Genuine question; Do you think it’s acceptable that the biggest club outside the premier league should be happy finishing mid table and not having a go for promotion?
The first years parachute payments went towards the clubs massive black hole of money owed I think, along with the money from selling Pickford. Then Donald (Madrox really) came in and used the next year's parachute payments (~£25m IIRC) to pay Short to buy the club, then wrote off his debt to the club. Think Madrox would argue the money they used to run the club was them paying it back, but then when they sold they surely made some decent money. Very dodgy.
No. And I don't think they (ultimately KLD + Sartori) are happy with that. They are just going about it in a way that is more long term and sustainable.
Ipswich played us last season up here and had 4 CF in their match day squad. We have more goalkeepers than capable CFs. Unfortunately the bloke in charge doesn’t think we need CFs. It’s a gapping hole in our squad and until it’s sorted properly then we will be looking over our shoulders not ahead. Sorted properly - not some 19 year old kid who might be good in 3 or 4 years time.
We do spend just not on what we need. Add the rumoured 2 million to Rusyn on top of that. Recruitment is appalling and has been for at least 3 windows now.
Fair enough.
Do the transfer values come out in the accounts? If they do i will be amazed if we paid them fees tbh.
mundle highly rated so fair enough but a 4th choice defender from leeds its as bad as the grigg fee
I mostly agree, but I think the club are genuinely trying to sort the CF problem we have, and have had for a couple of seasons.
Exactly
Don't get involved hun. xx
I would have thought at 30yrs old he would be at his peak for at least two years.
I never once said Speakman was away to Lens...
ffs, you can't even get that correct. Useless...if you have the capability to read, i said, Lyon were interested in Speakman and have been since the end of the season.
