Re: New manager rumours and speculation

1871 podcast that came out today are confirming Wilder is the new manager - but I can’t see any confirmation anywhere.

Re: Andy Carroll

Keeping fit and being 'football fit' are massively different - but with our injury list we just have to all be optimistic that he can manage himself a bit better with age/experience to give us some games soon. It's another striker roll of the dice. Will he be another Les Ferdinand or Vydra flop? Or ...

Re: Joao Replacement

The problem is who will want to come to us and get paid pennies. Unless a club just wants their reserves to get game time and are prepared to pay for most of the wages in a loan deal we are a bit stuffed - anyone decent will have already been snapped up. Anyone free that is half decent will want goo...

Re: January Transfer Window

Rhodes is only available if we pay his wages. I believe he would become the highest paid member of our squad if we were to sign him, so for that reason alone it's a no from me. We did that with Olivera, stalled being announced as he wanted lots more cash and we caved in. What about a Rhodes loan ti...

Re: Blackett to Turkey.

He's had a reasonable run recently, but has also cost us a lot of goals when playing, just doesn't get tight to his player, drifts away, look like simple goals to not concede and has been the case for years with him. The games we draw and lose are often fine margins, he's a liability IMO. If he does...

Re: January Transfer Window

What we don't want is the recent run to peter out into another season of nothingness mid-table at best nonsense, when the maths suggest we are still in touching distance if we get our act together. We have no idea what cash, if any, is available, and if that is forcing having to sell, get cheap play...

Re: Rumour - Chris Martin

Realistically we aren't going to buy anyone in this window, unless others leave to free up the money. So loan deals it is. If Chris Martin is available, on a loan, i'd take a punt. He may not be banging them in of recent but can we do any worse when playing formations with wingers as the forward who...

Re: Return of the Pog

Absolutely no way would I want him back. It was all down hill from him joining us. Effort/Performances versus what we were paying each week for him made it a painful watch. His missus was fairly tidy though from the times i'd see her in the players lounge, her and Vidra's missus would be welcome bac...

Re: RUMOUR - Nelson Oliveira

well looks like we have 3 main options, and have for a while - Hugill, Aluko and Oliveira. All 3 of those have made noises about wanting to move on (and to us) from the sound of it. I suspect we are offering a nice tasty wage packet and a long contract, plus not having to live in horrible Preston o...

Re: calibre of striker within the next 10 days

Whilst I don't know too much detail, i've heard that FFP is having a big effect on us splashing the cash now and effectively wiped around 10 million off of what we wanted to spend in this window. No idea what we're left with, hope it's not completely true and there are still ways that we can pull a ...

The massive amount of debt the club are now in does worry me, frustrating considering we were pretty much solvent under JM and Anton just completely did us over taking advances from the parachute payments which the PL agreed to pay early from what I understand plus loans secured against them, rumour...

Samuel has joined Coventry on loan for the next 3 months. Will be interesting to see if he can bang the goals in at that level
