How dare you... @Oldbenhas been fact checking these recommendations for him too! Caerphilly Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are apparently out of debt now so £8.8 million would be clear profit if we go up and stay up Which gets back to trying to get better players in the is going to take us in the direction we want to go in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure that I did mention this so the idea that I don't know about the clubs financial plight is simply wrong and patronising What debts are you referring to? Suggesting we’ll pay a new signing £20k a week proves to me that you don’t have a realistic understanding of the club’s recent situation. We’re far more likely to split £20k per week across 2, 3 or at a stretch 4 players’ wages than one. Give it a rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give it a rest. £20 000 isn't a big wage in the championship who knows he might even play for less if he isn't joining Celtic Yes but it's the the quality we would be paying for a top player in his prime that we will see the best out of at 27 If we are out of debt surely that means they'll be money for players?

Looking at the way the finances are being run this season, I'd be shocked if Clowes starts throwing around £20k contracts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacKenna could end up moving to Saudi Arabia in a season like Jack Hendry who Steven Gerrard took over with him in my opinion MacKenna is the better player All I'm saying is that MacKenna might be a good option for us if he has settled his family in the area Guys a player we could certainly sell on and make a good bit of money on from a free transfer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re right it’s perhaps not a big wage in the championship relative to the club’s size, status, sponsorship, receipt of parachute money and the like. We are 2 years away from nearly going out of business, under new ownership who have publicly stated their intent to run the club sensibly and within its means. Logic dictates if we go up next season the club will probably recruit players on decent contracts but with the understanding we could just as readily be relegated at the end of the following season, saddling the club with playing contracts of £20k per week just doesn’t seem realistic for us on our first season back in the champ, IF that even happens. What do you think we’ll do in our weekend fixture? What formation will we see used? Who would you pick to start in midfield? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoy new posters with a bit of character so welcome though! I’m just trying to work out what the logic is behind the series of posts. I’ll be all over the suggestions once we’re done with the slightly more important and immediate focus of the next 8 league games.

And about suggesting really good ones that are cheap? It doesn't matter there nationilty or about were they come from.when there young enough to develop and sell on Yes next eight games are important but we all know we are going to be going up I've literally named Australian internationals with more caps than Elder that England struggled to break down I've literally mentioned a young Aberdeen player that Swansea already tried to buy that was playing and doing well in Europe Please tell me what fears league one or the championship would hold for them?
