My view is that : We should sell Horvath because we do not

Sun Jun 29, 2025 1:58 pm

My View is that :

We should sell Horvath because we do not need two experienced keepers …and Turner is a good enough cover .

We should sell Chambers , NG and Robinson because they are on high wages …and while they are easily good enough for this division …they are replaceable . Daland and Willock I would prefer to let go .


Salech and Robertson …I believe ..we will be forced to sell (if Tan is owner …but not if Bale).

We need players like Salech and Robertson if we really want promotion.



However , not all will/can be sold …so I say 5 will go ….leaving BBM with more than enough room ….and MONEY …to get who he wants (5 or more).

Agree with all of that but I’d like Salech and Robertson to stay (especially YS) :bluescarf:

I think Horvath will go and we'll bring in a young goalkeeper on loan to be first choice.

I don't agree that both Robertson and Salech will go. Robertson may do but he hasn't even held those talks with BBM yet so nobody can be sure.

There are zero concrete reports of interest in Salech. This is what I expected. Always said few teams will pay the money based on half a season. He is also on a long contract.

We will keep a lot more of our best players than some are saying. That's my prediction.

We will also add to the squad while getting rid of fringe players.

I'm feeling positive about the season and about the head coach.

I would sell selech get best price possible let Robertson go it looks like he favours portsmouth now we league one I'd get rid of both keepers neither that great to be honest if bbm wants to play procession play we need a keeper that's good with his feet to be able to pass the ball money u get for salech and Robertson get a quality striker maybe loan one or pay the fees for everyone you sold chambers can go ng can go I'd get rid of willock basically get rid of deadwood most of the players that couldn't play for riza I'd get rid of start again from scratch bbm apparently has connections so shouldn't be a problem

I hope your right, but I believe if offers are made Tan will Sell Sell.

Des,

Tan won’t put the money back in.

Re: My view is that : We should sell Horvath because we do

Sun Jun 29, 2025 2:40 pm

Salech is unsellable if the club hold any aspirations to go up. Robertson is similar. They need to stick to very high valuations. 7m for Salech and 4m for Robertson. But players hold the keys nowadays. It's whether BBM can persuade them of the project.
It will not be easy to move on all the high earners either so turn over may take two windows.

Re: My view is that : We should sell Horvath because we do

Sun Jun 29, 2025 2:41 pm

That’s promising . Re Salech if he hasn’t got a relegation clause I expect the club to slap on an 8-10m valuation. I don’t think many clubs would take the gamble after just four months in the championship

Re: My view is that : We should sell Horvath because we do

Sun Jun 29, 2025 2:43 pm

You are probably right annis about tan not spending the money on sales think it would be mainly loans by looks

Re: My view is that : We should sell Horvath because we do

Sun Jun 29, 2025 2:47 pm

BBM has said we don't need to sell so if we start selling all our players who are worth a decent fee that would tell me that we are closer to being sold than is letting on and tan is gonna quickly asset strip

So then the dilemma is would we prefer tan not to sell keep our best players and maybe get promoted first time

Or tan makes as much money as possible selling our best players than sells the club to bale and we miss out on promotion

I for one would gladly except a couple of seasons in league 1 if it meant getting rid of the dictator and his board of clowns

That’s my biggest Worry Des.

Re: My view is that : We should sell Horvath because we do

Sun Jun 29, 2025 3:34 pm

Totally agree Annis, players mentioned where not good enough for us, if they were perhaps we would still be in the Championship, BBM needs to freshen up get his new blood in, get out of this league.

So you’d sell a quality striker (Salech) to find another quality striker? :laughing6:

Quality strikers are hard to come by and you’ll either need to pay a lot for one or get lucky like we did with Salech (which has proven difficult).

Keep Salech…

Only about the manager I can still comment good or bad on another subject everybody says about salech he's only had 4 months in championship why would anyone buy him yet you say he's going to be hard to replace which means he's quality so any decent team would see that I can see him being sold so.i said get as much as you possibly you can for him didn't mention the coach

Trying to make sense of what you've wrote there is a challenge for a start.

But it's not me who's replied with the stuff you've pointed out, although I do agree with the points the other people made to you.

You literally said you'd sell the whole team :lol: :lol:

Can't take that seriously and I'd be surprised if you can that seriously.

Re: My view is that : We should sell Horvath because we do

Sun Jun 29, 2025 5:31 pm

BTW it's not a negative post what I said I can see him being sold and if bbm has to have a chat with Robertson about his future well that's usually not good so get best price you can for them what's negative?

Re: My view is that : We should sell Horvath because we do

Re: My view is that : We should sell Horvath because we do

Sun Jun 29, 2025 5:37 pm

Maybe some of the points I made I'm disappointed still from last season and shouted from the hip but ment what I said about salech if he's being sold must be a big amount at least 8 10 mil Robertson has to be around 6 mil 7 mil I'd get rid of both keepers willock and maybe chambers get some replacements for them maybe ng on last year's displays I would say 6 7 replacements not really the whole team

We have struggled to score goals for years.

We have tried many different strikers, all of them struggled.

We finally get a striker who can get 20 goals in a season, and you want to sell him.

You lose all credibility at that point.

The timeline would probably go like this:

You say you want to sell Salech > Salech gets sold > Don’t bring in a suitable replacement that can score goals > Unable to win games through lack of goals > Complain that board sold Salech > Call them all clowns.

He is probably sitting down or sat down with everyone of them. Paper rumours. probably goes like this

BBM: Hello Alex
AR: Hi Gaffer
BBM: How was last season?
AR A shitshow, there's better run u11 clubs
BBM: Yeah, but i am the boss now, and you know i won't allow any of that. What the Pompey interest?
AR: Well I enjoyed it down there and they want me back
BBM: Great are they going to match our £5 million valuation? ........Thought not. Now you know what I want, so pop back to the training pitch and tell Robbo it's his chat next.

I think there is big potential with Dalach. Also think Robertson and Salech will stay

Here he goes again.

Whilst I don’t agree on some of the posters suggestions, and sometimes I agree with yours, it seems you are always waiting in the wings to take a sarcastic pot shot at any City fan who has a different view point to you. You make it look like your almost scanning for opportunities to do so. Yesterday you called it the most negative or miserable forum on the internet or something like that. Find another one then….As my not very good memory tells me You had a pop at me for worrying about and criticising Bulut early doors and sticking to it throughout, yet you were sticking to your top 6 prediction almost right up to his long overdue sacking, and similarly with the ridiculously out of his depth Riza, backing him until a few weeks before his exit. Those two poor managers have landed us in the third tier. Home and away I saw very little fight, pride, skill, quality, unity or passion from these first teamers who currently all remain in our club. So what do you expect the way things are! The decision making patterns don’t change! Many fans are going to make posts like this! We have been conditioned to a badly run football club, end of! I will reserve judgement until the window is closed in terms of reshuffles. 12 games to get a vibe for the manager, it’s speculation city meets FM25 at the moment. So let’s not get antsy, it’s ok to challenge the opinion respectfully but not the person, you do that.

I’ll post what I want, but thank you for your input.

It is the most negative.

His post wanting to sell Salech is ridiculous.

I love how you post ‘end of’ as if no one can say anything more on the subject :D

‘You don’t like it then find another one’ - you want to whinge about everything the club does, why don’t you buy it then?

Like I said, like you I don’t agree with a lot he said, no need for personal. We are fractured enough due to fan divisions caused by Tan putting us into the third tier with a whimper. And yes,many of us are happy to admit we have been conditioned by events of last few years, travelling the length and breadth of England, I had a curry the other night with like minded, most of whom post here.

Your last sentence, I’ll leave that alone

Re: My view is that : We should sell Horvath because we do

Mon Jun 30, 2025 2:13 pm

Regarding selling Salech, I believe he’s totally good enough for championship, any good scouts/manager would know this, I would be gutted to lose him. If Tan always put back fees received for transfers then I agree and would sell him to suitors like WBA etc for as much as we can get. But Tan has not been doing that for many years. So desperate for him to stay.

I really not bothered if people don't agree with what I say if I was that bothered I just wouldn't post anything everything alot of people say I don't agree with
ill make my judgement on head coach once season starts said after 15 games I'm not expecting much but that's just my opinion whether you agree or not I'm not bothered anyway think it's time I left this site It's not really my thing onwards and upwards
