Takin' LePris Masterclass? We've struugled to breakdown sides that park the bus since Hamer left. As soon as we stretched them down the right we scored pretty easily. The MVE error cost us the tie but the weaknesses of the side are hardly his fault. I think Torp might have made a difference had he been fit but at least we can watch Sunderland blow £100m plus to get 10 points - £10m per point!Correct. This Le Bris masterclass still irks me. Sunderland had settled for a draw at our place before MvE shit the bed, we then won in 90 at their place. They were lucky.
While Hamer was huge for us it was Viks ability to chase lost causes and drag a defence around that was the key to much of our success.Takin' LePris Masterclass?

And while we've "never replaced" Hamer we also haven't come close to getting a striker with the desire and physicality of Vik
We needed 3 or 4 players to do that mindReplaced his goals tho
Thats a term for the other thread. "War Chest"If both went, would give Lampard a war chest. About £18 million for them both?. Then minus £3.5 million from KKH.
Means you’d have £14.5 million to go and get a CB, CM, RW, ST (assuming Rushworth is done)
That’s add manager territory!You missed out Collins to Barcelona
We needed 3 or 4 players to do that mind
Hamer is a top Championship player, Vik is a top European player, there is no contest. We haven't 'replaced' either as individuals but we've replaced them with the sum of our parts, we're in a much much better place now and those sales allowed us to get there.
To be honest I’d like to see and expect us to actually spend more than just breaking even if we’re ambitious about going upIf both went, would give Lampard a war chest. About £18 million for them both?. Then minus £3.5 million from KKH.

Not gonna happen with this ownerTo be honest I’d like to see and expect us to actually spend more than just breaking even if we’re ambitious about going up
and rightly so IMONot gonna happen with this owner
Course more is always better but would we need more considering we imo don’t need many signings.To be honest I’d like to see and expect us to actually spend more than just breaking even if we’re ambitious about going up
You've seen the number of clubs in our division try that , basket cases like Reading, Shef Wed and Derby . chasing the " dream" has led to massive debt and in some cases relegation.To be honest I’d like to see and expect us to actually spend more than just breaking even if we’re ambitious about going up
Given what we’ve put up with over last 20 years, spending more than we have/gambling on a promotion just does not interest me.
Club should always be safeguarded / as sustainable as possible.

It has been said by others but this is my number one consideration for the Sky Blues above all else
Unless we are fortunate enough to be taken over by a ludicrously affluent owner who can find some magic way of avoiding FFP, it has to be sustainable. We have been through all sorts of shit even before SISU. King is the best owner we have had and is clearly determined that the whole enterprise is sustainable. More power to his elbow. And if we don't get promoted I am not going to worry that much about it or complain.
My only concern is that DK struck lucky in having two good player sales just as he arrived. We need to keep that up. Frankly, considering his injury record, if the rumour about Sheaf is true, I'd bite their hand off.
Oh come on, when those 2 players left we were left with absolutely fuck all. If 2 players left now we'd still be fine. The value of our squad and the overall quality of it is night and day. The club has its best assets secured to good contracts and is generally now talked about as a top end Championship club.I mean we’ve taken two seasons to go from finishing fifth then PO final to finishing fifth then PO semi. I think the jury is still out on if this particular set of parts can achieve more than Vik and Gus and the backup dancers.
Whatever though we’re still missing passing range, speed of thought and creativity in the middle of the pitch.
We need 2-3 quality additions and a promising loanee or twoIt's all too quiet for me, I can't see FL being happy with the current squad as is. I still see a massive balance and depth problem. We need multiple players out and certain areas added too. Either we are waiting for Vik or Gus to drop to starts some incomings. Struggling to lose some of the unwanted, or FL is having to deal with the squad as we have no more budget outside things happening elsewhere.
Lets hope this week we do see some unwanted moved on and see 1 in at least. Getting very close to the kick off.
Need to shift a few first to free up squad space dont we? At last reckoning, I think there was only one space left without some leaving.We need 2-3 quality additions and a promising loanee or two
We will lose one of our assets and hopefully a couple of others in areas we need to improve uponNeed to shift a few first to free up squad space dont we? At last reckoning, I think there was only one space left without some leaving.
Brau is an unknown quantity and the keeper is not promotion qualityAs it stand out first 11 could be
Wilson
Ewijk Thomas Kitching Brau
Sheaf Grimes
Rudoni
Saka Wright Mason-Clarke
When you write it down that’s a promotion 11
There's every possibility that there's plenty of transfer negotiation going on which thankfully is being kept under wraps.We can improve by moving on 1 from the current group of GK, CB, LB, CM and FW. This will not be easy but if we are to improve it has to be done. Its a lot of movement and to be honest I just can't see it happening before this window shuts. The longer it's goes and the closer it gets the quieter we seem to be. We look like we may see 1 or 2 but not the movement we need to take the next step in my opinion.
