carricks game plan undone after 1/2 hour😅

I was meaning more they wont spend the going rate on wages more than transfer fees. Also, dont forget they sold Hyam in the last few hours of the summer transfer window which would have been £3m in they weren't necessarily expecting so I dont think they deserve a ticker tape welcome through town for reinvesting that money either!

Problem is that the selling club usually inflates the value of the deal to appease their fans, the buying club doesn't disclose or plays down the price for the same reason, then it's usually somewhere in-between. I'd be very surprised if we have put our hand in our pockets and produced 3 million quid, even if it's in installments. If it's anywhere near that amount, I think it would be subject to all sorts of clauses and hedging our bets on our part.

That's why I quoted their end. Let's spin it on it's head, Bodo say undisclosed and Rovers say £3 million?

then why don`t they tell us the truth at rovers end,instead of the usual undisclosed fee??? personally i would`nt trust anyone at ewood to tell me the truth if i asked what the weather was like outside

I've been watching Hearts vs Celtic this afternoon. Brilliant game and a result that will keep a 3 way title race ticking on even longer. Would be hilarious, and great for the game up there if Hearts won this title. Tony Bloom doing very well yet again so far with another club (as a significant stakeholder).

Agreed. Up to when they scored on 26 minutes they could have had 3. After their goal the body language of our players as they walked back to the half way for kick off looked resigned -staring straight ahead, no chat (only MacLaughlin at the back trying a little encouragement). They knew they were getting totally outplayed. I think what really saved us was the eqaliser just 2 minutes later -the players themselves could hardly believe it. From then on, they had some belief, began to play and the game was more evenly contested.

24 of those points were in two ‘runs’. 4 wins in a row last season 4 wins in 5 matches this season. Can that happen again? (he asks forlornly)

Tin hat on for this one, but according to the Norwegian end, they paid £3 million for Jorgensen. Does money have to be spent on a Lyndon Dykes for it to be acknowledged ?

I'd be after the best City / Man U / Arsenal / Chelsea / Liverpool Academy striker they have in their youth system ready to test men's football. Need us to guarantee minutes? Well we've no bugger else, so that's an easy sell. I wouldn't be fruitlessly chasing a lad from League One who a) we clearly can't afford and b) you'd have to convince that we're not going to be in League One ourselves next year.

Wasn't Ribeiro one of Gestede's exciting summer (re-)signings? Perfect for the 4-2-3-1 Ismael wanted to play and solid competition for Pickering one of our high earners? They must have been key players this season according to "the plan", oh wait....

44 points from 40 games.

I think Ribeiro was left out of the squad this weekend because he is already on his way He posted, then shortly afterwards deleted, a picture of him waving on social media last week Then its probably a case of them loaning out Pratt (as they have to play Cashin) and/or maybe not registering Hedges due to his injury

Absolutely no problem. I freely admit I've been a VERY negative bugger about the Club over the last 5 years or so because other than the glimmers of hope offered by JDT and Eustace I see nothing whatsoever to be positive about! In fact I've been dubbed "The anti chaddy" on here as well which reflects my level of concern about the Club. Imo it's not just a normal case of we've got a poor manager (although we have) and we'll go down and bounce back etc. It's the very existence of the Club that is at stake. We won't be bouncing back like last time it happened and imo if Venky's remain for any length of time the Club dies. It's as simple as that. So for me we have to do SOMETHING, anything to try and get them out. Sitting back and doing or saying nothing simply isn't an option if we want the Club to survive in a meaningful form. And a call for a boycott is a logical and appropriate first step in that process imo.

I really dont get this anti English player agenda you seem so keen to push. Our media often overhypes English players.

Returning to our points per game of the first 14 matches gets us to 51 points Maintaining our points per game from the last 14 matches gets us to 44 points.

Vitriol? Really... I think this is just getting out of hand.

The only approach you appear to want me to have is to have the same opinion as you, otherwise you'll force through some odd interpretation that I'm blaming boycotters for division in the support base. For the third or fourth time, I've done no such thing, and you are clutching at straws to convince me otherwise. I've aired my opinions. Nobody has to agree with them. I'm not going to take your opinions and twist them into something totally false to demean your stance. So don't do the same to me.

Just posted in the relegation thread, 50pts usually the safety mark for relegation, therefore we need 7 wins or 6 wins and a few snookers to get to that. I've no faith in this manager to play his part in getting us to that target. Has he even won 50 points in total during his time here?

One sided vitriol masquerading as balanced reason?

This rule is aimed at new owners. The more they pay to the unsecured creditors of the club, this reduces the chance of a further points deduction. A new owner may of course think “F*ck that…” & swallow the additional points deduction to protect their cash reserves. https://www.danielgeey.com/done-deal-blog/football-league-insolvency-regulation-changes-a-brief-summary

And just to add... We are still over squad size, so there is going to be sacrificial lambs in the next week or so..... It took nearly 2 weeks to sell Gueye when he was clearly not part of the plans moving forward History doesn't lie, and I've got 0 faith in our higher ups to do anything remotely sensible

Ignore them. People like to bash English players. Especially young ones. People have their tongues up Brazilian arses despite Brazil not producing top quality players anymore

We've been averaging roughly 1 point per game 28 played, 29 pts). If we continue on that run we'll get 46-48 points. Some seasons that's enough to stay up, some seasons it isn't. Our squad is getting gradually worse as the season progresses, morale is (presumably) getting lower and lower, I think it's 50/50 whether we survive. Two home wins only so far, if we only win another two home games before the end of the season, we're going down. Edit - we need to get to 50 points, that is usually enough. We need 21 points from 18 games, so 7 wins or 6 wins and a few draws?

And still, each & every window, we have the "lets wait and see what happens this window" mob Fool me once....
