[Berliner]

Well thats not going to win this league ,best 6 or 7th postion.

Depends on the quality of the new CB, new CM, new RW and new ST though...if those are all hits, then things would be rosy!

 

[Swaby39]

Why do people think that you can just click your fingers and get rid of a player you don't want, when that player is under contract?

It worked with Matt Phillips tbf.

 

[Jster]

We're not mentioned at all, but wondering if anyone knows anything about this guy (I'd not heard of him).

 

[Paul Cannell]

Really,if youre thinking like that we will be below that.

Tim I realise it's been a shitty day for you, finding out Erick is going to put people in who know more about football than you to make you perform your job, but it's really not going to be because @Kamal said someting if we finish mid-table.

Buck your fucking ideas up, mate, while there's still time.

 

[Essexyellows]

Making the play offs worked out alright last time..............

 

[uptheus]

Considering our 2025 revenue in the Championship was:

Matchday: £3,267,000
Broadcast: £11,454,000
Commercial: £4,278,00
Total: £18,999,000

We will obviously see a drop in TV revenue in League One (to ~2m?), but under the SCMP we can only commit 60% of this revenue to wages - although teams dropping from the Championship are given some flex in the first season.

I think I have this right, @tonyw is the guy for this, I'm sure he will correct me, but surely crude math suggests a significant drop in wages? As such, I imagine we will have to utilise the players we have who wish to stay, or look to find buyers for those not fancied/want to leave.

I think I heard the TV is around £3m, but I could be wrong.

 

[uptheus]

I certainly wouldn’t be rushing Kioso out the door - not sure how he got on this season but I think he’s very useful at this level. He’s a character, competitive and played a lot of games at a good level. To look at it another way, if Spencer were sold and we bought Kioso in his place, a proven L1 player in a similar mould, I think we’d be pretty satisfied.

HTA I presume will move on, a player we’ve criminally wasted but his injury record hasn’t helped.

If we ended up going in to next season with Spencer and Kioso as right back options and Sam Long in an emergency, and that’s the level of depth you need in 8 or 9 positions to be thinking about automatic promotion.

I cannot stand Kioso, plays with attitude, thinks he has more time than he has which ultimately ends up with him having to make a rash challenge. Poor on the ball and didn’t offer much going forward. I’d get rid/loan out again.

We'd have no-one left if we got rid of everyone you don't rate. And we'd have to replace them with Champions League winners or you still wouldn't be happy

 

[Digby]

The penny has dropped for me, none of our current squad should be going nowhere , they were the major factor we got relegated , now get us back !

 

[Osei Yaw]

If we need a new centre forward then we should probably take a look at Hokky Caraka. With 4 goals in 28 appearances in the Indonesia Super League he is undoubtedly absolute shite, but on the other hand he is registered with Level Up Asia, whose Director is our new Chairman. So it's a deal that feels right for us for all the wrong reasons and we'd be mad to turn down the opportunity because we need Thohir to build us a new stadium.

Are there any Dutch influencers with an Indonesian nan that we could perhaps prioritise before taking a punt on Caraka?

Why are you making this an either/or situation when we can simply have both? Yes it will weaken the team but the vibes on Insta would be insane.

I wouldn’t even joke about things like that when you consider we paid more money for Romeny than Millwall paid for Azeez..

Yeah because they're comparable

I'm excited about this signing, and his song chooses itself, doesn't it.

"You put your left leg in, your left leg out..."

 

[Archieyellow]

Looks like we are interested in Tyrese Noslin a right wing back who can play center back or right midfield

 

[holdsteady]

Says he can play right back, which will come in handy, always need 5 of them in the books. Certainly a change from Robinson and Hanson filling in there.

 

[Orkney Islands Yellow]

Lot's of people won't like any indication that we may play 5 at the back.

 

[HillBilly]

Compulsive behaviour is a trauma response - and we do like to collect RBs.

A twist is that a couple of databases I've just searched say he's left-footed, has played more at LB than RB, but has mainly been used as a RWB/RM in a back 5/3. I think he's played twice as a CB (in a back 3).

Looks like a thin rumour to me (links to League One rivals. 'one of a host of clubs').

Much more interested to see if we go after any of the League One players being released by their clubs.

 

[Oxfordpete]

Getting worried as no incoming players confirmed yet ……..

 

[Jackinthebox]

We're not mentioned at all, but wondering if anyone knows anything about this guy (I'd not heard of him).

Widely considered to be one of the best Defensive midfielders in League 1.

For comparison at that level, other highly rated players in that position are:

Archie Collins-Posh [now a Free Agent]
Harvey White-Stevenage
Luca Connell-Barnsley
Hakeem Odoffin-Luton
Pat Kelly-Barnsley
Dan Phillips-Stevenage

 

[Fat bloke]

Still wondering where the the team and bringing in who will score collectively to challenge for promotion we need to be scoring well over 60 goals just to be in play offs??. We have struggled in championship for goals take out loan ins the squad is weak. So not convinced we will be anywhere near where we hope to be which is top6?.
Mid table best unless we do some shrewed business? we waste alot of money chasing dreams etc sad to say.

McDonnell would be on this list if he was still at mansfield.......

 

[SteMerritt]

The way it's going we could probably play 5 Right Backs in that formation.

 

[holdsteady]

Big over lap that side, Cummings will still kick left.

 

[Digby]

When does the retained list come out ?

 

[Bath Yellow]

We'd have no-one left if we got rid of everyone you don't rate. And we'd have to replace them with Champions League winners or you still wouldn't be happy

Arteta wouldnt let you have them.
Hopefully they will do it this time although PSG will be favourites

Confused me for a second there. I was thinking wow, what a coincidence that there are so many Defensive Midfielders in League 1 with double barreled last names!

Kioso had a stinker at Peterborough, I know a couple of supporters and they said he was a disaster waiting to happen, basically what he was with us.
