Football is entering the final stages of doing something now or is gone for good, as @Smug in Boots mentions in post few more on, bizarrely at a time football has never had so much money, obviously tv deal in france is the mega issue....no tv deal should not mean clubs fold. Never so much money has kicked about in football, yet never have so many clubs been in bother & thats because the reality is other than money passing through clubs dont have anymore, yet players, often average players & agents have never made so much Salary cap, spending cap, whatever they need to do something now
Winger isnt he? Swear he was the couple of times I half arsed watched the old firm games anyway, looked a good player though!
But Brighton appear to want to offload his wages... Rangers couldn't afford him. Don't know where that leaves us?
Cut price deal with sell on clauses etc maybe? Last year of his deal there apparently so could work out for all parties
Think they were in financial trouble a few years ago because they were demoted to ligue 2 rather than relegated iirc and sold the club to an opportunist who’s seemingly put no money in and let it get worse.
Yet I'm sure those supporters who regularly accuse KLD of penny pinching, and trying to run the club on a shoestring, are serious. It would be bad enough if we'd only seen other clubs go bust, or struggle, but we saw SAFC taken to the brink. At a time when clubs are in danger, others are awaiting sanctions and TV deals being looked at I'm happy that we have someone decent and intelligent looking after us.
He played there for rangers but i think hes better as a striker, good player and rangers fans liked him when he was there
As you've said previously, it's difficult to find a striker who won't play wide. I'll be keeping an eye on Burstow, this season, and wondering if he'll go out on loan again. He really needs to learn how to play as a nine, it seems a complete mystery to him ... ... quite bizarre when Chelsea have more coaches than we have players.
Champion, I could only base it on very little I’ve seen of rangers last year, not sure he’d come to the championship but definitely wouldn’t be against it!
I think if we get a second goal scoring/ productive winger and a striker who is a goal threat and keep Clarke we’ve transformed the side, considering we already have Browne. This lad could plug in two of those positions.
A winger that can player striker you say. Sounds like Speakmans wet dream and a return if the mythical Leon Dajaku playing as a fluid 9.
If Ekwah is leaving there'll be money for Sima ? Staged payments and all that. Club have said it's not always about price. Mightn't be £7M anyway.
Heard out about either of the forward links? Wouldn’t mind both of them but imagine that’s unrealistic
And might not be very good, Mowbray pushed for Dack and look how that worked out, sometimes better leaving the scouting to the scouts and the coaching to the coaches
They were relegated, but they were initially denied a professional license for the second and put into 3rd tier, which is non pro. That’s a proper big, famous and storied club. Them going needs to wake the game up if it happens. There been clubs in Italy reformed and such (Palermo, Bologna, Bari , Parma 233 times…) but Bordeaux is a big one. The French league is god awful to watch, a bit mad considering the incredible talent it spills to rest of Europe.
I'm refusing to even think about Sima until that random Ethan Todd lad makes a twitter thread about him
