I suspect we'll very soon hit a ceiling whereby we won't be able to grow turnover and we won't be able to push the boat out any further with regards to spending more than the club earns - so will therefore rely on first team player sales to subsequently cover losses and pay back interest on...

I think it's pretty easy for Robins and the playing staff who look at him day in day out though. The fact that he's clearly done nothing in training or in his few appearances for the U23s to force their hand with regards to including him in the first team picture, probably tells us everything...

Agree but sufficient parking is vital at any stadium venue. Take that away and a lot of people probably just won't bother going. Especially those that live further afield.

I suspect it will be nigh on impossible to get Waghorn off the wage bill without negotiating some kind of settlement.

You're taking his stats massively out of context in order to prove your arguement. Out of those 95 apps or whatever it is hasn't he appeared off the bench over 50 times? Minutes per goal is quite clearly the best metric to measure his ability at this level.

He'll get a club however I expect he'll have to go on trial to prove his worth.

I still genuinely don't fully understand what you're getting at so I think it's best we leave it there.

Honestly, I just genuinely don't understand his responses to my posts. But yes we are probably going to look at bringing in another AM to support O'Hare in the summer so granted there would be an understudy theoretically for either/or however I just don't think it'll be Jones.

We don't agree at all as I don't think there's any sense whatsoever in keeping Jones for another year and you seem to think otherwise.

I just can't understand why you're so focused on us needing a third choice. Equally, and I'll say again, why would Jones want to be third choice next season when he's approaching 24 and desperately needs to get his career back on track?

You're the one that's lost? I'm not the one that seems to be throwing their toys out the pram over the fact we haven't got a third choice CAM? Fair enough if you want to keep Jones but I just don't see how it benefits club or player.

How many Championship clubs have 3 players in every position? You're regurgitating rubbish.

Haven't got a clue, as I've already said I missed his analysis on our accounts.

Oh really I must've missed that.

Price of Football is another good Twitter page that analyses football finance. The chap that heads it up, Kieran Maguire, has a podcast on Spotify by the same name which is worth a listen if anyone is interested in that aspect of the game. Offers some pretty comprehensive insights.

They're not officially 'third choice' though? They'd predominantly play and develop in the U23 squad and likely train with the first team squad. It's not really any different than Tavares' current role. Not sure why that'd suddenly be an issue with regards to being able to recruit these types...

That doesn't really count as squad depth though does it? If anything all it really is, is another body to throw in as a last resort. But if that's a concern then surely we may as well just use an U23 as third choice? They're just as likely not to play and it's less of an overhead than retaining...

No club would spend £1m on a L2 player who's suffered 3 successive ACLs.

I don't think anyone is saying that in all fairness. I think most would be in agreement that the more room for manoeuvre Robins receives in the upcoming window the better. In order to do that as many of the bomb squad need to be moved on as possible. So, keeping players such as Jones just...

He's signing for Udinese.
