I was using McCarthy as an example, as a player under contract it may not be that easy to move on, it requires a replacement straight away and if there are many leavers, not always easy to find so many targets so quickly. Targets need to be able to perform well and have the ability and mental fortitude for the PL. That will generally cost more, be it in scouting, research, contract and/or fees than the players we had previously got in. Hopefully there are some U-21s who can step up as well. I just think there are two summer transfer windows to use for developing a PL squad (big assumption for promotion) and it gives Spors the time to get the right target and not compromise.

Agree that there needs to be a huge turnover of players, but there is an advantage to keeping someone like McCarthy for example, who has performed well in the Championship and only has a year left on his contract. It means a season to identify and track a couple of new keepers so that one can be signed if Saints go up or if promotion isn’t achieved the other can easily step into the championship with potential to develop into a premier league keeper.

I hope Russell gets a championship gig soon so he can come in for his players. Not sure if anyone else would take them.

RM no different to MC. Nice that one will be knocked out.

Good to know, thanks. All the directors/management should be there to suffer their consequences.

Will Spors be in attendance? Hopefully he doesn’t resign afterwards.

Can I have a jam sandwich Mrs Patterson, thank you!

It would be interesting to know what a full time paid up ref got up to these days.

Burnley will not be full strength and but there is the Coventry v Ipswich match.

He’s out. Calf injury. From Burnley Express: Parker likely to rotate heavily, just as he did in the third round when he made all 11 changes for their 3-1 after-extra-time win against Reading. The likes of Jonjo Shelvey and Marcus Edwards could be handed their first starts since signing, while players returning from injury, like Manuel Benson, could also potentially feature. It will also be interesting to see if academy products Joe Bauress and Tommy McDermott feature against after impressing in the last round of the competition.

Or parting of the waves for a big fee.

Not everyone is effective in written communication, myself included, however, for the level of interpretation required, may I suggest you run the forum posts through copilot which should make them easier to understand for you. For instance, type summarise the following text… followed by the text from the post, or what does this mean… followed by the text from the post. HTH.

You worked it out.

My expectations are getting lower to what a good target is, nil nil at half time and time waste second half to piss them off, maybe get one of their players sent off so we can cling on for a point.

Depends how it’s structured and staffed. It needs to show there is a pathway to the first team and equip the players to have better odds to succeed than it does. No point producing players for championship or league 1. Brentford binned theirs so they could concentrate on scouting up and coming players from the lower leagues and the academy prospects of other clubs.

Seems to be proud of his three long fingered hand. Welcome to Saints, Albert ‘ the claw’ Gronbaek.

Apparently he was the first choice but stayed in Italy. While Saints moved on to Jones. Both mistakes.

Hoping for a draw, actually, couldn’t care less about the result, it’s got that bad.

That phrase is all too common these past few seasons. 🙁

Hallucinations are likely to be negative in that type of situation so would be better to take fluoxetine.

Wonder which coach will go to Everton now Dyche has left.

I thought he’d do well. Got that wrong! currently playing with Strasbourg in Ligue 1. 16 appearances in league and cup with three goals but only played 90 mins twice. Rating of 6.2 not so good.

Ah yes, I remember now you said that…. It fold. Football Index was the name.

not a rumour, this is now the strategy to share information within the set of clubs. Don’t know what transfers can be attributed to the new group or how it all works or the quality of those employed.

Next step is to see players listed on the commodities market.
