    Can't see us targeting any league position and certainly not splashing any money as we are in the great unknown with this covid.
    No idea how it's going to work re attendance but it's bound to be badly hit and it was struggling pre covid !

    Hope I'm wrong but just can't see us splashing the cash. BOD could never be accused of being ambitious.

    With the windfall from the sell on clause from the Dykes transfer then just how best should Queens invest this cash? Quick slash and try and purchase better than average Championship players but this would not get you many and the wages would have the club on their knees very quickly as the money evaporated into the pockets of these "better" players, let's face it the better players will already be playing at a higher level for equally higher wages. To invest for the future Queens should be looking at good potential youth players who we can sign up on longer term contracts giving us the possibility of other sell on benefits as happened with Dykes. The only reason we had Dykes was his Dumfries family connections and that he was off the radar of the larger clubs having come from Australia therefore was unknown. Spotting and getting these talented youngsters will clearly not be easy as they are generally snapped up early through the scouting organisations of the bigger clubs so we perhaps need to look at either currently unknown local talent, if they exist, or cast our nets further afield such as the North of England but whatever it will still be a gamble but I would rather have keen and enthusiastic youth than journeymen simply picking up wages for the minimum of effort.

    IMO We should invest the money by knocking down Palmerston, sell off the land for housing or more business premises and relocate with a new stadium and training facilities.
    We have a builder running the club. What better time to make a permanent mark and invest for our future.

    We sit watching football in a pigeon sh*t infested dump from the 1960's. Its time to give it the send off it deserves.

    Common sense, rather than investing just sell off and relocate.

    i defo get you on that point deek ,this would make sense ,however if queens do go down that root id like to see us building some covered terraces on any new stadium as 80% of all seater stadiums turn out to be lifeless morgues .
