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...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Oxford United (a)

I'd be interested to know which of us has picked up more points since Liam Manning left, if anyone can be bothered to work it out. Liam Manning left Oxford United on 7 November 2023. Since then Oxford's league run has been: W L D L D W L W L WW LL D = 18 points and for Reading since 7 November: L W...

Re: Confrimed - Abbey and Holmes going

As mentioned by another poster apart from Abbey we have lost everyone who fell out with Selles after the Vale game. Surely, Selles and Bowen knew about their transfers beforehand. Not necessarily. It wouldn't be hard to compare salaries to games started, and work out who was superfluous. That's als...

Re: Summer 2023 Transfer Speculation

Would add that, if it's true, Plymouth are a very well run club reminiscent of us in our prime, though perhaps with slightly less financial muscle compared to SJM. If an offer is accepted, it would be mad for Azeez to turn them down. Could no doubt get a lovely seaside house too.

Re: Confrimed - Abbey and Holmes going

Can see the doom loop coming. Key players sold to keep us afloat, relegation more likely, bids for the club fall in value and don't meet Dai's valuation, no sale, what happens next?

Courtney Friday reporting that Plymouth have enquired over Azeez, and decision is with Dai Yongge.

Big moment. If he's serious about selling the club, selling a player who would seriously harm our chances of staying in L1 is a grave error.

Re: Confrimed - Abbey and Holmes going

Ideally he would play on the left of a back 3, or alongside a pacey CB in a back 4 who can cover him. His strength is his ability to help build play from the back which we desperately miss in our team. There's a good player in there, quite possibly a Championship one. We just didn't consistently see...

Every time we have ever had a discussion about our wage bill it has been wildly underestimated compared to the next set of accounts. Following PL relegation people said almost every year we must have halved our wage bill because a couple of high profile players left, and yet it was continually betw...
