Rumours that we are looking to sell Jackson hopefully not truw, think he would be really good playing wide with a top nos 9 in the middle
Certain players should be untouchable regarding sales Palmer Cacaido clearly two best players.
I would put Jackson Colwill Cucarella Lavia when fit in the next group.
If a first 11 player is sold for big money should be Enzo.
1.) 15 Feb 2025 11:54:19
Seymns, I have long held the view that our current owners are running CFC as a business and that is fine.
My guess is every player at CFC has a price. I’ve said I no longer feel an attachment towards my club and that includes, sadly, the players.
2.) 15 Feb 2025 12:21:36
Tom B same with me, I actually think i lost the close attatchment during the Roman years although we were succesful so many players came in, guess that has always been the case maybe it's an age thing.
Felt the closest to the team during the Dixon Speedie Nevin team guess it's a time of life thing football's importance lessens when wife and kids come along
Obviously still want us to do well.
3.) 15 Feb 2025 12:40:08
Howcis it fine Tom, first and foremost CFC is a football club, the business should follow.
If they think they are running a business, my God they are hopeless at that as well, no FOS losing circa £40mil this season and every fan knows ww need a much larger stadium, again losing money each season.
I would like to know why in gods name our so called beloved CST and CPO thought they were the best people to take our club forward because at the moment, they are very poor owners to day the least, u would put them on par with the Glazers.
4.) 15 Feb 2025 13:08:13
Bill, in my opinion they bought the club as an investment. They will run it as a business and if that means their core product is buying and selling players there is little we can do about it.
The stadium debate has been done to death and is hardly the fault of our present owners alone.
I have nothing to compare them with they have spent huge amounts of money, so I guess that proves some sort of desire for success. I guess I see them more like the spuds owners but on steroids.
5.) 15 Feb 2025 13:11:22
Bill I think they are better owners than the Glazers maybe they are deluded as to to how easy it was going to be naive but they have put money into the team albeit spent badly. Would rather have them in charge than Oldham Jim at Man Utd.
It was always going to be tough to follow Roman obviously we won the CL with Tuchel but towards the end of the Roman years we were in decline.
6.) 15 Feb 2025 13:13:32
Seymns, I think I started feeling detached when the Bates v Harding debate got out of control. The successful years under Roman were brilliant but when that regime started selling players that had come through the academy and who I thought we be the new foundation of our club it dawned on me that nothing has really changed from the days of selling Greaves to rescue the club or Ossie and Wilkins.
It’s the club I love so unfortunately I have to put up with some of the people associated with it.
7.) 15 Feb 2025 13:24:49
TomB the Bates harding era was strange who knows what would have happened if Harding hadn't been killed,
My detatchment partly happened as I moved out of London and I don't get to the Bridge hardly at all these days.
8.) 15 Feb 2025 13:31:33
Tom
I agree that we all love the club which is why we are so passionate about ownership, SD's, coaches and players both academy and bought.
I also agree with you on the Bates, Harding issue.
The present ownership, like Roman are losing money hand over fist so I'm not quite sure how they will get their investment back never mind making a profit which I know private equity like to do for their investors.
9.) 15 Feb 2025 14:31:15
Bill, from what I have read there is an opinion that says our club was seriously undervalued when it was sold to our current owners. There is also a theouabout potential sports revenue schemes going through the roof in seasons to come.
The reported losses we very likely turn to profit as the clubs recruitment ambitions change over the next few seasons.
10.) 15 Feb 2025 14:41:23
the owners will sell any player theyl profit from make no mistake about it and i would sell jackson he's not good enough like the majority of our squad.
11.) 15 Feb 2025 15:11:22
Any chance on selling our SD's and Maresca?
12.) 15 Feb 2025 16:16:35
Seymns and Bill, I knew Mathew Harding reasonably well and he wasn’t the nicest person in the world and on the other side we had Bates who was maybe one of the most difficult people in the world. It was always a recipe for disaster.
Just as a very small footnote the widow and family of MH played an important part in the transformation of CFC and that for me should never be forgotten.!
13.) 15 Feb 2025 18:44:07
Regardless of there goal, whether it's building a winning side or a successful money making business, they're doing appallingly. We lost out on £40m this season with no fos sponsor and I can't think of a single player other than palmer who would definitely sell for more than we paid for them. Enzo, caicedo, neto, mudryk, fofana and more would almost certainly net us a loss. Doesn't mean they're bad players but there value is much lower than what it was.
14.) 15 Feb 2025 19:20:03
The maths of the FOS sponsor is interesting. As I’ve said before and I am only guessing a one season deal even at £40 may not be as beneficial to a long term deal. Obviously the term of any deal will be subject to us potentially qualifying for the CL and our participation in the WCC.
15.) 16 Feb 2025 10:15:22
Come on Tom really. There has been zero benefit to not having a sponsor this year no matter how it's spun. If we get a multi year sponsor next year, it won't be 'we'll done' it'll be why didny we get a short term sponsor?
16.) 16 Feb 2025 10:24:49
Tom
We will definitely participate in the WCC, for how long that's another question.
Regarding qualifying for the CL, forget it, we are 6th and sliding fast.
17.) 16 Feb 2025 13:33:33
I am not “spinning” anything. I have made it clear several times that mathematically there could be a financial case for not agreeing to a long term FOS deal. i have also made it very clear that I am guessing.
I have no idea if a short term FOS deal was available without including the WCC but I am happy to except any information on that subject. My guess is that adding the WCC to a long term deal and a potential campaign in next season’s Champions League would offer one hell of a lot of money. Of course there is also a risk attached to such a commercial decision.
18.) 16 Feb 2025 15:54:44
As Greavesy used to say: “ It’s a funny old game”. Every PL club will have to pay£1 million to the PL for their legal costs and cock-up with APT rules and Everton and Forest each paid £2 million to try and get themselves relegated. Football was the peoples game because no matter how poor you were you could play and it was affordable to watch for working people. Those days are gone but look at Germany where the fans have a majority shares in their clubs. A season ticket for Bayern Munich can be bought for £104 ( obviously long waiting lists) The president of Bayern, Uli Hoeness commented about Bayern’s refusal to increase ticket prices said: “ we do not think fans are like cows, who you can milk”.
19.) 16 Feb 2025 16:26:34
Jimbo, I had no idea that is the ST price at BM. What brilliant value and what a heart warming comment from there president.
A West Ham supporter mate was telling me the other week that when the owners of the happy hammers put forward the case for moving to the Olympic stadium was an increase in stadium capacity would bring down the price of seats and ST’s. Apparently the reverse has happened.
Moooooo.
20.) 16 Feb 2025 20:41:46
I’m on not an account but a brief look at the BM accounts would suggest they have about £100m more revenue than the gooners, £150m more than the spuds and about £200m more than us.
They also have about fifteen players being paid more than €200k per week.
The strange thing is even if we increased our revenue to the BM levels I couldn’t see us bringing down our ST prices.
21.) 16 Feb 2025 23:00:37
Can I ask why Colwill? I think he’s been a massive disappointment. He’s good on the ball but his defending is awful. He’s so weak!
I do agree that Jackson would make a quality left winger as he still has so much to his game. We missed a trick not singing Jhon Duran he’s going to be a brilliant striker. So complete for a youngster and he’s a great target man something we desperately lack right now.
22.) 03 Mar 2025 21:41:13
Imo I have long known tomb as a hypocrite. When you state the obvious, he downplays it only to turn around and admit it later. I had long time ago said that the boely and Co are only interested in the business aspects of the club and not on the pitch success as roman did. But came in heavily on their defence against it.
Now he's telling us that he had long seen that the new owners are this and that.
Saw some reports that the fans on ground, not tombs, were on some protests against how the club is headed in wrong direction since boely and Co. We will constantly be on the case else we are becoming a shadow of the club we were. Some claim to be more Chelsea than the rest but are just delusional.
23.) 04 Mar 2025 08:18:40
Tussle, can I suggest that you spend less time worrying about my opinions and posts and more time supporting the club.
I didn’t attend the Southampton game so I no personal knowledge of the protest you mentioned but I am told it was a bit of a damp squib.
I would have also thought that the club being successful would have been good news for the owners business investment.

If the betting markets are to be believed looks like Delap is on his way to the bridge .
I think he will be a great success as always time will tell one more experienced forward and a top keeper will have us in a great place.
1.) 29 May 2025 08:16:09
Seymns, he wouldn’t be my first choice but I’m happy to except our brilliant SD’s decision.
Of course when he signs he will immediately become one of the best CF’s in the world.
2.) 29 May 2025 08:53:10
TomB
I think we need another experienced forward as well as Delap would like GRoykeres but can't see that one happening in truth not sure there are a lot of great forwards out there.
May be proved wrong but Delap is the type of nos 9 I like brave and physical.
3.) 29 May 2025 12:23:43
Seymns. We have Guiu and then apparently the lad from Strasbourg coming next season. I think Delap will be enough for this season.!
25 May 2025 19:15:11
Hve calmed down now think this team is growing quickly.
MOM for me a toss up between Tosin and Colwill,
A young side that is learning the dark arts .
Enzo F Cacaido and Cucurella in particular.
Wednesday a big game so the team can get used to winning trophies onwards and upwards.
1.) 26 May 2025 08:22:58
I agree that Tosin and Colwill were superb today and I think that partnership has worked really well in the last few games. We finished the season really strongly with some defensive displays showing maturity from this young team. Sanchez in goal has also been very good and that is now 5 or 6 clean sheets since he was dropped in February. We finished the season beating Fulham, Liverpool, Man U and Forest and only dropping points against Newcastle thanks to 10 men. The gaffer did well.
2.) 26 May 2025 21:52:13
RBD, I have a couple of mates who are away ST holders and they were telling me that those fantastic travelling supporters are beginning to warm to Sanchez.
25 May 2025 18:12:48
Showed some good steel for a young side well deserved 4th place.
13 Apr 2025 14:46:08
Not watching the match if the result stays the same 0-2 at time of post we will not make top 5 Ipswich doing the double over us is not very good,
1.) 13 Apr 2025 17:40:52
It is indicative of where we are as a team seymns. I don't think we have a very good team unfortunately. We have to be perfect from here on out to salvage the champions league this season, and while I'll support and back them, I think are odds are very slim. Next season, let's hope we improve.
09 Mar 2025 16:34:30
Maybe my previous post of Kepa being our best Keeeper was because I have seen him play for a while poor mistake for the Spurs pen.
1.) 09 Mar 2025 18:50:29
He's the best of a bad bunch mate.
We have £130 million worth of goalkeepers. It really is ridiculous. Petrovic had a good season last year and the idea was to ship him. How they're still in jobs is miraculous.
2.) 09 Mar 2025 20:20:18
I have no idea if Petrovic, Pinder or Jörgensen will be top keepers.
I live in hope for Costa but in my opinion it ain’t going to happen!
3.) 09 Mar 2025 21:50:16
Sorry, I miss typed. I don't think they're all bad keepers but I don't think they're fantastic, any of them. All of them are pretty flawed. I genuinely think we should have just kept kepa these last couple years if we weren't going to actually upgrade the position.
It still annoys me we spent 25m +5m add ons for sanzhez. Literally no one thought it would work out as Brighton's third choice and predictably, it hasn't.
4.) 10 Mar 2025 01:41:08
I honestly didn’t know a thing about Sanchez but I normally give players a long period of time before I make my mind up.
A minority of supporters within the ground booing when his name was called out will never sit well with me!
5.) 10 Mar 2025 09:57:33
Tom
What I don't get for the life of me is that Sanchez had the first half of the season and so far most of the second to constantly make error after error yet Jorgi has just had a few games.
It is obvious that Maresca did nor want to dtop Sanchez but just provided lip service for a few games.
For this alone Maresca is mot the coachvwe meed to move us forward.
6.) 10 Mar 2025 10:32:15
I was surprised to see Sanchez between the sticks against Leicester but we kept a clean sheet.
I have no idea why Jörgensen didn’t play. I also don’t see why picking Sanchez is a reason for EM to be sacked.
7.) 10 Mar 2025 12:43:50
I agree Tom booing the team at the stadium is disgusting.
8.) 10 Mar 2025 13:29:40
Standard, just to clarify and I’m sure this is just a me thing but I’m not sure I have much of a problem when with booing “the team” at the end of a match if a performance warrants it.
I do have a problem when booing is directed at individuals at any time on match days or at the team at half time.
9.) 10 Mar 2025 14:42:30
Bill agree with you re Sanchez should still be Jorgenson, don't think we will find out who Maresca thinks is no 1 until the Arsenal game.
Sanchez very nearly cost us a goal just gives me no confidence.
10.) 11 Mar 2025 21:54:11
Agree tom. No matter the ability as long as there's efforts I would never boo a player. Or abuse them on there social media. Both are ridiculous imo but I really think criticism on forums Is okay lol.
09 Apr 2025 23:30:03
I rate Delap and can easily see a partnership with Jackson working well but I expect a few teams will be in for him.
15 Feb 2025 13:24:49
TomB the Bates harding era was strange who knows what would have happened if Harding hadn't been killed,

Obviously still want us to do well.
10 Feb 2025 14:46:25
The odd normal half reliable sources have also picked this up, no idea if it is true.
But it is undeniably strange that it is taking so long, I did read an article that if is B sample was negative and the A sample was positive due to cross contamination in the testing this would open a huge can of worms and invalidate previous tests no idea if this is true
Apparently B samples that are negative are in the 3-5% range
Also strange that the story has gone so quiet.
17 Jun 2025 19:06:27
CFC blue blood that is exactly how I see Noni as well don't hate him but a skilful selfish player whose not a team player in my eyes he is a sell prefer Mudryk if we ever see him again.
17 Jun 2025 05:14:45
Doesn't matter what they cost and Neto is a top player.
16 Jun 2025 22:27:36
First impressions of Delap an intelligent footballer with bundles of energy has a physically about him that we have been lacking recently.
06 Jun 2025 15:49:26
Jimbo agree with your post although I think Colwill will be top class very soon
Tom B Trevor is better than average but I don't see him in a Premier League winning defence if every one is fit Fofana and Colwill would be my starting CB's.
03 Jun 2025 14:18:19
I think we didn't pay a loan fee and Utd paid half his wages so the £5 m is like a loan fee in reverse
On the utd pages someone said he is on £300,000 a week at that wage you get to £5M In 16-17 weeks.
