He definitely played his part, albeit I think we were all probably expecting more from him. A wage budget of £8 million, we could get Haarland for 16 weeks with that 😂😂😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the recipe for a happy camp unless CH is shooting the lights out. As mentioned elsewhere, Didzy’s opening gambit must surely have been 2 years at a number exceeding CH last season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJH Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Decision’s expected from Knight this week. Staff here confident as we’ve not moved for anyone else. Time will tell I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambitious Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 If he turns down Bristol, it doesn’t mean in a few weeks that he gets a better opportunity and goes there. The sooner the better, providing the funds are forthcoming from Bristol and the deal looks like what the club what financially then hopefully it gets done.

Why are we a “shower”, if you don’t mind me asking? In the past then yeah, fair enough. But we’re 1 year into the biggest rebuild we’ve ever faced and a lot of effort is being put into it by Clowes & the boardroom, as well as Warne & the coaching staff. To just dismiss it as a “shower” is pretty disrespectful to all that work so far. i-Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoke make the most sense financially - as we know they’re able to dope their finances heavily with bet365 money. Most Championship sides account roughly £1.5-£2m in sponsorship and advertising, whilst they’re sat at £10m plus. A third of their income. It makes a massive difference at this level, gives them a financial edge. The problem is that they’re unable to ever put it together and that’s why they’re a midtable championship side, despite all of that. I get the feeling that it’s quite a toxic club, more recently, the fans hold a negative view of the club and a lot of apathy. Ipswich would be my pick out of the three clubs linked so far, but it seems they’ve gone with the lad from Peterborough as their first choice.

Hourihane was an absolutely wonderful player at a time, but is regressing and that’s why we were able to pick him up for £12k a week (or less). He still had a good impact in terms of goals and assists. More should’ve been expected of Bird and Knight than Hourihane, after all they’re the players that we wanted multiple millions for - rather than the guy who we were able to sign on a free. jono 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way is he good enough for the prem. Sorry, I know he's an academy product and we tend to get misty eyed over them but, certainly last season he didn't pull up any trees. If he's that good he would have bossed this league. Only my opinion of course 😂 DiggerB, i-Ram and Rammy03 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
