Championship 22-23 (22 Viewers)

They won't be decent owners if they end up in shit creek long-run though...

I fully get your point. We all want a bit of excitement, but sometimes boring is sensible. It can also be naive. I think it's too early to make a judgment on if either policy is good, but in true boring fashion, I trust that MR knows what he is doing and wouldn't still be here if he didn't think we can make progress over the mid future. Let's hope these loanees (should they happen) can push us on another level.

SISU are not good owners. They've improved but they still have sod all ambition. No one should forget what they've put our club through.

what a floppy cock you are, u say that most city fans are idiots and you don't care, but here you are on a city fans forum spiting utter shite trying to get attention, I've lost count how many times you have created new accounts. Just shows you for who you are, you sad c**t.

Haha…. I’m stealing that insult. Floppy cock

True, can’t fault that statement but by the same token we have a very good manager and coaches to manage the football side and they have been upwardly mobile for a good period.

Agreed, the team have done a great job. Have to feel we've probably hit our ceiling though under this ownership. Hope not of course.

Really? I thought they had money.

..so did I, they’ve not released their kits yet either. Few murmurings all isn’t as it seems with the owners

They've also paid players and staff late twice in successive months.

 

[KenilworthSkyBlue]

Third favourites, Birmingham and Rotherham to fill the other two spots. Wigan would be the ones for me @ 5/1, not signed anyone yet

Blackpool fans must be concerned as well. Critchley gone, Bowler likely to go, and no signings yet either.

Was thinking that too.

They will be fine, Michael Appleton is in charge

 

[Cobi Jones's Dreads]

Those figures (16 +4) are for Potter, not the winger they are signing

You are right in the post from Yorkshire news I read the thread wrong.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Reports suggest that the initial fee is around £16m with a potential for a further £4m in add-ons. It would represent a club record fee for the Bees.

 

[Deleted member 5849]

From Middlesbrough looking at Gyokeres they are now looking to sign Jordan Rhodes lol…. Bit of a step down

Wilder does like a decrepit striker or two in his squad, mind.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

The fee for this guy is being reported as £3.5m

Nothing against Wigan but this is the sort of thing I like to hear. Basically anything that makes our relegation less likely.

Yep. I'm the exact same.

Would be surprised if we ended up in a relegation battle but you're only ever 3/4 injuries to key players from it all going tits up.

Give me 3 basket cases like Derby each year.

None of Derby's level this year but looking like quite a few are in trouble (Birmingham, Reading, Blackpool, Wigan) and you also have Rotherham who love to go straight back down.

Rotherham have lost some key players too so you'd expect a greater struggle

Jack Rudoni, the Wimbledon attacking mid we were linked with at the start of summer, is joining Huddersfield for £800k+

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

That seems low, not quite as good as the stats paint him?

Is it really that low for a midfielder from a L2 club?

 

[Sick Boy]

Middlesbrough have made a £7.6million (€9m) offer for Venezia striker Thomas Henry, reports Sky in Italy.
Serie A clubs including Verona are also interested in the 27-year-old Frenchman.

Reports here say he’s signing for Hellas today.

He's looking forward to linking up with Kyle Hudlin

These are the amounts people are talking about with 'a bit of investment please'

 

[Liquid Gold]

Rudoni looks a good prospect and I think would suit our system. Shame.

Sorry mate couldn't possibly. Might end up like Derby.

Owned by a passionate local fan, owning their own ground and have enough about them to refuse bids for their players from us?

Even the Derby analogy is absurd now they're out of admin.

Probably but he was only about 1 in 5 for Bournemouth in Championship

I wonder if they are getting the band back together, just need Doyle and the Hunt brothers now.

Graeme Murty!

Sigurdsson might be the difficult one…

Shane Long - Reading

Would be interesting to know what salary they offered him. They're supposed to be slashing their wage bill to £16M.

Signed Hendrick too on loan who by all accounts was terrible at QPR

"Slashing" it to
just 16m!! Really!
How will they cope!!??

Like Derby being limited to 8m in League 1... sure our budget I the year we won it was circa 6m??
