Interesting only 2 clubs in championship announced released player lists
Interesting only 2 clubs in championship announced released player listsRobins will have two lists, one if we stay in the championship another for the prem. if we fail tonight, don’t think we will, Robins will start his re-build, straight away the Vik & Hamer position will become clearer as will a number of our fringe players.
Wonder if that indicates the financial plight throughout the division, released players have to be replaced, costs money.Interesting only 2 clubs in championship announced released player lists

It does but I’d think they would be a cheaper option and the club knows what it’s getting some out of contract players will be off but some might be happy to do a one year deal, it’s a harsh world out there in football land.I'd be surprised if that were the case as it costs money to renegotiate and extend contracts also i'd think.
And Hamer.
Just been thinking about this.
Really think we should be looking into the East Asian transfer market.
Celtic have had some great success buying in this market recently, for quite tidy prices.
It would boost revenue streams over there as well.
Yep Ange does seem to have a good knowledge of over there. Really think it could be a good opportunity for us.They have an Australian manager who will already know quite a bit about players from AFC countries.
at first look ,I thought it said East Anglian!!! then thought surely we aren't looking at Ipswich or Norwich, Chaplin or Pukki?? so glad I re-read it hahhaJust been thinking about this.

Interesting. Isn't he the one who played CB for Blues but plays RWB for Rotherham?
doubt it, he’s just been released by Rotherham

I watched the Derby play of for that season they went up (vs WBA?) On sky earlier in the year. Fuck me did they lack quality, it was like watching a L2 team play.Derby 2007
Blackpool 2010
Huddersfield 2017
All went up unexpectedly and with under strength squads, of course one set the record but the other two fought hard enough to either stay up or take it to the last day. To be clear I see us losing tomorrow but if we did squeeze through it wouldn’t be a humiliation on Derby’s level.
Yea it's a classic example of a good manager coming from a foreign league and picking some gems.They have an Australian manager who will already know quite a bit about players from AFC countries.
Yes he was best player for them in all 3 games.That McGree lad at Middlesbrough could do a job in my opinion, if we go up I’d put a bid in
Also mcnally and Doyle would be a great bit of business
He would be brilliant in Allens position.Yes he was best player for them in all 3 games.
Armstrong alongside Vik might be a good comboWould it be worth a punt to take Adam Armstrong from Saints if we went up?
Also I would take Max Aarons from Norwich.
He's certainly been prolific for Southampton ........ oh hang on, scrub that.Armstrong alongside Vik might be a good combo
Blackpool came straight downIf we go up I wouldn't want a Forest style mad splurge. Just not sustainable in our situation. Sod the risks that brings.
I'd rather we build a strong base for the future. I could totally handle being a yo-yo club or even just a regularly competitive top end champ team.
Besides some smart investment and picking up good frees can work. Teams like Huddersfield and Blackpool have survived the first season without going totally mad.
Ah bollocks! Really thought they survived one season. Well I'm sure there are others that have done ok without massive investment?Blackpool came straight down
Blackpool played some good stuff iirc. They had a proper rag tag team. I remember being impressed by Gary Taylor-Fletcher that season, he couldn't have looked less like a top flight footballerAh bollocks! Really thought they survived one season. Well I'm sure there are others that have done ok without massive investment?

But yeah, if we can keep Vik & Gus 4-5 soild editions may be enough. You certainly wouldn't want to spend every drop like Forest did upon promotion! Saying that if we could get in a player of Gibbs-White quality I'd be buzzingAh bollocks! Really thought they survived one season. Well I'm sure there are others that have done ok without massive investment?
Lack Championship quality yet finished 5th, how does that work?We lack championship quality let alone prem, we've got players that go as far back as league two. I fear we'd need a similar overhaul as the likes of forest, and even then you don't know how that will play out. Outside of the loans, vik, hamer and sheaf are the only ones I'd class as top champ/lower prem players. Im not exaggerating when I say this, but if we went up, we'd have likely the worse squad that's ever made it to the prem from the championship.
