Who told you Vik was staying?
He did, you were convinced he was leaving at xmas and for as much as 5million quid, didn’t happen Vik stayed, we all had a happy new year, Vik and his goals got us to Wembley and the baulk of his transfer has hopefully has transformed our team, note I said our team.

Shame we've missed out but the Coventry King says we've got a scout in the US so we can still go in for him if he does well there.

So the owner knows better than Robins and the recruitment team if a player is worth the money?

I could understand if we just straight up couldn’t afford him, but it’s Billy Sharp.
Mark I'm giving you a decent budget for once but we'd like it to be spent on playing assets that, at the very least, are likely to retain their value.

Pretty easy conversation really.

The one signing the cheques.

I get your point. He shouldn't meddle in football related activities, etc. but how do we know he wasn't thinking that if Sharp was the standard of player we could get for the money available he didn't think to himself, "fuck that" and increased the budget? I can get on board with that type of meddling.

He probably envisioned another Waghorn

I get it, but ultimately I think Robins has a better idea than Doug on how to build a squad and has earned a degree of autonomy that shouldn’t be taken away over a small fry signing like this one.

I know what you're saying but I'd imagine Robins got over not being allowed to get fat Billy pretty quickly when King sanctioned the signings of Simms and Wright for several million pounds.

Bearing in mind Doug hadn’t seen a game of football for about 10 years before taking us over, I’m calling bullshit that he blocked a move for a player he’d probably never heard of.

My source for the Billy Sharp one is the same source as the Hamer sale. It's not for footballing reasons just commercial ones.

Commercial ones? Surely the commercial implications of buying/not buying Billy Sharp are almost non-existent.
