Fairly sure in the first set of accounts that covered that period there was a reference to a £5million payment, so corresponding with a down payment - from memory there was a collective feeling of resignation on here, that yes, we really will be spending in the region of £7million.

How much then? Thought we’d made a down payment of £5/5.2 million with more instalments to come? Even if it was just the £5million-ish with the rest incentive based, that’s not ‘nowhere near’ and still a hell of a poor deal.

What’s the difference between clarity and full clarity, chaddy?

Now seems to have redeemed himself from ‘shite hole’ status... https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/danny-graham-signed.1527437/

You are talking perfectly rationally there J*B but football doesn’t work that way. Managers would be hounded out of a job even though fans are the first to say ‘just play the kids, even if we lose a few games’, ‘better than all these journeyman’ ‘at least they play for the shirt’ etc etc . 21st in the league and that’s all soon forgotten - see Woodgate. Football fans are nothing if not bipolar and raging hypocrites.

Thought we weren’t going to panic this year?

Think some folk still think it’s 1996 when ‘The Entertainers’ ( ? ) were actually relevant...

You are quite right chadster, thats definitely not something that happens here.

So what would be a ‘proper chance’? 5, 10 games? It’s his third season, we need to see him making a contribution to the side, because the team and results must come first.

Is the Nations League worth the bother, really? Do fans actually care? I can just about summon up the enthusiasm for major tournaments, never mind this convoluted competition. Just play qualifiers, friendlies/Le Tournoi style mini tournaments in the build up to Euros/World Cups and leave it at that.

Wilson, so hopefully King, Brooks to follow? I’ll be following their forum’s transfer thread this week instead... least there’ll be some actual movement!

Who on earth at the club has come up with the ridiculous notion that you only ever wear our fantastic, unique halved home shirt at Ewood, whilst when it’s time to go th’Asda you’d be straight into your wardrobe for whatever that year’s throwaway away shirt is?

‘Good workout on an amazing pitch and amazing stadium’. Glad of your support in the brfcs campaign to highlight the shit tip that is Ewood, Tone!

Pretty much every club in the Championship had some blue or white on their kit last season. Did Rovers used to wear the away kits 20 times a season? Of course not. However, Rovers and most other clubs maximise away kit use these days - I.e you’ll see a team with a red home kit wearing their say, black away shirt at a club wearing blue. Honestly Chaddy ?‍♂️ I’m stopping now as it’s too daft for words this conversation.

It’s not because of clashes, it’s to boost revenue by wearing away shirts as often as possible. We’ve been wearing blue and white at Stoke for a hundred years! The naivety hurts my head

Course we can, always did in the past, we won’t because club’s want to maximise use of away shirts

We don’t ‘maximise revenue‘ as the third kit normally goes out of stock after a few weeks...

On Radio Lancs you get more sense out of Andy Bayes when it comes to the actual game than the supposed ‘expert’ Gally.

It’s starting, two brought in on ‘short term contracts’ https://www.wigantoday.net/sport/football/wigan-athletic-complete-friday-signings-hat-trick-2962152

£275 to £350 at Bolton

The proof will be in the pudding. You see no issues, Facebook sees no issues. So presumably we’ll be selling plenty, certainly outselling a local fourth division outfit that are at 7k already. If we don’t get close, why Unsall?

Ours won’t be a million miles away - the JW Upper will be around £500, you’d imagine considering it was £450 last season...

Every chance 4th division Bolton will end up selling 8k or so. Anyone think that’s what our top half of the Championship club will get to? ‘If not, why not?’ Should surely be the question being asked of and by Waggott - but it won’t, and we’ll carry on atrophying.

No not you, mhead posted the exact same post about Liverpool/Bolton yesterday...

Didn’t we answer this yesterday?
