That's called 'doing a Leicester' and I want no part of it.

I don’t think you are correct. This is saving a business that would have otherwise failed giving benefit to creditors.*

Letting it fail and go into admin is doing a Leicester.

*Is there really any other option for a business with huge debt and little income?

Isn’t there some insolvency steps that occur before you are talking admin?

Creditors getting Xp/£ rather than risk of nothing.

Helping club recover should be in the interest of the creditors with chance of getting future return.

I guess MM being one of the biggest creditors, probably the one not so keen?

Pearson would probably release Chris Martin if he could. Would we be interested (?)?

Boris Johnson texted me last night saying hubba hubba big girl. 

Dont know if this is code for “I have loads of cash to buy Derby, but can you lend me £58 for a chair from home bargains”

Suspect it is choice (for MM) of having a fake better offer from Arabic and Spanish chancers or mediocre offer which is more realistic value from US given current state of the market.

We shouldn’t pay money for anyone as we have been keeping all the other clubs in credit with crap purchases and then they have the cheek to complain that we spend too much. 

I think we will need to pay for centre forward. Either in fee if contracted, or wages if out of contract (or loan fee if prem reserve).

Other than that, I agree.

We need a centre back who is a leader and vocal, as good as Clarke is he isnt that. We need a younger version of Davies, just like we need a younger & more mobile version of CKR

At his best I thought CKR was more mobile than I expected, but in recent weeks he has not been fully fit. Did not expect to be using him this much, but with R&R I expect him to be useful to us next season.

Definitely need a #1 striker next year. This will be the biggest recruitment test as while there will be some quality budget opportunities in other positions, goal scorers never come cheap. Need to sign a “Tony” from a prem club before they become a “Tony”. 

If he keeps playing it will be on a low wage somewhere, so it may as well be our low wage?

Fancy one of these for tea..

Lockdown dog buyers. EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM.

Sounds pretty speculative/ obvious link to me. 

Some of the football was pretty Meh at times..

If he had stayed without Mount and Tomori I suspect that last season would have been a big struggle for him with no better finish than Cocu achieved (and the usual crowd calling for his sacking).

SNAP!

Absolutely no need for a new thread, when a perfectly titled and appropriate (long running) thread already exists.
The OP to this thread would have fit right in...

 

 

 

Sigh...

Very rarely start a thread and I am called out for annoying people... 

Some irony here somewhere..

Night all...

When my daughters don’t put towel on the rail right (just kind of balled up stuffed).. grr.

Why. Why does it irritate me?

What gets your goat?

I think title (autos) push looks tricky when you think also of likely quality coming down from prem.

No reason to not feel optimistic about playoffs given form if last few months. Yes, some players will come and others will go but likely to be many available because of covid etc...

Lower risk for us going down the loan route I assume.

If he turns out amazing, someone else might then buy him in the summer though.

I would have thought MC would be looking to sell for a fee, not just loan and let his contract run out (go for nothing). He looked good enough at Celtic to get bids on some £M would have thunk.

Wikipedia says he signed to M.City from Fulham for £12M. Must have significant wage to go with that too (assuming accurate).

Surprised if option for permanent was realistic as a consequence, especially if he plays well.

Seems a bit immoral to be selling young boys...

On bbc rumours. Stated Glenn Murray to Forest?.

37, but a good short term one in my view for us, till end of season.

Not looked through thread but I’m watching Fargo series on Netflix.

Pretty decent.

There hasn't been that many and certainly not enough of Gordon on show to claim he is the best we've had. 

We have had some supposed great prospects who have never made it before. Probably a 5% chance or less that he will be a worldy.

Any players that don’t want to get paid ??

Interns. Like the sound of that.

Company bike instead of Lamborghini.

My feeling last Jan was that Marriott was very motivated when WR started playing. If WR rates him I think we should give him another go.

You could do 5k lose, 10k draw and 15k win (to make it exciting).

Go for it dude....
