  1. Then we could just shut down every thread other than the Venkys thread. That we as fans want the club to invest in players and be run properly doesn’t need repeating ad nausem. Discussing the merits and weaknesses of linked players and our squad based on reality that we have the owners we have and are currently looking at short term, cheap recruitment options
  2. I don’t disagree but my only opinion is that if Beck is a better option than Batty then it is a signing that strengthens us. We aren’t looking to replace Pickering - we are looking for this season’s Chrisene (imo)
  3. The only question then is whether the Liverpool lad is better than Gent. The answer from the scouts/coaches/recruitment team is a resounding yes.
  4. We lack cover for LB and Pickering Isn’t the best wingback. A pacy lb on loan that can play wingback is a very shrewd move for strengthening the team/squad. What is the problem? If anyone genuinely believes that our sales are for anything other than running costs (in which I include cheap transfers to keep us in the championship) then I must be watching a different film… edit: Gent sold not loaned.
  5. If the process is open and based on the mutual goal of improving the team/squad then the only problem is if the recruitment team can insist that a player is picked. Otherwise - John we are signing this guy for the squad. If he turns out worse than what we have already - no worries we’ll find a buyer. Provided the coach is genuinely interested in improving the team, hasn’t been lied to about his job description and is listened to regarding positions that need strengthening then the system works (to a point) and changes of head coach are pretty seamless
  6. Pears or Ruddy - who would you want in a battle at the dingledome? Next season or even after January is another discussion but right now I think Ruddy would improve the team/squad. If we are really lucky he might even contribute to improving or at least validating our GK coaching
  7. Simple question: would Ruddy improve our team/squad this season? IMO - yes. Maybe could improve Pears as well. Is he a risk - of course but frankly we need a leader in goal if we Hyam, Carter, Pickering and Brittain is our back 4
  8. Thanks and thanks for the help. User error at my end 🤣
  9. Great initiative - ordered 2 items last Friday. Understand that delivery may take a while but never received an order confirmation by email. Should I have?
  10. Wondering if our operating costs and wages will continue to create a 20m “hole” despite obvious cutbacks - just who is being paid and for what… Otherwise our recent sales and cutbacks coupled with increased revenue from tv, cup run, “record sponsor deals” (🤔) and slightly higher attendances should mean that “20m a season” is no longer needed although a certain amount of extra funding is required I’m sure for most championship clubs
  11. Seems more likely that he shared JDTs drive and ambition and now knows that he would never get PL football with us. No blame on SS from me - cred that he played his part in 2 games despite the situation. Club is gearing up for a relegation push rather than a promotion push (an exaggeration but I really do wonder if our owners would permit/enable promotion to the PL or if is actually past misdemeanors catching up with them that is screwing us over)
  12. I’m guessing 8.5 up front and clauses up to 12.5 if they stay up plus some form of sell on / profit (just in case) As earlier - would not surprise me if an agreement was made over monies due to SS from Rovers. Regardless - hope he does well and that we sign a decent keeper
  13. Does the club have a valuation that they stick by? Say 15m to Ipswich from day 1 then fair enough. Tell SS he can leave for 8 and then move the goalposts when it becomes obvious that they can get more. Contractually SS doesn’t have a leg to stand on and, if this conspiracy theory is correct then much credit to him for being professional. Again - key words “theory” and “if”
