    I don’t believe we have £4.5m to spend on a striker and won’t until we sell big.

    Seriously how were we meant to compete for Simms when Coventry sold Gyokeres the same weekend they signed Simms?

    He has but most of that was in the past, as i said decent owner but not done much in the last 10 yrs

    Id rather KLD in charge at the minute, feel hes done/doing some really exciting things

    What has any of that got them? Couple of cup finals and plenty relegations.

    They won a cup to be fair. I’d give my left nut for that.

    I think he’d have been good but he’s not got the best reputation. Someone with goals in this division, that age sounds like our profile. I just have a feeling there’s something lined up but I also have a bit of sunburn so it easily be that.

    What’s really telling watching Leeds vs Boro who have both made 8 changes each from the weekend, is how much better their second 11s are compared to ours. It’s stark.

    yeah, so? Our second 11 would be losing by more!!! I know you don’t like people saying things aren’t perfect at the club. But it’s only on watching other teams do it that the differences stand out.

    If you want us competing to sign players like Conway or Simms you have to be prepared to sell players. We can't have both.

    Are Boro fans sat there thinking about Akpom, Rogers, Tavernier or Spence right now while they add another striker to a strike force that has 4 players that would start as the striker for us? Nope.

    You cant just disregard his past because it suits. He took over when they were bankrupt, and sharing Hartlepool uniteds stadium.
    Its amazing what hes done with them, looking at how small of a club they are with not the best of fanbases

    At least he’s not pocketing any of it and investing straight back into the team! Great owner
