You were wrong.

Before the outcome was observed, you were both right and wrong, but this move confirms that your ITK status is, in fact, dead.

Yeah. So why are you calling it rubbish?

Because DK didn’t block it, once Godden decided to stay another couple of years the Sharpe option wasn’t needed.

How do you know he didn't block it? Are you ITK then?

On what grounds? If he’s blocked it for anything other than pure financial reasons then that’s pretty problematic…

Financial insofar as not a good use of budget

Sharp was going to be back up, it wasn't going to be about him replacing Godden.

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.

I don't think anyone said that at Christmas.

This was a fun thread though - Season over - some absolute gems in there, one person said Hamer isn't worth more than 4 mil.

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.

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.
