Re: Confrimed - Abbey and Holmes going

Even if Vickers is the last to go, losing McIntyre, Abbey and Vickers is 3 bodies out of the door with a loaded fixture list coming up. We're in a weaker position, and the worst may not have happened yet.

Re: Confrimed - Abbey and Holmes going

We're going to be light on the bench now. And as for Azeez, everything crossed it doesn't happen. Plymouth haven't sold Whittaker yet, and also nothing to suggest we've agreed yet.

So many reasons to hate Dai, but why the fcuk didn't he just sell in the autumn when he had the chance?

Owen Beck is Ian Rush's great nephew too All of a sudden I feel every single one of my 52 years, unless Owen is a star performer in their U7s team.

Re: Potential New Owners

They will have to come in and work out why we are haemorrhaging money despite a wage bill that's not vast by League One standards. The acedemy must be a prime suspect. It's up to their vision and ambition. If you want us to punch above our weight and have Premier League aspirations, the academy is ...

Re: Confrimed - Abbey and Holmes going

Some random Twitter account reporting Knibbs has handed in a transfer request. To save you the effort, this account tweets utter bollocks, unless you believe Xabi Alonso has already agreed a pre contract deal to succeed Klopp without any reputable sources reporting it.

Re: Confrimed - Abbey and Holmes going

If we start 24/25 in L1 with a new owner it's not hyperbole to say the Academy has saved us. Allowing us to field a competitive squad on the pitch and bring in cash off it to ensure we survive.

Re: Selles In

I'm fine with Craig getting a rest. A first full season takes its toll on young players and it's not unusual to see a slump. Abbey is a great prospect, but he was not hitting his early season heights in December. So perhaps taking the heat off Craig for a bit it good management. Bindon, Craig and Do...

Re: Confrimed - Abbey and Holmes going

Hopefully Earnshaw's murmurings of no key outgoing is right, but deadline day moves quickly. E.g., Plymouth sell Morgan Whittaker, sign Dion Charles as a replacement and Bolton go for Smith as a last minute replacement.

Will be relieved when the window is closed.

Re: Potential New Owners

When we do eventually get new owners, what changes (positive or negative) do we expect them to make? Are ticket prices likely to rocket? Will they provide free travel to away games? Will there be sweeping changes through our remaining staff (Bowen, Selles, etc.)? Are the Academy's days numbered? Et...

Re: Confrimed - Abbey and Holmes going

I am ok with it as the bottom line is the club are doing what they have to in order to avoid administration. Despite my protestations the outgoings (apart from Abbey) have been sensible. Maybe I'm cynical, but I think they are just selling whoever they can to cover the bills until the takeover talk...

Re: Confrimed - Abbey and Holmes going

Fabrizio Romano reporting Taylan Harris to Luton is a done deal. Am OK with that, if fee is OK. It is trading cash in now to hopefully avoid any more first team sales v the chance he improves, makes the team, excels and we sell him for more. It’s ok-ish Starting to get a bit annoying now with losin...

Re: Confrimed - Abbey and Holmes going

Obviously not ideal losing players, but elephant in the room, look at the players we have lost in the past during Dai's tenure on a free where we could of got a fee for them (Richards, Swift, Laurent, Joao, Meite). Now I know we are getting minimal fees here (but we obviously need the cash to cover...
