The whole thing seems so depressing at the moment. The timing of this is certainly interesting. Topram and REDCAR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A team full of bearded tattooed hoofball journeymen Feel the same, Warne spoke well of Knight, similar to Cashin and Bird for that matter at times, yet he can’t get the best of our youngsters because of the cloggers he’s signing or journeymen we’re stuck with at their career ends. Cashin possibly going way higher says something about his potential; even if it’s the championship, it’s still a level higher than now and I’m not confident right now he’ll get there with us anyway.

Leeds Ram Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Not sure why we'd get rid of him unless he really wants to go. We need to definitely have him in the squad this year, so a loan back would be really important. I'm not convinced he'd be cut out for premier league football, so they'd always be the chance of another loan next season too you would think.

Have you ever considered that it's in fact your mind set that is depressing yourself? Cue you being encouraged to then regurgitate the reasons for your total dissatisfaction. I blame myself. Amen to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't ever see you posting anything that contributes to a thread in any positive way whatsoever. All you do (and other notable posters), is attack other people who have an opinion that is different to yours..who on earth do you think you are? Walk to the nearest bathroom; look in the mirror and when you see yourself, you should feel shame the way you speak to other people. Apart from that, thank you for your contribution. That's a surprise, the old "everyone is entitled to an opinion" defence. It's possible to write well reasoned and critical posts to cover a wide range of opinions. Just continually posting a continuous stream of negative bile all day gets rather tiresome. The matchday threads are almost useless now if we are losing. A handful of posters, most of whom only show up when we are losing, posting ultra-negative, boring, humourless posts over and over again.

JPRamFan Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 I don't want to lose him but if we got 3mil plus and a loan back for the season that would be good business, especially considering he only has 1 year left on his contract. At least under Clowes we might become a much better selling club than we were under Mel. Remember selling Will Hughes for a packet of peanuts and a bag of skittles.

MaltRam Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Sell. I love Cash, but he's not going to sign on again so we must, ahem, cash in. Loan back would be amazing.

Marriot Ram99 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Would sell if we can spend the money if we can't and it's just going to give Clowes extra capital to buy more Clowes properties in the area to rent out to new signings then rather we keep him.

QuitYourJibbaJivin Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 As much as we’ve grown to admire these young lads, surely the only reason the club is considering selling is because they will have indicated they aren’t going to sign new deals? If they were it would have been done already. I can’t say I blame them for not signing new deals as each will have aspirations of playing at a higher level. However, if you’re not prepared to sign a new deal because you want to keep your options open if things don’t go to plan this season, can you really be as fully committed as you say you are?

I don’t think there’s any libel in it, personally, it seems to just be an unusual opinion on what Clowes intends to do with money from the club. @David may think otherwise… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magicman Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 I would cash in because he will be a free deal after Jan. Let him go and find a place for Rooney to develop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnigmaRam Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Knowing our business model we’ll sell him, then pay a loan fee in excess of the sum received for selling him. The Derby Way DCFC1388 and Jram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NottsRam77 Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 (edited) For 3m id definitely sell …. But i am genuinely worried about where we’re at (caveat not as worried as i was last summer lol) Are we still under a business plan? Are we able to spend any money at all? what confuses me is that clowes said we have a good budget for the division.. yet weve still to spend a penny bar wages but then bielik and off the wage bill would cover most of that. There was a lot of talk about getting a more rounded age group into the building but bar elder and ward (just) weve yet to do that and have signed players at the tail end of their careers. i wasnt expecting us yo go crazy and scatter gun but was hoping that we would get some much needed energy (23-26) that maybe still needed rounding but were here to work on. if we sell cash for another journyman or two ill be very disappointed. Unless this is all a buying us time exercise to get away from this business plan where we can be a little more free and creative… or maybe to let the accademy recruits come of age 🤷 i dont know… it all seems a little meh and rudderless in terms of a strategy atm.. and i wasnt asking or expecting a lot Edited August 17, 2023 by NottsRam77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just part of the conspiracy to keep us down. GB SPORTS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
