I'd like to think we could perhaps get permanent deals done for Marosi and Allen. But with few clubs having the capital available to spend on transfer fees or even to pay up their contracts I'm not holding my breath. The rest will have to be loans.

I think that's going to be the case throughout the summer. With probably 6 players in need of moving on to free up wages there's a lot of wheeling and dealing to be done.

Also what we've got to bare in mind is how much our budget is available to spend compared to how many players we potentially need. Robins alluded to this a week or two ago where he more or less indicated that competing in the Championship for ready made players is going to be nigh on impossible...

Would they for a 31 year old who's just coming out of an ACL injury? That goes against Robins' and the club's whole transfer ethos. Granted according to reports we put O'Hare on £10k pw but he's obviously an investment that the club hope to make a significant return on all being well. With...

It almost certainly will, especially with clubs being far more cautious about what they're spending and on who. Players like Bennett are going to be faced with a pretty significant reality check this summer whereby they'll quickly realise they'll no longer be able to command the same inflated...

Maybe. Although Cardiff fans did indicate he was one of the bigger earners in the squad. Don't forget he achieved promotion with them to the Premier League and therefore would have likely received a significant increase on his contact at the time. Granted he probably wouldn't be able to...

Yeah it's a bit of a strange one. I wouldn't be at all surprised if we've enquired and perhaps put a feeler out there but I can't see this one happening. Reports expect him to be fit by September. So, I expect he just suffered a bad Grade 2 rather than a complete tear. Also, according to...

I suppose there's different grades. You'd think surely we wouldn't touch him if he suffered a grade 3.

And the rest. He'd be nothing short of extremely lucky to feature before the New Year.

How long's a piece of string? It's completely at the discretion of the club/SISU how much Robins receives from sales. It'll take years to recover from the financial fallout of both the pandemic and the move to St Andrews. How quickly we recover from the fallout will largely depend on how much...

Why when we desperately need to bolster the midfield? Kelly is incapable of completing a full season (baring in mind he'll be out until August/September, assuming he doesn't suffer a setback), Eccles is still very raw and very much an unknown talent in the Championship, and it's debatable...

As was Hyam for a large chunk of the season. But because he was a fan favourite coming into the Championship he wasn't maligned anywhere near as much as Sheaf. However, that's neither here nor there. The point is, most of the team were prone to giving the ball away, not just Sheaf...

That's what I find funny about the criticism against Sheaf. His critics almost try and claim he was the only player in the team to consistently lose the ball/give it away in dangerous areas.

OSB what do you expect our administrative costs to be at a guess for this upcoming season and against that, how much do you expect the club's turnover to absorb such overheads given the increase in commercial revenue earned from the move back to the Ricoh/CBS? I presume we'll still operate at...

Yeah good point. I suppose it depends on how much under 16/13 passes have been taken up. Will inevitably have a big factor on how much we've netted.

It'll be more than that. If you include hospitality tickets, boardroom passes and boxes, monies earned is likely to be over £3m.

Really positive. With a few good signings and more clarity over whether restrictions on stadium capacity are likely to be lifted then I think we stand a good chance of hitting 10k.

His contract is up at Charlton in July so he'll be available on a free.

Didn't take much notice at the time but I'm sure I've heard this repeatedly from Charlton fans over the course of the season. It's a shame as by all accounts he should be playing at a higher level.

Given that there were a section of fans who genuinely believed we were better off at St. Andrews (not just due to our form but because they believed that commercially we were somehow better off), I'm going to go with no, it wasn't obvious to everyone.
