And breathe (2 Viewers)

Another bump on a totally dumb philosophy- it’s pretty clear without Gyokeres we are dead certs for the drop. We have to retain him even if it means the end of his contract. Without him I see zero hope of survival

I think you're right G. I don't like to say it but we are very one dimensional at the moment. It's hit it down the line for Gyok to chase and hope for the best. Hopefully when Cal is back we can play a bit more football like last season. Excited to see Palmer and Cal behind Vik

i have no ideas but if we get £4 million it keeps the wolf from the door - selling our premium striker in January hasn’t historically worked well. You stick or twist - I’d stick at all cost as if he keeps performing he’s value will escalate

Not sure we’d get any takers at that price.

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Sell him in the summer and bring in Simms, then reinvest the rest into a CB or two

A friend from here brought me over the away top, and since then we have lost every game (well got 1 point).

Since then another friend from here brought me the home top.

I put it on at halftime during the Luton game and took the away top off.

Since then we have scored 2 and conceded 0.

It's my new top that has us playing better and i will wear it every game now.
Play-offs or better here we come
come on City PUSB.

Really? Foreign clubs can open talks with him about a free transfer in little more than a year from now.

How much do you think we’d get for Hamer?

If he continues performing as a one man battering ram and scoring goals the fee in June would be a bit lower than January but we’d have kept our league status which is worth millions in itself. Would still be a good sum though and thrown in with fees for Hamer and O’Hare gives enough for the owners to take a pound of flesh and let Robins rebuild.

I mean, sure. Given the scale of the rebuild we have to do next summer, I think it would have been prudent to cash in on at least one of those players at peak value and get the work started on that sooner, but the window for that has gone now. I think we’re in a world of trouble with squad turnover next summer, and I’m not sure how we’re going to fund it - maybe by selling all three of our top players as you suggest, instead of just one.

well by your own logic we have to sell all 3 as they’ll all be free agents in 18 months

…..unless we use some of the proceeds from a sale to give them new contracts?

O’Hare was going to be that big sale but then for the first time with us he got a serious injury right before it happened. As it is we need to persuade Joy to hold off on extracting more flesh until all 3 can go at once.

I think selling all three at once is a terrible idea. Especially if none of them are at peak value. Oh well.

I think we have little alternative

Missed the boat on that for O’Hare and Hamer sadly.

Can see O’Hare going in Jan, and us getting a loan replacement and a RCB in, then Vik and maybe Hamer and Sheaf going in the summer.

Don’t get the impression that the Hyam sale will keep the wolves from the door all season.

Buy your own tops & we might win the league

@Sick Boy

I do think we will be mid table yeah. You all seem to be banging on about relegation hence why I suggested that as a bet. Happily take £30 on 15th or higher to the charity Mind.

What you feeling still reckon relegation is calling for us?

 

[Sick Boy]

@Sick Boy

16th

 

[skyblu3sk]

16th

Even at 16th I will happily pay up. Still feel like you should too for the sheer volume of bed wetting

 

[robbiekeane]

Go on then - I think that takes me up to around 5 charity bets on the go.

 

[Skybluedownunder]

I’d hardly say time to breathe, we lose to Wigan and we could be back down there again, it’s so tight

Fine by me as long as its not "Sick boy's benevolent fund..."

Is it time to pick your charity @Sick Boy?

8 points clear of 15th

 

[skyblu3sk]

8 points clear of 15th

I'll take that at this point in the season! And safe all ready of course.

 

[skyblu3sk]

Right then @Sick Boy. think its time. What charity are you going for?

 

[skyblu3sk]

8 points clear of 15th

Were you in the charity bet zone too?

 

[Sick Boy]

You’ve won the bet so it’s up to you - wasn’t it Mind?

 

[skyblu3sk]

That was my choice, but I know you had concerns. Also happy to send money to my charity too!

Hahahah

 

[Sick Boy]

Ahh I just meant that if I won I’d choose a different charity - no probs with donating to them whatsoever. I’m away on honeymoon at the moment so will do it once back at the end of next week - will PM you once done.

Who’s my £30 going to then? Can you send a screenshot to confirm thanks.

If it’s my choice can you do Warwickshire air ambulance please. Cheers mate

Exactly why I posted the thread in the first place, was sick of the groundhog day bed wetting. People not seeing the wood for the trees. Not looking at the fixtures and circumstances and writing off an entire season after a shite hand dealt at the start of the season.

It does feel a lifetime ago though, such a lot has changed and the future looks a lot more rosie. Fingers crossed we can see this home and reach the play-offs

Just wanted to say fair play to @Sick Boy for paying up his charity bet given how many he made this is actual footage...
