    Hopefully only a dislocated arm and he’ll be back soon

    Could play Paterson in the Centre Attacking midfielder role

    Hmmmm

    To be fair, out of the bottom three clubs none of their managers had any premiership experience. Lampard has completed two seasons in the top flight so will have some experience in what is required. He’s shown a good level of pragmatism in playing ugly with us so hope he could keep us up

    Interesting to see as we know how much work the stadium needs and how many has been done and will be done. Assume it will turn a profit for Frasers as long as the club don’t leave again or build their own stadium (both very unlikely).

    Obviously playoff hopes have gripped me but I do wonder if we went up what we would spend all the £190 million on. Id like to think we’d make a good go of it and unlike the teams that went up this year we’ve got a manager with premiership experience. But do feel you have to spend a fortune to...

    Think he can play left and right wing, and attacking midfield. Does mean he’s quite versatile

    Maybe but my thinking is with the amount of crosses we play and Wright bulking up according to the players, I think he’ll be playing in the centre. If so don’t see the reasoning on having three strikers on the bench plus imagine Patersons experience in the locker room and on the bench is a...

    Taking the accounts at face value, all seems positive. Only concern I think we have still is the stadium (outside of being owner funded but that’s the entire league). Rent seems high which I imagine would increase in the future. Then you realise the lost revenue in regards to the stadium name...

    Not listened to it, but the golden share is in covcity co which is owned by Doug (previously was optima). Club can’t play without it.

    Imagine Doug would keep kicking the can down the road regarding the loan until he sells the club and demands payment in full.

    Don’t think so bud. When Doug came in they signed a lease to finish that year. So 2023. Then they signed a additional five years which would take it to 2028

    Not just that but depends on the size surely. Imagine we moved to the butts park in league one. Sold it out to 5,000 and started bragging about our numbers 🤣

    So for context if that was us, we would owe about £3,300,000 interest?

    Silly question what stops people just buying their tickets on the gate to get in?

    Not an accountant but. We are viable as long as Doug keeps giving the club interest free loans. Like most clubs at this level. Player sales help

    Will add while player sales are unsustainable in the long term, the players we’ve added I can definitely see how we can replicate the player funds. Looking at Sheaf,Milan and Wright for the next three years plus Simms, Dovin and others. Edit: Plus Rudoni
