And they've not even fronted the cash to pay their own bills the last two years - it's been player sales. Plus it sounds like they're holding that £147m 'debt' over our head - a loan they can call in at any time and completely sink the club.

Nah, Chansiri is going to burn out and fade away pretty quickly. There's no sign of our purgatory ending. We, sadly, have the worst owners in football.

I'd look at the Commercial side of the club if I was interested in addressing that income to wages ratio. Embarrassing sponsors, embarrassing season ticket sales.

You can tell from the signings (and near signing) he wants athletes. You'd think Pickering has one foot out of the door if anyone offers anything for him. Ismael won't want to watch Harry trundle up and down the wing.

Sha-la-la-la-la-la.

Just par for the course, no? Eustace got a bitchy statement. Waggott got a sentence.

The senior players were annoyed? Imagine how the fans felt. We have to PAY to watch this shit - they at least get generously compensated.

Duru's gone from breaking through from nowhere, going out on loan to a L2 side and getting called up to the USA U20s to back behind a CM who did ok at Chorley on loan. Ouch.

Maybe Brittain saw Alebiosu in training on Friday and thought "fuck that, he's going to take my job" 😉

Honestly I think he'd make a fine LWB - he's quite useful until he gets into the final third. Then it all falls apart for him.

As much as I hate Gestede and co I'm not sure what you're getting at with these figures. I'm sure the figure is much lower than that 25%, in terms of players linked to signed, when you factor in that we've probably asked clubs about 100 players this summer. We're not Liverpool, Arsenal et al - our conversion rate is never going to be great. Coincidentally unlike Liverpool, Arsenal et al there are thousands of players that would easily improve us. There's perhaps a few dozen for them.

On the ball, perhaps. Off the ball - PL wingers would roast him.

It used to be that FBs were frustrated / failed CMs. Now a FB is often the best player on a team - they're asked to do SO much in the modern game.

More than likely they're getting both.

Let's say the offer from Broughton was to double his pay to £6k. He's turned that down holding out for £10k+ - an offer which wasn't coming. He's left money on the table backing himself to get a better contract elsewhere.

They could easily do that if they employed competent, driven people to run the club. Instead they employ their lackey and bleed tens of millions a year (allegedly). I've no idea how they're rich - the poultry business must be a piece of piss if they run their other businesses this poorly.

He was on £300 a week when we rescued him from the PNE scrapheap. He's been on several thousand pounds a week for the majority of his time here - and we know he turned down another pay rise when Broughton was here. He's hardly been hard done to. He thinks the grass is greener - good luck to him.

Wednesday are in chaos - they've got a 3 window transfer embargo and the few players that remain at the club refuse to play for the manager... who also doesn't want to be there.

The ESC rules, mainly.

So here's a thought exercise for everyone. Assuming Brittain is the last 'starter' to leave, what would you do in Gestede's place? Where do we need strengthening? Who needs shipping out? For mine: Sell Pears Sell Buckley Assess Duru or loan him out and bring in another RB Bring in a starting CB (possibly loan) Bring in another CM Bring in a RW (probably loan) Bring in a GK to challenge Toth So even conservatively (I wouldn't expect to challenge for the Playoffs with that squad, unless that loan RW was sensational) we're 5 players short.

Only a year left on his contract, but worth £8m on Transfermarkt so it's unlikely.

Why? He's a Uni student so probably 21 - it's sink or swim time for him. Might as well throw him in a professional game against men to see if he's got anything.

Good - you'd be mad to play for this lot. They've shown their true colours.

Who says he's on £10k a week?

He's played RB a few times for us - he's clearly not a RB. He's a CM (and probably not good enough to play there at this level).
