    Are we getting a name for ourselves off the pitch?

    If you want a scrap take up martial arts, don’t do it surrounded by families at a fucking Tesco.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Im not up with Ukrainian history but hasn’t there been fighting in Crimea and Donbas since 2014? That’s the sort of situation I’m envisaging. Contested territory but not all out war across the country. Russia with deport anyone not with the program and move a bunch of people in sympathetic to...

    Yeah but it’s out third season since promotion so everyone signed in L1 can leave for free, we don’t need to find buyers for them. It’s just the five we’ve signed since we do.

    The different between the average L1 contract and the average Championship contract is more like 400%. But sure if you want to believe Josh Pask is on £12k/wk crack on.

    I still fail to believe a pro athlete trips themselves up by accident like that. How often have you see it in other scenarios?

    Only five of the deadwood are on Championshop contracts (Kelly, Waghorn, Walker, Dacosta and Hilßner), the others it’s more likely to be 4 out 1 in. And I doubt Dacosta and Hilßner are on similar to Walker, Kelly and Waghorn. All about finding a home for those three IMO.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    I stick by what I said a while ago which is Russia will annex the southeast and call it a day. The idea Ukraine will come out of this with all the territory it went in with is fanciful.

    Its definitely going to be defined by how many of the fringe players we can ship out. I’d be very surprised to see anyone offer any of Kelly, Walker or Waghorn as much as they’re getting. Dacosta and Hilßner maybe the wish to go home might sway them. If we can’t get rid of those three, then I...

    I think if we’re paying £40k/wk for Waghorn, Walker and Kelly then the real problem is the contract negotiations. Kelly shouldn’t be on anything like to £10k/wk really. Makes be wonder what the likes of Jamie Allen is earning. My assumptions were maybe £25k for the three of them. We do seem to...

    One crisis at a time 😂 I think battery tech has a lot of room for improvement in that area as well.

    Honestly? I didn’t expect us to be able to raise £50k/wk on the budget but I’ll trust SBB. I also think that’s still a very small squad and as I say success would rely on: - Us offloading all out deadwood (unlikely) - Us finding quality players at under £10/wk (unlikely but possible) - All...

    This has some good discussion of that (though their use of 400 cycle lifetime is ridiculously conservative IMO), still miles below coal fired energy:Estimating The Carbon Footprint Of Utility-Scale Battery Storage I’ll be honest I don’t have much time for this line of reasoning. We saw it with...

    If we’re able to get £50k/wk back from shipping out Walker, Kelly, Shipley, Waghorn, Dacosta, Hilßner and Pask. Plus offload Jones, Drysdale, and a few of the U23s and send the two loans back. I can see us running with something like this assuming no sales. Moore/Wilson Dabo/Kane Bidwell/LWB...

    Carbon payback is about a year and a half:https://www.renewableenergyhub.co.uk/main/solar-panels/solar-panels-carbon-analysis/ The problem as you state is the finance model, most people aren’t willing to commit for the 12-20 year financial payback. Which is why government should step in.

    Are we getting a name for ourselves off the pitch?

    Its less not wanting them to see it and more then being put off going at all and us losing a decent lifelong fan. My girls started having doubts at Derby the trouble really upset them.

    Are we getting a name for ourselves off the pitch?

    The last thing I want to do after some wacky baccy is go for a jog around a football pitch. Wont happen but if everyone booed them instead of going “wahey!” When they dodge a steward I reckon it would stop pretty quick.

    Yeah but the rule is you have to have got a pen or a goal out of it. If the rule was wider more teams would complain and so more would get done.

    I just hope it’s a big enough sale to fund everything that’s required. I may be wrong but I can’t see the £10m figures being talked about as accurate and not sure £3-5m will be enough.
