And they have the £’s from Harry Soutter transfer, however, think only four of the team they put out last time are staying next season as they have loads on loan, so really need a rebuild Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their income must be about the same See my above posts. Mix of cutbacks and suspect practice that enables them to smooth the issues. Souttar, Collins profit all helps too, as do to a smaller level Bursik and then Collins sell-on. Their turnover last year was similar to ours yes. Suspect practice still needs investigation and or referral. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorleRed89 Posted May 9, 2023 Report Share Posted May 9, 2023 I am hoping the small parts of this thread i have read are true, our Joe is coming home. Him and Korey were responsible for one of my best memories as a city fan and he was always a nice bloke when I bumped into him. Hopefully he comes back. Can play in front of Pring as well and left wb if nige wanted to play cam left of a back 3. Makes sense if his money isnt too high. Just watched the goal again, goosebumps 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like being back properly home with friends and family is the main thing he wants. His parents have been going over to Nice fairly regularly by all accounts. If I had a son living in Nice I suspect I’d be a regular visitor too! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure, he's not the best defender, more of a wing back. Unless we were going to push him further up the pitch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have left us being better going forward then sitting back but even if he hasn’t cracked into the Fulham first team he’s been there for nearly 5 years. He definitely would have improved in certain aspects of his game. Imo he’s the type of player that play-off chasing teams need. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozo Posted May 12, 2023 Report Share Posted May 12, 2023 I'm buzzing about the prospect of this. Announcing Joey would be a nice bookend to the season. He's not just another Academy Bristolian, he'd be a conqueror returning to his homeland and a shining example to the young talent in our squad, showing that the next level can be achieved with the right attitude. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidercity1987 Posted May 12, 2023 Report Share Posted May 12, 2023 Wonder why it didn't really work out for him at Fulham / Nice? Play off goals aside was he ever really first choice for them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s missed a fair chunk of the season injured at Nice, seems to be available again now, but doubt it was ever likely to be a permanent move anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFCGav Posted May 12, 2023 Report Share Posted May 12, 2023 Club posting on the hour but that has to be coincidence. Joe has games left for Nice, McRorie for Aberdeen, O'Brien for Molenbeek. So Currie or nothing (much like my attitude to dinner on a Saturday). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play off goals aside was he ever really first choice for them? No but look at the standard of player he was competing against. No disgrace in that. We'd be signing a proven, top end Championship player if he returns. How many of those have we got? Pearson has said repeatedly he's only interested in signing players who improve us. I'd say this signing would do just that. Certainly not a stockpiling for the sake of it/clubs in the bag type of signing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
