Re: Schu me the way to Amarillo - Summer 2025 Transfer Thread

What would the work permit situation be anyway? I think this is an unlikely deal tbh. Sounds like fanciful reporting especially since we are committed to in person scouting, this guy hasn’t played much and feels like he’d be a random data pick if anything. Doubt we have had time to really look at t...

Ironic we get a Scandi-rando link on the weekend Ludonautics bite the dust.
Yeah something about it doesn’t scan right to me. Was he maybe a legacy target and they are using that history to try and draw out other suitors?

Can see this happening if we push Sheehan up to 10, and listen to offers for one of the others. Not exactly a priority position though.
Well Iles seems to be suggesting the Swedish mon can play left back which then ties a lot up. A big hulking left back who can fill in at DM seems quite logical.

Re: Schu me the way to Amarillo - Summer 2025 Transfer Thread

Nixon saying that Celtic want a million for Kenny. So think that is going to rule us out. I want lots of things, big step up from want and get. Sure but Celtic aren’t a league one club who will be thinking if they don’t sell they might lose out and cost them a years revenue. So I suspect it will be...

Just come home in an ambulance after a week in dock due to a clumsy fall. Awful time as Bolton hospital don't heed temperature control and every night was like trying to sleep in a greenhouse.

Re: Schu me the way to Amarillo - Summer 2025 Transfer Thread

Why would you employ a - presumably - reasonably remunerated consultancy and not ask the question around where to deploy the resources. That's perfectly normal with the proviso that you're still on the hook for determining how you use that advice. I doubt Ludonautics were saying, "Ian, you're going...

Re: Schu me the way to Amarillo - Summer 2025 Transfer Thread

Consultancies exist in most business fields - as external profit making agencies - whether their value to us/you is worth much is subjective. They had B3 Shares with no voting rights. When we bought back Hart's B Shares and Markham's, they were £10 and £16. On the data side - you don't get to pick ...

Nixon reporting BW have “split with” Ludonautics. Oh well. Thank god. Didn’t want them having anything to do with us. Any major reason, mate? I'm if favour of us using credilble analytics, just not them being "instead of," proper scouting, but "supplemental to." I'm not sure I know enough about wha...

Not for me. We haven't got the players to play a 4232.
More crucially has Sharon got the money to pay off the referees?

Re: Schu me the way to Amarillo - Summer 2025 Transfer Thread

Assuming we are playing 433 this sounds like an alternative or competition for the Dalby role as he is apparently another big lad but one who is more pacy and runs the line. Not unlike Hardie… I've been operating under that assumption, but I'm beginning to wonder, given a (reported) sizeable splash...

Re: Schu me the way to Amarillo - Summer 2025 Transfer Thread

Scottish rag the Daily Record report that Celtic have turned down a Bolton bid of £500k for their Irish striker Johnny Kenny. Sounds like signings for the future. Are we after a load of calculated gambles that may pay off as part of the business model? Was hoping we'd get someone tried and tested t...

Re: League One 25/26 - the Runners and Riders, or Schumacher's First Strike

I think (and I'm sure we do), take each game on it's merits. I think the speculation about who might be "up there" the coming season, is just so much guesswork - we'd have probably all picked Brum out, last year and maybe Wrexham - but how many got Wycombe and Stockport - Charlton and Orient - dunn...

Re: Schu me the way to Amarillo - Summer 2025 Transfer Thread

I'll be impressed if Lincoln offer him £35k, a number I suspect Capology have plucked from thin air, as they do. Good on 'em all. More seriously, IDK - let's see who turns up (and where freebies like Toffolo, if not necessarily him, end up - if anywhere). It's possible if Conway impresses in pre-se...
