You know they have a database with a list of storm names to come.

I think Boosh shops at a similar web company.

 

[Wyken Sky Blue]

I think you’ve got confused.

Fat Nick banned the Wi-Fi at my gym, unsure why but he’s clearly not the brightest.

The gym would be the only place I couldn’t post from… of course I could just use my 5G like any normal person but fat Nick hasn’t figured that out yet

Is there any need to call people fat? What happened to treating people with kindness?

In another 12 months we get to do it all again when MVE, Wright and Simms want to leave.

Having good players that we will make a profit on isn't a problem.

In that scenario they’ll all have had good seasons and if all are sold at once we’ll get to play Parachute Payments Simulator 2025

 

[edgy]

I always treat people with kindness. It’s not unkind to say he’s fat, it’s factual

What if calling him fat, is effecting his mental health? Is that acceptable?

 

[pusbccfc]

half our squad being league 1 players

Aren't those ones leaving?

 

[shmmeee]

I'd be amazed if we signed more than 6/7 players this summer.

We need that many if we don’t lose anyone not out of contract TBH. I’d be disappointed if that’s all we sign, unless Sheaf stays and Collins sticks as number one.

 

[fatso]

He’s seen League 1 players celebrating promotion and wants it himself, can’t blame him and his peak value is now.

Slight issue of needing top flight clubs to be interested and prepared to pay what we want though.

It's not an issue, if no one meets our asking price then he stays. He's under contract here, so keeping him for another season isn't a problem.

I'm sure Mr King won't sell him unless it's a deal that suits MR and a replacement is brought in.

b) We will be in better shape next year as we are recruiting for a system we actually play

First time for everything.

 

[mark82]

I would much rather have Bidwell and a Bidwell upgrade than Dasilva and a Bidwell upgrade. This is where the problems start.

We probably all would, but Dasilva is on a longer contract.

 

[MalcSB]

He will be surrounded by superior team mates rather than dross like Palmer, Allen, Kelly etc

And will look all the worse for the comparison.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

We probably all would, but Dasilva is on a longer contract.

So loan him out or offer him for sale.

 

[hamil99]

Why is @hamil99 laughing at a factually accurate statement regarding palmers salary?

Put up the facts then. Otherwise I'm laughing at your bullshit.

Ex-Town star fined for failing to say who was driving speeding car

Loan star Kasey Palmer will have to pay £1,720 in fines and costs after a trial at Kirklees Magistrates Court

[Mucca Mad Boys]

This is it

Which is why we have a 5 year plan and not a 3 year plan!

We’ve got to trust the process. The foundations are there and just need building on.

If we get £50-60m for Simms, Wright and MVE, it sets the club up for the long term.

 

[The CableGuy]

As long as the money coming in goes back into the club I’m happy.

Just wondering if that money will be allocated to new players or infrastructure improvements. I know we've done work on improving facilities at Ryton but I get the feeling there more to be done there?

I recall King saying the training ground/infrastructure was 'embarrassing' when he took over, is that still the case?

 

[skybluegod]

That is quite literally the model. We don't have a billionaire owner to bankroll us to the prem we have to buy and sell until we build a team that gets us where we want to be.

That is his Chelsea wage. There is no evidence of his wage at Bristol City (or of course his wage here).

 

[hamil99]

Oh dear, you look rather silly now

Where does it say we are paying that. It doesn't...

Me laughing at his comment was to do with him saying we are paying that. Not that that is what he was earning at Chelsea.

 

[hinckley cov]

Possibly but what cash is likley? A couple of hundred k? We could have had a sizable fee for Ohare in the last 12 months if he had been honest with

That’s why this windows the most important since Robins took over again, get it right and we can challenge for top six .

Bristol wage detailed here - Kasey Palmer joins Coventry on a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee

 

[JSL]

Its starting to sink in that when who was leaving last summer was announced we panicked and bought anyone who was offered to us for those positions rather than who we had identified who we really wanted for whatever reason. Most likely inflated prices as people knew we had the Vik money. I can partly understand that having got to mid August with no centre backs to speak off and a lack of players overall in the squad.

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

Cliches indeed, but it’s true nonetheless. There needs to be a bit of perspective of where we’re actually at.

In the many conversations I’ve had on this forum, there’s been times where our depth and quality has been over stated. At this point of the season, the chickens have come to roost (another cliche for you) because we’re short on both quality and quantity in our team.

 

[PVA]

Bristol wage detailed here - Kasey Palmer joins Coventry on a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee

So considerably less than his Chelsea wage. As expected.

 

[hamil99]

I think you should calm down, have a think about it and you’ll understand. @PVA is halfway there so perhaps if you work together you’ll figure it out.

If G has to spell it out for you 2, whilst it would be ‘wonderful to see’, it will be rather embarrassing

Maybe if you pulled out of Grendel and stopped day drinking, people would put a modicum of respect your way.

 

[Martw]

As you know I've been banging the Sheaf is staying drum for a while and that we will use Vik money

Thats not correct now. Sheaf has said he would like a crack at the premier league. Which we cannot blame him for of course

With his current value at its highest dont be surprised if we lose him

For me, if we do, that is too much of a rebuild again for the summer

Moore
Kelly
O'Hare
Bidwell
Godden
Sheaf
Allen

To replace, and then add more.
Feel very deflated hearing that to be honest

You said a short while ago that the signings were ones that you had been told to be excited about, does that still hold true?

 

[napolimp]

Haven't read through the entire thread, but got the general gist and don't understand the problem. We have supposedly built a well-rounded team this season where losing any one player is not too big an issue. Sheaf's a great player, but I assume we will replace and move on. I also assume that he would only be allowed to leave for a significant fee, and so fits in with the model of purchasing players on cheaper side, developing them, and selling for profit.

Who are you referring to? The only signing that doesn’t look worth what we paid is Kitching and we chased him all Summer

 

[cooperskyblue]

It's the same every summer. The o.t.t meltdowns. We are in a mucher better place than last year where we had a squad with considerabley more loans, 2 star players who were going to leave.

We have the foundations of a much stronger starting point.

I think there are reasons to be excited.

 

[Alkhen]

This is it

But that's just the system isn't it?

Either we mount a serious challenge next season and go up or fail and lose a few key players. it's natural players want to push on in their career. Nothing to stress about. All are on 4 year deals for this exact reason. I'd imagine we'd profit hugely and repeat the process.

If a player does well enough to warrant a move to a bigger challenge we can't really stand in their way. I'm sure Doug and Robins would love to keep Sheaf but if he wants to move on it won't do any good standing in his way. Cash in and replace. He has been class but we have also survived for periods without him.

Same with O'Hare, annoying he leaves on a free but we got such value from him we can't be too sour. I'm sure the recruitment team have been doing their research on replacements.

Bidwell is the only other on that list that seems odd. But again people were calling for his head 6 months ago and it's only really his end of season form that has changed a lot of people's opinions.

It's mental people are calling to get rid of JDS and Lati. They are on long contracts. It just isn't happening. Anyhow as mentioned they are quality backup and both cover a few positions. We need depth in the squad more than anything.

 

[MusicDating]

25k/week to around 20k/week isn't considerably less.

Do you think he signed for us on less than 20k/week?

Agreed, last year we were moving on the likes of Dabo, Walker, Rose etc and keeping Allen, Kelly, Godden etc as important squad players. The fact they’re now surplus to requirements shows we’ve improved the squad.

Lads, do players leaving PL teams for £3.5m command wages as high as older ones leaving a mid table championship side with their contract paid up?
