    Came on for the last 8 minutes and by my reckoning didn't get a touch of the ball.

    You can't have been watching very closely.. He took a corner and did a short pass earlier. He did a fair bit of pressing too.

    Guessing they (Hungary) weren't sitting back then. He'll not be used to that. Sitting on a lead, backs to the wall stuff, we endured when winning lol.

    The £5.5m is turnover for next year will probably be closer to £7m but against that you will have payroll of £8m and then other costs will mean a loss of around £5m. That’s why there is the need for player sales to keep the club going next year.

    Here's my opinion - Conor Hourihane was player of the season in his first year at the club. In his second, he helped the club to a Wembley double, and when leaving the club, we were 8th in the second tier and he'd just scored what proved to be a match-winning free-kick against Leeds.

    More than 50 goal contributions in 135 games.

    So many iconic moments in a 30-month spell. The goals, the assists, leadership, regular ****housery, lifting trophies, being key to shifting perception of what it means to represent this club and how it's viewed by others. The man is a bonafide modern day hero/legend. He is everything we want our players to be and more.

    Midfield is vital. One top drawer, outstanding performer in midfield helps drive a team on and brings other pieces together.

    If there's one position we need to get right this coming season, it's fixing the middle of the park.

    But I think almost all supporters expect player sales, don’t we? We’ve lost players after most relegations in our history. As of other clubs.

    When people say ‘if we don’t sell players then administration looms’ it’s a bit of a dramatic stance isn’t it? Because there’s zero chance we don’t sell players.

    When he first joined that's fair comment. But in the promotion season and the year after he was as complete a central midfielder as I've ever seen for us with the possible exception of Redfearn.

    He also played with 2 very good midfielders. Pearson and Brownhill. Maybe the latter could be said was/ i a better footballer than him.

    I’ve been asking this question for quite some time, sadly nobody who poses questions to the club have actually asked it yet.

    Maybe one day, you never know.

    I took Neerav saying he wouldn’t take a salary to assume that none of the current “owner/directors” on the board would be taking one. I appreciate Khaled, Andrew Clark, Robert Zuk should be paid as they are employees of the clubs. Let’s not bring up interns, though, eh?

    I’m not allowed to reply to you, but I’m sure you think it’s fair given you’ve technically mentioned me in your reply without directing your comment outrightly at me?

    We asked Khaled this in the Q&A. We also asked Dane Murphy the same question in the Q&A with him.

    The answers at the time were Rob Zuk, the CEO, Paul Conway and James Cryne (from memory).

    Now, you might say that’s in the past and you want to know about right now. Fair. But other questions have taken a priority to the majority of supporters. I’ll personally ask it for you the next time we have any kind of forum that I attend. I was busy enjoying life for the most recent ones.

    I wouldn't be happy,if we got only £3.5 million for Helik, Woodrow and Styles. I think we should be able to get £3.5 million for Helik alone. We got that for Marc Roberts, and £5.5 million for Alfie Mawson. I would think Helik is considered to be one of the best centre backs in the Championship over the last two seasons.

    Would agree but neither of those were coming off relatively poor seasons and didn’t have 12 months on their contract. I don’t think anyway? Always harder to get true value for players on their way down, so to speak, than up. We’re also in post COVID times which I think makes fees at our level difficult.

    I expect that there will be a number of Championship clubs who will be splashing the cash.

    Possibly. Not convinced myself as still think it’s fragile out there in terms of fees rather than wages.

    Burnley might look at him given they need three new CBs.
