    Only going to get worse mate we are losing £1m a month, if no fans next season or even in reduced numbers which is likely further sales will be needed to cover operational costs

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought he'd heard the homesick stories were rubbished.

    Dunno if it's just cause I'm * off with the club as a whole this season but he's been a pretty disastrous signing all things considered.

    How fast we are regressing is * frightening.

    We started the season with Frimpong and Elhamed.

    We are ending it with Ralston as our only RB currently on our books.

    Look at our entire backline as a whole.

    Started the season:

    Ajer
    Jullien
    Frimpong
    Bolingoli
    Taylor
    Elhamed
    Laxalt (loan)
    Duffy (loan)

    Second half of the season

    Ajer
    Taylor
    Ralston
    Kenny (loan)
    Laxalt (loan)
    Duffy (loan)
    Welsh (academy promotion)

    End of the season likelihood with possible sales and loan endings.

    Welsh (academy promotion)
    Jullien
    Taylor
    Ralston

    That...is * shocking.

    You still get decent income in summer for

    Ajer
    Edouard
    Ntcham
    Hendry
    Bayo
    Shved
    Christie

    I think you could get in £40m to £50m for the above and give a decent manager half tbh

    I'd be tempted to add Barkas to that list, just doesn't have what it takes to be a keeper here imo.

    Incorrect. We've got another season of Tony.


    His new CSCS is valid from June 2022, back full time on the blocks then

    Don't hold any bad feelings, he was good for us, then was injured, came back was alright all things considered and I don't udge anything beyond the coaching this season really I have no real read of players.

    Even at not working out its the right kind of gamble, we paid what 1.7mil? That's a fine kinf of gamble money for someone of his level and I reckon we will get most of it back even at half he's not been an abject failure and has generally been decent when in.

    Had a look and the final year is an option to extend by a year.

    If he was actually getting some game time that might be taken up but can't see it at this point.

    Kenny was poor today but given before he arrived they put Ajer in there don't see that changing even if he looked OK against Livingston.

    Good luck to him. * situation for him so he has every right to want to leave.

    Bit of a duff signing in the end. Probably played about a dozen league games over his two seasons here.

    Really liked the look of him before his injury around the time of the Lazio away game. His performance in the 2-0 win at Ibrox back in September 2019 was absolutely brilliant. Hun players just bouncing off of him. But reading up on how his wife couldn't get a work visa etc always made this look inevitable. No wonder his form dipped so much if he was missing his family so much. Having to be in a lockdown for the best part of a year won't have helped him either. Some might say you should do your best to try and make the most of your career, but everyone's different. He's got a wife and son he just can't see and that could be ripping him apart. All the best to him. Appreciated the effort he brought to the club when he played - never once looked like he couldn't be * unlike some of these other charlatans.

    Ralston was fit dont what anyone says he would have been a better option for ajer to slot back into centre back with Welsh mismanagement by Lennon

    This is * madness... this season has short circuited everyone's brains! We've been screaming out for years to unload players picking up decent wages and returning not enough, and now we do it's the ultimate disaster and we're doomed for eternity!

    Look, I'm a million miles from happy about where we are, and what it's likely we'll do, but if anyone thinks we're gonna be a firesale, crash and burn this season they clearly know * all about the club. The fact we DIDN'T sell in the summer meant a larger clearing out was inevitable, and would've been even if we'd cruised the league.

    So far we've 'lost out on' a moody *, flash in the pan player who was trouble in the dressing room, and a kid noone knew whether they were a RB or RW on account of him not being great in either position, for about 25 times what we paid for him. El hamed is having family issues and not playing, so all round best we part in the summer. We probably won't lose out any money on him.

    In summer, pretty sure Eddy was going anyway, no matter what. We won't get a stupid £40M bid or anything, but I'd be amazed if we don't get at least £20M. Christie will go for a good price too if he does, and Ajer for good money, unless he actually stays which I think he might. If Broonie retires from us, his heart will be missed, but not his legs. It's better to replace him anyway. Rogic only plays about 10 games a year. Griffiths is never fit.

    In short, there will be good money for a new guy to replace people with, providing we don't * about too much. The scale of hysteria is over egged and premature. I think we're gonna absolutely SMASH the huns next year

    He wasn't really all that good in the end, fleeting appearances, looked decent but mostly subbed for injury.

    Fair enough family situation, but by * he was hopeless this season.

    As said way back bit of a disaster as a signing.
