If he’s not been able to train and run properly for 10 days due to having covid then it’s hardly a shock that he couldn’t complete 90 mins in a elite sporting event against opposing professionals who are in peak fitness. Ruffles wasn’t even fit enough for the bench for instance. We saw Koroma cramp up twice and he’s not missed training
If they didn’t want to risk him getting injured he wouldn’t have played full stop. Instead I think he was only fit to play a shorter time while he builds back up his fitness

Did I hear Oggy say he had been told by someone very reliable that Sheff Weds was his last game for Town "yet here he is tonight" or something along those lines? I didn't quite catch what he said. I am starting to think Oggy has lost the plot some of his statements are quite ridiculous (I don’t think he has any more information about what is happening behind the scenes than anyone else)he also IMO needs to take off those Blue and White tinted glasses,At least Glennon tells it as it is |

I do like Oggy but I agree, he often tries to gloss over the performances and problems. |

It’s obvious the lad wants a move to the prem and I’m not going to blame him . We’re not in a position where we can freeze him out because he’s a good player, gives his all and our squad depth is really weak.
The only thing I hope is we give any suitors a cut off date , giving us time to adequately replace.
I’d also tell him to sack off his agent , Kevin Sharp , but primarily because I think he’s a right ball bag ever since he was a shite left back for us under Mick Wadsworth

I can't believe why anyone would question O'Brien about his commitment & why he signalled to come off. If he hadn't wanted to play it would have been easy for him to say "Sorry boss, still very weak from the Covid", he was obviously told to play as long as he could, give it his all & let us know when you feel you can't give any more - the last thing we would want is a long term injury due to him overdoing it.
I think we owe him a massive debt of gratitude for playing, there are plenty of recent big earners, being paid far more than him, who you know would never have played in that game.

Question for those closer to the finances - if LOB doesn’t move are we in danger of going into administration?
Ignoring the fact that £10m cash is scheduled to go to DH next week.
Revenue this season is likely to be less than £10m with wages & other running costs likely to be £30m. Without a good £5m from the sale of LOB we will most likely breach FFP even if PH puts in £15m. Moreover is there a danger we go bust ??

Moreover is there a danger we go bust ?? I don't see any reason to believe that we're reliant upon a LoB transfer to keep afloat, although I expect a lot of the fee will get swallowed up with CGT, repayments to creditors & day to day running of the club. He wasn't one of the players that we were looking to sell at the start of the summer. |

I took it to be reference to people who claim to be ITK. People speaking with confidence that had no basis. Personally I won't believe anything until I see it from a highly respected source like townrwe's news networks. |

Moreover is there a danger we go bust ?? I believe the only person who can put us into administration is Dean and he isn't going to do that. If we can't afford the full repayment amount it will just mean it will take longer to pay him off. I doubt the repayment plan is very strict and will be flexible depending on how the club is doing. |

Selling players like it’s a market stall, wages going down faster than a popped balloon, but watch out we might breach those spending limits. |

That's true but Leeds are not coming up with the asking price that must be obvious so he will stay here unless they do but things can change regarding any club I'm sure Maynard blue will agree it's not at the end stage yet |

This is from Duckworth's press conference reported on the BBC: On whether Leeds fans can expect any further signings, Marcelo Bielsa said:
"It's not probable that any more signings will be made. I'm happy with the players I can count on at the moment. It's the same group as last season with the substitution of Firpo for Alioski.
“The young players who accompany the team have another year of experience. If we have the option to bring another player in we will do it has long as that player is able to challenge the player who already has that position.
“Signings that strengthen the team means a player has to compete with players who already have a position. That means there's a very high cost to these.
“With regards to this situation, if players don't arrive there's disappointment that they don't arrive."

Revenue this season is likely to be less than £10m with wages & other running costs likely to be £30m. Without a good £5m from the sale of LOB we will most likely breach FFP even if PH puts in £15m. Moreover is there a danger we go bust ?? Since Hodgkinson took over he has reduced the wage bill to around about the promotion season figure. (as per his interview with Oggy) He has brought in 21 players on permanent deals of which 13 were free transfers and made 11 loan signings. Transfer fees paid is around £14m, which £11m of that was for Mbenza. This is what Chicken wrote back in June Town’s wages for all staff and players in 2019/20 totalled £26.5m, less than half the £55.5m paid in the second Premier League season.
That is again not unexpected, though our data journalist David Dubas-Fisher notes that means that Town spent just 57% of their revenues on wages – the lowest percentage in the Championship based on each club’s most recent set of accounts, and less than half the divisional average of 121%.
However, that's partly because Town’s revenue is also much higher than many of their divisional rivals because of parachute payments. In real teams, Town’s wage bill was about average for the Championship.
Many clubs will have reduced their wage budgets for 2020/21 and presumably yet more will do so again for 2021/22. Still, for a newly-relegated club to have trimmed their wage bill by quite that amount is slightly unusual. That's not necessarily a bad thing for their long-term health, but it surely will have impacted their performance on the pitch in a relegation-threatened 2019/20 campaign. |
