Whilst I'm surprised by the length of the contract....it does show that the club are developing a positive working relationship with Hummel. The kits in the past couple of seasons have given the impression of trying to create a bespoke identity for the club, rather than the off the shelf look...

I heard he ran a good cleaning rota 😇

Lafferty sounds like a player who's the total opposite of someone who'd suit our squad. Avoid at all costs!

McCallum doesn’t practice the dark arts of negative football, so isn’t a good fit for Swansea. 😇

I hope we held out for a £2m transfer fee😇

I would welcome the view of the accountants that are members of this site on Stoke. In terms of the accounts for Stoke City, which show income of circa £50m, but operating costs of £141m and profit of player sales of £3.1m .....leading to a loss of £88m. Surely, SCFC don’t have physical assets...

My guess of the contractual agreement with Arsenal regarding Ben Sheaf is: * An initial loan fee paid pre-season, but offset against a final transfer payment if other clauses are achieved. * The clauses to include CCFC retaining Championship status - tick! * The number of games started by...

The rate of interest being charged tp the club against the loans is eye watering 14%, 11.4% & 19.5%.... ! These sorts of rates look more like pay day loans than a proper financial product. The clubs weakness is that we have no assets to secure a better rate of interest against. Until we can...

As other posters have said ...... the 20-21 accounts will be interesting as the big difference in revenue for being part of Championship compared to L1 will be telling. The question of how much did we increase expenditure to compete this past season? Overall the finances of football clubs is...

O’Hare is one of our few players who can inject pace into our play. If he moves on then I’m concerned that we will become a slow predictable team

Given that the season tickets/membership is very good value - especially compared to some other clubs in the Championship and we get a free shirt. I think it's inappropriate to be negative about a free shirt. Having said that....I preferred this years shirt, but I could use the new one for...

Whilst they'll be a lot of bluster and posturing from government regarding governance of football in England, I don't expect much to change....especially on the running of privately owned clubs. I can't see them legislating on the level of debt the company owning a football club chooses to...

I'm surprised that we would not want to match Bristols offer of a 3 year deal, albeit with clauses in case we get relegated. We gave Kastaneer a 3 year deal!!

Can we stop promoting ex-players as our next 1st team coach. We need the best possible person, who'll compliment the existing coaching staff and has 100% belief in the culture of the club. The best candidate could be someone who's never played at this level.

Given the failure of the recent takeover and the loss of the Keogh compensation case, which cost £2.6m And Derby being more closely scrutinised for FFP. Added to which, if they are hit with a 10 point deduction for next season, then any player moving there know they are in a relegation battle...

He was being smart, as he knows that he could get a new contract.....but onl if Sunderland stay in L1

I think we need a coach with attributes and skills that have been identified by MR as either missing or a weakness within the current coaching staff

I agree Eccles has shown real value to the team and looks ready to step up. What is most impressive is his versatility and for a young player stepping into the team at a crucial time he demonstrated he’s prepared to play whatever role for the benefit of the team.

I feel this shows the club are thinking strategically about the skills and knowledge they need to fill the gaps in the current coaching staff. High performance never stops evolving!

Whilst I did laugh when I saw the result. I did think the back pass wasn’t helpful to Burge ..... nice and slow 😉
