[clint van damme]

Yes, outside investors.

Wouldn't they be more comfortable working in an office?

Sorry.

May I ask how you know please elaborate?

I look forward to his reply to this

Let's weed out the trolls!

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

Doug is skint basically

He wouldn't put his own hard earned wealth into the club, I don't think any owners do this otherwise you're open to takeovers where you lose the lot

 

[Nick]

How many hours has it been?

 

[shmmeee]

Sorry.

Especially just in vests

 

[TomRad85]

Yes, outside investors.

Mike Ashley?
Joy and Tim?
Elon?

 

[Pusb1]

Give Sorba Thomas’ instagram videos a watch

said he went to France to make people change their opinion of him.

Said himself he isn’t considered a nice person because he ‘doesn’t listen to anyone.’ He includes managers and his peers in that

Sounds like exactly the type of person who will fit our extensive pre-screening when signing…

Can’t see Lampard having accepted 1 in 1 out when he joined. He would have wanted assurances to add players the squad.

He’ll have taken whatever he was told cos no one wanted him and he was desperate for a job.

But if the goalposts have moved what can he do? Walk?
He may not get another chance.
It's all conjecture anyway. We'll see what happens in the next 3 weeks or so.

Utter bollocks.

 

[shmmeee]

Utter bollocks.

He’d been unemployed for over a year before we approached. That’s forever in new manager terms.

Well not all managers can be..

You talk some shit.

Can only pass on what I'm told. Lampard was told be would be backed, money available. Guess we'll find out come the end of the window. We obviously always should jump at a chance to turn a profit with less prolific players like Lati regardless, FFP and all. I don't think it means it must be one in one out, pretty sure we are okay in that department.

If the ‘one in, one out’ applied to Tavares, Lati and a few other fringe players, we’re laughing.

We had money available for signing in the summer that didn’t materialise, sold Palmer on deadline day so there really should be a decent chunk available for 1-2 players without any outgoings.

not sure where this notion of decent chunk of money available has come from

Asante and bassette were bankrolled from taking some early money from the Vik deal

 

[Hincha]

The playoff chances are a lot lower than 2 weeks ago… probably why Doug has pulled the plug.

If we shift Taveres & Lati for Thomas & Holding it looks like good business, but not to get a CM this window would be genuinely criminal.

Well if he’s after outside investors it suggests that he hasn’t got money to fund transfers

 

[Andy123456]

All us fans can do is speculate and spread shitty boring rumours about an owners finances!!! Non of us know shit anymore since Dougs been in charge everything is so tight the only time we know about a transfer is a failed attempt when it doesn't materialise.... I love it as it stops pricks thinking they are super fans

We literally knew about Thomas Asante, Rudoni wel ahead of them signing

It more likely suggests he needs support to fund securing the stadium, which is far more important than any individual signing.

Is it up for sale?

 

[Cally Fedora]

That’s a myth. Owning the stadium would be of no benefit. Possibly quite the opposite

We were going to sign a midfielder for £4 or 5m… where’s that money gone?

I think some minor details may be getting lost in translation. To use one example, say FL wants to sign a CB, King would probably be within his rights to agree but on the condition we sold one of the 4 CBs we have e.g. Lati/Kitching. The two defenders people have suggested have interest and may be moved on.

Which wouldn’t be ‘one in, one out’. We have replaced Kelly, McFadz or Palmer in terms of squad head count.

 

[Andy123456]

Yeah, yeah, yeah

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Yeah, yeah, yeah

It was mentioned on this forum months in advance lol

That midfielder was a replacement for Sheaf who we would have sold.

we’ve got no chance of getting the ground.
Ashley has put a lot and I mean a lot of money into the arena


A lot more than he paid for it

all I know. money for Asante and Norman were funded by getting some money up front from the Vik deal which meant we get less when he is eventually sold

 

[Deity]

It’s not about whether you own your stadium or not but whether you can demo to the EFL you have an agreement in place to play your home fixtures over multiple seasons.

 

[Sick Boy]

He’d been unemployed for over a year before we approached. That’s forever in new manager terms.

Just like Robins was before he rejoined us.

Especially if as suggested Sheaf is out for a few weeks

That wasn’t our choice though. Sporting did exercised their right to do that because it looked like Vik might go for more and it would save them some cash. If he goes for less than £80m we’re quids in.

I didn’t say it was but that’s how we got them 2 players through the door

I would hazard a guess he’ll go for more than 80 mill now though

No chance. I reckon he goes for about 65m if he moves
