Why would overson know? And why if he did for some unknown reason tell some random guy at a pre season friendly

Someone is taking you for a ride mate

He spunked 200k of his own on the training ground, got access to BCD games during covid and is clearly friendly with Robins.
I'd imagine he's more ITK than most.

[SlowerThanPlatt]

He might even be lurking now…

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Where are these reports as nobody else but you on here has seen them?

It was on Twitter, so must be right.

Could well be.

As i say i couldn't give a fuck if its wrong, just relaying whats been said by someone who we all know is in at the club

You really think he would know the inner workings of a transfer deal and then go and blab it to some random person at a pre season friendly.... Ok

[long way home]

Next 10 days or so all will know the truth and who to place credit or blame on. The most important person will be MR his comments or actions will be interesting,

I mean,he could have thought this lads mates with that pillock saddlebrains, I'll spin him a yarn and watch his daft pal put it all over social media!

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Was it @Saddlebrains account again?

 

[Old Warwickshire lad]

This won't have come as a shock to Robins. He'll have been clearly aware of the situation.

Robins has stated he wants to keep him, but if he has to go he expects them to pay the market price.
Perhaps he is thinking,if they get an inflated price a little bit might come his way.
The less SISU take, the less he will get. Or like Pete said,he is getting nothing anyway.

 

[mr_monkey]

Which is exactly what your horseshit has done which I'm sure was the intention of you writing it

 

[clint van damme]

I never said that, you said why would he know, and I gave some reasons as to why he might be more ITK than most.

I'm distantly related to an ex SPL player and knew the details of his transfer fees and contracts and I wasnt shy about spilling the beans!

 

[Skyblue_CP]

The bed wetting is assuming the worst at every turn

Frankly your defence of Sisu in every situation and criticism of supporters as “bedwetters” for pointing out that we realistically won’t get any reinvestment from a potential 10m sale is just. Weird.

 

[Saddlebrains]

Exactly what happened how did you know?

 

[Saddlebrains]

Nope.

I had heard it was 10 million or get fucked

Which seems to be the accepted trail of thought.

Thought it was interesting that someone apparently well connected said otherwise

 

[clint van damme]

And do you know what, abit of pre season gossip, no matter how spurious, Is all part of the fun as far as im concerned.

 

[usskyblue]

It's taken us years to get back to where we were when they took over, (and arguably in aslightly better position).

Joy has stuck her head above the parapet and declared her love for all things Sky Blue and we've managed to unearth a few gems thanks to the club at last having some structure and some semblance of a functioning recruitment department.

I, and I I think others, thought there was a slight chance they might try and support Robins in getting us tha bit extra required for a play off push given the potential rewards. After all, you say you're acutely aware ofwhatare owners are, well arent hedge funds aggressive speculators, (not that anyones calling for them to go mad)?

When we're this close I can't believe people are willing to accept going backwards.

I think we’re actually on the same page. However, a few platitudes from Joy is hardly progress as far as actual investment, it’s the definition of words, not actions. You’re right no one is willing to go backwards but what has actually changed other than MR and V excelling and hiding the deficiencies and pushing us forward? Not much.. bits of backing here and there perhaps? So we’re right back to the word; expectations. We all should expect more but given who calls the shots? Don’t expect it.

 

[procdoc]

We won’t get told the fee when it does happen anyway, it’ll be undisclosed

 

[Skyblue_CP]

Nope.

Realistically it doesn’t matter what the fee is, Robins will get the wages as per SBB.

 

[M&B Stand]

The less SISU take, the less he will get. Or like Pete said,he is getting nothing anyway.

Surely if we’re not desperate to sell he’d cost above market value???
He’s on another level ability wise compared to the rest of the squad, this is a massive season for him, if he adds goals to his all round play his value doubles.

It's just frustrating when you see how close we are.
A couple of decent additions in January and we might have gone up, I think most people are in Broad agreementwith that.
I'd never advocate spanking tens of millions we don't have but just that little extra push........

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Pete has regular meetings with Boddy - maybe he knows more than us mere mortals

I get it but we have to say fuckem and move on. We can only rely on MR and Viveash… and donate our left nuts if it’ll means they’ll stick around.

Every lol!!!!’

 

[Old Warwickshire lad]

Some not all but that doesn’t mean we don’t deserve a bit

You call people bedwetters for expecting SISU to reinvest some of the profit from sales, back into the team.
Then you say you hope we might see a bit.Make your mind up Pete.
Your friends at SISU either invest in the team or don’t. Which is it.
ps. I am 68 level headed and pretty well educated. I never panic and take exception to being called a bedwetter, especially when I can’t see the person saying it.

 

[Skyblue_CP]

Good clever response mate. You got me good.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

I don’t know any more than any of you about transfers and wages. I may sometimes get things confirmed when they are about to be confirmed and I wouldn’t expect anything else.

Sorry I take back the bed wetter comment! It was unhelpful. I didn’t use the term over the lack of funds for transfer fees but everything.
So we have
They’ll all be sold
One will definitely go
It will be for a low fee
Boddy is pimping them
Robins has already confirmed he doesn’t think he’ll get money for transfer fees but I’m hoping he’s just keeping his cards close

Do you see what I mean? And sorry too!

The alternative could be

We’ve not sold anyone and added three players
If anyone leaves we will get a figure above blah blah blah

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Well I was more hinting at the great SISU plan

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Well I was more hinting at the great SISU plan

The master plan is to be the bank of last resort add interest on any loans to secure their investment so when the club is sold they can maximise the fee.

Anythihg else is utterly dependent on what the club can do for themselves. Ie player transactions

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Good clever response mate. You got me good.

I don’t support sisu I support ccfc. I don’t defend them over everything but I do try to be balanced

sorry Pete I didn’t really take exception. I am lying on me sun bed with nowt else to do.
I thinks the gist of all this is,we ALL accept we area selling club ( they all are ) .
But I think realistically the owners should be putting a % of profit from player sales, back into the team.
On many occasions this just doesn’t seem the case.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

While I've got no idea what is or isn't accurate, it appears Saddle has heard from one source the price is £10m while another supposedly heard it's £6m and the argument is over it being paid up front or in installments.

I'm wondering if it's possible they could both be accurate to a degree and the overall fee is more like £10m but the payment up front we're looking for is £6m?

Or it could be me having wishful thinking because I think £6m is far too low.

Or it could just all be bollocks.

To be fair, you’re 68, I’m 62. So bed-wetting can’t be ruled out at this stage of our lives

Believe me every year now is down hill. Just took me 10 minutes to climb out the pool.
