Sorry to be all James May about this, but we need to keep an eye on these (players with a * have an option of an extra year)

Out of contract this season:
All of the loan players

Archie Howard
Callum Yam
Stan Ashbee
Harry Revill
Ed Devine
Noah Wadsworth*
Nathan Tinsdale*
Rocco Coyle*
Pharrell Brown*
Aidon Shehu*
Joao Gomes
Out of contract in Summer 2027

Ryan Giles
Regan Slater*
Ivor Pandur*
Cody Drameh*
Paddy McNair*
Liam Millar
John Egan*
David Akintola
Semi Ajayi*
Akin Famewo*
Matt Crooks*
Kieran Dowell
Matty Jacob
Cathal McCarthy
Dillon Phillips*
James Debayo

I can see the temptation to cash in on Millar with a year left to go if the club are sure they can secure an improvement. Pandur I'm sure will be offered a new deal alongside Giles and Slater. McCarthy if he continues to develop I can see getting another contract.

On the youth side, there's some talent coming up through the ranks. Shehu, Brown and Coyle are the standouts, Stan Ashbee hasn't done badly either but with the lads under them doing pretty well, there's some tough decisions for Richard Naylor to make.

Hadn't considered cashing in on Millar but wouldn't be a huge surprise if he did go.

Hoping we have some breakouts from the u18s who seem to have done really well this season...?

Buying quality Championship talent only seems to work if you’re an established Premier League team and you can ease them in. For example, Lewis-Potter going to Brentford was a great move for him and them because he wasn’t thrown into the starting XI straight away. He was even used as a left-wingback in a back five or an attacking left-back in a back four before getting consistent minutes in his preferred position. Contrast that with Greaves going to newly-promoted Ipswich and he and they struggled in the Prem.

There’s no guaranteed blueprint for success. Forest signed a billion players in their first season but it worked in keeping them up and kicking on the following season. Sunderland were a bit more methodical and that has worked too. For us, I don’t know what approach we’ll take. Like him or loathe him, Acun is unpredictable but has the contacts and charisma to get players to sign for us that would probably be out of reach under most circumstances. Dublin and Hodge seem to be more measured but we’ll need both elements if we want to stay up. Çahanoğlu at City is so out there but I think if anyone could do, it would be Acun. Supplement that with some quality signings from abroad and proven Prem players and I think we’ll have a strong squad.

Bang on, for instance Vipotnik, no real upgrade on McBurnie where for me it’s clear Muriqi is a higher level player. Really don’t want to do an Ipswich.

Well all of it really.

This deal Acun made with Ehab regarding how much he would pay him if we got promoted and in how many years.

I wonder (let's start the rumour) if we had been relegated last season how much would Ehab repaid to Acun?

The point being no one knows so let's stop the silly speculation and guess work.

There was plenty of talk about it at the time, just because there's no newspaper article doesn't make it less true.

Why would Ehab repay Acun if we went down? That's not how add-ons work.

You seem really intent on having a moan today.

No, it's other people also recalling the discussions at the time. It's not something I've just made up. But keep moaning.

If we ask Baz and he confirms on his 1904 podcast would you accept that or wouldn't that be fact in your mind?
 
Taking away loyalty and great guy, who would you objectively move on because you feel there are better options out there that will be costly but not silly money.
