for pittance and probably paying that amount several times over in rent and lost revenue? Igwe and saying Sky Blue Sam was too fat...

For some reason Peterborough always seem to end up with high scoring strikers and useless defence. Maybe it’s a strategy - get the striker high in the scoring charts - sell on - go again. Does JCH take all their penalties and in-range free kicks? Toney Godden Marriott MacLean Assombalonga

Makes you wonder what the “real” attendances were back then. A fair few knocked off by turnstile guys putting a few £ in their pocket. A few “squeezes” where two got in for one, a few over the fence, under the gate… And then, by the time the money got to the counting office, how much was...

If Hudds go down and we want a replacement for Allen I think their Duane Holmes would suit our style of play.

Kelly?

Wilson 8 Clean sheet and can’t remember him doing anything wrong. Couple of good saves, good positioning so an 8 Doyle 6 Some good play, some bad. Clean sheet but wasn’t really put under pressure. McNally 8 Great debut. Some vital interventions and the defence was by far the better with him...

Maybe Begovic on loan.

Selling Gyok would be madness. We need our Championship status and the TV income that brings. Plus, the value of the goodwill element of this football club on the balance sheet is probably halved at L1. DK must know this. Best money spent this window would be to increase Viks wages and extend...

I must say Doug does seem to have aged 10 years in 3 months poor fella. That’s what owning CCFC does to you.

Does seem odd. Always thought that the 15% thing was held to be paid off at £whatever balanced SISU’s books upon Prem promotion. Maybe it all got a bit complicated and messy behind the scenes / put off lenders / other investors having SISU involved. The Prem promotion bonus (presumed else why...

Mark Robins in his pre-match video interview saying that Huddersfield have brought back some player from Wimbledon that was on loan. Anyone know anything about him?

If he’s another attacking midfielder / play just behind Vik he at least gives us options. We could actually do with another DM to play alongside Sheaf, or, if desperate put Kelly there as a sub second half. Put Gus RWB (his original position). I think he could do well whipping the ball into...

Oxford ave attendance is 8100 Notts Country is also over 8100 in last 10 matches. About the same FWIW. (Source footballwebpages) Totally irrelevant and of course L1 is a higher playing standard. Just thought it an unusual stat that non-league teams are getting high attendances. I’m sure...

Malta maybe as they have English schools and his Dad is from (grandparents still living there etc.?) there. As a Maltese international I guess he could get around any work permit issues? Otherwise I’d agree.

It’s a shame because if they paid him up and he was a cheap free signing you’d almost want to get him back in here (would of course need to see if he has regained his mobility in the first instance) Problem though is that he doesn’t suit our formation. We don’t play with wingers and our AM’s...

But back on CCFC, the last time we had a change of owner Dowie was sacked and replaced with Coleman. We were about 12th in the table. Higher than we are now. This was only a few months after we’d paid Dowie’s Legals and turned down potential compo from (Mandaric?) Leicester. Poor SISU decision...
