[Martin180]

Yeah, not the best news

To be expected though surely .
I think some on here think that Vik goes for £20 million we have to spend the same on transfers
Weird

ZOMG BUCKLE UP GUYS YOU WON’T BELIEVE MY LATEST ANTI KING COMMENT

Now you're just trying too hard and looking a bit silly, just chill

 

[Matt smith]

20 take away 3.5 =
hands up everyone

2 on tatsu to be fair

 

[robbiekeane]

We have got millions - that's the point. We're being told here that it won't be spent. I'm not sure what people are not understanding

He’s not telling you shit he’s positioning

 

[Balli001]

We need significant investment on the pitch

So the fees spent on 2 signings so far were pittance then?

 

[Martin180]

20 take away 3.5 =

The new accounts will be a matter of public record

So we've got 20 million in the bank already ?

No I don’t, I said 50%

 

[Speedie's Head]

Sorry forgot that. Probably in Euros

 

[Matt smith]

No they weren’t, another 8/10 to go

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

So we'd get about £9.7m if someone matched that 100m release clause. Not bad.

Think I’d prefer my chances at the lottery!

 

[Balli001]

Couple of points so you maybe understand more: 1) we don't know how much either transfer so far actually cost so your plucking rumoured figures to suit your argument. 2) do you think we are stopping now and not signing any other players?

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

We got £17m upfront fee and £2-3m is immediately swallowed up by Brighton’s share

 

[Balli001]

No they weren’t, another 8/10 to go

So you criticise lack of investment then accept we have actually invested...

 

[Matt smith]

Yes we’ve invested 4/5 million, with the play off run, vik sale and 19,000 STH on a 50% increase, it’s a solid start

think they’ll both be good additions

 

[mmttww]

Is it negative? I'm pointing out a contradiction on what he said previously you sausage

One thing was said to us, the fans. Other thing was in a press release that will be read by people outside the club, some of whom might have players we want. People have already pointed out why that's a good idea so I won't repeat it.

 

[Speedie's Head]

We got £17m upfront fee and £2-3m is immediately swallowed up by Brighton’s share

sure but we're not paying 3.5 for Simms this week either

 

[PVA]

I can't imagine going through life being so negative about everything and desperate to find something to moan about like some on here.

Must be exhausting.

 

[David O'Day]

Once again lads it would be fucking stupid of the club to be shouting about how loaded they are when we still need to buy oher teams players. Think about it

 

[Matt smith]

sure but we're not paying 3.5 for Simms this week either

To be fair I think it’s 3.5 million up front, to be fair to Doug

 

[procdoc]

We have got millions - that's the point. We're being told here that it won't be spent. I'm not sure what people are not understanding

We haven’t been told that.

 

[Tommo1993]

Right. Everyone enjoy the rest of close season, think I’ll stay off until then!

 

[Samo]

I don't want to sound mean, but there are some cerebrally challenged folk on here.

 

[David O'Day]

We haven’t been told that.

imagine thinking the club would actually go "yeah we're going to spunk a load of this cash on new players" other clubs would be adding a cov tax

 

[Yorkshire SB]

It's bollocks opinion to say we're not spending money.

We are, and we have all been surprised at how much.

The squad build has to be a 2 year plan - so we'll need money for future windows and hopefully not have to be in a position where we need sell our best players throughout that time.

 

[NorthernWisdom]

Did anyone expect 3.5m on Simms?

No. Delighted with the intent, also with Japanese geezer. Only a small portion of the Gyokeres fee spent so far however, so hoping for another three or four relatively major signings for this level. If so, then life is good

 

[Fysnkysc]

Is it fuck.

Better than anything we have done ever

 

[the rumpo kid]

2 on tatsu to be fair

€1.2 + add ons

 

[Speedie's Head]

To be fair I think it’s 3.5 million up front, to be fair to Doug

Up front just means before add ons etc

[Skyblueweeman]

Could do with some defenders though

I do agree. But if you know that and I know that, I'm pretty sure the powers that be also know that and are doing something to rectify it.

Nothing to get our knickers in a twist over.

 

[Grendel]

He’s done more in the short time he’s been here than any of our owners have done since relegation from the PL.

This is exaggeration the other way - too early to tell either way

 

[clint van damme]

I'm glad that's over. Didn't half drag on that saga.

 

[Skyblueweeman]

I'm glad that's over. Didn't half drag on that saga.

We've still got the new shirt and Gus - will he, won't he.

Don't stay comfy for too long mate.

 

[Mr Panda]

He’ll be able to afford a pair of nail clippers now hopefully

 

[SHUNT31]

Whilst I agree it’s too early to tell it’s not an exaggeration to say he’s done more in the short term.

- Sorted out the shambles of a pitch at Ryton
- Secured arguably our best ever manager and coaching team on long term contracts (previously was a rolling contract)
- Ensured we got top money for our assets
- Record signing since PL days (with add ons could be record ever)
- A deal at the CBS which may be more expensive but allows us to have exclusivity of the bowl and the potential to do what we please (safe standing)
- Ensured the best pitch will be installed at the CBS

Yes it is early days but what else can we expect to happen in 6 months of ownership?
