Re: MATCHWATCH : Huddersfield Town (h)

Do wonder if Hunt's being set up for a fall, was that a vote of confidence in the week Owner's are impatient for instant results. A revolving door creates instability. Successfull clubs stick wth their manager's. Phil Parkinson is now the 7th longest serving manager out of the 92. Building teams is...

Re: Show me the money

Your wage bill is the main determinate of the quality of your squad in L1, not transfer budget. Sheffield Wednesday had the 4th lowest wage in the Championship in 23/24 season - £22.3 million . When the owner runs out of readies as hasn't hit the big time payout. The disintegration of the club star...

Re: The phoenix club thread

Any Pheonix Club will have to start small.... I once worked out that a Sunday pub team is 12 promotions and sh*t loads of money and luck away from winning the Premier League. So, to begin with we need to form a team ourselves made up of fans. I actually think this is the ultimate challenge and achi...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Lincoln City (a)

Agree This season is purely about survival. Thanks to Selles and his brilliant team (now gone), we have some decent points on the board….we’ll be fine Chill People speak about Selles but I reckon it is the loss of the rest of his backroom team that is just as impactful as I doubt we have anyone of ...

Means nothing. Other than a bonus if the club gets taken over. Good academy staff are in high demand across the leagues.

Re: Selles out

Selles must be mentally drained. Why stay in a job where it's little more than treading water. I'm sure another club would happily pay compensation.

Re: How hard is running a football club?

Say that one of us won £100m on Euromillions, the Couhig deals falls through and it's a case of us buying the club or it going bankrupt. Even out of administration you have to spend something like £30m to buy the club, stadium and training ground. You're then presented with the current running cost...

Re: How hard is running a football club?

The amounts of money involved these days has fundamentally changed the sport. I know a lot of people that have turned their backs on the higher leagues. Returned to grass roots where clubs are an integral part of the community 24/7. Not just 23 match days a year. Far cheaper to watch as well.

Re: 2024/25 Expectations

It’s so opaque at the moment but even if we got a deal over the line tomorrow pre-season has probably been somewhat compromised. We’ve got to be on the back foot before we’ve even started, so a rough start has got to be expected. I reckon we’re in trouble at Christmas but fairly comfortably 15th by...

Re: Olise

WestYorksRoyal For all his damage, many reputable staff members at the club are happy to go on record that Dai has never taken out a penny.


Why would Dai pull money out of a club he's personally funding. Illogical to suggest he would.

Re: Olise

Just wondering on the ramifications for the game if the authorites moved to outlaw any amortisation on player transfers and so effectively forced clubs to pay fees 100% up front. Hoping it would reduce the utterly ludicrous size of transfer fees that are a feature of the game these days and hopeful...

£5 - £6 million over 5 years is small change given football finances today. Not enough to transform the club's fortunes overnight.

Re: Who do we want to play next season?

There's little quality in the teams that will be promoted from league 2 this season. Nothing to fear. Gulf/divide across the entire EFL has continued to widen. Wrexham lost £5 million getting promotion out of the National League last season. That includes the money generated from their FA Cup run. L...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Northampton Town (h)

His deal expires in 2025, so from a pure business sense a new owner should be looking to sign him up or sell. What's a fair price? £2m up front, with achievable add ons for an extra £1m plus a hefty sell on clause? If the takeover doesn't happen a pack of doritos and a bottle of pepsi max should do...

Green What a shambles.


Dai has to realise the maximum amount possible to repay his creditors back in China. That's if he's actually in control or whether the Party has steppd in.
