All players should be on pay as you play it would change the sport for the better.

Basic wage all players get the same if you don't play if you do play you can get the mad money

Hi Rudy

No other club quantifies investment based on future wages and costs down the line. Everyone else quantifies investment based on the fee paid to get the player.

Why? Well there's a pretty good chance that we will flog anyone who does ok, which will probably cover the outlay. 

Cloud cuckoo land stuff if anyone believes that we've committed to a £2.5 million spend on the two foreign signings we've made. Of course the only people it suits to spread such a grossly exaggerated figure is the Indians and their henchmen.

Is £5k a week for these signings something to be happy or boastful of? It's a lot to us yes, but to a Championship club that finished 7th last year that doesn't sound competitive or ambitious to me. It screams League One finances.

Of course they do It's call running a business and the club is insolvent if it wasn't for the owners hate them or l9ve them and your correct we do run on league one finances that much is clear.

What do you actually think will happen if they sold us the next owner will come in and put 100mill into the team no they will look straight at the P and L and will most likely put a salary cap in and sell our best value players and highest earners because they will also not be willing to sustain a 20mill loss per year

But none of the money will go towards a replacements.So the squad will be weaker 

Why would we as fans want our experienced players sold just so the owners have to send less money over?

We will never be sustainable as a championship club, just dreams by Pasha and Gestede.

Sell Travis,Tronstad and Brittain and replace them from the low budget set by the owners with cheap foreign players then the only place this club is going is league one

As a fan, it would only make sense to want us to cash in on the players with only 12 months left if the incoming fees where going to be used on replacements. Should we flog Hyam aswell because he only has a year left aswell?

 

 

Were are you getting no investment in the team do you think the 2 players we have signed are interns on no wages.

I'm not In the know but from reports I've seen we've spent 2.5mil on them and again I'm guessing they will be on 5k a week could be more in fairnes if any one else knows the wages correct me this would be around 1.5mil in wages over 3 years so that's an investment of 3-4 million on the squad already this window

But according to Gestede any money brought in through selling players won't be added to the budget.

He said the budget is set in the summer and it doesn't increase if we bring in money through sales 

At a normal run Club then yeah selling the players with only a year left on their deals and using the money received to replace them would be the sensible thing to do .But here the money received just means venkys are asked to send over less money to pay the bills 

That's the point we have owners who are only willing to sustain the club keep the lights on so the club needs to make its own money salary cap will help but player sales are vital to be self sustainable and hopefully profitable so we don't have to rely on the owners. This will only work if we have the balls to sell these players at a time and age we're we can get the best value,

We cant keep losing players for free it's pointless holding on to them for another season in the hopes we get top six. 

Probably be killed for saying this but in my opinion both trav and tron sould be sold as they will most likely not get the salary they are looking for and it's the last chance for us to make money from selling them as they will go for free. No point keeping them this season as the odds are we will not get promoted with them. I would sell and take a punt on a cheaper younger replacement and hope the potential turns into a quality player in a few years.

The problem with that is it needs highly competent people running the club and identifying players to pull this off.

Whilst you are waiting these "few years" for your academy players and cheap prospects to be 'built up', you need to not be shit enough to go down.

If we sold Brittain, Travis and let Dolan and Baath leave, and replaced them with people who needed a 'few years' then we would be worse as a team and probably go down.

You have to start somewhere and if were honest we are a lower end of the championship team who has over acheived because of recruitment being decent also the players you are stating fit the model of sorts Brittain cheap sell high, travis academy sell high, dolan free should have been sold last summer or this for a fee, baath free so maybe it has begun?. It's always going to be a risk this model but with ffp we have no choice.

We can't be afraid to sell keep the lights on and then recruit hopefully if we are lucky with the players we get in they will be better than for example travis and next season we will be saying travis who?

Its about time the club start doing this right get travis out the door as soon as possible for the best price now. Buy cheap prospects build up if possible over a few years as well as academy players sell in prime or for a good price rinse and repeat this is the club we are now

If Britton doesn't sign in the coming weeks be cause of wages sell him if offers are good most people on here giving out that we lose players for free when contracts are run down. If he's sold in the summer because he hasn't signed a new deal the club have done exactly what we've been wanting them to do for years 

Knowing these were odds on to get Wayne Rooney ffs

Sky reporting he's in advanced talks and his buyout clause is less than expected 

Panic over I've just sold waggot a denis the menace outfit for the reveal ah shit wait the payment didn't go through last minute.

Jesus that's all we need don't think the rovers faithful could take another last minute f up 

Am I right in saying if both players are coming for medicals then the finances have been agreed?

My LFC supporting friend says he’s a ‘cool players’. A lot of energy, unafraid and takes players on… the type of player that makes things happen. And everyone who comes through the LFC academy these days are tactically sound and hard-working. Would walk straight into our team. 
 

 

If he's on the Liverpool bench he most likely as good or better than any players we have up top as none of our attackers would make the Liverpool bench this is true but in his appearance he has been seen in he has the likes of Arnold and Salah feeding him the ball when he comes here that will be dolan and hedges a much more difficult prospect for the young man.

I'll admit I've not seen much of young Danns - what type of striker is he?

Nobody has he has 9 appearance and 1 start I think was against psv. My bird follows Liverpool so I watch nearly all of there games and all I can say about the kid is his hair is cool.

We should put a bid in for Semir Telalovic

9 goals in 15 appearances in the bundesliga 2 

Ronaldo will be lucky enough tonight to play on the same pitch as our sammie. Good luck tonight our irish rover cant wait to see what you can do against quality oposition
