It's colder in Shanghai than here next week and snow forecast.....

At the moment unless decent money is spent before the end of the window it's looking like the transfer budget for this season is/was minus £2m. (The net position in summer) Bearing in mind we've only bought in a nil cost loan so far and seemingly had to shift Gueye before seeing any movement on the striker front.

Absolutely have to boycott.

Protest thread. What we got in mind?

You do the math guys, there is budget. I’ve done the math Rudy, there should be plenty. The fans just aren’t seeing any of it. Certainly not at a competitive Championship level.

'Money in the kitty' We just can't spend it because no player is going to agree to join a sinking ship where we are offering wages more in keeping with a League One/Two club than an established Championship one. So all the Venky bingo boxes ticked - money available, nothing wrong with the owners, ready and willing to spend, targets being worked on, don't blame us blame the greedy players and agents End result we've all seen before. Excuses and issues, not enough to show for it.

Born offside.

One Makhtar Gueye buys you one Bali Mumba and one Leo Castledine

He's just on his way back onside now via Singapore. That's what it felt like watching him float offside

First club in the world to have an AI manager ! Wouldn't put anything past these lot.

Well done for showing her the 💡

He looks off side.

Wouldn't surprise me if Gestede hired himself he's that incredible at everything

In the 74/75 promotion, I think a fan aircraft went to 1 or 2 games ..Brighton springs to mind , not sure about Plymouth away cos it was night match ! They went from Squires Gate !

Pretty sure this lad was mentioned in the summer or in a previous window, definitely been linked before.

Rowett would be an obvious candidate if nobody has come in for him and Ismael leaves. Well, he would have been if Waggott was still picking managers. With the current lot at the wheel we'd probably hire some absolute rando who'd been sacked from a Belgian second division side a few months prior.

Yep, Carl Leaburn’s lad, his name was mentioned a number of times on here over the last couple of years as being the sort we needed who could have been plucked from League 1 at a small investment price. As always, missed the boat !

Despite having no back up, I'm overjoyed to not have to see this clown in our strip again. The anti-forward. The defenders best mate. The jester. See ya.

We aren't going to pay any fee for a manager or head coach in the form of compensation package to another club. Last 15 years will give you an idea about our new 'hiring policy': - Sacked Allardyce in December 2010 and hired Kean (internal recruitment). Relegated less than two years later. - Sacked Kean in September 2012 and hired Berg in November 2012, who had been out of work for over a year. He was in turn sacked 57 days later. - Hired Appleton in March 2013 who was on a one-year rolling contract with Blackpool. Sacked 67 days later. - Hired Bowyer (internal recruitment having been in charge of the reserve team). First as a caretaker manager after Berg and Appleton and later signed initially a one-year rolling contract in May 2013. Sacked in late 2015. - Hired Lambert in late 2015 who had been out of work for nine months since his spell at Aston Villa. Didn't even last a year as Lambert himself triggered a release clause in the contract before end of season. - Hired Coyle in June 2016 shortly after he ended his last contract by mutual consent with MLS side Houston Dynamo. Sacked by mutual consent in February 2017 after poor results which would ultimately lead to relegation to L1. - Hired Mowbray who had been out of work for five months since his spell at Coventry. Left at the end of contract having been five years at the club and getting them back to the Championship. - Appointed JDT in June 2022 who had been out of work for roughly six months after ending his contract with Malmö FF. Left by mutual consent in February 2024. - Appointed Eustace in February 2024 who was sacked four months earlier at Birmingham. Left a year later after Derby triggered his release clause. - Hired Ismaël in February 2025 who had been out of work for almost a year since being sacked by Watford. So you're either going to see an internal recruitment (Johnson? Vignal?) or someone who's been out of work for a while once Ismaël leaves.

Gone for an afternoon at the races to blow his signing on bonus.

I bet he's gutted about missing the English weather

Funny looking football ground.

he is probably greedy too

Just seen Jordan Slew is still playing professional football, maybe we could tempt him back
