Jewell to Speak to West Ham About Dyer Extension

Blues boss Paul Jewell says he will speak to West Ham regarding Kieron Dyer extending his loan at Portman Road for a second month. Dyer has made one start and two sub appearances since returning to his home-town club a month ago.

Jewell said: "It’s his last game on Saturday, but I’ll speak to West Ham and see what’s what. I’ve spoken to Kieron and I think he’s enjoyed it here.

"He’s not had a lot of game-time, but he’s enjoyed it. He’s trained all week and I’ll speak with West Ham. If I could possibly keep him we’d look at it.”

Dyer, who is in the squad for today’s home game against Crystal Palace, picked up a minor thigh injury in training and missed the Scunthorpe match but Jewell doesn’t appear overly concerned about the problem: "We knew his injury record before and he’s missed one game since he’s been here and then we had a two-week break and he got rid of the injury over that.

"I had a chat with him in the week, he’s enjoyed his time here. He’s getting fitter as each day goes by and I think he’s enjoyed it here, so I’ll speak to West Ham.”

Annual accounts show that the club will have to sell players if we don't go up
The club released the annual accounts for the 2022/3 season this week, and despite the headline figure of an overall loss of £33.7 million, we’re not in danger of any points deduction for now. But the accumulated losses mean that player sales will be inevitable in the summer if we remain in the Championship.
