    They seemingly blew a lot of that on the likes of Joe Taylor. Laughably wasteful given his circa £3m fee.

    Then again being a drunken oap will farrell lookalike must be a good earner for the town owner

    True but they only really spending on incomings what they have recieved in outgoings the last 12 months so dropping over £1m on a striker isn't really a surprise, albeit been 32 years old!

    If we suddenly find ourselves selling Bobby for a heft fee or Humphrys if he has a 20 goal season you would expect us to do the same.

    Outgoings in the form of more debt owed to the owner…..If only

    Town's nominal debt to their owners rose from £30,482,651 in 2022/23 to £47,382,651 in 2023/24, effectively meaning that Kevin Nagle injected a further £16.9m into Town during the campaign.3 Apr 2025

    Stories will be coming from the lads agent to put things out there I'm guessing, try get someone else to panic and offer something daft.

    Jamie McDonnell Signed recently for Mansfield on loan from Notts Forest he was at Colchester last year and their player of the season and included in team of the year. I wonder if he was on our radar he would have been a great loan for us

    He had a good season last season. Be interesting to see if he can step up a league. Be interesting to compare his performances with Khela as well. Both in similar situations.

    It's that kind of loan that I hope we'll go for - someone who has been on loan before, done well and is coming for a second loan.

    From what I’m hearing at least one is definitely not being kept on.

    I thought the same he looked a decent player when things where going right but seemed to go missing when we hit a dodgy spell.
    Still his shot did contribute to that amazing ending :)

    I bet the majority of our signings never got mentioned on here before they where revealed :)

    I think the main deals are done and we are simply now looking at the loan market

    Head to head with Pattison for that box to box role. He will get his chance, just hope he takes it this time.

    Yep.

    Financially we're closer to AFC Wimbledon than Town.

    I still think we might be able to finish top half, but there are so many teams who are signing real quality...

    Spot on Jon, but Kev was happy to take on my bet that City will end above them and others seem to think they will struggle. Their budget will be monstrous, we had something like the 5th biggest when we last got relegated but it was at around £4.5 million. 5th biggest now is probably double that, the gap has grown and unless we bring through talent and sell them for big bucks then we won't touch them. It'll take time to get up to speed at this level with the finances at play.
