    They clearly don’t understand the rivalry then. Like I said before though, there’d be more fuss if a first team regular had made the mistake.

    It's easy to say we sell Seelt/Hjelde and replace with better... To really improve, we need to decide to sell first team players who are overvalued and invest that money well. Ballard fits that category and dare I say it, Cirkin does as well.

    I love Cirkin but I did expect more this season, especially when you look at how many games he’s played - more than the usual

    With respect those who look through rose tinted glasses see no wrong, however IMHO I don't think the owners want promotion.
    Now I said I don't think.
    Juan and KLD will not see this season as the right time to go up.

    Why would they not want the big bag of cash that comes with promotion?

    I do think there is some truth (although I usually disagree) with what Bob is saying in that the ownership were planning to go up next season, but January showed they would be willing to spend a bit for the improved chance of promotion so I think the goalposts moved a bit in terms of the timeline.

    I know an Everton scout. Rigg has been on their radar for a while. They’ve tried to sign him previously

    Not much would fill me with more rage than seeing him stood alongside Moyes after signing

    Do you not realise how daft that sounds, the money you make from promotion? You REALLY think they are happy making losses in the championship ffs. Come on man !

    Signing enzo le fee in January ****s all over the opinion of them NOT wanting us to go up this season. Paying for his full wage too
