The plan’s outside the boat, or inside the boat, or trying to get on the boat, or something like that.

Anyone else that’s injured a lot - Samuelson. We need robust players. Neither keeper has impressed me. New keeper as there has to be a better alternative on the free transfer list.
When I stand/sit behind the goal I'm terrified. It can't be easy being a goalkeeper behind City's defence.
It wasn't that long ago that JDW and Burke looked decent, and seemed to be growing month by month. Then something happened. If they can get back to it, they should be more than good enough for L1.
Another large overhaul next summer then. I wouldn’t look to move on anyone. The money would likely be spent on consultancy fees. The budget to replace anyone would be absolutely minimalist. The Athletic - I think it was - claimed we had been approaching agents saying we would not be paying more than £4K a week. When we were expected to be in division 1. Now we’ve been relegated that wage has probably been halved to £2k a week.
"When we were expected to be in division 1." should read "When we were expected to be in the Championship"
Are you saying that "The Athletic - I think it was - claimed we had been approaching agents saying we would not be paying more than £4K a week. When we were expected to be in division 1." and the Athletic were saying that we had been approaching agents and saying we would not be paying more than £4k a week when we were expected to be in the Premier League?
