  1. I havent said they aint good enough? What im saying is if we secure promotion we will be in a position to shop in a whole different market place. But if Hedges and Souttar were premier league quality do you not think Premier league clubs would be trying to get them in on pre contracts or signing them for nominal fees in January. If promoted the squad will need some premier league experience and quality if we are to have any chance of staying in it.
  2. The bonus would only be paid out if promoted and the club got the riches that promotion guarantees. If we were in the Premier league we wouldnt have a wage cap as low as it is
  3. What do you mean like who?Do you want me to name every defender with Premier league experience? If we get promoted we can buy at a different level to players like Souttar and Hedges.
  4. If we go up we would have to be signing a more proven at that level defender. If Souttar or Hedges are coming in this window fair enough to play a part but if promoted to the Premier we will surely be looking at better quality.If they were premier league quality now then it would be those teams trying to sign them now
  5. In the event they have all decided to run their contracts down and leave on a free then i would say the incentive does change things. It gives those players £700k reasons to give their all and try help get the club promoted.Plenty of examples of players downing tools coming into the last 6 months of their deal
  6. They create loads of chances every game, if they had a goalscorer they would be in top spot now
  7. We would be back in the premier league though..i read the article as it suggesting the bonus could prevent the out of contract players from pushing to leave in January.
  8. Testing could be done earlier in the morning.12:30 is ridiculous.3 games were due to take place in the championship prior to our cancellation along with reduced matches in league one and two its not like they would have been over run dealing with clubs.Or you switch the managable distance games to a 5pm kick off.
  9. Apparently they did ask for the game to be called off prior to today but the efl turned down the request due to Hull having enough numbers to play the game. The fault is with the rule makers.Lfts as late as 2 and a half hours prior to kick off should not be happening.
  10. Iv given the letter to my old man,il get it back later and check and post it. I know that UB40 are headlining the Monday night.Quite a few bands will be performing as gates open 12:30-22:30 over the 3 days
  11. Living on Nuttall street and all residents recieved notice that a 3 day music festival will take place from the 29th of may at Ewood park.
  12. It will take a lot more than £40 million to sign the striker from Fiorentina that you are talking about. More established clubs than Newcastle will be in for him aswell.No way he goes to Newcastle
  13. I wouldnt say he has been lucky and Mowbray definitely deserves credit however if the budget had been healthier would we be playing with this young team now?Im not so sure.Going off his comments and obvious dissapointment at the time ,he clearly wanted new deals for Evans and Bennett. We shouldnt be giving out any new deals to managment, the position should be reviewed at the end of the season
  14. Why does it matter if he signs permanently or not in terms of praising Park for identifying him? It wasnt down to Park that we had to sign loans
  15. Mowbray confirms we have no covid positives
  16. You cant get a week pass anymore You can get a day pass or a monthly pass
  17. It doesnt say increasingly likely?It says Potter didnt rule out recalling loan players in January due to covid ,the same as what the let said the other day
  18. Hull have improved a little.3 points would be nice but a point not bad either providing we follow it up with 3 points at home to Barnsley
  19. They are looking more than comfortable at Championship level, whilst you definitely said that wouldnt be the case with Buckley. Before you suggest like others(that im desperate to be proven right or think im always right) i have been wrong myself with Rothwell although i always felt he had talent i had lost faith that we would ever see the consistency ,assists and goals that we are seeing now and i couldnt be more happy to be wrong
  20. Fair play to the manager, i hope he wont revert to type and start making unforced changes. Credit definitely has to go to him and the coaching staff for the vast improvement in some of the players. January is a massive month, hopefully no sales and Brighton aint tempted to recall Van Hecke
  21. It was 140% to turnover pre pandemic i think
  22. Reading v luton and Millwall v Preston off at the weekend
  23. Sell in the summer then.Ffp isnt a concern with the money brought in and the budget slashing in the last 12 months. The owners say they are "committed to getting the club back to the premier league" well selling your top scorer in the midst of a promotion push isnt the commitment i want to be seeing
