Assuming the Chelsea situation is resolved by then I can't really see him coming back. I think they'll probably want to test him elsewhere. Equally, I suspect they'd demand a loan fee if we enquired about bringing him back as well which we just wouldn't pay.

I never really got at the time why people didn't think it was a good signing. He showed a lot of promise towards the back end of last season and had a prior record of scoring goals.

The quality from us during that season was on the whole pretty poor. We were horribly inconsistent up until probably the Mansfield draw and I never thought, bar a handful of games, we ever really looked a cut above the rest. Thankfully we turned up the heat when it mattered in the Play-Offs...

McCallum was overrated on here by a fair few as well to be fair. A good player but always thought he looked a bit unsuited for the wing back role as he offered zero outlet on the left due to his reluctance to get forward.

Copied and pasted from a previous post of mine regarding this topic. "It very much seems that we're almost deploying a Ken Dulieu tactic of giving out long term contracts to players whose value is depreciating or is relatively nominal, as the club believes it adds some kind of security to...

Said that to my Nottingham Forest friend at the time. It was a horribly weak challenge, if you even want to call it that. Literally just stuck his leg out and hoped for the best.

Would she though? I hear this a lot but I've never really thought it's as much of a foregone conclusion as fans make out. Surely she'd gain far more by holding onto the club for a few more years, taking advantage of not only the PL money but also the subsequent parachute payments when we're...

It's getting to the stage where I'm now half expecting the club to offer Waghorn an extension.

May as well put a bet on for Mitrovic to score.

I mean if he isn't being provided with basic necessities such as suitable training pitches then I wouldn't really blame him for not being totally happy. Nor would I be surprised if there's a disconnect, as for all Robins does he still gets very little support to do the job properly. Pretty...

Sadly neither will make me feel better about our prospects this summer.

Apparently one of our top earners according to SBB. Yet another shining example of our stellar contract policy.

It's not really just that, although his comments were highly suspicious. It's also the most recent accounts coupled with the looming EFL loan which the club will surely be paying off in instalments, and not in one bulk sum at the end of the three years. Then add in the fact we're almost...

No the player sale/s is an inevitability. The most recent accounts attest to that. I suspect we'll more than likely have to come to a settlement whereby we have to pay the difference between Waghorn's new contract at 'X' club and his previous contract at CCFC. That's less than ideal when his...

Last summer was yes, as we had added revenue from the Ricoh return to utilise. However given commercial and ticketing revenue isn't likely to increase from last season therefore what was available budgetary-wise will be more or less similar this summer and probably won't increase. Especially as...

It's not unfounded at all though is it.

I've never once said we'll sell all our players. I do believe one will go but I don't think further sales will be necessary. The biggest issue Robins will have is being unable to move on most unwanted contracted players without having to come to an agreement or baring the brunt of their...

For the reasons I've just laid out. Also if a player sale is made I don't believe Robins will get a significant promotion of the fee when there's increased operational costs to cover, the EFL loan looming as well as interest payments/loans owed to SISU.

It's fairly obvious it's going to be a difficult summer.

Player sales fairly inevitable and very little room in the budget to bring in new additions with Waghorn, Walker, Hilssner, Dacosta, Kelly still on the books for another year. He's right it's not looking great at all.
