    League One 1-24 prediction comp 2025-26

    We've been out the league a year which is a long time in terms of changeover so not sure who is exactly where, Bolton not making the play offs from the outside was a surprise as usually nailed on, Peterborough I was surprised being in a battle at the bottom as usually top and Rotherham's...

    Stickied League 1 Transfer Rumours/Confirmed Transfers 2024/25

    Glad for Politic, was decent that promotion half a season, didn't quite hit the same levels in L1 but didn't get the same chance but has done well in Romania and a move to Steaua is probably a dream one for him.

    Stickied League 1 Transfer Rumours/Confirmed Transfers 2024/25

    I recall Hanlan tearing us apart in a 3-0 a couple of seasons back at VP but then we always play awful against you at home in recent times so can't take a lot from that. I don't think we could stomach another Uche! after last season but he would probably be coming in without a guarantee to start...

    Not really you twisted it a fair bit, the point was fairly made that statistically it was a fairly even game in terms of possession, chances and shots (feel free to browse those stats) and it wasn't a typical 7-0 game where a side has dominated a side with 30 shots to 2 or something (pretty sure...

    The away one is likely to be in the same vein, imagine it will likely be Black and Gold stripes. Gabriel looks a decent signing on paper and in an area we are fairly strong in with Headley, Kyle John and hopefully if he resigns Mitch Clark at wing back, all be it I think Mitch may turn down a...

    Last season the CEO confirmed our season figures, £8 million revenue, £12 million spend. It will be significantly higher this season as we will likely have around significantly more in tickets “sold” per game, record season ticket sales over 6500, imagine our sexy new home kit will rake the cash...

    We did well over £8 million in L2 so expect that will increase with the increased away crowds and season ticket sales for a start… and she put £4 million in last year as our spend was over £12 million. I imagine she will do the same again if not increase it to try and make us as competitive as...

    Carol has so far spent money so yes she’s loaded but actually spending it far more than we have been before which is a nice change but on the slip side she’s also grown the club substantially off the field in the time she has been here.

    We are in the best shape as a club we've possibly ever been in, certainly since those halcyon days of the mid 90's having a sniff around the Play Offs in the second tier and dreaming of the Premier League with Guppy and McCarthy tearing teams apart, great owners after 20 years of not having the...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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!
