As above, I don’t think we’ll find out until the Wharton/Szmodics instalments dry up. Summer perhaps? Unless Carter has a stormer of a second half to the season and goes for decent money then the never ending journey continues.

Good luck getting takers for 9/10s of this lot!

Running out of sellable assets would seem to be our only hope right now of being rid of them. What a hope to have!

Great update, thanks. So in summary, they clearly do not want to pay these associated bonds. If this stance does not / cannot change, then we will reach a crossroads sooner or later with no starlets left to sell.

Yep. There is nobody else who would fetch much more than a million quid. I’d put good money on Cantwell having a v low release clause and nobody’s taking a punt (quite yet anyway). (Hopefully) slightly squeaky bum time in Pune.

Indeed. It'll be interesting to see what happens though when the Wharton/Szmodics instalments dry up because none of the current crop are fetching decent money.

Death by a thousand cuts indeed. The never ending story.

Haven’t read an article like this on us for quite some time: https://t.co/Y8BkeACin7. Very sobering, but well balanced and researched for a neutral.

Great piece once again, Ian.

I found it amusing the other night seeing the post-match reports saying how Stoke had won away from home for ‘only the second time this season’. Chance would be a fine thing!

Seems like a fair few are at it:

Good to see the death spirals are a thing of the past, eh?!

I saw some clips on his Instagram of him doing separate work with some externally renowned striker coach. Doesn't look like he's made a jot of difference to his game either!

2 in 7, DE 🤮

We have no Rhodes, Arma, BBD or Szmodics to pull us out of the mire this time. There’s no chance this lot can spread the amount of goals required amongst them. We’re going down.

He makes Browny look like Shearer. Every single fucker involved in his signing should be sacked on the spot.

430+ minutes without a goal. Fuck me. Jim, get the relegation thread going, pal.

Just relegate us already. So, so done with this club.

0 goals in 4. 2 in 7. 400+ mins without a goal. The stats are just hideous.

Can’t score in a month of Sundays. Yet lose cheap goals every match. I’d suggest we’re in a fair bit of trouble.

I think we may have / be about to, break the 400 minute mark without a goal. Some achievement, boys.

That lineup just screams of a lack of creativity coupled with zero goals in it. Hope I’m proved wrong but hard to see past a 0-0 or 0-1 loss.

Folk really are setting themselves up for a fall tomorrow night aren't they....

Dunny will be telling us to "Get real" again before long. Funny how it's always the ones who managed to get on the gravy train after hanging up their boots.

I think you and a number of others may be in for a surprise as I have a feeling we’ll be in and around the relegation spots before long this season. There simply is no Szmodics, Diaz, Arma or Rhodes to bail us out this time. We have zero goals in us.
