Be great if we can mutually agree to terminate Labadies contract in January. It wouldn’t surprise me if that’s the plan.

Not many of those signings jump out at you as real quality! A squad of journey men with a distinctly mid-table look about them - let’s hope Mickey Flynn can get a tune out of them!

What would be the point? He’d probably be back up to fitness by then and we’d still need to pay the remainder of his contract if we let him go.

Mutually terminate in Jan. Dont pay his wages. Between Jan and June 2023. That’s if of course someone wants him. Can’t Imagine there will be many takers

It seems to me that we spent MORE last pre season. Certainly in terms of the quality of player. All a bit bizarre given we were told a ‘series of strategic investments will be made’. In what exactly :grinning:.

in the saddlers club of course isn’t that why all fans go to the games :joy:

said it in the fan survey if the backing is purely spent off field you’ll have more and more fans thinking this is a land grab for the freehold to make a easy profit, I understand why they’ve prioritised some of the off field things but I feel like getting out of this league should of been the priority then that stuff!

I dunno hopefully like the dicky dosh era we will click and be a hard to beat team and do it.
We can but hope!

Maybe the Yanks will turn it into a Hooters. After consultation of course

It certainly won’t be a “Shooters” with the strikers we have!!

HOOTERS could be a right money spinner for the club 2bh. Matchday booze. Birds in orange shorts and vests dishing out the fried chicken.

What’s not to like.

Oh I dunno I’d image you’d moan about the size of the staff’s chests.
