Well exactly I think purchasing Connexions would be the only option which would then probably extend the cost into the millions. I'm not holding my breath, and I certainly don't believe it's a new stadium, however I find it very difficult to believe something isn't in the works. As why else...

Ryton is pretty tired. If you've ever been to/in the building it's not totally fit for purpose anymore, especially if we are to cement ourselves as a Championship club in the years ahead. They've obviously made some improvements in recent years which is fantastic, largely thanks to external...

A Davy Crockett mascot might be a nice change from Sky Blue Sam!

The club are actively looking for alternative training ground sites so I wouldn't be at all surprised if this is eventually what materialises. I know that they enquired about the possibility of acquiring land from the Dallas Burston Polo Club prior to the pandemic.

Because it doesn't come at a serious cost. Around half of the Championship is reportedly in breach of the P&S rules. If half of the UK was avoiding tax then there's a fundamental flaw in the framework and it would have to change, no? I've mentioned at least 3 ideas to drive change but fine...

You seem to think scrapping FFP and no financial regulation are synonymous? Regulation will always be needed in the game, as without it all hell would break lose. Cheques and balances will always be required to stop rogue owners from crippling clubs. But the current format is quite clearly...

The issue is it's not a great time for clubs. Budgets will have mostly been used up and the vast majority of clubs lack the capital to pay fees anyway due to the financial fallout from Covid. The best we can hope for is someone takes him on loan and covers the majority of his wages.

He'll be a credit to any League One club whether that's Portsmouth or someone else. Shame he couldn't cut it in the Championship but it was quite clearly a step too far.

It might be strong in terms of actually having bodies there but it seriously lacks quality, apart from Dabo. Regardless of Kane's alleged attitude issues he provides experience and has a decent pedigree. LWB is an issue that is in needs of solving but as I previously stated we aren't just going...

I can only assume Dacosta is being moved on and in any case is just a walking accident, Pask often looked completely lost at RWB, and it's too early for Rowe to bring him into the fold. We don't have depth there at all.

Reading QPR's forum (and swimming through the hate and vitriol) there are a few comments suggesting that he does seem better at RWB than RB so I don't think he's necessarily an out-and-out full back and would fill in fine with the RWB role. There's obviously question marks over whether he can...

I think the issue is it entirely depends on who's available. There's no point just bringing in a random player who's simply not good enough otherwise we may as well just stick with Reid. Also, bringing in a loan who's solely a LWB will be difficult as realistically they'll be playing second...

Very David Brent.

Is he hated by the players? The fans seem to have some weird agenda against him. I think he probably is quite arrogant - perhaps Chelsea syndrome - but if he had such a bad reputation surely Adi Viveash would put the breaks on bringing him in as I assume he would've coached him whilst at Chelsea.

Judging by the more sensible comments on social media (shock I know) and their forum it seems as if there's a talented player in there but he struggles with consistency. I think he'd be a good addition as a back up as he seems fairly versatile.

No one actually said that. Bizarre post.

You, as SBD is, are completely misreading my post and failing to understand so you aren't really 'unpacking' anything. Yes FFP should be scrapped as the framework itself is actually causing more problems than it solves and the vast majority, in the Championship especially, are increasingly...

When have they ever offered financial help? They made a huge deal about refusing to help the EFL with a bail out until they were essentially forced to as PL owners believed the Championship especially had got themselves into their own mess and didn't deserve assistance. It was also a crap...

Why would PL clubs complain about the lower divisions receiving a more proactive approach from the EFL - a completely separate competition I might add - to become more financially sustainable? Random arguement. With respect SBD and I apologise if this sounds condescending but you don't...

I'm not really referencing the PL. As I've previously mentioned PL spending has grown to a point of no return. It's everyone else that's in need of assistance and the current framework isn't providing that.
