Worth pointing out that budgets at championship level are highly variable due to premiership parachute payments and legacy player contracts offered during premiership seasons.
That being said it's all really about getting the biggest bang for your buck. Swansea, Burnley and Blackpool are just...
All apparently appear on Poyets summer wish list. Source from a friend who knows a northern based scout working as part of Zigor's setup. All seem pretty realistic shouts however I would expect Kilkenny in particular to have numerous options.
Now this is second hand information but apparently Owen has some personal contact with Bloom via a betting consultancy business but we've not declared any interest. My take is while it's possible we are tracking him it's highly unlikely to come to anything for reasons to numerous to mention.
Interesting business model and a big part of their success and appeal to prospects will be generating local traffic and awareness, hence the sponsorship deal.
I think on a commercial level it makes perfect sense and I wouldn't be suprised to see the holding company go onto launch similar...
Forgot to add that I've heard the club have been looking at travel for next year and have a suprisingly large number of STH's from the Thames Valley area. This might result in some kind of coach services running to the Amex but nothing definite as yet.
I live in Bracknell and also have season ticket for next season with another Bracknell based fan. We usually get the train for weekend games in order to enjoy a few drinks but would be interested in any arrangements for night games.
The sooner we confirm any deals with our out of contract players the better. Gus has a great opportunity to revamp the squad with so many out of contract.
I think he will go for someone experienced like Zenden to replace Kish and give us a bit of experience in dictating play and posession, a...
I reckon Gus will:
Retain: Murray, Bridcutt, Dicker, Agdestein and Smith. Maybe also Navarro.
Release: Baz, Batti, Kish, Sandaza, Poke, Hart
Look to move on: Brezovan, Elphick.
So assuming Tano also retires we are likley to seek a Keeper, 2 full backs, another center half, two central...
Got to say that was a good interview from Keys and Gray, Poyet as always came across very well. Gus said he doesn't care who comes up with us but knows the fans wouldnt mind a draw at Wallsall and beating SCC for the title!
I'd stick with Tommy, have El-Abd on the bench and maybe ease him back in depending on how the games going. Saying that I'm sure Poyet's main concern will be who represents the best option for stopping the strikers we are up against. Nice problem.
