Buzzing.... a Rangers reserve , no longer is it a shit pub league and of League one standard , he’s a great prospect and one to look out for and proves we are heading in the right direction
Just under 40 hours remaining before we find out whether or not ESI are prepared to commit footballing suicide by selling our best chance to avoid relegation. My season ticket for 2020-2021 is dependent on that decision.
Agree, ESI have a fantastic opportunity to get 20k crowds for the rest of this season, to unite the fan base and propel the club towards being an established Championship club. A small step forward is acceptable, A giant leap backwards isn't.
Shame there appears a lot of dependency on whether people go with what signings we make, but hey ho
No, blindly following a team is for when you're a child. When people have families and potentially spend £1000s a season attending games, you want to make sure this isn't a repeat of the last 5 years.
On a more practical note, we have lost Leko and Gallacher, and Bonne is injured. Lose Taylor, and I just don't see where the goals will come from. Any replacements will be under immediate pressure, but will need time to settle in. They may not have that time.

You would assume Bonne, Clarke-Harris, Hemed, Anke or Davidson ?
So Cawley is adamant that Clarke-Harris would be a Taylor replacement. You can kinda see the logic, sell Taylor for a couple of Million and invest it in a 25 year old who scored 20 in his last 29 league appearances on a 3 year deal. Or lose Taylor in the summer and lose that £2m.
it seems obvious we are still trying to buy in the bargain basement department of footballers and that raises a very large red flag . If we sign a Rangers reserve just like we did with dodo and sell Taylor just like we did with Kermogant then nothing has changed from the last regime. We might as well still be owned by RD
Maddison just couldnt agree terms with us after all terms had been agreed with Charlton and Peterborough
Birmingham bids pretty much the same as ours
Another mid-table Championship team about to sell two players, with that money they're likely to buy him tomorrow
Grosicki is going to WBA, so Maddison is off to Hull presumably.
Better geographically for him, and Grosicki would have been on high wages, so Hull could afford to pay Maddison a decent amount and still save money
Living in Hull vs London though. Obviously never been but hasn't it been voted the worst place to live in England? Bless him
Comments like this always make me laugh. It's not as if Maddison would be living in a tiny terraced house if he goes there. Bloke could probably buy a 4-5 bedroom house in the countryside for the price of a 2 bed down here.
Just found a 5 bed detached house for 249k on Rightmove!
Are you going to buy it?
No just found a 4 bed detached for 225k, keep this up and they’ll be giving em away, it’s like going back to the 1980’s up there!

So, anyone on here know how to buy a house?
some would compare it to buying a football club. not too much difference
My fourth post post of the morning, and before I return to bed to recuperate, I have one request for Mr Southall. Sir, if we are to lose Taylor, please sign a 'replacement' before he packs his bags for Brentford or wherever it is he is departing for.
So Cawley is adamant that Clarke-Harris would be a Taylor replacement. You can kinda see the logic, sell Taylor for a couple of Million and invest it in a 25 year old who scored 20 in his last 29 league appearances on a 3 year deal. Or lose Taylor in the summer and lose that £2m.

You lose more than 2 mil getting relegated and makes the 5 year plan a 8 year plan.

Why are people surprised? MS has been very honest and transparent about the club's plans in the transfer market and yet somehow people were expecting something entirely different. I think many still seem to be getting over the disappointment that we're clearly not the next Man City.

Not many people expect that, just that we are still competitive this time on Saturday. I think people dont want our team that's arguably weaker than last season, to be even weaker for the last part of this season.
As for transparent, only need to buy the ground... to technically own nothing. Bowyer a priority, to bowyer after the window, to offering him a deal 24 hours later after it backfires. As of now he talks a good game, but transparent wouldn't be the wording I'd use.

( some would argue we are partially. )
How do we know that?
Why does it raise a flag? There have been plenty of examples of players moving up from lower leagues very successfully.
If we can replace Taylor and get a very decent fee in the process allowing us to further invest is that a huge problem? He will go for a free in the summer unless he signs, of course I want to keep him and we know he is a proven goal scorer. If he wants away and won't accept his deal how much focus are we going to get?
In what way are might we still as well be owned by RD?
The truth is none of know the conversations SG and his team are having with what players, most deals in January happen in the last two days. We are just entering that period...
Jonson Clarke-harris is probably the closest around to Taylor in style. Great- go all out to sign him in the summer. But if he is being signed to replace Taylor they can fecking do one. What Taylor brings to this team is so much more than goals - to us he is greater than the sum of his parts and nigh on irreplaceable like for like. As a statement of intent from the new owners this is a biggie. Don't get it wrong

Until players are signed or sold we're in the dark as to what the plans are. The main priority has to be to make sure we stay up.

It feels like to some there are only two possibilities:
1. We’re rich, funded by the Sheikh, we’ll buy our way to European glory
2. ESI are chancers, are lying to us and have no money. As bad or possibly worse than Roland.

ESI themselves said they planned to sign Taylor and Cullen on permanent deals.
So Cawley is adamant that Clarke-Harris would be a Taylor replacement. You can kinda see the logic, sell Taylor for a couple of Million and invest it in a 25 year old who scored 20 in his last 29 league appearances on a 3 year deal. Or lose Taylor in the summer and lose that £2m.
Cawley is a journo reporting what he hears, he’s adamant what he’s heard, not adamant he knows what’s going to happen. Jesus get a grip.

great news second one across the line , patience it’s all coming together
Bonne from mid February hopefully.

A varying opinion there.

We can judge MS by his actions not his words.
1. We’re rich, funded by the Sheikh, we’ll buy our way to European glory
2. ESI are chancers, are lying to us and have no money. As bad or possibly worse than Roland.
The least one would expect from a chap from the city when he sees another chap in a bit of bother. Thin edge not to.
