It's a last gasp desperate attempt that won't come to anything. Everton already met with the PL last month I think to discuss their financial situation and nothing came of it. Equally a lot of their losses are Covid/stadium related - the latter of which FFP adjustments will be made.

It's picked up a lot in recent years. Their average attendance for the past few seasons (excluding the Covid season obviously) has been in and around the 35k mark. Pretty good considering Elland Road's capacity is just under 38k. Granted in the years before that it was low though.

Forest vs Sheffield United predictions?

Not really. It entirely depends on the parent club and their personal circumstances. Some hold off on sending their players out on loan until they finalise their own business - so not to leave them short in a particular position. Which is why you often see a number of loan deals secured in...

Our form had dropped off long before Bidwell even arrived at the club so that's rubbish.

As others have said he's had a fantastic season for Blackburn - I believe he was voted their POTS - and as a result, I suspect he'll be looking to break into Brighton's first team next season.

Nice to see you're back after your time away. Has the embarrassment gone away yet?

We don't really have a model though. It's just do the best we can with what we have. With regards to the proactivity side of things though, the club can't be proactive all the time. They also have to be reactive as well and Kane is a classic example of the recruitment team reacting to a change...

I know upon his signing it said the fee was undisclosed, but did we actually pay a fee for him or did we just take over his contract?

Perhaps, but it's about what's available at that particular time and who's on the club's radar.

He only has a year left on his contract?

He was likely never brought in as a long term option. The fact he was put on a 2-year contract pretty much proves that. Management teams sometimes have to take a chance on lesser quality players just to fulfil a role and act as a stopgap for a year or two - giving them time to either identify...

Don't disagree with this. He was brought in to fulfil a role and he's done that. Obviously the management team would've been well aware of his attitude issues when he became available but we needed support in that position and he had plenty of Championship experience. So sometimes when these...

That pitch was a swamp that day.

This is a bit ridiculous. We've stuck by him through three ACLs. We've also been lauded by commentators, people within the industry and the national media for this as most clubs would've likely let him go years ago. Regardless on my views on how well he's been handled this season, it's...

I think it was around £300k.

Obviously wouldn't want to replace Robins unless something went catastrophically wrong. But I'm a big fan of Neil Critchley's.

Absolutely not.

No one has said he's a missed opportunity? You seem to be veering off from the initial arguement. It was certainly best for both parties that JCH moved on but I personally think it's difficult to disprove the view that at the time Robins got it fundamentally wrong with him during his time here...

It's not on players to fit the system at all, it's up to the manager and his backroom staff to scout the correct players in line with the system they choose to adopt. Otherwise as shown with Chaplin and JCH specifically, you just end up with square pegs in round holes. I'd agree JCH wasn't...
