Which one? I had a big year in my eye at the end of Toy Story 4!
Aye whist his cash cow’s still aliveCharlie boy was drinking with the fans on Saturday, he’s a lovely fella. So put your f***ing dummy back in.
It`s down to Ross to make of it what he will FFS. Get them playing in their correct positions in a disciplined way and show some attacking ambition!

They went to other teams, it’s a shite excuse in league one we are a massive pull, that excuse might wash in the premier league and maybe in the championship but in league one there’s no chance of that being the case unless it’s a situation like the kid who chose charlton ahead of us for family reasons. It’s purely down to recruitment just not being good enough. How many centre backs have we signed in the space of 14 months or so man, that’s down to bad recruitment something we seem to struggle at year in year out.No fucker wants to come here.
Look at the fuckers we attracted when we had to Hoy money at them.
We will have a decent season as we are better than most other teams.
And at the talking at the SoL before the friendly.That came out of Stewart Donald mouth during an interview and on (I believe) RR podcast.
I'm sure the wages we offer now are piss poor.They went to other teams, it’s a shite excuse in league one we are a massive pull, that excuse might wash in the premier league and maybe in the championship but in league one there’s no chance of that being the case unless it’s a situation like the kid who chose charlton ahead of us for family reasons.

We’d be able to match any wage offered by any other club in this league, I just think things arnt working somewhere in the recruitment phase.I'm sure the wages we offer now are piss poor.
Moving to the north east is not attractive whether we like it or not![]()
Same as for DE: invest money to take the club to the Championship and then sell out to a bigger player for a profit. Fairly simple. Buy it for £4 million, invest say £12 million in costs and infrastructure, get up to the Championship, stabilise in the Championship and then sell for £25 million , making £9 million if all goes well. Of course, things do not always go well, and you run the risk of spending more money on getting there, or maybe spending money and NOT getting there. That is the nature of investment - it's never a guaranteed one way street.
We are highly unlikely to attract an entirely non "financial" investor (I can only think of one proper OUFC fans who is really rich enough to do it as a passion project). Lenagan (a Liverpool fan) was sold the tale of the Championship by Merry; Eales (a Brum City fan) by Ashton. It's all the same thing. The arbitrage between what the club is worth in the bottom two leagues and the Championship is substantial enough to warrant taking the risk. We are fortunate that the metrics of modern football make League 1 clubs reasonably attractive. Get things right, and you can make a few bob, as DE has just done without even completing the task.
With the exception of Tiger's partners at Reading, most of these "financial investors" are also passionate about football. They have other things they can make money out of more easily. But they are fascinated and attracted by football and the challenge of getting it right. But the smart ones are increasingly wary of the total expenditure required. If the end game is selling for £25 million then you do not want to get yourself in the hole for £20 million with no guarantees. So the amount that you pay for the League 1 club is important because that is cash that is then not in the pot to get the whole project right. Buy for £7 million and invest £12 million and your ultimate risk/reward ration is starting to look pretty tight.
If Tiger does indeed have big bucks to spend on sorting us out, though - and doesn't care about a few million here or there - then clearly it is no concern of ours what he paid on the way in...
But it's been quoted for weeks that Kilmarnock wanted £3m. Putting a bid in of £750k would mean we weren't serious.Aye but that's football, the buying club offers one fee and the selling club another.
Can you not just give it a rest man ??
Every thread you post on you turn into a dig at Ross.
Donald certainly alluded to there been money to spend.
It's a question the chairman needs to answer marra. Has the impending sale meant our business has been restricted? Or has our over excitable owner said more than he should, again?Then why haven't we spend it ?
You wailing blurtTypical rubbish. I’m not even sure this yank stuff will happen. This transfer window has been a joke. We should have spent 3-5 mill to blast us way out of this shithole. Instead we’ll still be in this league next season.
