Absolutely agree. The “figure” that needed to be hit conveniently is the figure needed to tick us over whilst Venkys legal case is ongoing.

Not sure it’s quite as simple as that, Mike

I was told the total fee is capped at 22M. Whether the additional 4M comes from individual success, club successes, international achievement or sell on fee doesn’t really matter.

He isn’t languishing, he’s one of the most exciting talents in US football and has just been capped by the national team.

He isn’t going to sign a new deal.

Absolute nonsense. Employees delivering shite when having little scope to work with is a tale as old as time. Telalovic is shite because that’s what you get when you have insignificant transfer money and a tiny wage budget.

Couldn’t find jelly at Holker Hall.

You can’t recall outside of the window to stop people ripping other peoples squad apart and them not being able to replace.

Rumour is an average increase of 3% with some tickets going up 5%.

I can't add a poll on to the thread, so feel free to start a new topic.

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…
