Would be interesting to know how much pure profit we need to generate to avoid PSL breach in this years accounts. Could potentially be a big help towards KDH sticking around if we could manage to get there with moving a couple of others on for smaller profit margins.

May well have been Potter had we not had financial disaster to navigate, more likely we will be finishing in the same market as last summer. Just not Parker please.

That’s pretty funny that they are obligated to spend £20m on him when he’s looked pretty average at times. £20m spend already and no stronger for next season 🤣

Who’s got the banner?

Excellent to see the lads all selected 👍 get them all tied down on decent length contracts now

True, a few big games for northern clubs in the division. No love lost between Hanover and Braunschweig either. Lived not far from Hanover for a while, great city for a weekend on the beer with a game at the Niedersachsenstadion thrown in.

Schalke and Hanover too - some incredible away days in that league. Huge clubs and stadia

Looking pretty grim for Bochum now. 0-3

Agree with this, with loan players gone, out of contracts too, there’s enough scope for a coach to recruit to a different style of play. We are going to have to maximise our resources to have a chance of staying up and need a coach who can work in that way.

His plan A is the only way mindset will be massively exposed given the lack of funds we will have to improve the squad. Take Chelsea’s stupid money and run. A few more million for his staff and get someone in who can practice the dark arts to keep us up next year.

Dibble is decent 👍

VfL guttingly slipped into the Relegation play-off today. 3 points clear going into the afternoon, Union Berlin very very lucky - 92nd minute winner to finish fourth bottom. Düsseldorf over two legs for the lads. Tough game.

Big summer - can imagine Rantala moving to better things, lots of work needed by the new manager.

Hate both of them with a passion and will be hilarious to see one of them fail to get promoted and have to sell many players, but we are all saints aren’t we?

Going to be a very big ask for us to have recouped enough of the 3 year deficit in the past 12 months with so much in wages still on our books and having spent reasonably well on players coming in. Imagine in their forecasting the higher-ups would have assumed they’d have shifted at least another £200k off a week than we actually did (Daka, Ward, Iheanacho) - may not be as big a breach as 21-23 but likely we’ll have breached, even with KDH out the door by June 30th

It’s bad that I read this and thought but do they though?

A video for the ages that 🤣

Yeh, think the chants we heard about Rudkin are going to get louder and louder as we head into next season as the anger about the mismanagement grows in line with the impact it has on us.

With the exception of Mads, Nelson, possibly Winks and Riccy P, I would take money above the PSR break-even threshold for any of them. We need to unfortunately do absolutely everything we can to meet the target loss this season as if we are relegated next year starting the following one with the EFL declaring open season on us would be horrific. The idiots we’ve got running the admin side of the club had better not be downing tools over the next couple of months. It’s time for them to get deals negotiated and in place ready for when players come back from a few weeks off end of this month / early next.

He’s not looked a standout in the championship at all, and for the wage he’d demand we would be utterly stupid to keep him on. Thanks for the memories, time to move on.

Bet he ends up at Brum, would be an absolute level above at league one still

“Right then Top. Thanks for the mini-break. I’m off for three weeks sun and a beard colour. By the time I’m back you need to have disposed of Rudkin else I’ll be straight back on a plane out of East Midlands. Capiche?”

Even on a lap of appreciation they spend 85% of the time wandering round their own half. #EnzoLap

We aren’t going to be able to pay much in terms of fees at all i would imagine. Can see loans and free transfers being the business we do… midfield pick 3 or 4 out of Sensi, Brownhill, O’Hare, Barkley, McAtee depending on who leaves
