Championship: Two strikers and midfield tough guy / playmaker. Possibly better left back

Premier League: Virtually a total clearout bar one or two and a Forest-style spending spree

Sounds virtually the same as I’d be looking to do 

Prince - Purple Rain

(How do I add videos?)

Another idea - how about a season ticket holder can buy a discounted match ticket for a friend?

They could decide whether to ‘split’ that discount between them.

These might be rubbish ideas but I’m sure I’m thinking about it more than Waggott does 😁

The problem they're going to have is that they've spent £40m+ on an entire squad of top level Championship players that are all going to need replacing if they want to survive in the Premier League.

I think that’s a problem which all the clubs in the championship would like to have

I doubt if we would have anything like £10m available in the transfer market nor would we be able to put together a remuneration package that would match anything like he's on at Forest in the Premier League.

I certainly agree with that but I meant the same deal as the one which was agreed this time.

Tbf as far as Burnley being better you could say that for practically every team in the division. They've made this league look like a bit of a joke. Only two losses and 19 points clear of 3rd already, lol. I'd say it puts the other relegated clubs with parachute payments to shame more than us. 

They’ve done what all relegated clubs should do but not many actually do.

It’s bloody annoying!

The problem with a £10 ticket is that season tickets average at ~£17 per game (I stand to be corrected). It's completely unfair on season ticket holders to price a single ticket so low when they've forked out a lot of money to support the club for the whole season.

Waggott prices the season tickets so highly, and that creates a problem of justifying a very low cost single ticket at any point in the season. Pricing a ticket at £15-£20 might be more realistic, or bundle of games in that sort of price per game range. I can't see it happening, though. There might be an offer at some point, but I bet it'll be dismal.

£10 tickets and a commensurate discount in the shop for season ticket holders?

I know the club won’t do this but I wonder if it is something that would ‘work’

And as they name check Birmingham what about this.

It’s almost like it’s a societal problem and not a specific clubs problem 

I doubt the club is capable of this level of thinking but maybe they want to be able to say ‘look how much we wanted you’ in the hope that he’ll sign for next season (if still in the championship and if Forest would still deal with us!)

coventry dont have a ground ,and even the best grounds man in the world cant do it without money.

They have a pitch though which seemed pretty decent today.

Agree on the money though

15 more minutes of Southee and that question will be irrelevant

And a decent pitch to play on. Venkeys fuck Waggott off and get Alan Titchmarsh in.

Double deal for Coventry’s centre forward and head groundsman?

Sell Vale + Gallagher and then bring in 2 strikers (one must be an experienced player, the other can be a youngster if that's what they want)

Send back morton and mola and block Liverpools number ha! Bring in a CM

Loan out phillips and bring in an experienced CB (dream would be JpvH)

Bring in a LB for competition or to take over for Pickering. (Someone mentioned manning from Swansea, he would be a class signing)

Job done no?

 

That all sounds good but I do think we need an ‘all action’ midfielder as well

two centre forwards and a midfielder who can drive forwards with the ball,two strikers are pretty much a necessity

I’d aim for this, then left back and then wingers (we’ll probably get none of these!)

They'll be bang up for it and Ainsworth will get them giving their all for the shirt as a minimum. I'm predicting a lot of grit not a lot of quality and a hard to watch 0-0 

On another note I wonder what Sunderland fans think of Tony's first death spiral.  They probably don’t even realise they’re in one yet in fairness 

Boiling frog syndrome?
