Huddersfield is a fairly interesting case study: 19/20 Championship 23 0 413,210 17,966 18/19 Premier League 19 0 443,456 23,340 17/18 Premier League 19 1 456,796 24,042 16/17 Championship 23 0 467,887 20,343 15/16 Championship 23 0 290,505 12,631

Imagine how many we’d have won by if we weren’t playing Watford’s sub keeper in centre mid.

Feel like I suggest this every year, but Sam Surridge?

His name had cropped up when I was having a look previously, but a lot of chat he’s going to Fulham. Looks like he’d be a great addition as plays both sides despite being right footed, but likely beyond our reach.

I’ll play along with this as well. Dasilva 1 successful tackle per 90 - Bidwell 0.9. Dasilva tackle success 66.7% - Bidwell 53.2%. Dasilva 0.8 successful interceptions per 90 - Bidwell 0.6. Didn’t know how this would turn out before looking. Looks decent defensively as well. Stats don’t tell...

xA for the season of 3.6 - Bidwell was 3.4 Chances Created per 90 of 1.2 - Bidwell was 0.9 Big Chances Created was 2 - Bidwell was 0 Worth noting that Bidwell played around 1.5x the games when thinking about the season total stats as well.

I recall Hoffman discussed putting in place something similar, but your standard practice in a corporate sense would be essentially some form of profit-sharing arrangement. Can’t really do that with football clubs, mind.

My issue was always the entitled lot that turned up at big games and started getting on the team’s back if we weren’t 3-0 up inside 10 minutes. I think back to the Crewe game in the JPT as the prime example. None of that on Saturday though and all more than welcome back. I know of a couple ‘Man...

Says loans and signings.

McNally - 8/10 - very assured defensively, not brilliant on the ball but just about good enough. Would have him back next season. Doyle - 7/10 - may seem harsh but it was a season of two halves for him. Looked rather shaky early on in the season but ended looking very impressive. Very high...

What on earth are you chatting?

Sure someone said Tristen Batanwi looks a decent prospect. Would be far too soon, mind.

That’s the confusion. Everyone in the league gets the ‘PL solidarity payments’. It’s only used in the example to show the real-terms difference between winning and losing.

Indeed, but then factor in the returning loanees, Maguire, Rose, Dacosta, the fact we’ve probably not had Hilssner’s wage available all season. Incrementally adds up I’d expect.

Backwards logic. How often does a millionaire sell their Ferrari for a tenner?

Oh absolutely, but if we’re shedding the wages of Waghorn, Walker, Dabo, possibly Kelly, etc. then there’s probably another £60-70k a week.

Said before, use a lot of any money we bring in to bolster the wage budget for 3 years. Far more sustainable. £3m a season (£9m overall) roughly equates to an extra £60k per week. That’s 4 decent players at this level.

Coming around to the idea of keeping hold of Hamer and seeing if we can do it next year. He’s fantastic but there doesn’t seem to have been the fanfare around interested clubs and if we’re only looking at £4-5m then it may be worth the risk.

Last time we made wholesale changes to the squad we won the league…

Finn Azaz could be of interest. 22y/o Villa player who has spent the season at Plymouth. 34 games, 8 goals & 8 assists.
