Will I be able to RamsTV this one without having to travel to Hungary?

Sods law that reading is my 2nd closest venue to home but I'm working in Gloucester this week 🙄

They don't even pay their first team!

I think you're getting mixed up with the many many players who've signed but never played...... might have ambled around a bit...

We're the only L1 club running a Cat1 academy I believe.

10.5m deal believed but was officially undisclosed. So no knowledge of components of upfront fee, add ons etc. Hughes on a similar basis rumoured to be 8m. Best case then, got 18.5m. academy been cat a for 10 years. Neither of those players came through the cat 1 academy. Not saying don't have any academy. Have a cat 2 one. Fees/costs considerably lower. Paying 2m pa now for what we have got for the last 7 years or so is not going to be sustainable.

I think that's the difference between accountancy rules as they apply to businesses in general and the EFL capricious rules which don't have to make sense to anybody and only apply to the 72 businesses that are the EFL clubs?

Min £2m per season academy budget required to be cat A Hughes was sold nearly 7 years ago. Those sums are not likely to add up unless we're producing steady revenue from sales (we were raided during admin) or are producing half the 1st team.

He's being played out of position! Has Warney been voted manager of the week?

Can't afford the academy for what good we get from it....

I thought O'Connor was one of the Jewell influx with Connolly, coutts et al? Mind, it's a few years ago now.....🤔

Cashing in on a stellar season that happens once in a career just like we did with David McGold.....er.......oh, hang on......🤔

What we need is to have a big cushion in case our feb-mar curse strikes us....

Mm. Thought that seeing as Lincoln hadn't won at home in 8, Cheltenham have agent Curtis and reading are disaffected, we had a great chance for 9 points. 7 would still be ok, but margins for error are small.

But I presume now that the EFL have prescribed their player valuation rules, and that Jason Knight was home grown, his value in those accounts would be very low.

Given some of the crocks we seem to end up with I cannot believe ANYONE fails a DCFC medical....... ... unless they're clinically dead I suppose.

I think we'd have done much better if we'd worn the green kit. We seem to play quite well in that. I'm sure there will be stats somewhere of our performances by kit......😉

But but but.....Premier League!!!! Perhaps they should consider throwing their weight behind a European super league with their 2 stars from the 70s when they managed to beat some swedish tradesmen

Aren't we in for a winger?

We have. Can't remember how many that is.

0-1 Need to get our defensive meanness back. So play a 5-3-2 and less of this dribbly wingplay. Obviously that means we'll only create 2 chances per game but NML will bag one.

She's a mean pasty crimper, what with only having 1 remaining tooth....

I know a Beryl who works in Jane's Pantry in Gloucester. Don't think she's in the know however.....

THE club scout. Do we only have the one?

I'm an ABF fan.....time for agent Knight to rise to the occasion...
