What do you expect them to say?To specify the amount we have to spend? Clear we have some money when we have agreed a fee for a player

You are entitled to your opinion,I could have disagreed with it more politely though so apologies for that. I will make my opinion clear though, I don't expect millions to be spent with the noises coming out of the club but I do believe we do have a budget and our transfer activity will be funded by the owners not a small sponsorship deal with Totally wicked. And I will make clear I am not defending Venkys I rue the day they bought the club and the management of our great club has been nothing short of scandalous. In Mowbray's time at the club he hasn't had to sell one player discounting Raya who wanted to leave and who the manager didn't particularly rate and he has had plenty of money to spend in that time which was funded by our owners not through players sales or sponsorship deals Would also like to ask have you proof or a source for your opinion on the overdraft with Bank of India?

He had a release Clause if Wigan got relegated.Fulham paying him 50k a week

Derby did it with Rooney didn't they

We would have been lucky to get 50k for Platt. I can't be assed trawling through posts to find it, but you did more than once say that Venkys come out with a statement about the budget every season. And who have we sold in the last 3 years to fund Gallagher, Brereton, Armstrong, Holtby (signing on fee), Davenport,Tosin(loan fee),Walton(loan fee), Johnson (signing on fee)? You are talking nonsense

The summer we signed Brereton we had the same stories about the manager having no money to spend and we would have to let players go to bring others in . I don't expect that level of spending but it's clear that we do have a little money to spend if we have agreed a fee of 500k.

You really are clutching at straws. For the past week Sharpe and numerous others have said the manager has his budget and has bids in for players. Now the budget could be tiny nevertheless we have a transfer budget.Venkys don't make a statement every year telling the public how much our budget is, and would be ridiculous if they did. And now you claim our budget is coming from the sponsorship by totally wicked and the transfer fee for Matty Platt.It is ridiculous

A goalkeeper and our foreign scouting system being used.. wow Looks a good deal but will save my celebration for when he signs on the dotted line

It was January 2019 West Brom were in for Dack,I don't have any inside info but sky reported it strongly.

Wouldn't be surprised to see sky choose this game as one of their live matches on the opening weekend

Sky sports reported we turned down bids from West Brom for Dack the January before last? I think Venkys are crap owners but you can't tell me that we haven't had any enquiries or bids for our better players other than Lenihen and Raya in all the time Mowbray has been at the club? And on Raya didn't he publicly state he had told the club he wanted to move on prior to his departure?

If Monk wants him away from the squad they might give him a golden handshake to aid his departure. I know circumstances are different than last summer but Bradley Johnson must have been on a fair wedge at Derby ,he wouldn't have been on the same money here surely

Apparently we had a 1 million transfer budget in January but Mowbray decided not to spend it(according to Rich Sharpe anyway )

It was yesterday he said it,it's on his Twitter, he said we had bids in

No bid for Phillips that doesn't mean we haven't made any bids. Sharpe said yesterday, after his meeting with the club that we did have bids in . Fair enough it's most likely cheap deals but at least we must have a little money

What you on about? You said the club had said no bids had been made. They haven't said that, publicly anyway so your making stuff up

Where has the club denied having any bids in?Do you have a link or source for that?

Yes but at least he is very experienced and dependable at this level, I'd much rather have him for 12 months than some kid from a prem team being sent down to learn his trade

If Wigan could afford to sign him last year then why couldn't we?

The sun now saying that Marshall joining Derby picking up his 12k a week wages. We sit here with no goalkeeper and are waiting around to see if Downing will sign a new contract. I am a fan of Downing and think he was worth another year but only if we sorted out other priorities in the squad first. The offer to him should have been withdrawn if we can't afford the 12k a week it would have taken to sign an experienced goalkeeper in Marshall

Because he is a good goalkeeper, free and we are yet to sign a goalkeeper. Much prefer him than say Muric on loan or any of the other goalkeepers we been linked with

Nixon tweeting David Marshall a target for Derby, would love to see him here

Liverpool have had a positive covid test at their training camp

Rudy is only any good with crosses flying into the box, we don't play with any natural width, his hold up and link up play are very very poor. Martin has way more intelligence,of the 2 Martin for me all day long altho preferably neither

I asked Sharpe on twitter earlier today, no response
