Massive shame he is going to be out when he'd just got his first league goal.

Ridsdale absolutely MUST be on to the Hemmings family this week to tell them we desperately need a striker in. A free agent at least for now if we can find a suitable one and then push for Archer in January.

Look at that league table for fucks sake, its a shit league with nobody looking capable of running away with it. Look at how solid we have been and with Riis now firing, Fernandez looking like a massive talent etc its a huge window of opportunity that we can't pass up just because the budget was 'set'. I'm not suggesting they pump £5m in and sign 4 or 5 players in January, but at least give us a chance.

The Family will do fuck all as per usual when in a strong position.

The trouble is that it's understandable if the family don't trust Riddler to spend any money wisely after his past record.
Sack him and spend his salary towards a decent striker

Vydra is injured and other than him, I'm don't see a single free agent striker who could do a job in the Championship.

Assuming anyone foreigner wouldn't get enough points too.

 

[Pne_Gaz]

Any news on his injury? What a shame for the lad scores the winner and then picks up an injury

Massive shame for him and the team when that means Ched *shudder* moves up the pecking order. Also think it's inevitable that Parrot's goal gets taken away from him, ball is going nowhere near on target when he hits it, was clearly firing a low cross

Absolute bollocks.......... It's not fucking " understandable " at all... If they don't trust him then sack the twat.... Personally I believe they do trust him so I'm afraid you are completely wrong with your given grace.......I think we actually agree but defending " the family " that pay him is just plain daft.

Agreed...But what we are likely to see is the flogging of Riis in the next one...

 

[Pennyhome]

No chance of any incomings in January, the Hemmings group will be delighted if we’re anywhere between mid table-play offs.

If anything it will make them realise they can slash the budget more !

 

[Wisemen say]

Given we are 8th, they haven't got a fucking choice. But we all know what will happen...

Either way, I am expecting a new striker in the 18 away to Stoke on Jan 1st. Criminal if there isn't one.

This league is there for the taking of around a dozen clubs this season. Now or Never.

The league is very open, unfortunately no matter what position we are in and hopefully around the top 6, I cannot see the present owners investiging the money required to bring in additional resource to try to make that challenge a real possibility. 🤔🙄

You see, I just don't get that way of thinking by the owners.
If we're in and around top six in January and they mean what they've always said about wanting promotion, then investing in a couple of strikers is a no brainer.
Yes, there's a risk financially but not one they can't afford but the potential gains are massive.

The gains are huge, but the investment won't happen, it never has, I won't wager £100,000, but a pint that we won't see the type of investment required. 🤔

The lack of investment required when we've had a realistic stab at promotion is a recurring theme unfortunately.

 

[rem]

Get Johnson off the payroll and loan a striker, preferably Archer. That wouldn’t break our budget.
We can’t afford to have one of our highest paid players to be on the bench.

We were THs other past time after Race Horsing out side his business empire, unfortunately very few of the family share that past time, so the funding will decrease, until such time as a buyer is found. 🤔

One of his sons is very much involved in the horse racing side, and I suspect that will continue as the investment required is less than that required for PNE......quite a bit less. Although there is family interest in the football side , I agree with you that funding in the club will be reduced since it will be seen as an unnecessary drain on the main core business.

 

[york white]

Looked like a torn hamstring but hopefully will be a low grade. Couple of months but we are helped by the world Cup break.

Those hoping for additional recruits in Jan, don't hold your breath if still 8th then, even if Parrott is longer term. Promotion hasn't been on the agenda since Baxi left and sure as hell isn't now.

 

[Mr Meeseeks]

I’m sure Archer will become available in January, he isn’t getting a sniff.

Sadly numerous other clubs will be in too and I can’t see Gerrard being there come Jan for the Scouse connection.

Never thought about the MLS, that could be a good avenue.

If villa lose to forest Monday then he’ll be in big trouble

We could do with villa hitting some form between now and Jan

You’re mistaking the owners for people who care what league position we finish in.

As far as they’re concerned there are two choices.

21st or above = good.
Below 21st = bad

(and TBH, I have my doubts about the second one).

If we get to January in no immediate danger nothing will change.

Can’t believe he’s still there tbh
