Exactly, when bidding for players DK won't want clubs knowing we've just pocked an extra "x" £M.

Only guaranteed away tickets? What about the executive chauffeur travel that was previously supplied? 😉

Vik is now 27 and his next contract is the one that sets him up for life. talk of him staying in Lisbon is interesting, but can they offer him £250k per week? I doubt it. Secondly, only Lisbon and PSG , Arsenal of the clubs rumoured to be interested can offer Champions league football next...

I'm beginning to wonder if our recruitment team is on commission from Barnsley? ;)

I would guess that in the case of two clubs bidding against each other for Vik. They will both offer the agreed "release" amount, which reports suggest is less than the stated release fee AND Vik and his agent will pocket the extra funds in a bidding war.

I was relaxed about the timeline for renewal, until my wife pointed out how forgetful I’m getting. Hence renewed yesterday before dementia really gets hold

It would be stupid to sell Rudoni to another championship club, if we are serious about trying to get promotion. His value is not going to decrease in another year [unless he gets a serious injury]. If he goes to PL club or abroad for a very high fee, then that's slightly more understandable.

I've seen it within my work at football clubs. I agree that it is a really tough sector to be working in. Many of those players will have been connected with a club from the age of 7 or 8 years of age. They'll envisage a career of professional football and just one bad injury, their whole...

On any Saudi investment into another football club, there are a few things to question. The Saudi Public Investment Fund [PIF] in effect owns NUFC & funds 4 clubs in the Saudi League. Hence, I question whether it's the PIF looking to buy another club in England, as they'll be a conflict of...

Absolutely, creating water privatised monopolies with no free market competition was a license to make money for shareholders and CEOs. What is even worse is their failure to invest enough to deliver an effective service.

It seems that a lot of the speculation on here is linked to players we've seen in the EFL. However, one thing we have learned over the past couple of years is the recruitment team identifying players we've never seen or heard of. Torp, Tats, Dovin, etc. It'll be interesting to see what they come...

I think we need someone with a bit of class. Gary Gillespie springs to mind.

I’ve not read the previous 44 pages, but excuse my responses if it only repeats other posts. 1. They did their homework and “parked the bus”. 2. We were too slow in our approach play, as it allowed them to be set and double mark our creative players. 3. Our vulnerability to counter attacks is...

Personally, I would have a free season ticket…, so I’m all in favour

I’m expecting the Boro fans to cheer loudly when Collins is announced in the team tomorrow

The continued promotion of Collins on the basis that his distribution is good seems at odds to the primary function of a keeper. As Brian Clough stated the goalies job is to stop the ball going in the net. On that premise Collins should not be picked, as he consistently fails.

What makes you think that any other club would want him after his track record here?

I started watching city in 1966 and seen numerous keepers from Bill Glazier through to now. I remember Raddy A being dropped for the season by Bobby Gould for dropping a few clangers, but Collins has made far more mistakes and yet retained his place. IMO Collins is by far the worst keeper in my...

I wonder if it’s now occurred to Collins that he’s not suited to professional football? If so , he could do himself, his teammates a favour by handing in his retirement notice tomorrow morning ( with immediate effect)

Possibly because it’ll cost him a bonus payment for making the playoffs
