    Arguably we're still in a better position as a club as a whole, even if the league position isn't vastly different. The foundations are in place. Or certainly a lot more solid than they once were.

    I guess I was thinking more of EPL teams but yeah, you're right. That said, how long do parachute payments last - 3 seasons? That means, there's potentially 9 teams in the Championship still bringing in millions and likely spending to get back to 'the promised land'. I can't be arsed to look...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Hull City Match Thread - Wednesday 24th Apr

    I didn't see the match last night to be fair but the point stands - it was his first league outing in a couple of months. He was obviously going to be off the pace. Whether he was fit enough to play I guess was up to MR. We're obviously light on numbers given the squad size and the weekends...

    Don't disagree with any of that. But it's easy for people to think that the transfer fees received are the only revenue stream we have that's used to cover running costs and transfer fees. As mentioned earlier, we've also got TV money, prize money, ST money, ticket revenue, merch sales...

    Correct. But the majority of clubs lose money each year. Doesn't stop them opening the cheque book.

    I guess we'll see come the summer. I'm excited for that and next season.

    One of the most important signings for next season needs to be a decent replacement for Dennis Lawrence as well.

    Because I've heard it from a couple of sources. One of which I'm sure was one of his interviews...can't remember which one to be fair.

    I don't the exact details but I'm pretty sure he's spent some of his own money. If the Hamer fee was going on running costs etc, then what has the ST money, merch sales, sponsorship, TV revenue etc been spent on. I'm fairly confident that we'll have money to spend this summer, even if Vik...

    To be fair, that was his first league game for what, a couple of months? He's not going to be automatic first choice but when we're crying out for depth, I'd definitely keep Allen next season.

    I'm not listening but I know he's invested in some of the off field stuff like the training ground. And if we're making money from transfers, let's use that. We're trying to be self-sustaining after all. We need the balance don't we - investment into the playing squad (ideally solely through...

    Ellis Simms

    We're so lucky that we've got two great attacking players capable of 20 goals a season. For years we've been crying out for just one. We then had Gyo and after losing him, we now have two. It really is such an important aspect of our season next season, Simms and Wright firing on all cylinders...

    Callum O'Hare

    Equally, we've lost 3 out of the last 4 games that O'Hare has started.

    Callum O'Hare

    We've replaced 50 goals/assists from Gyo/Gus to be fair. We'll be ok if he goes.

    EFL League 1 & 2

    I was happy with the Doncaster result last night. It gives Sutton United a fighting chance at the weekend. Just need a win from them away to MK Dons, Colchester to lose at home to Crewe and a 5 goal swing in favour of Sutton. Unlikely but last night gives Sutton a slim chance now.

    More from the freak show that is United post semi-final

    What a plank. And what is he on about? He's a grown man FFS.

    Interesting take on the reality of the promised land

    If we went up next season (or even this!), I'd like to think that MR, his team and the scouting dept would stick to the same principles on signing players who are not only technically decent but are also like you say, nice people. I'd be pretty certain that we've probably not considered players...

    Peter Bankes needs investigating

    I guess whatever the losing finalist gets? £1m. If we've lost money as a 'conspiracy', we should complain. But as we've lost to potential ineptitude, there's nothing we can do. Look, 99% of fans think we've been robbed. It is what it is - nothings going to charge. They might release the...

    Cor...that sounds perfect. Totally agree - let the 'big 6' go.

    Peter Bankes needs investigating

    You instantly lose a bit of credit by using the word Woke. VAR is a pile of sh!te mind but it's done - nothing will change. We look great, albeit losing semi-finalists, Utd look like losers & idiots and PGMOL look even more incompetent than they did before.
