Michael Ndiweni going from making his debut for us to joining a team on loan who are on the verge of being relegated to the Scottish League Two.

 

Not surprised Eddie doesn't trust our youngsters if that's the standard that's been making our bench

Our youngsters have made fuck all impact on loan. Most of the time now they’re literally playing (or not playing given Ameobi’s expert loans) at a level they’ll be lucky to be at if they’re released.

@Optimistic Nut bring him home?

The way they're still sat there on SSN with the clock ticking.

 

Pathetic.

It's down the road though, probably gets him a little time to grow, and the lads not having to up sticks and live in hotel for 4 months moving miles away.

Agree with all that but the standard of football at that level is genuinely appalling. Watched Elgin a few times over the years and seriously I reckon a half decent Northern League Div 2 team would tear them a new one.

How many times do people have to be reminded that Shola doesn’t do the loans?

I don't think he's gone there for the level, it's a different experience for him down the road. There's little left of the season, if this was the start of a new season I'd agree, and equally his options to challenge himself would be better.

He’s also 20y/o now so he needs to get his career going now. There doesn’t seem much prospect of him making it to premier league level if that’s the standard he is now.

Shola is a gent and a top top man. I’ll not hear a fucking word about him. Dan Ashworth oversees and signs off on players leaving on loan fwiw.

I really don't see the point in loaning players to really shit sides. You learn nothing from that. I'd rather loan someone to a team going for promotion in a lower league.

He's out of contract in the summer isn't he? May be as much giving him a chance to get another deal elsewhere if we don't see a future for him here

Plus the good clubs have to actually be interested. Harrogate just loaned a kid from Blackburn, which is only a 2 league gap.

Athletic have a piece up about our window for those that care to read it.

Must be gripping given nothing happened ?

I’ve read worst from them a lot of could shoulda woulda stuff (they name drop Mcsauce as someone we discussed internally  )

 

Also discussed the prospect of us selling Bruno and Joelinton this summer to fund spending. 
 

Commercial deals to be announced soon supposedly (makes me wonder if we are actually over our FFP and we are going to leverage commercial deals to bring us back). 
 

and this summer will be busier than last.

Ready for Conor Gallagher and Mcsauce?

 

Jokes aside, I think we are due a bit of refresh, let’s hope whatever sacrifice we make is enough to push us to the next level.

Is Shola still arranging the loans?

[Whitley mag]

Spending down £715 million on 2023 not good for the PL product or governments coffers, i think it’s safe to say changes will be made.

What makes you think changes will be made? And what kind of changes do you expect?

I don’t think Shola has ever been “arranging” the loans but his role is to manage the players when they go out on loan?

They’ll increase the limits as it’s not been raised to take into account inflation for a start. So many clubs appear to be on the limit, it’s not sustainable in its current guise and I don’t  think the will to stop us spending will stand up for much longer in PL voting.

His gaff in Medburn still isn’t sold.

Clubs at the limit: Forest, ourselves, Villa, Man United and Chelsea. 
 

Votes needed to pass a rule change: 14. 
 

So, 9 more votes needed to change the rule. I don’t see it happening and would urge you not to get your hopes up. 
 

Don’t get me wrong, the rules are absolute dogshit, the only things the current rules do is protect incumbents which is exactly why they won’t be loosened imho.

I would add Everton to that list and think others will be thinking differently now judging by lack of spending. A major problem is aligning the PL and UEFA rules though, not sure how clubs wanting change and with ambitions of competing in Europe get round that, if you qualify Europe you could then find yourself having to slash spending, when it’s a time you should be looking to invest more.
