Loans loans and more loans

IF we go up, we'll need 15 players

Are we allowed 15 loans in the Chamionship?

 

[Tin Soldier]

IF we go up, we'll need 15 players

Well we'll need new owners before that can happen

 

[gavrocks]

Yes, quite. We had two years to get the youngsters ship shape, because if we don't go up then a lot of them might be catapulted into the first team.

Donald's strategy however, has always been shit or bust: we get up in two seasons. Why? Because that's how he lines his pocket.

do we actually have any young lads who are good enough to play in this league at the moment that's the question you have to ask yourself

None at all need clearing out and told to stick in with their school work

 

[Safc88]

Its a worry the amount that are out of contract end of the season, we may need nearly a whole new squad

Likes of robson, if we are loaning him out give him a new deal first or he chance to do well again and sign somewhere else end of the season

 

[Ale taster]

our 2020 summer recruitment is going to have to be phenomenal. We are going to need a whole new squad

....and therefore new owners.

as ive always hoped that one day our academy would be able to turn out young lads to improve the team i surely hope so

 

[Ageing Grey Mackem]

He’s a bellend. Probably the worst on the board

Steady on. There’s fierce competition for that accolade.

 

[RichD]

how can people not understand that loans cost money too. what difference does it make buying or loaning someone if they are good enough?

This.....Some people seem to think we get them in for free

Boro did it. They appeared to prioritise their Academy after relegation.
I just think it shows Donald had no intention of sticking around long-term. There's no way he can fund the signing of a whole new squad, in any division.

I appreciate loans can occasionally help.
but I'd rather be a club who didn't rely on loans than one who does. It's a bad habit imo and one I presumed we'd break after Ellis went

 

[DoctorMick]

13 I think then add in loans etc gonna be a huge turnover wether we go up or not.

Contracts can be renewed tho so it’s possible not all 13 players will leave. If we go up I’d imagine they all will tho.

 

[safcmackem]

We never seem to learn. As if Loans are any good we will lose them then have to do a massive rebuild in the summer

 

[Weardale warrior]

I don’t get why people are against this. SD said we would be doing this and in league 1 it’s common for 1 or 2 year contracts and player turnover is often higher. We don’t need to spend spend spenD to get out of this league. And I’d argue it’s a bigger risk to spend hoping that the player will adapt or be able to play championship standard if we get out the league. Therefore the loan system can be gratefully beneficial as long as it is not stemming progression for our young academy players.

 

[darius]

For anyone believing his spiel about the timing of the fanzines' statement (which wasn't great tbf) what was his excuse for not spending in the summer, whilst actively trying to sell the club?


This. Most of the squad is out of contract I believe.

Which may suit us if we get promoted.

The opposite can also apply, you're stuck with a load of knackers.

Things are looking up then?

 

[Bugsy]

I couldn’t give a fuck whether they’re bought, on a free or loaned just as long as we get out of this hell pit

 

[TopCat]

Not exactly backing is it

For a team unsure of what division it's going to be next season, short term deals and loans are perfect
