I think that's the point. They want someone different, which is why Hamer may be allowed to leave.

But they play Hamer mostly as a wider attacker, he won't be replacing him.

Nope other than we have approached Sheffield United and Hamer a week or so back. Fuck knows where were at with it but id imagine if it was a goer there would have been a lot more noise

And we are still working on getting a CM in few irons in the fire but we cant offer the wages of others

Doesn’t feel like a Doug / Frank signing but let’s see.

Wilder persisting with him on the bench tells us they want him gone ….

Time for Hamer. He’s been on the bench for last couple of games so maybe there’s something there

Any guesses as to who?

The thing is, any professional football club now who want to be successful don't have 1 target. They have many but appreciate there was probably a top target for this window.

Seems to me we rarely get our man as it's often the case he goes somewhere else for more money.

Now I totally get that but FFS it pisses me off when we lose out to some doughbag club when it's maybe just a question of easing our purse strings a little.

Patronising, and failing to get it

I am deeply fed up with the sheer hypocricy of people complaining about the money flowing into Birmingham (who bailed us out) or Wrexham (delete where applicable) when we all know we would love either of their owners to take us over. Both those owners have considerably deeper pockets than DK and it is patently obvious that shit loads of money is far more important to success than even the best manager.* DK has enabled us to get forward, but if you want regular Prem football you need a moneybags. Please see Ipswich, Nottingham Forest and Sunderland passim

* There has also been some recent search that indicates that the quality of the manager is not a key variable to success - See Liam Manning and Thomas Frank for recent examples

Prem football is for the rich but only certain teams. Next season the PSR rules change so wages can only be a certain percentage of revenue. So low ground capacity teams with minimal extra revenue streams will be hugely disadvantaged.

Birmingham did not bail us out. They were skint so couldn't turn down the extra revenue and they charged us the going market rate for playing there.

They did not bail us out, they had to due to their own state take on extra revenue streams.

We definitely need a robust energetic tough tackling CM because Grimes has looked tired for a few games now and a solid robust left back because JDS gets targeted because of his size a lot. I'm not slating JDS there because he's been brilliant but good cover is required. Bidwell and Brau just aren't good enough IMO. Lack of a couple of positions is going to cost us I feel.
