Pros = we've got super Kieran McKenna
Cons = we will be relegation favourites with almost everyone.
It's why I don't think that signing Omari solely comes down to the fact he has been here before so will obviously join us over someone like Stuttgart. It's going to be very difficult to persuade established premier league players to come to us initially.
Much like Kieran admitted in that interview, it was much easier to get players to come when they could see the body of evidence and style of play and he said it was difficult to get players in that first transfer window.
Maybe i'm wrong but I feel our best business will be done at the top end of the championship and potentially overseas. |  | | |  |

I think we’ll surprise a few with who we attract - I think a lot will see us as a solid route to becoming / maintaining being a Premier League player
I think KMcK’s reputation will speak volumes IMHO |  |

You will have no trouble attracting players if you pay them enough greedy beggars lol. | | | |

I just looked at the relegation odds.
Arsenal are 2500/1. Man City are 16s.
Took me a moment to understand that that is the market pricing in a huge FFP penalty. |  | | |

Ah yes, the QPR model.
That worked well. |  |

Footballers like money. So we’ll be offering a bit of that.
They’ll buy into the managers ideas etc.
We’ll be just fine |  |

It could be the market pricing in the impact of them losing Foden, Haaland and De Bruyne to us this summer. |  | | |

Pros: + Most of our targets this window will know they've got a very good chance of getting a lot of minutes and won't be coming here as squad fillers. If they believe in themselves, ITFC under McKenna is a fantastic opportunity to develop and shine in the biggest spotlight in world football. |  |

Depends what market ur in I imagine championship players would jump at the chance to play in the Premiership probably bigger wages. Also foreign players apart from the top sides would come to. Then there will be Premiership squad players who wish to play regularly young and old who may feel that under McKenna they will thrive. Plus Suffolk is a nice place to live really. | | | |

It will be attractive to those released or having not signed a new contract with their club and those wishing to step up a league or players not getting many games at their current club. It's like when we thought Kieran was moving on there would have been no shortage of managers prepared to be our new manager. | | | |

No different to any other newly promoted club. Your use of the word ‘initially’ is important I think. If we have a reasonable season (i.e. avoid being in a relegation scrap) then it will become easier next year.
I probably agree with your conclusion, with the exception that it may be possible to pick up established PL players of they’ve suddenly found themselves on the fringes, or on loan. |  |

Of all recent promoted clubs we probably are one of the most attractive for players to join compared to the others.
KM football
Off the field improvements. New training ground etc
Full attendances
Financially stable
HISTORY
To some. Suffolk has been known recently as a pleasant place to live for some players. Not far from London really if you want the busy life too.
Any player who joins will increase their own profile with joining due to the vast amount of media coverage we will get. Even a bad season for the team can lead to a better move next season ( release clauses etc)
I still don't know exactly what profile of player we can attract or what is or isn't a realistic signing. But to answer the OP I think it will be fairly easy depending on who we are up against. I.e we won't be picked over a brighton, but imo would over a leicester. |  |

I think the limiting factor will be what we are prepared to pay, transfer fees, wages. We are not going to to go crazy and risk all the good work the owners have put in so far. |  |

Out of those, I'd take Foden | | | |

Hutchinson isn't an "established premier league player". |  |

I imagine that now being a PL club, Mark Ashton’s phone will be almost constantly ringing with agents actively highlighting their clients. So I’m pretty sure attracting players with the right skill set might not be that much of an issue.
I suspect attracting players with the right type of personality will be a lot harder. Not signing players with massive egos, not signing anyone lazy or whose agents will be demanding a lot of money for and not signing utter bell ends. [Post edited 12 Jun 2024 21:49]

Bournemouth do OK attracting players, they are an outpost with a 10k stadium.
I guess it all comes down to ££££s. |  |

Simply this.
We won’t have an issue getting players in. |  |

I can't think of a better advertisement for players than the comments from our very own players praising the club and management. |  |

I think it’s more a question of which players want to be here rather than enticing them. No point in paying the earth for PL journeymen, trouble, rejects, hasbeens and pension seekers as we’ve done before. Anyone remember Lee Chapman?
Better to go for the right characters. People looking to build careers. Experience if necessary that’s looked after themselves (eg Wark and Mowbray).
We are higher up the pyramid than 70 odd professional clubs at this moment. There are a lot of players out there. We will be fine. |  | | |

Most promoted sides will struggle to attract established Prem players, established Prem players cost a lot of money and are already playing regularly for other Prem teams. Omari doesn't fall into that bracket though, he's had one season of Championship football under his belt. I suspect our signings will fall into three categories: some older Prem players who are no longer regulars at their current club, brought in for experience as much as anything; young Prem players whose parents clubs are willing to move them on (potentially Omari and the magic man); and quality Championship players in their early to mid 20s. Those markets are ones we should be able to be attractive in. |  |

I just looked at the relegation odds.
Arsenal are 2500/1. Man City are 16s.
Took me a moment to understand that that is the market pricing in a huge FFP penalty. |
One possible penalty is expulsion from the league - would that constitute 'relegation' for the purposes of this betting market?
If so, I imagine that the market is pricing in both (a) a remote possibility of a penalty which yields certain relegation, and (b) a much more likely possibility of a penalty which gives a remote (but increased) chance of relegation.
And assuming that's the case, I wonder which of those is having more impact on the odds. |  | | |

Pro - the club will throw money at you iif you grace them with your presence despite already being under contract
Con - the manager will be gone by Xmas - leaving you at the whim of a new manager | |

Well Burnley attracted players and that’s a right sh1thole. I would imagine Kompany was a big draw as will be McKenna | | | |
