    Sadler.. insider trading?

    It's far from ideal but I'm firmly in the camp of innocent until proven guilty and won't be worrying about something that I can't change. This isn't new, I would wager a lot of hedge fund owners and employs come up against similar charges. As has been said, it's a bit or a murky world and as...

    Dortmunder Yellow Wall

    Dortmund were petitioning fans when I went, basically telling fans not to sell tickets to non-BVB fans and to ensure the yellow wall remained tourist free. I guess the Nord Kurve will be the same. Getting tickets elsewhere was simple enough though and whilst it would be great to be in the yellow...

    Once the new East Stand is built.

    1000 × £25 × 23 = £575K That's assuming all teams bring 4K in a season. It's a decent amount but in Championship terms it's probably 1 average player.

    Once the new East Stand is built.

    I don't care for giving away teams such an advantage. 3K is plenty in an 18K stadium.

    Once the new East Stand is built.

    Stick away fans in the South East corner so they have a similar entrance to now but with 3000 allocation.

    Your 23/24 attendance record

    37 including a few cup games.

    Callum Connolly linked with ....

    He's out of contract at the end of June and available on a free. I still think that's too much! 🤣

    Would you accept dull if it was succesful

    Yes, is the simple answer. If that's what it takes to get us out of L1, it would be absolutely worth it. As long as there is a vision to play progressive, attacking football, I can cope in the short term.

    They’re not happy at Dumpdale

    I keep hoping they get off to a slow start. If they had a shocking first month or so, I can see them imploding. Their debts are eye watering in the Championship, imagine the state they'd be in losing another £7M in L1.

    PKE Takeover

    Build another bus station, they seem to love those in Nobberland. 😂

    Its the time for some serious questions to be asked

    No issues with anything in the OP although it isn't really very balanced. Ultimately the last 2 seasons have been a failure, there's no point dressing it up. Sacking Critchley I believe is the wrong thing to do for many reasons. A lot has been made about the 'entertainment' factor and to an...

    PKE Takeover

    So this potential buyer will need to fork out ~£60M in the first year before they've actually signed a player or fixed a leaky roof? I'm sure there is a queue of rich idiots forming at Dumpdale as we type!!! 😂

    The Summer Transfer thread - Part 1.

    I'm comfortable with all of those out of contract going. Only Carey, Husband and Ekpiteta would be a loss given their involvements during 23/24 season. I fully expect Carey's option to be taken and possibly even a new extended deal. Husband is the other player I'd ideally like to keep and...

    Kyle Joseph.

    I hope you're right. I thought he was excellent away at Bristol Rovers, a glimpse of what I had hoped for. Sadly barring a few little cameos he's been poor overall and even worse when it comes to scoring. I guess if we'd got him on a free or a small transfer it wouldn't matter so much but given...

    League 1 2024-25

    It'll be a tougher division as I expect both Wrexham and Stockport to be much more competitive than the clubs who have been relegated. Rotherham will be Rotherham, like Stevenage but bigger and even more ugly. Huddersfield and whoever else will also be up there. Wigan and Reading without the...

    Shane Lavery

    As with Beesley and Joseph, Lavery is a very honest and hard working player but one that sadly isn't good enough. If we want to improve on 8th, we need strikers who score 15-20 a season as a minimum. It's best we let most of those out of contract go and make our recruitment team earn their money.

    The Summer Transfer thread - Part 1.

    I'd like us to sign Rhodes, Coulson and Byers although I suspect Byers will end up elsewhere. Of those out of contract I'd extend Carey and offer Hubby and O'Donnell new deals. The rest can go. Gabriel can also go if we get a suitable offer. I like the lad but he's injury prone and the money...

    Kyle Joseph.

    File with Nuttall under complete waste of space. The sort of signing that gets an entire recruitment team sacked.

    1500 Reading tickets sold

    Hopefully it will be a decent atmosphere, it's something I level at most clubs with soulless stadiums in the middle of nowhere. I genuinely hope you get new owners, having lived in West Berkshire for 18 years I worked with a few Reading fans.

    Coming down from the Championship?

    I'm old enough to remember them in the top flight with the likes of Wood, Waddle, Di Canio and Carbone to name a few. They're the biggest club in Sheffield, I'll give them that. 😂
