If a top flight club comes in offering big wages and good playing time, he’s gone. And nobody could begrudge him that

Indeed. Can’t see why he’d drop down to a team like Middlesbrough though.

I think we have the best chance of playoffs since relegation if we keep the squad together, yes. But also we have some of our biggest assets in years likely at selling point and how we reinvest will determine the next few years.

First real barometer of his authenticity will be when he speaks with Robins... I assume that won't happen until he is confirmed as owner by the EFL - anyone got any idea of the timeline on that?

In the same bracket as Haaland? Don’t see that to be honest but agree he still has room to get even better

Really? Extrapolate the improvement over 18 months! Not haaland but many others in the prem

Can easily see Everton or Leeds being serious in the transfer window

One thing I’ve just got from that interview is that he was born and raised in Lowestoft the same town I’ve lived in since I was 10 y/o so 43 years.
I’ll see what I can find out.

Was having a nose on-line at a village called Reydon, about a mile from Southwold. Do you know the area? When I hang up my boots, looked a nice place to spend walking our dog.

Reydon and especially Southwold are very upmarket and very expensive, Southwold I believe is one of the three most expensive areas to buy property.
Half the houses are usually empty as they’ve been snapped up by wealthy Londoners as 2nd homes.

What a small world. After @Brylowes (who’s my uncle) told me Doug is from Lowestoft, I posted a video of him and my mum only went to bloody school with him. Crazy.

Agree on the physical side of things, I doubt Viks going to get much stronger or quicker, however, with game time and experience, decision making and coolness in front of goal could continue to improve. These are the things that could really increase his value.

It is in Suffolk but closer to Norwich than Ipswich, Norwich 26 miles, Ipswich 50 miles.
I would say it’s roughly Norwich 50% Ipswich 50% Man Utd 50%

Ha it was a nod to itsabuzzard, who hadn't posted for ages and always used to (very politely) point out other poster's grammar and spelling mistakes and now appears to have branched out into maths. I must say, standards here had slipped horribly, so it's good to have him back
