Remember it's '5 year project' which will include player sales. That £1.5 million on Sakamoto is going to provide a huge return at some point. My guess is we will sell him.this summer which will again provide money for.squad investment.

Please no, as I've banged on about for the last month he's probably the player we can least afford to lose right now.

He

He's not a premier league player yet for me , his final ball and positioning still needs work but he has the potential to be as good as he wants to be
There’s been a couple of times he’s been caught out but I think he wouldn’t look out of place.
His pace is ridiculous.

This is what I thought…we basically gave them what they want.
Fair play though. Sounds like we’d struggle to get him in the Summer.
Yeah I mean what I say is flippant of course, but I certainly wouldn't be offering up as an example of how good our chairman is, using the words of a rival chairman who ends up very satisfied with the deal he's struck!

For clarity, we've out the money we've received from transfers into new players and that in itself is encouraging (also gives me hope that whenever we sell one of our current squad, we'll use the cash), as it starting to develop Ryton. Now if he could start negotiating that longer term deal at the CBS, so much the better.

I guess he didn’t need to say anything so it’s no bad thing that he’s bigging up Doug.
The turn around since SISU left is incredible, long may it continue.
I’m still waiting for things to turn to shit. which I suspect is similar for a lot of us and why many - including me - are quick to think things are going awry ie we wasted all the Vik money.
We’ve been trained to be disappointed.

The club is generally in fantastic shape, can’t believe how depressed and detached I’d become with SISU and their fucking court cases dominating our football club.
There were some on here who still defended the vile Sharks !
We feel like a club worthy of a large city now 👍


Couldn't agree 👍 more. And not forgetting the Northampton, Birmingham fiasco. 🤬🤬🤬

Yep those bastards SISU taking us out of the city and not buying the ground when they had the chance. Wonder what happened to the proposed new site at Warwick University lol.

I’m sure when we bought Freddy Eastwood (not long after Sisu took over) that Mick McCarthy said we were the most unprofessional club he’s ever dealt with.

Now we’re getting the opposite things said about us.

Don't remember that?

What was the context of his remark.

It was to do with us agreeing a deal to buy Eastwood, but wolves still owed him money.

How I remember it is that at the point of the deal between the two clubs, we announced it was a done deal. Wolves then told us to wait until they agree his payment, at which point we accused Wolves of collapsing the deal.

This is the nearest thing I could find to detailing it. You’ll see Ransons comment about Wolves not paying Eastwood what he is legally entitled too. Ray Ranson should not have been publicly commenting on negotiations between Wolves and one of its players.

I remember this twat being interviewed when he became chairman and being asked of his recollections as a player visiting HR.
He replied it wasn't a place he feared.
I don't think we feared any of the clown outfits he played for visiting HR either.

Not sure how you can say that after he has essentially built an almost entirely new squad that now sits in the top 6 alongside overhauling the commercial side of the club.

We were top 6 last season which was to all intents and purposes under sisu.
I'm not slating him, with one or two exceptions I think he's doing a great job but it will take a lot for me to start being a fanboy of a club owner.
But, yes, the improvement has been huge.

I really can’t see the CBS as a long term solution, the location is entirely impractical. I do wonder if we’re lucky enough to win that premier league promotion cheque in the next couple of years it might be best spent on our own stadium somewhere more sensible. Whatever did happen to those talks with Warwick university for some land?
They got shelved when King took over - his priority is remaining and in my opinion, still owning a slice of the arena

Ahh yes “Uncle Ray” - arguably one of the worst chairmen we’ve had.

And seemingly every other ground in the country. Used to be able to see Fratton Park from my house, zero parking restrictions, zero problems.
Lucky you. Highfield Road was a nightmare when a match was on if you lived around there.

Can't let this go.

If Sisu had still been the owners in the THEN January transfer window, they would've sold Gyokeres or Hamer and we wouldn't have been in the top 6.

When there was talk of Gyokeres possibly being sold the summer before King took over Alan Nixon was reporting that we would have replaced him with a loan. Luke Plange was the name he was reporting.

Well in Viks case Robins was adamant he was going to see the season out so I'm not sure that's true.
Granted I cant remember him being so sure Gus would be staying.
