Every signing in football is a risk. There’s a lot of things that a different than our past recruitment policies: - we actually have a recruitment process now - players are being identified well in advance of the transfer window - Robins has a clear footballing philosophy and strategy I’m...

Nope. He’s a nice bloke, last time we met was talking to him and Duane Holmes in a services shortly after they beat us 3-1 in 2017.

Last season, and the one before in L2 our strategy of signing players for the development team was a sensible one. Last season we had McCallum, Thompson, Westbrook, Williams all come into the first team and play well. In the bigger picture, this was MR laying the foundations for us to build on.

Yes, because Bosma was very clearly signed to play first team football...

Jordan Clarke is taller than you’d think as we’re roughly the same height (went to the same school) and my height is 183cm which is about 6ft and a half. For the smaller men in this audience, 6” isn’t that tall.

10cm in height is a significant difference in height.

I've seen all 8 of his goals from lasts season, some impressive goals. He's a CM who gets in the box late and scores some goals a poacher would be proud of. I'm v happy with this signing!

Yes, frankly, he seemed smaller to me, but my season ticket was quite high up so everyone seemed a bit smaller to me.

He’s 1.8m which is about 5”11. Fleck is 1.7m, about 5”7 rounding up.

He also adds height to the side to, standing at about 6ft. Looks like a good signing

Wouldn’t be an improvement on what we have. Scored less than Chaplin and Bakayoko in L2. Not the kind of player we want.

Do we know if he hasn’t been invited back?

You’d think splurging £1m on players here there and everywhere is the only metric of investment. Very narrow mindset our fans have. In terms of on-field investment, our owners have been quite good for the last 3 seasons now (including this summer).

I 100% agree. I’m glad there’s growth across the board in a lot of women’s sports, greater exposure generates interest. Which will hopefully increase investment, participation and sponsorship into the women’s game. This is how the money will seep down to the players, as wages, male or female, is...

Exactly. He was involved with the SISU regime too so I’ve always been at least slightly suspicious in trusting him to run this club better than our current owners. The Preston Haskell saga was exciting, but trusting someone like Dale Evans? That was enough for me. He isn’t the knight in...

The more that comes out of this, the more I think SISU aren’t the bogey man they’re portrayed as. Certainly seems like there’s attempts to undermine the ownership of CCFC and enforce some sort of regime change. Last 3 seasons they’ve backed the manager, and we’re a club on the up. Wasps and the...

One massive way this isn’t the case... Australian women's national team lose 7-0 to team of 15-year-old boys For context, Australia were one of the favourites going into the Olympics.

If we don’t get Bright, I’d like to play 4-4-2 I think.

The council haven’t exactly been compliant? The RICOH wasn’t offered to the football club as it was with Wasps. Then there’s the difficulty of obtaining planning permission from a council who’s relationship with the club is sour. The council also quashed any moves to ground share with CRFC...
