Re: What are Pace & The Board thinking now?
We can't use Chris Wood's transfer as a yardstick. Newcastle clearly only bought him to try and dent our chances of survival. Yes we can He was shocking during his final half season here, we all know it Yet we made a profit on him and it ended up being a good sale because he’s still shocking now

Re: What are Pace & The Board thinking now?
I get what you're saying and it's still far too early to be writing any of these lads off, but the one issue I think we might have is that we paid a very high price for a lot of these players, and that inevitably comes with more risk attached if they don't work out. Koleosho is obviously the except...

Re: What are Pace & The Board thinking now?
When we went down last we probably owed on Weghorst and Cornet and sold players for a decent return.
