Disclaimer () Paul Kernot 1 Posted 08/07/2025 at 22:49:49 I mentioned a month or so ago Andy that I'm concerned about the age of a lot of the players we're being linked with and the corresponding lack of on sell value. Admittedly most of it is click bait and I should just wait & see what the squad actually looks like at the Leeds game. Barry is 22, Fellows and the guy from Ipswich are young so that gives me hope of a more balanced squad of youth & experience. It's sad that Leeds, West Ham and even Sunderland seem to be our main rivals for players we're reportedly interested in. Don Alexander 2 Posted 08/07/2025 at 23:10:46 Some of us, even when the 100% accurate Guardian piece states the blindingly obvious, for years, want to in their words credibly, repeat, credibly move on from a past that for decades incrementally destroyed our club, without ever credibly stating how it might be reversed (and that's not a criticism, because I think Friedkin hasn't a clue either).Some of us are deluded. We'll still be ploughing the poor soil of recruitment bestowed on us by the self-serving connivance of those in charge, for thirty years and more, for years to come.
