This is getting to much now, twice i have now been thwarted in saying “ have we signed anyone yet? “
I’m not disputing it at all regarding there wasn’t much income last year other than sponsorship and ST sales and clubs can’t thrive on that alone. But I’m looking at Ipswich if ether acquire their rate gets they advertised going for then there wage bill will be ridiculous and will give them an unfair advantage.Considering their wage bill, and the fact they are offering reduced term contracts to some of their best players, I am going to say yes.
Will it though? We’ve seen teams do the same, only to bottle it and end up in the same division. It’s a risk, that in this economic climate, isn’t worth taking. I don’t believe a model like the one Ipswich has, is something we should envy.I’m not disputing it at all regarding there wasn’t much income last year other than sponsorship and ST sales and clubs can’t thrive on that alone.

Two promotions from League 1 already... make it a hat trick!Very mixed reviews from the Pompey forums a lot say he hasn’t got no end product hence my average remark granted Robbo my get more out of him .
Can we only sign crap players now?If he's so good why does he want to join us??
I don't think they are "skint" per se, they are apparently looking to renew in a more sustainable way.Considering their wage bill, and the fact they are offering reduced term contracts to some of their best players, I am going to say yes.
Just parodying some on here ...Can we only sign crap players now?
Wonder if FFP will be in forceWill it though? We’ve seen teams do the same, only to bottle it and end up in the same division. It’s a risk, that in this economic climate, isn’t worth taking. I don’t believe a model like the one Ipswich has, is something we should envy.
Mentioning 'physical' is the eye catcher. We need players who are ours who have that tenacity to hold onto the ball and win it back if they don't.Always liked him. I was hoping he would sign for us two summers ago when he went to Pompey, so I’m pretty pleased to see him. I like that he’s a decent player first and foremost, good pace etc, but he has a doggedness and work rate that I think is really important and that we have often lacked. Hylton, MacDonald, Maguire - all players who worked hard as well as being decent technically for the level we were at. You don’t succeed without players like that, so I think this is a really important signing. A quiet little boy he is not.
Great age, too. You need young prospects who you can develop and look to sell on, but you also need experienced players in their prime for the here and now, who can make an immediate impact without having to learn the ropes. At 27 he’s experienced yet physically in his prime, which is ideal. Lots of positives.
Also, if Chris Williams and I got married and I took his name, my name would be Ryan Williams. Perfect.
Or alternatively they've realised they've been paying over the odds for some players. A number of them have been on twice what we were paying our players over previous seasons.Considering their wage bill, and the fact they are offering reduced term contracts to some of their best players, I am going to say yes.
Ah yes but you can revert to 'why haven't we signed a 20 goal a season striker yet?'This is getting to much now, twice i have now been thwarted in saying “ have we signed anyone yet? “
Of course. You can’t just sign players on free transfers and then P**s away millions on wages. It’s all to do with profits/loss against net spend. Im not sure if any investments can be looked at as profits? Either way, you can’t buy your way out of this league.Wonder if FFP will be in force
Yes I hope he'll be a wing-Hylton!!Always liked him. I was hoping he would sign for us two summers ago when he went to Pompey, so I’m pretty pleased to see him.

I’m not inviting you. Your hysterical wailing will completely drown out the harp player, and after a couple of glasses you’ll be all over the likes of Anythony Tonkin and Ben Purkiss like a cheap floozie.Mentioning 'physical' is the eye catcher. We need players who are ours who have that tenacity to hold onto the ball and win it back if they don't.
Now, about this wedding, have you got a venue in mind for the reception and when do I get my invite? Bear in mind, a few sausage rolls and a glass of Aldi Prosecco won't cut the mustard here!
