I I don’t think anyone would have been excited had we signed him in this summer or the one before ….

100% It’s not helpful to either party to be misaligned at the start and I assume Pato wants to find a club asap as he needs to play to earn a sensible UK based contract in the summer.

I don’t have any inside info on this but I would be amazed if Pato even started training with us with a view to earning a contract unless his package requirements were seen to be broadly ok. £7k vs £15k is not broadly aligned. Therefore either GIMOC is wrong or he didn’t join us initially to...

He didn’t read a policy or even think about whether his post was correct.

I was thinking more than if their deal to exit is close they won’t be risked.

They wanted him out with 10 games to go last season

He’s losing the fans already …. His use of subs being the biggest bug bare after the poor results. When they are chanting “ you don’t know what you are doing “ after less than 2 months it’s a really dire position.

Trust me they were desperate to find a buyer for years before King took the club. Hoffman tried on more than one occasion but a combination of valuation differences and personality clashes got in the way. The first rule of selling anything is to pretend you don’t wish to.

Well we were not that attractive as we were for sale for years before we found a buyer or at least one Sisu would deal with.

To play devils advocate you could say that the club has now proven that it can have near sell out crowds most weeks, a lot of the off field heavy lifting has been done ( training ground, clubs commercial offer, professional playing infrastructure ) and it has £40-50m in playing assets. However...

They may not make a profit but it will make a contribution to fixed costs I’m sure.

They signed Conor Coady in the summer of 2023 as they entered the championship. They gave him his best ever football contract even though he was stepping down a division and arguably his best years were behind him. 4 yr deal on £75k a week …. He couldn’t believe his luck.

The rot started when the father was still there. Immediately following the premier league win they started paying way over the odds salaries to players in a bid to become a Champions league team. At one point they had the 5th highest wage bill in the league. It was a totally unsustainable...

Dawkins is so far up Oversons arse he can see saddles ankles !

Why do you yearn for the SISU days so much … it’s really odd behaviour

The rental income would be neutral ….

Y You might want to ask a Newcastle fan what that was like …. Team relegated under him ( and promoted ) no real investment in transfers, wouldn’t engage with the fans, banned local media. They were protesting to get rid of him.

One that thinks the 2 assets combined are worth more than apart ….

Bidwell back in One of Lati or BTA not to start.

We have been linked with him for a couple of seasons now. I think we first were linked with him after we played Oxford in the FA Cup. I doubt we have the funds …..
