We will pay Max 800k for a GK is my guess - the sum that was originally allocated for Wahlstedt

I want him to stay to defend corners 😉

Companies fail regularly - investments prove to be unwise and new markets/branches/ventures are ended with associated losses being reported somewhere in the accounts/balance sheets. It is not uncommon for a business to incur additional costs short term to end their involvement in a business/market/country. In short to have been wrong/stupid/misguided is rarely a crime but lying about it usually is as it tends to indicate something has/is not entirely pukka…

We do have form for paying agents more than most though…

I am guessing that O’Riordan (spelling??) has failed to impress in preseason - so the above question becomes very relevant

How much money is needed to fund us until January? That is the initial fee for SS (I’m guessing 5m) with addons totaling 3m and a sell on (pointless but sounds good) meaning it will be announced as an undisclosed transfer “believed to be totaling over 10m…

Why not - we have one for relegation with made up results 🤔😉🤣 Sure there will be some crossover - I like that this thread is liberal in terms of “the subject” but sometimes it would be nice just to read about players we are linked to and their merits/drawbacks without diverging into dunking biscuits and teacakes (discussions which I also enjoy for the record)

We are on a new journey/project/chapter/era/model… U21 is the future - low wages/costs, guaranteed comp/fees and little pressure on actual results/achievements

Or simply allow discussion on players linked. Too high wages is a fair discussion alongside their perceived ability - why we have no money and who amongst the shadows is controlling things is not. Mods decision final and much less leeway for tangents in that thread.

Any update on Leonard? Bit concerning that he wasn’t among the subs or is it known that he will miss the start of the season?

Was thinking the same thing. Wonder what the ”record” actually refers to as there is no way in hell that they shifted more shirts today than on all previous release days… Or is it record numbers for a day in this financial period 🥳🤡

How much does spellcheck cost…?

I think it is likely that we were due to pay the next installment of his fee… Strongly suspect that the buying club merely took on our obligations as there is no way in hell we got the reported fee for him

Ironically that is probably how Brum saw it - getting rid is easy but replacing with an upgrade is tougher when the decision makers are tools

Each time we have sold/lost our top scorer then a “big money” signing has come good the following season (Armstrong, Brereton, Sammie S) Given our recent lack of spending that should mean Gallagher comes good and bags 25 goals next season 🤔🫣🤣

A mention for Kyle “Derek the builder” McFadz who has been solid today Eating my words

Great - the fuck ugly losers kit and Derek the builder at center half… What can possibly go wrong?🫢🫣

Expecting a full house on my bullshit bingo card if we stay up regardless of if we lose today Togetherness, build together, a solid platform, miraculous escape, senior players character and courage, young squad, fantastic achievement that lays the groundwork for a bright future after a summer on the grass… That said I expect roughly the same bs if we get relegated by 1 goal (my expectation)

Thanks. Pretty shabby to say the least but money talks. on the plus side - maybe some non league clubs will get an extra few attending at 3pm today

Maybe I missed the PM but why are 12:30 tomorrow?

I still expect us to be relegated on goal difference and by a solitary goal at that

If he was on 5k PW and had signed for less than a million he would be a decent signing/player given our ambition of lower mid championship. For 5m and 15k (or more) PW then we could do better. All told: if it is Telavovic or Gallagher then it is no longer a discussion… (although sometimes I wonder 😉)

Probably told not to play him as the deal is structured so that every appearance means that we have to send 50p and a tin of spam to Crewe…

So who decides the “preferred candidate”? Sounds very much like GB gives Waggot and Suhail a list with a few benefits/drawbacks and then they pick the cheapest or the one most likely to toe the line. I’M guessing this is GBs new remit in order to keep his job after inadvertently appointing someone with ambition, demands and standards/integrity/balls…

Is telalovic playing?
