We just see them as coaching staff / extension of manager. Managers and players have fixed period contracts. These are full time employees (like the tea lady) and we cannot afford the £ to make them redundant.

Lets vote on this critical topic to gauge opinion. Now a realistic prospect. Some will see it as a new beginning (next Bolton) whilst some will be terrified it could be the end (next Bury). Poll above.

Due to teams below us winning at teams above us. We are closer to relegation as a result.

Positives. Pears, Tronstad, JRC

Szmodics played a training match today. Wonder why.

Pears MOTM Save earlier Comes and CATCHES it in injury time COMMANDING his box.

Play big striker down the middle. Don't cross the ball all afternoon. Genius

11 days to go. 🤣 I presume it's a digital sale and they won't be running out today wearing printed price tags.

Tear up the Memorandum of Understanding. The Trust are shackled to Waggott by it. Aka in his pocket.

Oh dear. What you should have typed is And this is the problem with our owners - zero ambition.

@Herbie6590 we should have a poll, who wants the court to say no ? I hope they say no. We can't waste more years on this shit. They need backing into a corner with no way out.

You may have stumbled on something Waggott's big club statement was... It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not

Waggott's got Brockhall in hock

Even with my bluest and whitest of blue and white glasses, I don't see Wharton is a £20m player right now. In the future maybe, add ons etc. But we can't spend those today or count them in FFP and in football sometimes they never come.

Administration... we're half way there

One thing I don't think anyone really understands (I don't). If we sell Gally for £1m next week (for example). How is it in any way possible that £1m in the bank would not be seen as available for essential running costs (not for none essential player purchases). Unless there is a one out, one in (as long as not costing more) agreement in place. I guess the paperwork is in for this round but could be a factor in the next one.

100% accurate. Couldn't be summarised any better.

I get what you are getting at but surely all of the current costs are deemed essential running costs ? Then the losses are the losses. Otherwise we would have got rid of it already. I would get shut of Suhail but in terms of the Indian court, an employees wages will be essential. I don't think there will be any negative impact on our FFP compliance (the one thing the club always trumpets). Of course I could be wrong. Just my thoughts on it.

Venkys can never cover losses under FFP. It has to be covered by income (tv, tickets, commercial, player sales).

I imagine the Reading owner was sat in the stand. Remember Rovers fans on the pitch exactly like this, shouting FOX OUT in front of the Nuttall Street Srand. Of course he was present and there was someone to hurl the frustration at. Oh if we knew then what we know now. Whilst our owners are completely absent, there is nowhere to direct such action. It would have to be a televised game abandoned to create even a ripple of attention with these cun7s.

And to avoid this situation in summer, we need £11million of additional sales income (not Venky handouts) by 30th June. £11million less the Raya money (£5million isn't it?) IF that deal is completed before 30th June. Same scenario as when we sold the training ground because the Armstrong sale didn't happen in time. Although the Armstrong money then vanished so we were left without both. So what player assets do we have who can muster £11m (or £6m) before 30th June ? And with the window system is that 2 months of time to do it ? So where is the Szmodics rumour from ? Developing the Championship top scorer in 1 year and selling him is EXACTLY the project the club announced. They have never once mentioned promotion. Only avoiding relegation.

If JDT goes, I am certain they will employee Rooney. Utter desperation meets utter desperation.

Leo nowhere near that shot. He was also at fault for the 5th disallowed goal. He only needed to walk out and catch it. He can't catch but that is what a keeper would have done.

I guess when the players found out Szmodics was being left out in the transfer window, they just thought "fuck it, we're done".

He would laugh in our faces after Cheston gave him the job only for Suhail to pull the plug & give it to Coyle.
