richinspain Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 4 hours ago, Ghost of Clough said: Any player aged under 21 as of Jan 1st prior to the season starting (ie born in 2001 or later for last season). I thought it was only academy graduates, but it seems to include signigs too (such as Rooney). For the current season, Sibley and Cashin are no logner excluded from the SCMP calculation, but Thompson and Rooney still are. The academy costs around £4m a year at the moment. So you're saying then that in this £4m a year the wages of all players 21 or under are included? Obviously that means that the average wage of the first team squad is higher, but it really does make more sense to keep the category one status.

IslandExile Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 So, I have calmed down after the Northampton defeat. The dust has settled. I can now look calmly over the season as a whole, where we were and how far we have come and so forth, and come to a rational and considered opinion based on all that I know. I still want Warne gone. Yes, nice bloke, bobble hats, next to no budget, this, that and the other. But whatever the outcome from this season: promotion, play-offs, missing out, whatever league we play in next season.....

No, academy would be U21 squad and down with all staff and maybe building costs included. U21 players are simply excluded from the SCMP calculation.

SSD Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 (edited) I'm not sure how much I can pin on Warne for Saturday. Surely he couldn't have instructed the players to hoof the ball up in those conditions? Did he tell Sonny Bradley to headbutt that player and rule him out for 3 games? I've never been a fan of Warne however I pin alot of Saturday on players. Missing ridiculous chances, lack of discipline, insane decisions on the ball. Okay, he should have made changes at half time however the players should take accountability. I can put my opinions aside of him for this season because we have got an unbelievable chance for automatic promotion. It's the next level where I am interested to see how he performs. Will he completely rebuild the squad as he's hinted at because I sincerely hope he does. Players like Sonny Bradley shouldn't be anywhere near the first team squad in the championship. Nothing personal, we don't need liabilities on high wages. More players like Adams and Nyambe is the way to go. They suit Warne football perfectly.

The tone was set early on when Wildsmith decided to smash a restart at shin height to Thommo on the touchline with absolutely no pressure on either of them, and it went into touch! No composure from 1 to 11 (CBA to go through the squad numbers!). Crewton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimtastic56 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Paul is “Safe as houses “ now at DCFC . However he must be looking on with sadness at Rotherham- who go down again tonight if they lose . He put loads of hard work in there over the years but they never invested in Championship players when they got up .

DesertRam Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 On 24/03/2024 at 10:38, DCFC Kicks said: Its because there are no foundations. Warne just takes every game as it comes and tries to ground out a result by any means. It is working most of the time, but I'm never truly that shocked whenever we lose a game to anyone. It feels like Warne picks one-off tactics for each opponent and hopes they work, but occasionally they don't or the opponent works them out in-game and we lose. There's no longevity or continuity to anything he's implementing. You have just described technological improvement, and computer analysis - which cost thousands at Moor Farm! jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never said it wasn't effective, but it won't work if we get promoted when most other teams have the same technology. If it starts failing there's nothing to fall back on.

Comrade 86 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Well, well! Suspect either Mousinho or Skubaala will be named the winner this time around, but kudos to PW all the same. Ebou ought to be a shoe-in for my money, but I seldom get these things right. A thoroughly well deserved nomination, whatever the outcome. angieram and RadioactiveWaste 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
