Re: Another Centre Back linked- Naby Sarr

Given this one came out of left field, doesn't it just show noone knows anything?

There used to be a few ITK posters on here and other social media, but no more, it seems.

Re: The squad in July

I don't know, but I did read somewhere that his 3 year Reading deal in the championship wasn't too shabby - but then that article had Hendrick on £50kpw as our highest paid player and presumably we only paid a fraction of that. Given our predicament, a nominal release clause + a drop due to relegati...

Re: The squad in July

Seems reasonable, particularly if his 3 year deal has a relegation clause that reduces his alleged Championship salary.

Re: Season Tickets 23/24

Eamon Dolan Stand is £350 (renewal price w/o a kid) vs £305 for the last decade or so. Renewal was £325 last year Perfectly reasonable explanation on the club announcement for the rise, absolutely no surprise to see people losing their shit about it.

Re: Rival Watch

BHA are in hock to their owner to the tune of £500M. So while things are going well now, it's hardly the sustainable model that people on this forum appear to want. He's still a billionaire owner with a hobby, he just happens to be either good at it or on a hot streak - his firm charges the club for...

Re: League One - Your Expectations?

Goal for me is better season than recently with promotion within 3 seasons. Minimum expectation is 14th next season. Ideally pushing for POs / autos. Start rebuilding the club on a sustainable footing with a medium term plan rather than short term reacting and only thinking of the immediate season ...

Re: League One - Your Expectations?

I don't get how we rebuild given the dramatic drop in revenue in L1.... Unless the owner gambles again and supports an (unsustainable for L1) budget for 1 season... Which will lead to more problems if it fails. And given the grief he's getting for investment/spend/loading debt to date, why should h...

Re: New manager poll

not a name, but I've always thought that former defenders/defensive midfielders don't end up making very attacking managers - their perspective around the importance of not conceding over emphasizes this side of things. Granted, PINCE wasn't a defensive manager, more a non-attacking manager - we did...

Re: Mark Bowen

There's a lot of verbage, but at least it's from a position of authority - i.e. within his remit, unlike the manager who appears to talk vacuously without specifying whether he has actual knowledge or not. However, he is still responsible for hiring a manager who appears to have mis-managed a group ...

I'm intrigued.

If someone had £150M burning a hole in their pocket, why buy a mid table Championship club?

It's still August, things can change very quickly. If we stabilize this season, don't be surprised if there is another splurge to try and get promotion to the PL.

Re: George Puscas leaving?

Surely better we get say £3M than £2M or whatever, especially as we reputedly paid £7.5M for him. I can see why the club are touting him around to get the best deal for us. It could backfire of course and then he will be with us until at least January - but with our usual annual injury crisis, mayb...
