the rumour we paid a mill for Coventry, turned out it was nowt, hence my question, how much did we pay for Ahadme. We need proper investment in the team to get out of this shite League...
You’ll never know for sure how much we’ve paid for an individual player. “player trading” is reported in our annual accounts but I think that’s a net sum (I.e all transfer fees received minus all transfer fees paid in the reporting period). People who tell you with certainty how much we paid for a player are 99% of the time either making it up or regurgitating information that someone else made up.
Salaries are reported in the annual accounts too, but this is on a whole company basis rather than player by player. So you can surmise from our latest accounts that we have one of the highest wage budgets in the division, but you can’t figure exactly how much we’re overpaying each of these wastes of space.
Yes you can and I have been told previously what we have paid for certain players...
Unless you’re directly involved in the transfer in question (or very, very close to someone that is) then it’ll still be hearsay. Hence we’ve had about 500 different versions of how much we paid for Ahadme, just like we had lots of different versions of how much paid (or didn’t) for Coventry.
If we don’t win today will he be gone by Xmas? sadly I doubt it.
I don’t get the feeling he’s getting the chop anytime soon. My guess is that things would have to get seriously out of hand (I.e. genuine risk of relegation).
I've been fairly adamant he has to go for a few weeks, but yesterday would be the wrong game to fire him after. The players got a deserved clap off at the end. It was a horrible game and we play terrible football, but...it would feel wrong, this time, for me.
Win the next two and we'll review
Quietly pleased with this call. But Northampton look doomed. More to do yet...
I'd been waiting all season for the game where it finally all clicked and we shellacked someone in the true Nathan Jones confluence of stars style. I gave up on that a few weeks ago, glad to see it finally happen. Now if we just do that every week from now on we'll probably be alright!
Jones just needs to leave things alone now for as much as he can... He's been forced to tinker at times, and probably got lucky today if there was a sickness bug that went around the squad, but sometimes a bit of luck is all that you need.
Luton fans said that he tends to persist with his formations and that players can sometimes take a while to come round to the way he expects them to play - Hopefully thats a sign that its starting to click.
This is Charlton though, so fully expecting a limp 3-0 defeat on Boxing Day now, with Allan Campbell getting 90mins and scoring a hat-trick of own goals.
Well done Nathan! Now please don't have a pop at the fans in your interview
And just maybe have a little bit of a think about WHY things actually worked today and consider the possibility that maybe boring your way through games might not actually be the answer.

Tahnoon Number was onto something.
