And now Davidson as well. Really positive.

Yes there’s still a bit of back office stuff that’s not quite up to full speed yet but if I recall last season the replica shirts didn’t even arrive until after the season started and the issue of sponsors was a complete mystery. If someone told me that the club contacted Brewdog and said, in terms, we’re going to look like mugs with no sponsor so you can stay our front of shirt sponsor for a nominal sum, I’d believe them. Then, of course, there was the fact we didn’t even have a full squad. Any way it’s dressed up things are very much on the up. If I had to guess I assume pre season begins very soon so they want to announce players. The new trading facilities and shirts will be next in the announcements. 

Lewis Bienek is signed up for 2026 too, which is good news.

Great news. Easily one of the best in this league.

Blimey, I had to blink a few times reading that list because it feels like someone has accidentally switched us from the usual Broncos soap opera to an Avengers assemble moment. Wallis arriving was enough to make me sit up, then Voro, Lovell, Kapinias, Croft, Walker, Davidson, Mathias, Bienek, Bitungane and Luke Smith all piling in like it is some sort of pre Christmas flash sale on quality players. I genuinely cannot remember a more explosive start to a squad build. It is like waking up one morning and finding the club has been replaced by the version we always moaned we never got.


The optimism is real. You can almost feel this group being shaped into something that will run through teams rather than just hanging in there. If these lads hit the ground anywhere near their peak then there is every chance we stop being the plucky underdog and start being the side that dishes out the hidings. Quite a refreshing change from the usual emotional rollercoaster.


And now we have hints of land and training ground owned moves floating about as well which, honestly, feels borderline surreal after the last decade. It is the sort of rumour you normally file under things that would be nice but will never happen. Yet here we are in 2025 with ownership that seems to be ticking off impossible things before breakfast for 2026.


I am absolutely buzzing to see the fixtures drop now. For once it feels like we can circle dates with excitement rather than dread. If this lot gel we could be watching one of the strongest Championship sides EVER. Roll on the season because I am struggling not to refresh the news feed every five minutes.
