Gestede will be dictating where the scouts are looking, and the majority of the links are foreign players, we need to be looking at domestic players aswell and I don't just mean loaning kids from prem academy's

I was in the attic the other day and found an original copy of the bible. Which was nice🤣

Posters wishing injury on a player - whatever that player is deemed to have done - is not acceptable in my view. As Szmodics refused to play then he should expect dog's abuse from some sections of the crowd - as their money was paying his wages then they have a right to feel cheated by him. But that should be as far as it goes.

The area being deliberately and maliciously deprived for the last 40 odd years plays a part in those big games not selling too well also. Those games are massively overpriced. There's a lot of factors at play here, not just location and what division we're in. Our attendance at the league cup final was great and showed what great support the club has.

Totally agree that support is good relative to size of town and the large number of surrounding clubs (a fact supporters of the likes of Norwich and Leicester tend to ignore when criticising our support). However that does mean in absolute terms our support will always be limited compared to many other clubs. I remember the 92 play-off final and the Old Trafford FA cup semi-final as two occasions when we couldn't sell our allocation.

I'm reminded of the character in the waistcoat in The Fast Show who always had impossibly fortunate stuff happening unexpectedly to him and ended up by saying : "Which was nice!"

This.

That's all Southgate managed at the last World Cup.

The shirt itself would look nice enough if it was a normal year but it's an absolute disgrace that this is basically just a normal shirt and the anniversary hasnt been been noted on the front of the shirt somehow with the badge. How can they get something so simple so badly wrong? Par for the course with this regime unfortunately. I'm assuming that if an actual anniversary shirt is released at some point, the thinking is that they will try and rinse anyone who is daft enough to pay £50 or £60 for a top twice.

By extension then, none of us are an expert on anything. Close the forum, there's nowt to discuss as we must trust whatever happens is true and fair.

'Willing' just like it was said Derby were 'willing' to go to 2 years. Yes it is all in the wording isn't it i'm glad you've finally grasped it.

he`ll keep you in the division with 10/12 goals a season,proper honest championship centre forward,works his arris off as well

Would he risk it with his playing style? If he stays then that's more down to the club than him imo, but you never know. Since we're seemingly a bit more desperate for cash these days, my guess is he leaves for an undisclosed fee (£2.5m).

They can't claim that ever.

didn't realise you were such an expert on recruitment and whether someone is suitable for that role or not, good to know hope you taken a stand against buying a ST given your viewpoint on ST policies being piss poor and he talked a load of shit trying to justify it

Are you fucking serious? Pathetic chaddy, even for you.

As far as I am concerned the club and Nixon are just laying the groundwork for their excuses. I'm not interested in semantics of "have offered" "are willing to offer" "open to discussing" etc. Either they are signed or they are not, end of. Until club signs them I don't care what comes out in the press.

Is Gestede doing the scouting or is people like Michael Cairney and Piotr Sadowski doing the actually scouting of players?

Willing and having actually offered a deal, thats a big difference. The fact that we didnt offer him a new deal a year ago, never mind now is unacceptable. Same with the others.

Hes gone from a minor role straight through to an important one based on very little. Season ticket policies are piss poor and he talked a load of shit trying to justify it in that podcast he appeared on.

The Pretenders - I’ll Stand By You

Depends where he moves to. As Peterborough have find out this with Jones and possibly Poku moving to non English clubs meaning they don't not much of any fee. Which you haven't thought off what quote? I have said what I recall Nicko saying on Radio Lancs over a week ago Rovers willing to offer a 3 year contract is what was reported. All in the wording

"On second thought, let's not go to Camelot. Tis a silly place."

as someone once said this is getting far too silly.
