HoundSnowflake RoyalHound JLow reckons we’re open to selling Joao
Can understand it tbh. Only a year left on his contract, not sure we could afford to turn down 5m or so
Yeah, could fund 3 / 4 / 5 players. But boy what a hole to leave.
If we did manage to offload Puscas and Joao and get back in 7-10m or so, it’d have a significant impact on our finances. Bin off Moore and even better

With only one year on his contract left I doubt we would get more than £3 million for Joao. With Swift gone we really are going to have to recruit incredibly well to compete next season.

Coppells Lost Coat EFL will stick their nose in no doubt and come up with another business plan to suit. Which I have zero faith that would be a quick process.
In my eyes it would be absolute suicide going into a transfer window with only one striker under contract. No LB. No creative ability and no CM in our team. We would need to have several players lined up ready to sign once given a green light.

Once upon a time . I’m pleased to see that so many are now seeing and commenting on the futility of trying to ‘play out from the back ‘ when you don’t have the technique or ability to do it . I have been saying this regularly since I have been on this site .
There will not be many of you that will have seen the Jack Mansell team . For one season they were a revelation ! He signed many of his players from non league football , including Tom Jenkins from Margate , a left winger who he sold at the end of the season for £65,000 , smashing the clubs record fee . The fans introduced the song ‘ its like watching Brazil ‘ , and it was . His method was simple , he often played out from the back but the players were told ‘ when a player near you has the ball find space In front of him ,then pass to him ‘ . This applied all over the pitch , it was done with pace , the players didn’t have to be quick , but the ball movement was . Rarely was there a backward pass .
We finished second in the league to Fulham , only one team was promoted then . They beat us 1-0 at home in an end of season game , their goal was scored a couple of minutes before the end of the game by the up and coming Malcolm McDonald , who went on to have an outstanding career , including scoring 5 goals in one game for England .
We ended the season as top goal scorers in the league and qualified for the Watney Cup the following season , losing to Man Utd , Bobby Charlton and all at Elm Park 4-3 .
Unfortunately we were relegated the next season as Jack Mansell’s relationship with the players severely broke down and the team didn’t perform .
I don’t see much wrong with his playing principles though , and it was great to watch . Coppell’s was not a lot different .

skipper Given our current financial status.
Sell Meite, Joao and Ejaria and anyone else with a sizable fee.
Target Scott Twine etc, and build a squad around the best of the newest talent in League 1.
Get a few old heads in on loan from the Prem, to give the depth and mentoring.
We have a reasonable base of a defence, Yiadom (suggestions that he will re-sign) Holmes, McIntyre. Keep the goalie we picked up. Get the two fastest non-promoted, exciting strikers from League 1, like we did with Cureton, Forster etc. Just get some players with a point to prove, a desire to step up & apply themselves.
Don't think we can be any worse than this season.
Throw the dice, see what happens.
