Don't think we are in serious contention anyway, unless we make some clever signings. Agree, can't really see us challenging until the embargo is lifted and that's assuming the ownership situation gets resolved before the start of the season. We were in a worse position last season and brought in B...

Its good there's another decent side in the league which will hopefully stop Hollywood FC going up. And stop Reading FC too. Really doesn't help us having Bolton in L1 next year. Don't think we are in serious contention anyway, unless we make some clever signings. Agree, can't really see us challen...

Only just realised with Derby's promotion, we're the only side outside the top 2 divisions with a Cat 1 academy now.

Greatwesternline WTF did we agree to something that wasn't allowed. Clowns the lot of them.

If it makes you feel any better, the same redacted documents revealed that we do in fact have a 10% sell-on for transfer profit in regards to Olise.

Relates to Olise's agent and a 10% sell on fee going to him.

Interesting that he specifically mentions the 4-2-2-2 being exploited by teams that play direct, would be interesting to look back and see if we were being caught out like that, committing several players high up to press their defence and the opposition just goes long and bypasses the high press wh...

How much do we look into the success of the U21s this season? Will any of them be making the step-up to 1st team football?

It seems on the face of it to be quite impressive for a League 1 U21 team to be doing so well.

The three relegated sides nearly always have insanely higher budgets than the rest of the Championship. That’s what the parachute payments do. I understand the 3 coming down will have parachute payments, but Leicester, Leeds and Southampton felt like a new extreme when it came to financial disparity.

Bolton definitely a better team than Oxford and won their last meeting 5-0. But it's only 1 game and an upset can easily happen. Obviously I hope not - seems alien enough to finish below them in the table let alone be in a lower division. It's win:win. They lose on TV on their big night out. Or The...

My levels of cope will keep rising.

Hope Bolton smash them.
Hope they get smashed in the Championship

Hope that's as far as I have to raise my cope levels.

Come on Bolton, destroy them please.

Peterborough look pretty hopeless right now.

While I think we're all a lot more positive now, especially with the takeover looking likely, seems crazy to have one of the highest odds in the league.

Huddersfield relegated barring favourable results on the final day, plus a huge goal difference swing. They’ll be joined by one of Birmingham, Plymouth, Sheff Wed or Blackburn. The League Two play-offs will be: Milton Keynes vs Crawley and Doncaster vs Crewe. Other than being an easy away game to d...

Barnsley sack boss Collins with one game remaining Barnsley Football Club can confirm the departure of Head Coach Neill Collins. Collins was appointed last summer and despite several positive spells throughout the season, recent results have left the board of directors feeling that a change is need...

I've been told that there could be some good news this week. We might be finally coming to an end to the saga. If it is announced as complete before Saturday, then that will be an amazing way to end a trying campaign. Carefree home game, with potentially close to a 20k crowd. Party time. "Part...

Definitely just want us to win and end on a high, we deserve a good mutual lap of appreciation, been a while since it hasn't seemed like a farce and a defeat will put a damper on it. Hopefully results will conspire against Oxford so it won't matter, Exeter are in good form so will be tough for them,...

Judging by their home attendances, there's probably going to be a similar amount, maybe even more away fans than home fans.

We can play our part in a potential final day relegation scrap, if we beat Burton and Fleetwood beat Leyton, they play eachother on the final day, Fleetwood win they stay up, if they don't, they go down.
