I suspect in previous years we had an arrogance that we could carry the wage due to us being a "big club".... turns out in League One, that really isn't the case. The move to action must surely be about trimming as much cost as possible out of the business.

i also guess it depends what his mandate has been. it MIGHT have been... there is no budget, we will sell what we can, but that money has to go towards operating costs. YOUR job Mr Martin is to bring through to talent that we have in the squad. That could mean that we have our strikers in BDCR, Hutchinson and Evans. It might mean that Alves takes up a wingers spot. That Braybrooke is the central midfielder alongside Page that need to create our chances. If we are all expecting loads of incomings, then I fear we really don't understand the financial position we find ourselves in. We will probably stick with Stolarchyk in Goal with an Academy keeper as 3rd choice. I suspect we sell Souttar and probably Nelson or Okoli.... but whatever remains is likely to be alongside Vestegard, again, with strong academy products making the bench.... It's effectively the "league 1 loan" we always talk about them needing.

The same Rene Hake that has a managerial win percentage of 35% against Russell Martin with a career win rate at 38%?? That Rene Hake?

Dave challinor has also said he wants a break from football. As I said "someone who is available"....

who else would you have gone with?? i'm not being pedantic... I'm just interested.... Who were the truly realistic prospects that would have been happy to manage us in League One, with no money and a boat load of expectation?? I'm no fan of the Martin Appointment (rFm) but I also don't know who else we could have secured...

because that's what happens when certain factions appropriate a symbol to further a distasteful cause. The swastika (or it's pre-nazi established version) was a sign of good fortune and good luck... I don't think you can blame society as a whole for an association that has been rammed down everyone's throats for 12 months by those wanting to promote a viewpoint.

Our Boy turned 12 months old this week and it's been quite the experience!! 🤣🤣🤣 Puppies are HARD work. BUT.... it's got me out and about more and I've lost over a stone as a result of just walking more. My wife started a Facebook page, sharing walks and dog friendly venues. Roll forward to Friday night and I thought to myself ",I'm sure I could make a website out of this". My toxic trait is thinking I can figure out how to do things I have no idea how to do!... The result though..... www.murphyandme.co.uk Please check it out, share, and give me feedback. I'd LOVE this to become a thing. My brain is saying "obviously this will become the dog version of trip advisor".... In reality, I just hope it helps people discover places for them and their canine companions!

I look forward to playing in the Dunelm Stadium.

They stayed training in case this was the outcome.

Monday 26th now isn't it??

I agree. But that isn't what I was saying.

Sure.... But Hull WILL have been preparing for a game against Southampton. Training drills will have been built around their known patterns of play and strengths / weaknesses.... Now they have to pivot to Middlesbrough at short notice. Middlesbrough will have had all this time to train and drill against Hulls patterns. It's an advantage without a doubt.

So there's a chance we could get him??? 🤣

For the integrity of the competition, they should have just promoted Hull. it doesn't feel right that Middlesbrough get a stab at the final. They will have had a disproportionate amount of time to prepare against a known opposition. Something Hull won't have had the benefit of.

I love vardy... probably my only true sporting hero..... BUT... what evidence do we have that playing alongside him or having him in the squad will improve the other strikers? Didn't work for Daka did it... or kelechi, or kramaric.... I think we need to except that his time with us was special, but that the club needs to evolve.
