They were still making fairly sizeable losses year on year though, yet the willingness to invest from their owner wasn't deterred.

https://www.mylondon.news/sport/football/football-news/matthew-benham-breaks-through-100m-14494181 He was writing off tens of millions in loans season after season and injected millions even prior to his ownership as he's a boyhood fan. Any notion that we could ever replicate what they've...

I said a couple of months ago, if the club needs to sell they need to do it at the beginning of the window and not at the opposite end otherwise it'll find itself in a position where finding an adequate replacement is going to be extremely difficult. They have to rely on the selling club being...

I suspect another player will have to go to be honest as whatever we receive for Hyam isn't likely to be enough to bridge the gap this season. Perhaps it'll give the club time and they may look to sell in January, but the upfront fee received is likely only enough to make up the shortfall in...

For all his merits, utilisation of budget has been one of Robin's faults during his time here. The club has one of the more modest budgets in the league and really when you look at the contracts offered to both existing and new players, certainly over the past 3 years, it's managed poorly at times.

I wouldn't really agree with that, although it depends who you class as our direct rivals. There are fundamentally worse squads in this division, who also suffer from lack of depth. Granted compared to the 'better' teams in the division we're at a distinct disadvantage with regards to depth but...

On the footballing side of things, I'd say we are. We have a squad that is more than capable of remaining in this division and a manager with a solid record at delivering results with what little he has at his disposal. The reason why our position is under threat is that we have an owner that...

I'd imagine we probably do receive enquiries from interested parties, especially as we're now an established Championship club...well for now. But other than Dale Evans and the occasional pop-up from Hoffman, we just won't hear about it. That being said the majority of clubs don't have...

Yeah that's just a ridiculous take. I had a client that would post £10m+ profits annually yet cash flow issues are what caused them to file for insolvency.

It's the going narrative however it's clear that's not the case. And really it never was. It's just a positive PR spin that gets pushed by the club to emphasise how much things have changed in recent years. The club operates on the basis that it needs to sell players in order to remain solvent...

There's not really anything to disagree with. At 24 no potential bidder will be looking at Gyokeres as a 'one for the future'.

Given he's 24 he's hardly a prospect.

Will he really care who's at fault? He'll simply want to manage and help the team win games and at present off the field issues have impeded his ability to do that. Regardless who's to blame it'll be incredibly frustrating for him and Adi.

Yep. Was totally disillusioned with the situation when he came in and just couldn't work under SISU/Anderson/Fisher so left as he realised nothing would change and he couldn't make the impact he wanted despite his best efforts.

Adam Brearley.

Yet the issue always seems to boil down to one excuse: "we're understaffed." Frankly it's laughable that a club, which openly admits to being hugely reliant on commercial and ticketing revenue is still so far behind operationally in pretty much every department - especially when compared to...

The club's infrastructure and staff base isn't all that dissimilar in terms of size and quality as it was in L2. The number of permanent staff appointed has increased marginally but comparative to other Championship clubs we're streets behind. The notion that's at all sustainable even in the...

What's changed since your last post where you stated it was on?

To be fair that's probably because the decent ones in recent years have always been accelerated to the first team.

Indeed. I'd imagine the 'hitting the right number' line is regarding what the club deems to be fair in terms of loan split.
