Nope, born 6/9/02 so he's 21. This season just dying now is also the final underage season for Matheson, Khumbeni, Sithole, Hutchinson and Carty. So does that mean we currently have zero outfield players we don't need to register? I'm befuddled by birthday cake and wouldn't trust my recall right now.

Do you think he in any way is the sort of manager to deliver a side that can do that? I get it mate, you have a "WWSD?" tattoo on your arse. I don't care how Sam would do it. If Evatt is the manager I care how he will do it. If it's someone else I'll care how he will do it. Sam was over 15 years ag...

The rumoured (and I stress rumoured) wages/bonuses to get these lads in through the door early at Rotherham are a bit eyewatering at this level. If there's any agent with a player who might fit they're walking barefoot to Rotherham if needed. Suppose we should be happy they're looking for different ...

Either way, that gets us to 7. :-) Well, 4-7 with the emphasis probably on 4. We are carrying 19(?) players into next season. Before we get into squad registration there's limited space there for new arrivals. Oi, DSB...is Zac Ashwoth a freebie next season, or do we need to register him? Don't make...

even with the #115charges. The 115 charges thing is valid, but that's on the money men. To win 4 in a row, even with a financial advantage, is incredible work from the football staff and players. It's not like Man Utd didn't have a vast, vast advantage in money when they were kings of England. Ther...

4WBs and a "good as Maghoma" MF doesn't sound cheap, but our Swiss contingent tell us they understand what it takes.. I don't understand the "4 wingbacks" bit. 2 wingbacks, serious centre half and a midfielder are the "must haves." #2 keeper, another mid and a striker with genuine pace are the "wou...

Well, if we can get a good fee for him, clearly it might be good for all parties

I'd ask for a packet of chocolate bourbons, but suspect Steve Evans will have placed a transfer embargo on those.

GhostoftheBok

For the record, I don't think we need 4 *new* WBs. Randell and Cogz fine as options for some games. What I would like is two better alternatives than Ogbeta/Ashworth on one side and... Geth? Matheson? on the other. Cogley and Williams have, at times, performed admirably down those flanks. They're n...

Joe Rafferty joins JCH at Rotherham.

Steve Evans and two experienced, quality players.

Insane may need to switch clubs at this rate.

The thing about continuity is it's ultimately a solid business decision.

Radical change is expensive.

We've made investments with a projected return. We will have a limited budget this summer.

Obviously not going up costs us money every season, but cash is currently the issue.

We could call it "The Third Coming." That should keep everyone happy...

Certainly keeps my wife happy.

Given I live about a mile from the ground I was thrilled city win yesterday. Last thing I needed was a week long street party. Saw photos on twitter of their forlorn looking victory arch :lol: I think going around and applauding and stuff is fitting. They have played some great stuff and it's been ...

Is Iredale under contract?

Yes.

I wonder whether Evatt reads forums? There must be plenty in the game who do.

Probably.

Bad week for him to indulge, if so.

Someone at the club certainly will.

GhostoftheBok

Aye, which is why (even with your commendable parsing of "ones for the future and ones for the now") I'm not sure we should be signing Ashworth or Ogbeta. Strong argument for saying we need better than Ogbeta, more worth than Ashworth. Wouldn't argue with that for a second. The coaching staff have ...

GhostoftheBok

I'm not sure, simply because I've never seen him there. TBH I've not seen a vast amount of him at LWB either. In what I did see, he didn't scream "title-winning left-back stranded in the wrong system". Iredale, Johnston, Ashworth and Williams. We weren't good enough down that flank this season and ...

It’s also the stuff that most irks me from those who continually make out he’s the greatest manager we could ever have.

Has anyone actually said that?

GhostoftheBok

I'm currently watching Arsenal being "thanked" by their fans for a season where they've spent a couple of hundred million and won nothing.

Think I'd rather see drunk idiots screaming vile abuse at Evatt (in front of their 4-year-old children) again than that.

Ian has been very clear that he views this club as a vehicle for his inevitable rise to the Premier League. We are very fortunate to get to rid his coattails as Jesus guides him on. If he views this as no longer where the lord intends for him to attain greatness, he may move on. When prophecy fails ...

GhostoftheBok

I like Ogbeta personally, but I would like to see us sign a next-level WB on both sides. We knew last summer we needed one on the right - hence K*ne W*lson - and I think we need a Randell rival on the left. Whether Oggy's that, I dunno. Of course, if we're switching to a back four.... If we'd signe...
