Seems harsh given he was a regular for Luton for two Championship seasons before that.MartinCAFC said:
Hope not. We need to be looking at players who've played 30+ games this season at a minimum and players who have performed consistently well for 2-3 seasons.Callumcafc said:I think he’s out of reach for a League One side but noticed a couple of Luton fans today saying that Nathan Jones might be interested in Allan Campbell.
25 y/o. 75 appearances across two seasons in the Championship for Luton but didn’t have much involvement in Millwall’s team this past season, only nine starts and didn’t make an appearance after Christmas.
Knew nothing about him 10 minutes ago but doesn't sound too bad a match for a league 1 side.1 -
Yes that would be ideal, but we may find that players who have done that in the Championship will not be joining a League One club, because why would they?MartinCAFC said:

I say this during every window, but at our level, all transfers are going to have a higher degree of risk than at the level above us. The key is mitigating those risks as much as you can, and not taking on too many risks in the same role.5 -
Apologies I knew it was a youth product.Swisdom said:
That was Jay MingiDazzler21 said:
Didn't his agent suggest our management team were racist for not picking him?Swisdom said:If you read the Fleetwood fans’ comments you’ll see he is key to them. I expect he only signed a contract to guarantee them a decent fee this summer.He’s definitely worth a look as we want to improve our mobility and physical presence.
BUT I don’t think he was particularly happy woth the club when he left so Nathan might need to massage his ego a bit.0 -
Maybe i've been a touch harsh but not many players do well 2 seasons ago, have a bad year and then come back from it and reproduce there best form. For example whoever signs Ladapo this summer is going to be signing him off his last season at Ipswich rather than this season with us. Would a team with promotion aspirations come in for Terry Taylor?Henry Irving said:

I guess it comes down to budgets and intentions, if you intend to push for promotion then you want resilient players who have just come off the back of a good season. They usually cost fair money and that's the difference.0 -
Wonder why he didn't feature for Millwall this season. He made 30 starts for Luton in the season they finished 3rd in the Championship, odd that he wasn't wanted in a Millwall team that spent most of the season fighting relegation

Not sure either. The majority of his appearances seem to have come under Rowett.Garrymanilow said:Wonder why he didn't feature for Millwall this season.

Maybe our resident Millwall fans might know more.0 -
Interesting table. Three of the top four spenders last season have now been promoted. Could be all four if Bolton win play offs.Callumcafc said:

Pretty sure Jones is all about the athleticism. I. E running power. Dobbo was ll of that as is May, which is why the smoke about him being let go confuses me. I have no doubts thta Jones will study the Opta stats on who runs AND who doesn't. Any obvious shirkers, will be gone in the summer, so we'll find out who he thinks has done enough last season, for us, or their current club.seth plum said:If Nathan Jones is all about physicality then why continue with Tyreece Campbell?
I don’t think Nathan especially means ‘big aggressive unit’ when he mentions athleticism.1 -

It’s well known they’ve spent fortunes. I’m just questioning if they’re really spending £65k a week on players the season after going up from L1 - even if they were paying half of it, that would still be considered spending a fortune given where they were a year ago.Redhenry said:

I don't think people are aware, just how much...3

They massively overspent in league 1, but this season their budget will be nowhere near the likes of Leicester, Southampton and Leeds that they have been competing withJ BLOCK said:

All recently relegated though and full of parachute payments and legacy salaries. Their income reduced but they've been able to maintain what they've got by selling off players for decent fees and replacing them with cheaper players. The amount of new short-term investment Ipswich have made between finishing 9th in L1 in 2021 and getting promoted to the Premier League in 2024 is enormousNabySarr said:

The question is. Does the significant amount of short term investment getting to the Premier League get paid back with knobs on now they are on the gravy train. If they can hang on in there I’d say it easily does.Garrymanilow said:

Will they be flipped?2

I would imagine so, they are owned by an American pension fund. Only way that investment works is by selling them soon. Could be a serious amount of profit it in even if they have spent 15-20m to get there.Return of the SE7 said:Will they be flipped?1 - Sponsored links:

Looks like they sold a 40% stake last month for up to 105m.Covered_End_Lad said:

They already sold a biggish stake so I imagine they either sell down more or get out completely. They will make a lot of money and fair play to them but it was high risk and unsustainable. Most clubs that try it fail (see Derby etc).5
-
The worry is that other potential owners will see that huge profit and look to gamble by doing the same. It very rarely comes off and when it doesn't it sets the club up for financial ruin.3

For sure, it pays off the minute they get promotion, but it's a big gamble. Spending enough in L1 to get yourself into a position where you don't have to make too many signings at Championship level and still go straight up is incredibly risky if you can't get out of L1. They finished 11th in 21/22 having chucked an awful lot of money about and sacked their manager in December. If they had got his replacement wrong or spent the money on players who weren't good enough (the Charlton approach) then they would have been very, very screwed financially. As it was Kieran McKenna was the perfect man for the job and has breezed them through but imagine if we'd made 25 loan and permanent signings (including weirdly Scott Fraser, Matt Penney, Macauley Bonne and Tyreeq Bakinson) of our usual level this season and still replaced Holden with Appleton. We'd need more than Nathan Jones to dig us out of that hole, we'd need a time machine and a hand grenade.ShootersHillGuru said:

I was aware of that tbf, I was actually told to reach out to him regarding a coaching gig, thing never materialised so we didn't end up speaking, I don't know the ins and outs, just what I've heard from several 3rd parties.Redvalleyeast said:

I've heard really positive and some negative tbf. Cray Wanderers spoke highly of him, as did Gallen, however ask someone like Euelly and you'd hear totally differentDizzle said:
Hard to judge as I don’t know him personally, but I never seem to hear good things about BaseyCAFCDAZ said:
It was a fall out with Grant Basey. Also caused friction with Basey and Euell which is why Basey left.Dazzler21 said:

Paul Cook massively underachieved with the squad purchased in 21/22, as shown by the immediate turnaround once McKenna took over. In January they improved the squad, so that they blew us away at the end of the season, then again in the summer.Garrymanilow said:

Plymouth's promotion was far more impressive than Ipswich's, on a fraction of the budget, but the quality Ipswich purchased really came good in the Championship, with many of the L1 players playing a starring role this season.4 -
On current ability he definitely feels like an upgrade on Karoy, just lacking match sharpness. Then again he'd have the whole pre season to get up to scratchCAFCDAZ said:

I think he’d be more of a Dobson replacement than a Karoy replacement. If we got someone like Luke Berry, who has been mentioned, that would be the Karoy replacement that would add goals from midfieldfollett said:
