RoadRunnerFan Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Don't know if this is the right thread but BN reporting that the club have opted against a further downgrade of the academy. Good news in my view and may indicate confidence in disposing of high earners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomski Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I think if asset stripping was the aim (tbf no one has mentioned this for a bit) this news puts that to bed as surely it would of been a no brainer they could of probably justified Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

famouswanderer Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 It's linked to "Article 50" and it won't be lifted until the Prime Minister triggers that I've heard So we are looking at a minimum of 2 years? sounds about right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eavesy Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 (edited) So we are looking at a minimum of 2 years? sounds about right Blessing in disguise. Means we'll continue promoting from within instead of loaning someone, plonking walker on bench and then expecting him to bag 4 when given a 6 minute run out Edited June 28, 2016 by Eavesy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter superjohnmcginlay Posted June 29, 2016 Site Supporter Share Posted June 29, 2016 Fucking hell, Fair play to what they are doing upto now. Certainly putting to bed my initial fears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mounts Kipper Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 (edited) The likely lifting of the embargo is very good news as is the news of new signings, I have heard that ZC will be sacrificed in order to balance the books and although that's sad news for me but if that helps us become stable and provides the springboard for a quick return to the Championship that will at least be of some comfort.

Blondi Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 I see the twitter rumours are flying around that since Paul Aldridge came in, we're now being bankrolled by Milan Mandaric. 2+2 = 54. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted June 30, 2016 Site Supporter Share Posted June 30, 2016 There is gonna be no quick return to the championship Going out on a limb here, but well finish top two. Reasonable if unspectacular start, then gradual improvement and promotion challenge as Park's influence kicks in and season ticket holders' early optimism is borne out.

Plums Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Hmm being analytical and firmly of the opinion that I simply don't know where we'll end up, I'd suggest that squad depth is the key at this level. Certainly it paid off for Wigan at the back end of last year. Do we have a large enough squad, of this league ability to cope? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very hopeful if the embargo is lifted of a good season, top 8 would be good play offs would be fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
