Best Of

If we go up and Kone stays and does well proving he can score goals at Championship level his value could go from c£10mil to £20mil quite quickly. I can see him thriving under somebody like Dodds who is quite clearly good at working with raw talent.

My understanding of the new FFP rules for EFL clubs in L1 is as posted on here in that owners can only spend 60% of invested funds on player related costs. The Championship runs on the 3 year loss cycle basis so is very different in that respect. Either way ML didn't get rich by accident and will no doubt have all this considered and a plan on how to manage it, and knowing how very wealthy people operate some of that will be more about avoidance strategies and loopholes using sub companies and groups to move money about and buy and sell assets at inflated costs.

I hear the sentiments of how much the club is changing (and has already) but we can't change that. (My idiot face is on a cardboard cut out at AP and we have a brick in the wall, programmes and memories from those magical away days at Torquay and Lincoln etc). We all know what can happen when it all goes wrong but if we always feared the worst in life we would never get out of bed so I am just trying to embrace this positively for now and enjoy the journey.....

Goes to Gasroom. Oooo exciting. The Rumour Mill thread is alive, wonder what gossip there is.

OH AI is racist.

I would say that we have a squad that befits a team chasing the automatic spot and not just a perception from outside of ‘those pesky non-leaguers’ punching above their weight as some of the more self-entitled supporters see us.

DEFINITELY a selection headache for the new coach but a good one to have.

The good times will inevitably happen before whatever might come afterwards, I think.

Younger folk than I inform me that the big commercial data opportunity appears to be called ‘Fin Tec’ so he’s in good company

Oh, he joined in November. Evidently I have been living under a rock.

I love this picture

Once the squad is all bedded in, match fit etc I could see a team of

Norris

Grimmer Low Taylor Harvie

Simons Scowen

Humphreys

Fred / GMac Kone Berry

Bench: Rav, Bradley / Anders, Leahy / Reach, Pattenden, Westergaard, Udoh, Lubala

Some serious selection headaches, but that's no bad problem to have!

Future Kones will come from our academy and will be eligible to play for Kazakhstan. That's why Lommy is here, not to make a profit.

I'd pick Grimmer atm over any other right back
