I'd care too if i was this close to a 100 million paydayHe looks like he cares which is pleasing
Interesting really would have thought robins would have said he hadn’t deserved it. However he was right next to him so probably a discussion they’d hadNice to see him up on his feet rather than the standard sit and clap...
I was talking about his celebration in these videos but Robins will want him down there breathing it all in. Makes it easier next time he wants to crack the wallet and shows a cohesive unit to the supporters.Interesting really would have thought robins would have said he hadn’t deserved it.

He's like an old school world cup camera man paying attention to women.

He can get Ken Delieu’s old tracksuit and just swap the letters round.I won’t believe he cares until I see him on the bench wearing a team tracksuit with DK on them
Get promotion we could make a bid, being Tom Grennans mate might help
Dave Boddy looks like he’s sitting down when he’s standing up.
The blokes class as far as I’m concerned, my son my nephew and his 2 children traveled up for the game from the east coast, I was unable to get a ticket ‘though it was a tentative effort on my part due to other issues.
On full time Will King messaged my nephew to see if they were still at the ground, told them to meet him in the main stand concourse.
Took them all up to the board room where they met Doug King, Hamer, Jude Bellingham among many many others, encouraged to make use of the free-bar and hot buffetmy lad is 22 and in all those 22 years I’ve never seen him so excited and loving life
Something tells me we’re into something good PUSB❤

Bournemouth getting high praise on MOTD tonight for putting together a starting eleven that only cost £104 million in transfer fees. No trace of irony.I'd care too if i was this close to a 100 million payday
That's so good. I know Will King gets a bit of stick on here but seems like a lovely bloke. Maybe a bit over the top at times but I'd rather that.The blokes class as far as I’m concerned, my son my nephew and his 2 children traveled up for the game from the east coast, I was unable to get a ticket ‘though it was a tentative effort on my part due to other issues.

God knows what the wage bill is. The Prem is like another planet.
Pretty much echoes what I've been saying and could secure us to be decent for a long time ahead. The difficulty is everything that's happened would be forgotten. Doug would be pantomime villain for not spending enough and bottom of the league in November, the bed wetter would be calling for Robins head saying he's lost the dressing room or taken us as far as he can go. Sad but reality of a football fanbase and not just ours.If we somehow did manage a promotion, I would be very tempted to invest very little, come back down with the £100m, buy the ground, put the rest towards the team, and fly back up.
Even if we didn't buy a single new player, I would bet our current squad would at least get enough points for a dignified relegation. We would certainly beat Derby's 11 points total.
You are right in all of that. I don't want us to buy 3 teams worth of players like Forest have.Pretty much echoes what I've been saying and could secure us to be decent for a long time ahead.

Pretty much Norwich City’s modus operandi for the last 20 years, 6 promotions and 6 relegations during that relatively short period, so that’s 6 x promotion windfalls and 6 x parachute payments whilst at the same time ensuring the fan-base are always interested as more often than not ‘they’re either fighting for promotion in the championship or fighting against relegation in the premier league.If we somehow did manage a promotion, I would be very tempted to invest very little, come back down with the £100m, buy the ground, put the rest towards the team, and fly back up.

I disagree. There’d be calls for Robins head after the first two games if we hadn’t won one of them. Using the first games back in League One after promotion as a case in point. We lost to Scunthorpe at home (unluckily) and held Wimbledon 0-0 away in the next game. Robins was getting dogs abuse on here, two matches after beating Exeter at Wembley, three games after the wonderful Notts County game. For some, instant and continued success is the only measure of a manager who knows what he is doing. No account seems to be taken of current circumstances or past history.Pretty much echoes what I've been saying and could secure us to be decent for a long time ahead.

In Football Manager parlance, the objective would be 'attempt to fight bravely against relegation'. Of course some fans would start getting trigger happy being bottom of the table, I'd like to think just as many if not more would do the opposite.I disagree.

Oh I agree, I didn’t say it was a sound business model ‘just that it was there’s…This is something of a myth
Wages £117 million
Net transfer spend £49 million
Losses £23 million (mainly due to player purchases as turnover was £133 million)
They have borrowed £50m from an external source against future earnings
looks a mess now they haven’t got back up
From what DK has said I get the feeling that is broadly the plan should we make it up.If we somehow did manage a promotion, I would be very tempted to invest very little, come back down with the £100m, buy the ground, put the rest towards the team, and fly back up.
