Huddersfield Adults: £249 U23s: £159 U18s: £129 U16s: £109 U11s: £49 What a sensible football club.

Interesting we let our sixth best player at the time of loan leave for Ipswich for 6 months.

Hmm, not sure. My understanding of O'Brien and Brierley is they failed because traditionally the medical, contract signing and PR was done at Brockhall but the paperwork was done by the admin team at Ewood Park. We where playing at Birmingham that day and the 'footballing' team at Brockhall believed they had sent all the relevant information back to the 'admin' team but something went wrong between the two and the details weren't submitted properly. GB took responsibility for it and has moved the 'admin' team to Brockhall nearer the deadline so that everyone is in one building to ensure it happens properly. The McGuire issue is different and an internal investigation is still happening. It's ALLEGEDLY one persons fault - human error, that literally clicked the equivalent of 'submit paperwork' but not 'send submission'. I don't think at any point GB has taken responsibility for that.

Might be true but Waggott has told me face to face that Fleck was his recruitment, they had known each other for a long time and once it looked like Adam was going Waggott personally rung “Flecky” and Sheff Utd to do a deal - which was essentially “you’ve 6 months left on your contract and aren’t playing for Sheff Utd, we will take over your deal”.

I’ve always assumed the baseline was 6!

This thread is going to go long and I’m looking for fun games to try and liven it up. What about this: I’ll make a new thread, we all have to simply post the name of a player (not currently linked) and the first person to guess a player that we sign gets a 12 month BRFCS adfree membership. Any good? Any better ideas?

If we don’t spend this with our decimated squad PLUS Szmodics will leave then we may as well all pack it in and fold the club.

Ordinarily I would say I suspect he will tell us where to go. However, McGuire is on peanuts ($1,400 / week) at Orlando. He will change his families life by moving here.

McFadz is at his best when we’re under bombardment defending our 18 yard box and need a leader to organise things. He’s been vital since January but I do not want to spend another season like this one. By default that should mean that his services are redundant.

Here’s my list Gregg. Go sign them all please. Viktor Johansson Michał Helik Ben Christene Ollie Rathbone Harvey Knibbs Jarne Steuckers Arron Connelly Duncan McGuire

Go and sign Jarne Steuckers please Gregg.

Wharton out for the season.

I’m not joking when I say I think we need six permanent signings and three loans.

Agreed - add Pears, Gamble, Garrett, Markanday and Telalovic to the list of players that need replacing because they’re simply not good enough. Add Dolan and Sigurdsson if they won’t sign new deals.

We didn’t mention it at the time - but this feels like the moment to, when Tony’s diagnosis was announced we sent him a card, some blue and white flowers and his favourite chocolates on behalf of BRFCS members…

He’ll likely win the most MOTM votes, therefore win the BRFCS Player of the Season. If that happens, usually we contact the club and let them know, ask for the players favourite charity and make a donation on behalf of BRFCS members to said charity.

Narrator: But they didn't have any money to spend.

Here's hoping, the original was a classic.

Probably the cookies, @StubbsUK

I guarantee we can't afford to pay any of them what they're looking for.

I said at the time Pears value will never be as high again as it was last summer. Should have sold him and Kaminski whilst we had the chance. Nobody is paying money for Pears this summer, too many clangers.

I'm not sure - I think it got a very quiet and worried crowd up for it, he'd already given the HT team talk... it wouldn't surprise me if it was planned...

Just on this - I thought the lap of honour was really poorly organised. The stadium announcer said stay in your seats, the players essentially did their own lap of honour, where taken off the pitch then returned to a 80% empty stadium. Like everything it needed much better organisation. Messaging on the big screen, repeat announcements. Whilst I’m here, when Eustace was sent off he came and sat probably 15 seats away from me. There was no plan for how he would communicate to the bench - it was utter chaos, probably a 10-15 minute period of it followed by Eustace using his personal phone to call down to someone on the bench.

I think Eustace trusts about four players - Carter, JRC, Tronstad, Szmodics and has to make do with the rest. Like all of us.

Superb work!
