📝 Kouhyar Signs

Right, yes they did.

With Padel being the fastest growing sport in the UK it was a no brainer to build the facility especially especially when it was only used for car parking behind the Kop.

When the industrial unit directly behind the Derek Pavis became available to purchase if you own the adjacent football club you just buy it. Don?t even think about. Huge marriage value with that purchase and improves the match day experience for fans just like the improved F&B outlets for people in The Kop.

I have not seen the numbers but I would to see the P&Ls for both

Using the land/building was a no-brainer really and the costs involved must be very close to be recouped if not already achieved. I don't think money has been diverted from players budgets to infrastructure, we have a budget for the season and no matter what, we stay within that budget (negative IMO when for the price of a couple of pints we could be in L1 now (pints was a joke)).

Saying something is a "no-brainer" after it's become successful is pretty easy. I'd never heard of Padel, and I'm guessing Smiffypie you weren't campaigning for Paddles not puddles in the car park. (puddles is a joke)
On your wider point, I agree that if a few decisions, signings and games had gone differently in Jan/Feb, we would indeed be in L1.

Yep, I imagine a few Leicester fans were complaining when they signed Jamie Vardy in 2012 from Fleetwood, who had just been promoted to the football league.
Leicester had already signed Manchester United duo Ritchie de Laet and Matthew James to their squad. Whatever happened to them.

Vardy was a player on the up and for ?1m he was a gamble who payed off.

This is a bloke released by York City a league below us totally different.

He will be nothing other than a bench warmer for the better signings that we shall hopefully soon be signing..

EFL regulations say that we need three international players to postpone matches. Now if we add Jatta and Jones... Thanks to CBP in the other thread for pointing that out.

Wasn't it Boucaud?

Yes I know that.

EFL regulations have also put a spending cap on L1/L2 clubs now as well which means every penny counts.

The first remit of a signing is the player good enough for this standard, it doesnt look like it to me.

We'll have to judge him on how he plays, it's as simple as that. It's oddly similar to Boucard who came from 2 leagues below at 30 and was half decent, even getting MOTM on his debut (I think).

Not the Top 20 is a podcast by two blokes who have quite a lot of in depth football knowledge about all clubs below the Premier League.

Got you, thanks.

There are so many of these YouTube accounts and podcasts from self-appointed experts these days. Do they really have that much more knowledge than the average fan? Most of it seems to be waffle and guesswork IMO. The difference is that they have a platform now whereas 25 years ago they'd just spout off in the pub to their mates. I'll stick to making my own assessment...which is that Kouhyar is bobbins and Norburn is finished.
