I'm obviously no fan of the ball bag, but in this case the due diligence carried out after they started discussion on purchasing the training facility has unearthed this unworkable clause (from Wycombe's point of view) so if anything his expertise has come into play before parting with any...

We’ve been terrible for the most part of the season and have the best goal difference in the league. I think it’s easy to call it that this League One season might well be the worst in history?!

Disappointed to only win by one goal, should’ve been three or four. Nevertheless, a win is a win and sends us on our way. Bolton can focus on the playoffs now.

I think our approach is going to be much of the same in terms of hitting free agency and with so many players out of contract it gives us an opportunity to upgrade providing the recruitment is good. We have seen how bad the standard of the league is, whoever goes up is going to be favourites to...

This was last year’s accounts, which had the first team wage bill at £7.4m - the problem for us, Reading too, presumably, is the cost it takes to run a category one academy which sounds far more significant than I originally gave credit. The first team wage bill this season is running at 45% of...

Vale fans saying how shite we were, but I actually thought it was the best we've played this season. The back three looked comfortable, Joe Ward and Louie Sibley were good in the hybrid wide midfield/wing back role, Dwight Gayle showed his quality. NML, who usually is the driving force of our...

There was a number of post-administration payments that needed to be cleared hence the loss, i.e. paid Arsenal up to date Bielik and Jozwiak which I'd imagine were key - you're looking at over £6m between those two alone regardless of anything else - deferred wages that also needed bringing up...

This makes no sense: 'you will do the exact same thing' is a nonsense theory based on absolutely nothing other than the voices in your own head. Dwight Gayle was released by one of the worst Championship clubs in the league, reportedly paid up, had no Championship interest and only had offers...

It’s great how companies house doesn’t have any of our accounts since 2018 but a site on Google is locked in on exact numbers, apparently. The comment on wages in terms of revenue was made by our CEO in an interview on Tuesday. I’m not sure how you can say we are in a financial mess when our...

Our wage bill has been confirmed at 45% of our revenue - not sure how anyone expects us to compete at that level! :(

Doesn’t sound he’s torn them, but very little news on it either way. Gayle has just been announced, I’m personally delighted as I think he’s a very clever striker and typically clever strikers have a lot of joy in this league of very daft defenders. I haven’t seen him play for a while, but I’d...

We have agreed to sign Dwight Gayle pending EFL approval - which sounds like it may be a real sticking point. If not we will play much of the remaining part of our season without a striker, which is a concern as shown yesterday Warne is liable to just park the bus and hope to grind out a result...

13 wins in our last 18 games. The best goal difference in the league. Fewest goals conceded, second most scored. I’d still put every penny I own on us not finishing in the top two this season.

We play poor every week and yet we’ve won 12 out of our last 16 league games. It’s not always great, in fact, it’s hardly ever great, but we just get the job done. Ebou Adams looks like the missing piece what we needed in midfield to address the balance between Hourihane and Bird. He gets...

It seems like we could have a couple leave this window - Joe Ward being one. He looked decent during preseason, got injured and never got himself back into the team. I think a change of system has left him out in the cold. We're after a striker and midfielder, but with how fucking useless our...

Another win, but another extremely poor performance from us. Snapshots of quality won us the game, but the team look like strangers - we seem to be getting worse game-by-game. Unless something drastic happens I'm fairly sure we won't be bothering the automatic places. The play-offs are a lottery...

It’s the first fee we’ve paid outright in 4 and a half years to be fair, and it’s roughly around £300-400k with god knows how much of that as add-ons. Our annual turnover at this level, based on last year’s figures (£16.5m over 9 months) works out to be roughly £22m per annum and our wage bill...

We were in for Ladapo in the summer but couldn’t do anything with his wages (£16k per week apparently). If Charlton are happy to meet that, makes the CBT situation all the more bizarre having read today that he’s essentially on strike to force a move - no body should be that keen to move to...

10 wins from our last 12 games, although I'm not and don't think I'll ever be in love with how Warne approaches the game - it's hard to argue with his results at the moment. It just feels like we're hardly ever in control of a game, too busy trying to get the ball forward as quickly as possible...

He works hard, but so far off in terms of quality that I think he’d be better suited to insurance sales.
