x5 the salary knowing we were doomed to go down 
Time to cut our losses and hope that he leaves quickly before he does anymore damage to our club |

Thread | If we had a manager change 2 months ago
at 17:35 22 Feb 2025
Say a Moyes, Dyche etc and we ended up staying up, would you have taken that over going down with McKenna (who will almost certainly leave us in the summer anyway - survival or not)?
I’m not saying I want him to go, and will go on record for saying I don’t and dread when he eventually leaves, just posing the question. It’s well known we would never sack him and he was on one of the best contracts in the league.
Also obviously the other sides about to be relegated have also sacked managers and it hasn’t worked. It’s purely hypothetical to see how much people would want to stay in this league for at least another season
Parting with McKenna and playing Dyche ball for a handful of 1-0s to keep us up, would personally ruin everything we’ve built over the past few seasons, yet teams like Brighton seem that ruthless to do that to survive here (and did that). |

Saw he scored 2 goals at the weekend for Notts County. 10 goals in 21 league games so far this season and he’s 38 in this calendar year…
Always assumed he would be one of those players forced to retire before 30 due to injuries/fitness when he was with us. How he was only making around 20 apps a season for us 7/8 years ago (and arguably played in some games whilst injured/unfit) is a mystery to me
What an unplayable player on his day though. One of the most technically gifted/skilful I’ve seen play for us. |

Thread | Is Cat 1 academy something we are aiming for this season?
at 17:44 17 Dec 2024
I need to preface this by saying I have a lot of ignorance about this subject...
Are we aiming for Cat 1 academy this season? Do we have everything in place (coaching, recruiting, training etc) needed?
It seems weird we went all in under Evans (of all owners) to getting it, came close to getting it and then just...didn't bother. I know we have money now so developing 1 or 2 18 year olds for the first team isn't really what we're about, but I would hope we are aspirational to want this in the near future. You also can't be in the U21 league with Prem teams without being Cat 1.
*as a sidenote, how the hell are Reading still a Cat 1 academy, I thought the requirement was you pump a certain amount of ££ in each year [Post edited 17 Dec 2024 17:44]

Thread | England ticket allocation for final
at 17:09 13 Jul 2024
I read yesterday that England fans had sold out their 10,300 ticket allocation (surprise!!!). Assuming Spain get the same, that's almost 71% of tickets left for sponsors/corporate/celebs/ex-players/football associations etc.
I'd imagine some must go on neutral/general sale...surely. I imagined it to be high, as it's a huge money making event, but that's the territory of Wimbledon final, Super Bowl, or watching the F1 than a football match, in terms of average fan being able to go. |

They may be training with the club, but I haven't seen the likes of Idris, Ndaba, Freddie in any photos. Are they training with the squad or off doing their own thing as they won't be here? |
