Taribo

Doesn't want to be here We can't afford his wages for him to be here 1 year left on his contact 2 ACL injuries The fact we're getting money for him to go permanently and we're not just loaning him before he goes for free is a bonus.

Please reassure me and tell me your aren't our new head of recruitment, please 🙏 😉

Hi Jake
Prepare for defeats snatched from the jaws of victory
Prepare for failed expectations, false dawns and dashed hopes
Prepare for occasional triumphs
Prepare for having your heart broken, but loving them just the same
This is your life now
Welcome to the club
 

Surely this cannot be correct and someone of such reputation couldnt possibly want to come and work with Paul Warne 😂😂
Excellent appointment and sign of intent 

Sounds an exciting appointment. I hadn't realised how much I missed seeing our youth teams play and do well. How enjoyable it is watching our youngsters develop and aim for a first team place. I hope we see more of the U21s/U18s on RamsTV. Have you any info on that @Owen87ITK?

Used to run Southampton’s academy…impressive move 

Heck. You’re a bundle of joy. As if Monday mornings weren’t depressing enough already.😀
I really don’t think there were many/any who would have seriously preferred us to go bust and start in a lower league. I reckon many were just trying to focus on the (few) positives if the worst ever did happen.
Regarding Clowes, he should be everyone’s hero at the moment for stepping in to same the club from a worse fate. If he needs to pump in a load of his own money to win you round then I think you’ll be sadly disappointed. I can’t see him splashing the cash (and rightly so). Plus, regardless of his wealth, and how much of it he might be foolishly prepared to risk on the club, the remaining restrictions may well limit this.
Finally, if the announcement of a shirt sponsor is likely to have thrilled anyone that’s just weird. Shirt sponsorship is just a necessary evil (it does nothing to enhance the appearance of the shirts) in order to generate income. We should just be hoping it’s not a silly name, an ugly appearance or an unsavoury business.

I remember a fair portion of fans on here in favour of the club going bust and starting in the lower divisions (I wasn't one of them), but except for paying a huge amount of money for our club and I am not a Clowes fan yet, I need persuading. I never was of the Americans either, nor Webb, or Gadsby. I was sad to see Rosenior pushed, and Wassall too, bemused by both decisions that have never been communicated to fans. I am so disappointed to see McGoldrick leave. I am reading into it that we would not offer him a two-year contact.
Not finding a sponsor and that awful shirt design too didn't thrill me. The January transfer window could not have been more disappointing. Money-wise David Clowes's personal wealth is around £250m, family-wise considerably more – on par with Gibson at Boro – so I will be disappointed if we don't spend something, a few bob, and show ambition to get out of this league asap. I'm hoping that to attract Warne he gave him promises that the cheque book would be dusted off. It's ages since we paid a fee for a player and that was £11,000 to Dungannon Swifts.

Summer is going swimmingly then, McGoldrick off to Notts County and Roberts not signing.
Can't beat a good old fasioned Derby County transfer window 😆

Our record won't be broken for quite some time still I would guess. It's hard to see how anyone can fail like we did in every area of running a football club in the premier league at such a short time as one single season. Everything that could go wrong went even worse and then some 🫣   

She’d already sprinted past Collins ?

We’ve lost a lot of talented potential over the last couple of years due to our situation. We’ve not been able to see how they could have flourished if they’d have stayed and gained first team experience.
On the subject in hand, Wassall has done a good job and stepped in wherever we’ve needed him.
The dogs abuse he got when he replaced Mac was completely uncalled for.
He’s seen the academy through good and bad times and always done a good job. 
 
Shame to see him go and good luck to him!

Isn’t he contracted until the end of June ?

Nahh, not aimed at you, just the media getting it wrong!

One Daryl Powell is fine when they're surrounded by much better quality players.
However,you get the impression that if Warney finds one, it will BE the quality in his team......🤣

Unfortunately I'm sure we will if Warne can find him.

I've heard we're after Ferrie Bodde from Swansea...

I have it on good authority that we're still paying him, but luckily we're close to the end of his pay off which is due in 2029

Not been linked with him yet.  It's been the norm for 20 years.  Is he about 75 now..this could be the year.

Jozefzoon is available , bring him home 

I have it on good authority that we're still paying him, but luckily we're close to the end of his pay off which is due in 2029

I actually think this could be a blessing in disguise....
If we'd been promoted, we would have really struggled to recruit decent Championship level players within the financial restraints that we'll be under next season (even assuming the EFL permitted us a bit more wriggle room) - it had the potential to be a horrible season with us spending most of the time in the lower reaches trying to fight off relegation. As it is, we will be after less-able (League One level) players, a lot of whom will have played at PP this season and will have liked what they've seen - we'll still be one of the biggest clubs in the division and we'll hopefully be able to recruit players to address the obvious gaps in the squad, permit us to have more options in the matchday squad, and really give it a go from the start of the season with a fully fit squad that have all had a proper pre-season (something we struggled with this year) - and if we do go up, we should be free of the EFL and their diktats when we start in the Championship to really give us a fair chance to compete....

To be fair to him, the $25m he splashed on his lifestyle would have otherwise been in Silicon Valley Bank and would have evaporated in the collapse. If anything he helped stimulate the economy in this economic downturn, think of all the poor luxury jet pilots he's saved from redundancy, top man.
