I’m pleased with the first 2 signings. I still Think we will add 2 more attackers, 1perm and 1 loan. This is so important. One of the reasons Vik got frustrated last season ( his injury aside ) was that teams started to double up on him as he was our single biggest threat. Hamer then stepped...

No sign of @GIMOC tonight ? 🤷🏽‍♂️

It’s unrealistic to expect Kelly to contribute this season. His mind is in turmoil over the increase in corporate box prices. 😜

Ideally yes. someone with more legs and physicality …: at times we are neat and tidy but can get bossed by more mobile and physical midfields ….

By Alan Nixon Coventry City are back in the chase for Burnley centre half Luke McNally - and keen to push ahead of Millwall in the race. The Sky Blues had McNally on loan last season but may try to buy him now, with funds expected for new players - possibly paid for by a sale. McNally has...

Best finisher at the club. However lacks the physical attributes to trouble defenders. Totally reliant on service.

Dawkins is a really bitter little man isn’t he. the tweet is to suggest King has over payed for Simms.

Sadly not true. I whole heartedly agree re how poor the CET coverage is but if you look at other regional titles they are now all much of a muchness. They are mainly owned by the same company, Reach PLC. These titles are struggling to survive now. No one buys cars, houses, etc from their local...

Burroughs needs a L2 loan

I’d sooner secure the right targets late than the wrong targets early. the former gives you a short term integration problem, the latter a multiples seasons long problem stay patient

I think the issue with 5 is that you start each season with half a team to replace … you are not building any solid foundations. 2 to 3 top quality loans should be our limit really if we want to improve the quality of the assets we own.

Clubs don’t wait to complete transactions before making bids for players. If West Ham want Vik his agent, and probably our club, will already know.

Fair point. The fact we loan so many young players from the Premier League would in theory block their progress, however in reality when we loan our academy players out very few are really successful, which would also suggest a quality issue.

Free transfers and free agents are the same thing. Players currently without a club. the quality of the player will determine his ability to extract a higher salary and signing on bonus on the basis there is no transfer fee.

Vik not wanting to go to the Prem isn’t new news. His dad was openly telling fans that he thought Vik shouldn’t risk becoming a squad player in the premier league so close to the Euro’s …..

In simple terms the more followers you have who engage more often, the higher the advertising revenues you can attract, the more likely you are to sell your merchandise, etc

This is about commercial revenues not on pitch performances. GIMOC is right on field does help off field but as lots of those clubs show it’s not absolutely essential. This whole thread is about the divided opinions on whether King is right to look to shake up our off the pitch approach.

Portsmouth, Sheff Wed, Ipswich, Bolton, derby, Charlton, Barnsley …. yes some have been in the Premier League but in many cases not for a long time and in most cases they do not have the catchment area we do

The reason for clubs in L1 having better followings being ???
