I never said it wasn’t a benefit at all…

That if our most valuable assets have no value if not sold by the summer of 2023, it’s not exactly a huge boon for the club if all the new owners can do is prevent our best players from being sold in January. The point still stands to some extent even if we change your post to mean summer 2024 -...

Without meaning to take this too far into ‘He’s 28 until he’s 29’ territory, yes I think most people in September 2022 would take “next summer” to mean the summer of 2023….

From September:

You’ve said that yourself….

Considering our most valuable assets are apparently worthless after this transfer window, that’s surely of limited benefit to us?

So we’re not going to pay £400,000 for him after all?

Wake me up when it’s 50% of officers under investigation

Well sure, the buck stops with him and all that. But there’s clearly a difference between being the driving force behind an underwhelming signing, versus being taken in by your trusted assistant on the same player. All that being said, I think Viveash needs a new party trick - these failed...

It’s a small fee, why not, knock yourself out!

Only one way to find out….

Without a single CB under contract, O’Hare out until Christmas, and Vik either sold or heading towards a free transfer, I’m expecting a very difficult season in 2023/24.

I suppose the argument would be, why spend money now on a team that’s going nowhere this season, when you can keep your powder dry for the summer? Not the most inspiring strategy, of course, and it assumes we’re not in much danger of going down….

Can he play in a back three?

Well that’s only a problem if you’re worried about relegation - it doesn’t bother me much where we finish if we’re not in the mix for either playoffs or the drop. Personally I think King is hoping we can just stagger over the finishing line this season and save himself a few quid in January. I...

If you’re not worried about relegation, why would it be disastrous to not strengthen in this window?

If the best argument for giving someone a new contract is ‘Hopefully we sign someone better soon and he doesn’t have to play’, then it’s probably not a great decision to re-sign them.
