Can understand if Gyokeres went to a premier league club, but If the reports are correct and Gyokeres maybe on his way to Middleborough what is our club doing ? if he goes what will this show the fans? why cannot we match Middleborough wages to keep him? particularly as both clubs are a similar size but our owner is reportedly worth 10 times more than the Middleborough owner if you believe the figures

Joy Seppala net worth 2.5 billion v Steve Gibson net worth 270 million
CBS Ground capacity 32,609 v Middleborough fc 34,742
CCFC average attendance 19,541 Middleborough 21,825

Seppalla is worth nowhere near that

Middlesbrough owners are supporters, dreaming the dream.
Our Owners are purely investors who actually gave up investing many years ago.
Middlesbrough lost £65 million over the last two years, they can’t keep doing that can they ?
Sideways move for Vik, so I doubt he will want to go there in reality.

Gibson has ploughed about £250 million in over the years and has pledged more

I’m not sure it would be, Middlesbrough have ambition and intention to be a Premier League club again (hence this link). You can’t really say the same for us

Are we really getting upset about totally unsubstantiated rumours which in all likelyhood are invented by attention seekers?

The management , the players and the fans all want to be Premier league. The owners only want to balance the books. If all clubs played by those rules it would be great……but sadly they don’t .

The suggestion is Gibson will provide a substantial budget this season to get promoted

Can he do that what’s the rules now on ffp in the EFL, like what’s been pointed out above Middlesbrough financial income must be similar to ours or can owners with deep pockets still shovel money in regardless of income.

I'd be amazed if he went to Middlesbrough.
If he ends up there, then you'd have serious questions to ask about CCFC not to mention his own ambition.

Don't believe it, but if he seriously is considering an offer from Middlesbrough then the football world's opinion of him is a lot lower than ours, if that's his only option

If they are willing to give us what we want for the player , then off he goes as far as I'm concerned, thats solid business .. the real issue is if the money goes back into the playing side .

They have signed Rhodes (from Blackburn) and Assombalonga (from Forest) as a Championship club. It wouldn’t be that surprising, a reality check is needed

They've certainly pissed a lot of money away on getting nowhere 😉
