    Stickied League 1 Transfer Rumours/Confirmed Transfers 2024/25

    That was the most obvious target we'd have all summer under DM. Would be excellent for what we desperately need.

    Is it time for a 'Managerial Merry go round' thread?

    Huge club Schalke all be it not doing very well, only just avoided relegation to 3.Liga!

    League 1 25/26

    Its not nice to be in well full at all (and they only give us one stand now!) its a great away day in that we always win there, cost £29 to sit in that stand this season as well (inc £1 booking fee)! They did a slightly less Walsally last season too if I recall? Went into the play offs in...

    League 1 25/26

    Yeah they had a few injuries and ended up as bad as Walsall, both lucky they had great starts in a way or they could of been in trouble down the other end!

    League 1 25/26

    I think that's an understatement 14/15 points clear of 4th in Mid January to not get promoted is crazy, can't imagine many bigger bottle jobs than that to be fair, did well to recover enough to battle into the final but its a weird one, they lost their star loan striker but they still scored a...

    League 1 25/26

    Pretty much always the case at this level, Wolves years back, Sunderland etc. all big budgets hence why those are usually the ones that go up like Birmingham this season!

    League 1 25/26

    £5 million if you base on a 24 man squad is pretty much £4k a week average which is a fairly good wage for L2 (bear in mind a couple would be on significantly more than that and some somewhat less). Add on probably £750k in transfer fees and its probably not far off assuming we spend around 50%...

    League 1 25/26

    That is wage budget, they thought we were 4-5th imagine Carlisle (with their huge squad), MK above... maybe Gills? I suppose it would of been higher but had less wiggle room with so many contracted to get more bodies in which will be added to this term. Transfer fees must have been around £750k...

    League 1 25/26

    I would take the season being over by late March sat in 14th in fairness, we've not had one of those for a long time! As I say though Carol and co are quite private about aims/spend, I don't envision Moore being here "just to survive" but the next step to challenge in this division is the...

    League 1 25/26

    You say that but according to Blackpool fans they couldn't match our wage offer for Byers (and lets face it he didn't come down to little old Port Vale just because he likes Oatcakes and Darren!) so will be interesting to see. We keep a tight ship so no rumours these days which is a bit boring!

    League 1 25/26

    I think VAR meant more are used in the Premier League so obviously L1 and 2 get ones lower down the list than you'd have maybe got a few years ago possibly being an issue? Best one we had was a referee against Bromley at home, Abigail Bryne she is mainly National League but done 3-4 L2 games...

    League 1 25/26

    That is irritating and yes we've done it as well, they should change the rule that if the keeper goes down the outfield captain has to go off for 30 seconds to try and discourage it. Think Stevenage when they came up from non league did similar initially and now everyone does it.

    League 1 25/26

    Think the ref's in L1 and L2 usually are the same pool, its been poor this season, look at the Orient goal, it was miles off! Away at Bromley we scored a "late winner" which was about 3 foot over the line, the defender clearing it is stood inside the goal and wasn't given... not to mention in...

    League 1 25/26

    We have a stronger squad now than the one which went down in L1 largely due to us splashing the cash to put it right (and Carol selling her business for a rumoured 180 million quid), the likes of George Byers, Jaheim Headley, Ronan Curtis, Ben Garrity all decent at this level, Tolaj will be an...

    2025 relegation dogfight thread

    Burton had to get Loft sent off after he had his one decent game for us at the Pirelli last season and scored the winner... Burton should of been automatically relegated for that alone!

    League 1 25/26

    He has really stepped up to the plate to be fair and been key to our consistency, hilarious videos from Saturday after they got back from AFCW - We've spent a fair bit of money as most of the L2 lot will keep reminding us to get back and had luck in that Carol sold her business or part of...

    League 1 25/26

    He was, i liked Uche in his first spell with us in 2016, remember him literally dragging a Doncaster defender along the floor who tried to grab his leg to stop him, but he was poor last year. Tolaj is a cult hero, The Swiss Forlan/Devine Ponytail, strange season, Darren Moore played him out...
