Transfer Rumour January transfer window (159 Viewers)

King out? Where have you seen that?

The biggest problem I see that people have with King is the problem I have with him. That's the way our club is now set up. Either people are clueless, being untruthful to King or he is being untruthful to us. For instance King told us our 'deck' is very fit. Lampard c8mes in and one of his first comments was about how unfit our players were. Then we have Austin. What has he ever done in football? Yet nearly everyone has left the club since King took over but Austin is still here.

This isn't saying in any way King should go. It's saying we need to change the setup. Like this season we all knew we was light in positions yet still brought in another striker we didn't need.

Or is King above being questioned?

Have a look up a few posts before my original comment and you will find one who said it and he's not the only one.

Im a fan! I should not be in charge of the club I would make terrible decisions. I also don’t know Doug’s financial situation.

But breaking our transfer records and throwing £4m here and £4m there and leaving us no contingency was nuts.

I'll give you that you were and did have concerns about the squad coming to the end of contracts and I can also see the argument of being more conservative with the spend and by default non of the baubles associated with that, the slowly organic approach with tight reins may have got further or maybe where we are.

 

[wingy]

In terms of SpaceX in particular it’s mostly the American taxpayers money.

It's probably an area he's looking to expand his portfolio of companies.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Keane. Hartson. Kirkland.

The difference now is that all the money is being reinvested. Yes it could have been done better, but you only need a couple of high value successes (MVE and Wright) to keep the cycle going

The most recent of those sales was nearly a quarter of a century, i.e. a generation, ago.

One isn't lots. You will always find one or two that go against the grain in every subject. Some do it on purpose. Some do it in jest. It doesn't mean there's many hoping King leaves ASAP.

124 appearances for Spurs in the top tier then later 142 games for Palace mostly in the 2nd tier.

1992–1998	Tottenham Hotspur	124	(0)
1998–2002	Crystal Palace	142	(6)

And since he retired from playing football?

Rooney's stats from playing were amazing compared to this. That's not worked out either.

At no point did I ever say lots or a total of one

One above and others. Yes. Others can mean whatever you want it to.

You never said that.

 

[chiefdave]

It also begs the question, if he isn't willing or able to finance the club himself fully, why on earth did he get involved with the club?

There's been rumours it was some sort of debt swap with SISU but I'm not sure there's ever been anything to support that. In some ways it would be funny if Seppalla had managed to sucker King into basically the same deal Ranson duped her in to.

 

[quinn1971]

So where’s it come from he‘s got no money, because we haven’t panic signed anyone yet, play offs gone so save it for the summer, no doubt we’ll have to sell a few as well but that’s the plan isn’t it, become sustainable ? Doesn’t mean he wants to sell

 

[Didge76]

If that’s true about Bling, the sooner he sells up and fucks off the better

Bore off with your “Bling” shit. You don’t like king I get it but you’re in the minority. Shall we get back SISU and play in Northampton & Birmingham??? Get a life you muppet

Of course he has money. But we will never know the liquidity of his funds. But why should he keep pumping funds into our club just because we say so?

Peeps guessing again.. ITKs giving it the big one again. They know nothing. This forum is bollox.

I wouldn’t expect him to, like @Saddlebrains said, he’s put his own money into the training ground and club side he doesn’t need to spend it on players, don’t blame him, after this season I wouldn’t give this recruitment team a penny of my own money, guessing about now he’s thinking the same as lampard, WTF have I done

 

[quinn1971]

Quicker this seasons over the better, who’d of thought we’d be saying that after the last 2

 

[M3rcian]

He’s the biggest loser on the planet mate. He’s just been caught pretending to be a pro gamer as the richest man in the world.

Your definition of loser is very different to mine and likely most, but hey, whatever. Doubt he gives a fuck about your opinion as he chooses wherever he fancies flying to for shits and giggles or which goverment departments are about to get sweaty (as the americans would say) as he drains the federal swamp of parasites.

 

[M3rcian]

OMG, am I advocating for King shock. Surely, unless Top Deck Doug is completely useless, he will have staggered the deals over different financial years, added on achievements, promotions etc to reach the full fee.
I get the outgoings will have same provisos, but Vik's money has been reported as pretty much paid, apart from the sell-on fee.
Think business done this window (if any) will indicate where we are, Think results on the pitch up to the window will drive matters.
Either way, last day deals can save or cost more money, depending on the circumstances.

To that point, if we're judging King here, it goes both ways, and any money we might have got from the Vik deal would have been fuck all in comparison if still under SISU. Shrewd business is paying back dividends and he deserves credit where it's due.

I am absolutely not in the minority that doubts king.

id rather be skeptical than gobble up his shite like you thickos do

He’s not gonna shag you mate

Interesting take on things, do you think about being shagged by rich people too much maybe?

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

I’m sure he’s absolutely devastated that ‘shmmeee’ has called him a loser, probably crying himself to sleep

Its OK you love him. I’m just saying being the richest guy in the world and being so desperate for everyone to like him is some record breaking loser behaviour.

He’s a basic oligarch dependent on government and if you seriously believe he’s there to save taxpayer money I have a bridge or a level 97 Path of Exile character to sell you.

 

[shmmeee]

He probably is. He clearly cares a lot about what random people on the internet think about him, he spent $44bn to try and get it.

 

[Winny the Bish]

It’s not crazy to just think that King laid out a budget for the year before the summer and we spent it all in the first window, right?

Or did people really think King was going to open up a blank chequebook?

I don't think you know what an oligarch is, but that's ok, your opinion still counts.

As does mine, although mine is based on merit and the substance of facts, so maybe a bit more intersting then just labelling someone a loser because you've taken a disliking for whatever reason (seemingly because he's wealthy).

Also, becuase again it's absolute bollocks, which annoys me, he's about as far from being dependent on goverment as you could get having built very successful businesses that compete with goverment in multiple areas (space, infrastucture, energy and communications connectivity) despite all areas being heavily subsidised by goverment money, money he was often denied because the goverment didn't like him (or more accurately his willness to speak out on politcally sensitive topics). Just a bizarre warping of facts honestly.

But hey, keep hating and throwing labels around, some libtards will vote up your ignorant vitriol probably.

 

[Domo]

Starting to think people werent born when sisu took over, trips to Northampton and Brum, seeing cov get done over in league 2 with less than 5k in the Ricoh. Get a grip, this reality with DK is much better

You’re just factually wrong and defending Musk this hard is so embarrassing.

He’s a prick with money m8, which is a fuckingdangerous combination

At this point, this is the mistitled 'talk b#llox' thread. I think maybe we need a separate TL;Dr tranfer window page where someone copy and pastes the stuff that is actually relevant.

Musk was awarded funding in the last round of government auctions or Spacex was, for producing rockets for space flight. He was awarded a 5th of what NASA received, in this 7 year period NASA have flown once SpaceX have just flown their 8th and bought back the main body of the rocket. I would rather put my faith in Musk than a government agency that like our own government is mired in bureaucracy and professional undoers.

And if you believe that you'll believe anything ….

why do you think Musk has helped Trump into power ?

 

[MalcSB]

I think there’s a chance you have the wrong thread Malc!

Just about possible so deleted. Apologies.

Will probably be followed by as much related transfer activity as any of the other posts on here.
