    Transfer News 2022/23 Season Incoming Transfers and a few other things

    Been on the “it’s gonna be alright, KR has a plan, there’s players coming” bus. Starting to feel the call of the “it’s all a bit f*cked up, players we want don’t want us, squad cohesion at risk“ bus.

    Yes he does. Contracts (player package) and fee discussions start with him but it’s KR and the Board that make the decisions when presented with options on players and costs. Although KR has very strong opinions on what he wants or likes. So it’s not just the recruitment/analysis team’s...

    Transfer News 2022/23 Season Incoming Transfers and a few other things

    Sadly, we still make an annual operating loss. For reasons we all understand - the burden of the stadium arrangement, the salaries we pay (which while not top of Div salaries are, for some of our top earners, very competitive and therefore expensive) and the fact that, even with increased...

    Transfer News 2022/23 Season Incoming Transfers and a few other things

    I like the players but not the team. Stevens - lost form towards the end of the season and was beaten at his near post on 4 or 5 occasions (problem). Seddon - let’s face it. Great start to the season but by Christmas we had fallen out of love for him. His ineffective wondering up the left wing...

    Do we know that KR is going to get a bigger budget than last season is that speculation and some wishful thinking? Has the board declared their intention? Which would be unusual as they have been very circumspect on funding in recent years.

    I assume WW will be back to depending on owners and ticket sales. Championship parachute payment allowed them to spend big (relatively) this year. But think they’ll struggle now.

    Tickets 'nham away 18 sept, tickets on sale this eve

    £26 does seem like an awful lot. How does that compare with other away prices around the league? From my limited experience (at Charlton, AFC Wimbledon, MK Dons, Bristol Rovers) it seems like a bit more.

    This lasted well. Defence did well. Seddon impressed (upgrade of JR?), Thorniley is strong and calm, McInally was outstanding on debut and will develop with experience and Williams was a revelation. Not the back four of choice I agree, but they did a good job and displayed character...

    Holland - yes. I think Whyte will go to Wigan or Sunderland for more pay than we would be willing to expend.

    Transfer News Transfer Window Summer 21

    Have to assume that KR is targeting the Board with his post match comments in the OM. Guessing his aspirations to bid on players or offer high end (L1 high end) salaries is being constrained. Sadly I feel that the sale of the club is stalled and Tiger, who has been frugal and maximised his...
