heard from someone fairly reliable he hasn’t travelled with the squad
No room for him tonight in Hull
I have too, although we must prepare properly without him or any distractions. Doesn't mean it's over the line yet, but can't have someone not fully 100% or mind on the job. Yes I know he's contracted and a professional before someone says different, but he's also human and only natural not a criticism. It could be he's been asked to stay behind and reflect and think his options through. Despite his Scottish birth, he's also a Reading lad and quite a home/family boy I believe and still lives that way as do his family, so would need to relocate which might be a sticking block yet.heard from someone fairly reliable he hasn’t travelled with the squad
Well, we shall see how important he is soon won't be. A certain poster on here recently put him in the list with Reid, Shipley and Dacosta of not good enough. Soon find out.
Obviously not, I'm being hyperbolic.
Still doesn't make any sense to me to make your squad weaker, lose a valuable part of it and use that just to fund operating costs.
We need big sales and promising players coming in.
What we've got is mediocre sales of a solid player for no return.

I think gyokeres will also be saying his goodbyes
That is coming, next week.

The problem isn’t short term it’s long.
We need to sell for enough profit to cover both the losses and a replacement and ideally another. If we don’t then squad quality declines. It’s like selling your car because you’re short of cash then having no way to get to work. It just isn’t sustainable.
The financial management of the club has been horrific, masked by a once in a generation manager and a pandemic.
To solve the problem of a high rent for the ground we’ve ended up bleeding millions, sowing distrust among fans, and sharing with a load of egg chasers who call the shots. We’ve invested virtually nothing in net terms in the playing squad, failed to sell players at their peak and failed to replace those we have sold with more potential.
If the manager falters or goes, we drop back pretty quickly to an average L1 side sharing our pitch with a bunch of buffaloes and in a ground far too big for us.
8 Fucking years they’ve had to sort this crap out and it’s about to chop the most successful manager of my lifetime off at the knees.
Sorry, went a bit off piste there.
I think Dom leaving is the least of our worriesIt’s nothing more than a panic sale, senseless selling a decent reliable CB that starts week in week out less than a week before the season starts, to almost certainly not be replaced when we leak goals like they’re going out of fashion anyway. Not to mention we play a system with 3 CB’s and now have only 4 recognised CBs on the books 2 of which are loan players.
Defo legs on this one....
There’s significant potential in there being another oneDoes seem like a panic sale to plug the gaps.

Someone else on Twitter suggesting this…Have the club actually accepted a bid from Blackburn? John Dawkins is thanking him and wishing him well on Twitter but there's nothing at all on the Cov Tel website, not even about them being interested.

You could easily rephrase that as
Does seem like a sale to plug the gaps (which although a shame, is fine by me)
If we then sold Vik, I will feel completely different about it (as i worry, would MR)
Players come and go, but the timing would be sh*t, and it isn't too difficult to envisage a mood shift in the fanbase, which would be a real shame given the fantastic improvement in the atmosphere over the last few seasons. I'm going to Hull tomorrow and a victory would be a real shot in the arm that we all need.

If we sold Hyam and Vik I would completely understand it if the management team walked.
Where's the panic GIF? I know the transfer window hasn't closed yet but it doesn't seem so funny now does it.
A win tomorrow is vital as you can imagine the carnage of social media negativity that will followYou could easily rephrase that as

Let's be honest, from the moment some fans tried, and failed, to get 'Hyam the one and only' going as his song, his days were numbered.
