Tricky! - we could lose trying

Yeh I think our most talented youngsters all went for magic beans when the academy got gutted. The likes of Bird, Knight and Sibley are ok players with Bird and knight putting in a lot of good performances in particular, but I don't think we'll have many teams biting our hands off to take them. Maybe a lower end Prem team might take a punt on Knight, but Championship at best for the other two. 

If we got £2 mill for any of them I'd be delighted at this stage.

I believe we turned down a bid of £4 million for Bird from Burnley in January - we couldn’t spend any of it even if we had sold him 

Oh and there’s no chance we will see Belick play for us again as I expect him sold or simply released 

Proud to have had the lad play for my club - today was a poor back pass but it wasn’t  a foul and as such not a sending off 

If the likes of Knight and Bird receive decent offers you would expect the club to be looking to take the money so there are some difficult days coming in the next few months 

Let’s see who we can keep and where we can improve the team - an even hand from referees would improve everything very quickly 

Been very busy today - I have just seen that decision to give a penalty  what a disgrace by their player and a terrible decision by the referee again against us. To make it worse I have just seen the highlights from the Barnsley game who should have had two stonewall penalties against Peterborough. 
positives - it now saves me a lot of money in May ! 
over the season we have had the most dreadful decisions go against us repeatedly whilst we have simply not put the ball in the net often enough and we easily could have had an extra 20-25 points but we are where we are so let’s see who wants to stay and who we can get to improve the team.

A big shout out to Anton Ferdinand who made commenting on Man City Vs Leeds about as exciting as watching Jeremy Beadle putting his gloves on 

You can just imagine the conversations with his brother over the cornflakes 🤔

If it’s 0-0 with 10 mins to go on Sunday, I will be expecting Wildsmith to drop like a stone every time he gets his hands on the ball. The Wendies fans can Boo all they want.

If he does and Peterborough are 3-0 in front there will be some discontent

Sky subscription probably costs more than a season ticket so arguably they are the paying customer. Let's face it, the fans who go to games don't pay the players wages, the armchair experts do

Hopefully that swings more towards them and we get cheaper tickets as a result of this...

Apparently in the new stand built at Fulham the season tickets are going to be £3000 per season

138 live games for £120m per season increased to approx 1000 games for £190m. Still feels undervalued.

Considering SKY basically only has the EFL to give to its viewers for the high cost of a TV package - the premiership offerings is well divided domestically between BT and Amazon and SKY has zero European cup football to offer. Yes it’s a very poor offer to the EFL

im not sure how much the affect of parachute payments is overstated. Looking at the Champo this season, Burnley have gone straight back up and in the play off positions Luton, Millwall & Coventry don’t have them. Middlesbrough had a boost from the Mel Morris money but I doubt it was the £45m they were claiming.

it’s only really Sheff Utd who are benefiting, getting them for a second year in the Championship 

 

edit: forgot Coventry in the playoffs and Sunderland just outside them too 

They have all those points because Derby Leeds and Red dogs are not there to stop them having any

But 5k is the max now allowed there.

We have had occasions where they have given the full away end and half the right hand stand as you look at it from the away stand but anyway a decent club

You had under 5k this season 

And there has been many more seasons where they have given many more if asked - Barnsley are a decent club for that 

Shall we just beat sheff Wednesday on Sunday whilst Bolton lose to Bristol rovers and Peterborough lose to Barnsley then we can play Barnsley and they can give us over 6000 tickets like always

Messi is going to be a free agent this summer.

I think he could improve us.

Doesn’t run around enough for some on here.

It was reported when Will returned back to Sheff. U that it was because he wasn't getting enough game time with us. I just checked the stats and he's played exactly 20 mins [as sub] for their 1st team since leaving us...

More to do with them being in a transfer embargo I would suggest

The results against Fleetwood and mk dons still make me sick to the back teeth 

We deserved nothing against Fleetwood but we should have destroyed MK Dons - anyway there are loads of games where we have missed huge chances

I hope Paul Warne has a plan for Barry Bannan on Sunday. How he would love to have a Eustace type player to stick on him.We don’t want to be talking post match about how Bannan ran the show. I’m sure they have something waiting for McGoldrick.

Are you talking about the same player they have had for many years and the only successful thing he has managed to do is hep get them relegated to the third division?

Sorry but CM was not on the same planet as Eranio. Totally, completely, massively different class for me. Eranio was, as they say, a Rolls Royce (or a Pagani if we want an Italian link) of a player. CM was a higher end Vauxhall Vectra - perhaps a CDTi with leather seats and heated front screen. Obviously we're talking different times, different game, etc so I appreciate relatively speaking CM was a decent signing but let's not put him in the same sentence eh! 😉

When I first saw Eranio play, my jaw dropped. He just had that touch and vision that very, very few players have. TBE made many great signings but Eranio has to be his best all round signing. Whilst Ace and Stimac are up there, they were flawed (a bit mad, etc) so understandable why we we able to take a risk on them where others daren't but Eranio was zero risk - solid personality, great player, great pedigree, etc - just an amazing coup for us.

It wasn’t based just on ability more like about length of service season after season - one of them played in the premiership and one didn’t 🤷‍♂️

Tough question this one but in relatively modern times - Eranio was total class but Chris Martin turned out surprisingly to do extremely well over a decent period of time 

It’s not fair with having so many that we want to see fall flat on their noses this season and I blame Southampton for mucking up a fantastic treble 

Desperation time at Bellend road

Birmingham can't afford him, not permanently. Their club is almost as badly run as ours was before Mel pulled the plug.

It seems like we can’t afford to keep him either if we are in league one 

Both him and McGoldrick are the most likely we have to create a goal so he has to play usually - his confidence is down a bit after missing a couple of sitters in the last few home games - I also want him nowhere near our penalty box because he will lose his man and that’s why we have him here in the third division
