Grimes doesn't strike me as being the selfish or ruthless type. You certainly don't get that from the way he plays or the fact that whatever you may think of him, he probably could have got a big money move at some point over the last few years if he had really wanted it. He always seemed happy...

To be fair the new Swedish bloke said the same thing about us

Far from it based on her social media postings

What's he actually achieved here? I predict he'll be quickly forgotten

So what happens if the accounts are produced before the spring and we have lost say £15m in that time? Is there any mitigation if this year has been better so far and we can demonstrate money in? Or are we screwed regardless? Presumably we are then allowed £41.5 of losses over 22/23 23/24 and...

I'd definitely take Cundle too.

Don't disagree with that. But a midfield 3 of Fulton, Allen and Franco will likely mean at least 2, if not 3, subs in central midfield

Correct But you also add into the mix that the longer it goes on, the harder it is to make good decisions because you're picking from an ever dwindling group of players

He's more than just one body too in reality. He's a body that plays literally every minute. Never needs to be rested or replaced and never injured. I appreciate we can all argue as to why this is the case but we'd be hard pressed to find someone like that again.

We've got a hard run of 10 games now where we play 8 of the top 12, Stoke and Preston. On current form you can't see us picking up a lot of points there. We've then got 3 home games against Derby, Plymouth and Hull with Sunderland away in between the latter two. Those three games will be vital...

Unpopular opinion perhaps but modern technology has really taken the art out of death threats. It used to be that someone would have to painstakingly cut letters out of a variety of newspapers before pritt sticking them onto a sheet of A4 and sending them off by post. Nowadays, any clown with...

They're no world beaters but are probably two of our better performing players. Which says it all....

It's this for me. I couldn't really care less that Grimes the player is leaving and had this been the summer, under a new manager, I think things would have been different. I guess you would question why a bloke who has three very young kids and his whole family living close by (apparently)...

That's a fair point and it's the opposite to how it used to be. We used to be the ones picking up the shite players from elsewhere and turning them into world beaters. I don't trust Coleman to get the appointment right. I don't think we have the money to get anyone decent. I don't think anyone...

Agree. The players have just cracked on with it since the WBA gossip with no apparent ill effects.

Possibly to some extent, yes. Although I'm not at all convinced any new manager will be any better, for a number of different reasons.

This is where our dreadful transfer dealings come home to roost. All this dross we've spent millions on, costing us tens of thousands of pounds a week with no prospect of making any money when we sell them. This is that catching up with us. Next stop League One.

Some people think this is football manager. There's a fair chance that most of the money we get from selling Grimes will just be eaten up elsewhere. We've spent money over the last 18 months but virtually all of it has been totally and utterly wasted.

It's like us selling Josh Key and surmising that the next right back won't be asked to play in centre midfield or wherever the hell him and Tymon play. We'll replace Grimes, like for like. Except the replacement will be worse.

I remember a time when there were gentlemen's agreements that players wouldn't play if they were transferred just before the sides played each other
