He hasn't said that at all. Christ your agenda against Doug is all-consuming isn't it?? £3.5 million on Simms, more than a million quid for Sakamoto. Clearly more players coming in, club infrastructure being upgraded massively. More season tickets sold than ever before and all of this off the back of a run to the playoff final. What more do you want??

Not really i still find time to wank

Top Player and deserved this move. His development in just 2 and half years was just incredible!

 

[Ccfcisparks]

That late goal against Wigan where he just powered past their defence is probably my favourite

Yep. Great goal. Couldn’t believe it when watching.

 

[SBAndy]

Its all well and good saying il pay for the Ryton renovations

If he then proceeds to but that money back in his pocket from the Vik sale I don't think that's a good look?

You won’t know until accounts are out in Feb ‘25 so I wouldn’t worry too much about it.

 

[Saddlebrains]

How do you know he will though? He has talked about renovating ryton as a whole and adding facilities. How would you expect those to be paid for?

He shouldn't come out and say he's funding it all then should he?

That's my issue

Not the money being used, its sensible, its needed of course some should go on off the field stuff

He says stuff that contradicts what he's said before e.g family zone, infrastructure from his own pocket or backtracks on it, eg Season Tickets, box prices

Unless what he's saying is true or can be stuck to shouldn't he just shut up? that's what everyone said about the previous incumbents no?

 

[Skyblue_CP]

All the best to him, hope he smashes it over there. I’ll defo be keeping an eye out.

 

[Martin180]

Is it just Ryton though ?
That's the top and tail of infrastructure?

 

[Speedie's Head]

Is it massively controversial to say his own back pocket?

I’m not convinced he should, just posing the question

He's clearly telling the fans not to expect too much in the way of signings from the proceeds.

 

[Nick]

That video is a nice touch. You can't blame him or the club for it.

Did anyone expect 3.5m on Simms?

 

[SHUNT31]

No

But don't publicly claim all the work being done at Ryton and new pitch etc is all coming out of his pocket and then say the vik money is going towards it in the statement

Contradicting himself

Fucking hell, you are by far the most negative person on this forum, by some distance.

He is stating that deliberately so it can’t be used against them in future negotiations.

Just stop the constant negativity around the ownership of the club. We are a million miles better off than we have been in the past 20 plus years. Enjoy the ride.

 

[Nick]

The usual people whining? Shock.

 

[Matt smith]

Did anyone expect 3.5m on Simms?

Well when we’re getting 20 million for vik, yes I did

think it’s fair to spend 20% of the sale on a replacement

 

[Martin180]

Well when we’re getting 20 million for vik, yes I did

 

[SHUNT31]

Yeah of course

infrastructure will be paid for by myself

vik sale will fund these extensive projects

Can Saddles cock get any further down your throat?

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

£17m upfront free with 15% sell on it seems

 

[Samo]

Well when we’re getting 20 million for vik, yes I did

I'm not sure I did Matt

 

[1ccfc]

The money from Vik will be used to secure the clubs future. The sale of Josh Reid will be put back into transfers and wages after the deduction of a glass door.

 

[Grendel]

Support, not fund. As it should, this is the most money the club has had to play with and it should be used to develop the long term future of the club.

Not if the club doesn't own the actual physical infrastructure - also King has himself said we should be in the top 6 3 seasons in the next 5

 

[Matt smith]

What? What’s wrong with expecting a 3/4 million pound signing to replace one who’s gone for 20??

 

[Evo1883]

£17m upfront free with 15% sell on it seems

Fantastic really

 

[Martin180]

What? What’s wrong with expecting a 3/4 million pound signing to replace one who’s gone for 20??

That wasn't the question

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Who won @SBT @Earlsdon_Skyblue1?

 

[Matt smith]

That wasn't the question

I didn’t actually expect Simms to sign Martin, I was referring to the 3.5 million we spent on him

Is it negative? I'm pointing out a contradiction on what he said previously you sausage

If this was SISU and the same was said you'd all be up in arms banging on about Joys new handbag

Its right some Vik money should be used on infrastructure, just don't twerk for the fans claiming you're paying for Ryton renovations and new CBS pitch and then when the Vik money comes in claim that's going towards it

I'm not saying its a bad thing, I'm saying he needs to stop spouting things then contradicting or going back on it

 

[Martin180]

Exactly .

Hes got a way to go to beat how far I could get it down your Mr's tbh but il try

Perhaps he should've known how much we'd sell Vik for in July when he made them statements early on in the year ?

 

[djr8369]

No

But don't publicly claim all the work being done at Ryton and new pitch etc is all coming out of his pocket and then say the vik money is going towards it in the statement

Contradicting himself

To be fair he could have paid for the urgent ones (pitch etc) but there be talking about future stuff or things were not aware of yet.

 

[usskyblue]

Last year, fucked pitch ~ Fucking angry

This year, brand new pitch ~ Yeah but who fucking paid for it?

 

[Saddlebrains]

To be fair he could have paid for the urgent ones (pitch etc) but there be talking about future stuff or things were not aware of yet.

If so then that would be fair enough

Ok that’s fair enough.

But it’s common knowledge that when you receive big money for a player, as soon as you get the negotiating with another club for a new player, the price is inflated. He is protecting against that imo.

I just think you can come across as anti Doug, which if I am honest is astonishing considering what we’ve put up with for years.

 

[CCFCSteve]

I hope Doug is just trying to bluff out over clubs who think we’ll have loads of money in the official site press release…

Spot on. Of course some will be held back but no way do you go out and say we’re splashing the cash (even if some on here would like that) as prices for players will go through the roof.

let’s just judge where we are at the end of the window.

ps Great vid from Vik. Legend. Emotional

 

[Martin180]

Fuck me look where we were around this time last year ?
No pitch to play on and one of our best players being sold to pay bills
