Chances of Styles/Kitching being announced today?
Don't go over the top. At least try to keep it vaguely believable!Oh no, we might get relegated twice, go bust, lose any tenure on our ground, move out of the city a couple of times and have to watch Peter Vincenti.
Also risk morale within the squad. We've been a tight nit - small squad for years - and our team spirit has got us through more than once. Will a squad full of superstars be the same. In Robbings We Trust.Oh no, we might get relegated twice, go bust, lose any tenure on our ground, move out of the city a couple of times and have to watch Peter Vincenti.
I was with you then, until you mentioned Peter VincentiOh no, we might get relegated twice, go bust, lose any tenure on our ground, move out of the city a couple of times and have to watch Peter Vincenti.

Must have lost the plot when signing Todd Kane then?Yeah that’s a fair comment. I’m given confidence by Robins’ recruitment strategy that seems to firstly be “don’t sign dickheads”. Even our Yankee superstar seems relatively down to Earth for a Yank.
It was always too early to go up last season. It would have been amazing but not a disaster It didn't happenWe're going to end up with a better team than Sheffield Utd and Luton aren't we? Didn't think i'd get over the play off final but really looking forward to this season and would be more confident if we got promoted having to add to this team than the one we had last season.
No such thing. We would have just revamped the squad like we have this year just with more money and different targetsIt was always too early to go up last season. It would have been amazing but not a disaster It didn't happen
But still have had a weaker squad. Luton may not survive but i think missing out the year before has helped them have a chanceNo such thing. We would have just revamped the squad like we have this year just with more money and different targets
With virtually all of the squad now being on permanent, relatively long term contracts though, if we miss out this time then the following season should be more open and we'll still have pretty much everyone but with a year's more development and cohesion under their belts.Just a shame it's the most competitive champ season ever this year on paper .. if we could just have last seasons division with our new squad that would be lovely thanks
They also raided Barnsley last summer...But still have had a weaker squad. Luton may not survive but i think missing out the year before has helped them have a chance

Yup. Have to believe we are in a position to go for playoffs every year now for a while like king said.With virtually all of the squad now being on permanent, relatively long term contracts though, if we miss out this time then the following season should be more open and we'll still have pretty much everyone but with a year's more development and cohesion under their belts.
No guarantee that vik would have stayed. We had to replace a lot of players but the budget to so that in the Premier to even be semi competitive would be massive. Better imo to build a squad nowHow so? We’d have everyone we had, plus Vik and Gus, but would have signed PL quality instead of what we did.

Vik was asked at a fans forum a few months back if he would stay:No guarantee that vik would have stayed. We had to replace a lot of players but the budget to so that in the Premier to even be semi competitive would be massive. Better imo to build a squad now
Everyone who's signed is more likely to increase than decrease in value, so it does set us up to continuously sell and reinvest provided that the recruitment team makes more good calls than bad ones.Yup. Have to believe we are in a position to go for playoffs every year now for a while like king said.
And if we do sell we can command big fees and then replace them with our ever expanding recruitment team
Are we now a Brighton Brentford or Bournemouth? Will we always be a good team from now on?
You make it sound like you can pick and choose. Whatever way you look at missing out on £180m and exposure the club hasn’t had for 20+ years is not a good thingIt was always too early to go up last season. It would have been amazing but not a disaster It didn't happen
Pepperidge farm remembersRmemeber when posters used to write dumb shit like "I hope we never make it to the prem" lol
We’ve certainly made progress towards that model. The returns on Vik and Gus have really seen us take a huge leap forward in the quality of player we can acquire and develop. The telling phase will be the ability to do this whilst maintaining and improving the performance of the team - identifying replacements and bringing them onboard before selling the more finished articles. We’ve got a huge opportunity if we get it right and stick to the plan. And it really came from just 2 players.Yup. Have to believe we are in a position to go for playoffs every year now for a while like king said.

I didnt say it was. I said it wasnt a disaster we didnt go up. Massive difference really.You make it sound like you can pick and choose. Whatever way you look at missing out on £180m and exposure the club hasn’t had for 20+ years is not a good thing
There’s no short or long term guarantee we’ll be in the same position again so I’d rather just take the opportunity when it arises regardless of it being too “early”I didnt say it was. I said it wasnt a disaster we didnt go up. Massive difference really.

Tent Alexander-ArnoldGot any potential names for the marquee signing?
Got any potential names for the marquee signing?
interested to see how our wage budget compares this year to last.
We've got some relatively high earners off the wages (Waghorn,Walker etc), but have now spent large transfer fees on players who inevitably will be on higher wages.
Surely we won't still be in the bottom 2/3 wage wise?
took me a while !!Heard were after a lad Gareth Ebo goes by the name Gaz. Definite marquee signing.
Robins will know that it is what it is and it was going to happen at some point people are reading far too much
Danny ‘Awn’IngsGot any potential names for the marquee signing?
Financially yes you are correct however from a playing point of view it wouldn't be.There’s no short or long term guarantee we’ll be in the same position again so I’d rather just take the opportunity when it arises regardless of it being too “early”
…but the financial allows you to build a better playing team.Financially yes you are correct however from a playing point of view it wouldn't be.
