    SP. No incoming transfers.

    Not enough and I'd say Pressley has to take a lot of the blame for that.

    SP. No incoming transfers.

    Thats what I would have liked to have seen done to try and get one of the young upcoming goalscorers from lower down the pyramid, instead the money was put into extra wages to get strikers with championship experience in Tudgay, Jackson, Nouble, Madine. And as you say SP is our manager, if he...

    SP. No incoming transfers.

    Thats Andy Williams who has 18 goals, free transfer actually from Yeovil 2 or 3 years back, must be shit as they didn't pay for him. Your thinking of Smith, cost about 50-100k from Charlton has 10 goals for Swindon this year.

    Phone in tonight

    Well they said the current model falls over in the championship, rest is just using my brain. If you take a guess currently the wage bill is anywhere 1.5-3 million. Put every penny of the 5 mill into the playing squad and we have a wage bill of between 6.5-8 million (may be dependent on...

    If you invested every penny of that into the playing squad it still wouldn't be enough to keep us in the championship, might get a couple of years if we are lucky.

    Cambridge v man utd....

    Can't believe we let a player as talented as Dunn leave, just couldn't afford to keep him.

    Insight into Richardson

    Agreed, I would like to take this opportunity to applaud SISU for their vision and courage in moving us to Northampton...

    Are Things Coming to a Head?

    I'm worried about the position we are in but still believe we will have enough to finish anywhere between say 14-20th place. We have every chance of taking points from games against Rochdale, Bradford, Sheffield Utd, Yeovil and Scunthorpe. Anything from Preston and MK games is a bonus.

    Are Things Coming to a Head?

    Yep and also teams like Walsall, Port Vale, Colchester. All crap teams, some days we will beat them and other days we will lose.

    SP. No incoming transfers.

    I'm guessing most of it went to covering losses incurred by playing in Northampton (losses which they inflicted on themselves) and paying player wages, agent fees, signing on fees, loan fees, academy costs etc. this season. I'm as frustrated as everyone, I'd have liked to have seen a small...

    Who would you sign with the money spent

    I'm just pleased he didn't suggest Cody Mcdonald

    Are Things Coming to a Head?

    And there are 20 other poor teams in this division also, we will scrape enough wins against crap teams to stay up even under Pressley.

    Who would you sign with the money spent

    I've always thought he was a bit of a donkey tbh, hasn't scored goals since his Oldham/Motherwell days which was about 7 years ago. Age 31 now and exactly the sort of player we should be steering clear from imo.

    Anticipating Pressley's post - Yeovil match comments .

    We dominated the game for the first 20 minutes, created a lot of chances and deserved to be ahead (after going 1-0 down after 5 minutes). In the second half we lacked quality in the final third and made poor decisions but I can't fault the lads commitment it was terrific. The second goal was a...

    Are Things Coming to a Head?

    Why would it be a miracle if we manage to stay in this division?

    Are Things Coming to a Head?

    I hope so, I'd actually not be bothered if we had to start from scratch again tbh at the moment, that's how hopeless I feel. We'd be free of SISU, the Ricoh, Wasps and all the angst that comes from it, we'd be free to decide our own future so to speak.

    Trust email

    Why is the trust so against the club owning its own stadium, are you worried Wasps will lose out on our revenue? Have you asked Wasps what stadium revenues they are willing to offer? If the revenues offered by Wasps isn't enough to match the fans ambition, what next? Will the trust just accept...

    SP. No incoming transfers.

    I'm in agreement with you but I don't think the solution is for someone to come in and splash cash they don't have in the hope we hit the lottery. Any new owner would also have to make us sustainable unless they are prepared to lose a lot of cash and not interested in getting it back, that...

    Jamie Jones

    I don't think Murphy is available, Andy Turner has written is an article on the telegraph 'I'm told Kirky would jump at the chance of returning to the club where he made his name' Says Sheffield Wednesday would be the stumbling block as they don't want to let him go in case Westwood leaves in...

    Ok first what are your suggestions to get rid of them and secondly what is wrong with the club being self sufficient?
