Year after year I read the same sort of unrealistic speculation, like we are playing championship manager. Cant we just sit tight and see what comes through the door. Ive been largely impressed with Curles recruitment. Fact he had been tracking Morton for a while, has given Oliver a new lease of life, brought back a player who should never have left in Adams, brought in experienced head in Alan McCormack, is more than the previous 3 managers put together.

Im looking forward to it all

Anyone else heard Jack Marriott of Derby rumours. Ex P@sh but a local boy. Apparently wants more regular football.

Spot on. People start floating round established championship players or players who are clearly about to make a step up then get upset when we dont get them.

The window is open on 27th July surely.

No idea whats going on now........ Charles Vernam (contract expired at Grimsby) was mentioned earlier in this thread about being a possible target for us....signed for Burton yesterday.

Jerry Yates, left Rotherham and signed for Blackpool today for a six figure fee. George Taft moved from Cambridge to Bolton yesterday, Jack Baldwin went from Sunderland to Bristol Rovers and Jamille Matt joined Forest Green yesterday too......

Plenty of moves happening considering the Window is not "open"......

Both brought in to add experience to the squad and no reason why they shouldnt have worked out. Even Wilder had Tom Newey.

Jack Marriott 😂

My reaction when I heard the rumour too but thought I'd ask all the ITK's on here to comment. Personally I think Callum Morton is a better fit for us anyway.
I don't think anybody predicted any of Keith Curle's best signings so let's hope he keeps on surprising us, he's proved he knows how to build a team.

We dont leak transfer rumours alot under Curles regime, we didnt hear much last year until the official site tweet came out that a signings upcoming that day, so be surprised if we hear much from anyone before the signings happen.

ntfclad knows his stuff. When there's some interesting news on the horizon I'm sure he'll let us know. At the moment there's obviously nothing imminent.

On Oliver, hearing the club are relatively relaxed about his prospects of resigning and they still expect him to be here next year

As for Marriot, lol

Whilst we are on the subject of reading material there are some truly staggering figures in here. Standout one for me is that the Championship has a current combined debt of 1.1 billion. That’s more than the national debt of about 14 countries? All against a back drop of Covid, grit your teeth and clench your bowels, this is going to get rough.

Average £50 million per club. Key = being able to service the debt (pay the interest). Same solution = slash players salaries until income streams return to normal. Don't pay daft transfer fees for new players.

Comparison - Manchester United have over £ 0.5 Billion debt on their Balance Sheet.

Sounds like common sense - but I guarantee there will still be chairmen willing to g@mble on capitalising on not cutting back to gain an advantage as a promotion candidate.

I think that's the main problem in football currently. People with no attachment to the community can purchase clubs without any of their own capital, saddle them with huge debt to try reach that PL pay-out, then completely bail with no accountability if it doesn't pan out.

If anything good could come from Covid in a footballing sense, it will be The FA finally clamping down on owner liability and spending thresholds. Sad it will probably take another half a dozen traditional clubs to disappear before that is the case.

Notice Bolton are still offering ridiculous wages.

I see Byron Webster has been released by carlisle
He’s a veteran now at 33 but he’s had experience at a higher level is a 6’3 lump and strikes me as a short term one year contract option to replace Turnbull.
We could do a lot worse imo

It’s not complicated is it? I’m as thick as pig 5h1t and I get it. The intellect of an amoeba and they end up running a football club? Mind you, they shine like beacons of wisdom compared to the cunnts running the show?

KT spoke about this, any players that are being 'signed' cant be registered and finalised until the window opens and gets ratified with the EFL / FA. I guess in theory until its registered they can change their minds but would be in breach of contract? He hinted that we wouldnt announce until the window was open and everything was finalised, even if we have agreements with players.

I imagine a lot of clubs will be the same and there will be a lot of announcements on the day it opens.
