Yeah don’t disagree. Unless we got a very rich owner in the summer and got it all sorted which is unlikely, we can’t really afford to throw all the money away like Forrest did in the first year especially when we need the money to improve a lot of the infrastructure around the club imo.

Looking at it, think pragmatism is a thing all the teams who went up (bar cooper’s Leicester) lacked. You need to stink up the place at times and think a modern example is Brentford who happily swap to a back three and go long when needed what has paid dividends for them. Hope if we go up, we...

So based on Saddles list. This is who I would target if in the championship next season. Owen Peck (Liverpool) LB Harry Darling (Free) CB Brodie Spencer (Huddersfield). Back up RB Kwame Poku (Compensation) RW Think Owen and Spencer would cost a fair bit but Owen is ooc next year so...

Would like Brodie Spencer if the plan is to find a young RB in league one/two. Pacy wingback and twenty years old. https://footystats.org/players/northern-ireland/brodie-spencer

Don’t mind me just going to look at Barnsley’s squad for a right back 🤣

Yeah that’s the problem. As much as it makes sense to all of us and probably anyone from the outside, I just worry with the arena every time it’s mentioned.

I know I’m being silly but the longer this drags on the more anxious I get.

Thanks Pete as always.

Good third option. Wonder if we did want to move from Ryton where we would go. Assumed we would have moved to a spot owned by the Warwick university when we were on about the stadium. At least that or the Alan Higgs

I thought the 90 comes from the play offs final itself but never looked into it. Thanks for the info.

True on the renting, thought to ask the question as while I get that angle. I’m still unsettled by the arena and would just love to get it sorted once and for all. Of course no reason why we can’t do both. If I’m not wrong isn’t promotion via play offs worth £190 mil?

Curiously if we did go up, would be people prefer we spent a lot of that money and made a real go of it or went more the Luton route and purchased the CBS?

Think it’s a bit of a trap as there are players like Delap who can step up but it takes time which newly promoted sides don’t have as it’s a baptism of fire. Think you need to get an experienced spine in to get the levels up. I think we have a few that could step up but don’t know if they could...

Sheaf goes you probably will need an understudy for Grimes as you say. Don’t think it’s beyond the realm of possibility we see both Eccles and Sheaf going

On loans there’s just not many who wouldn’t either have a high cost or high playing demands who would take us to the next level to throw the money away. Not going to say there are no loan players we could have benefited from but they are hardier to bring in which is what Austin was saying at...

Personally I just double down 🤣

Thought fun to have a quick look to see if I could find players for this. Assuming we are playing in the championship next season. 1) Owen Beck - Out of contract at Liverpool next season so might be willing to sell. 22 years old. 82% for dribbles per 90, 91% for successful, 83% for crosses and...

What’s with the weird shark fins

If I’m not wrong the stadium was originally going to be 45,000 with two tiers of stands. Would need a lot of work but I guess it’s pretty much the same design? So expansions would be possible. But let’s be honest, A we would need to stay in the prem for a couple of seasons so the extension...
