Just King? Robins and Austin more to blame.
Just King? Robins and Austin more to blame.King needs a bollocking
Surely though Andrew going makes no impact on wages for a championship CM no? Unless he’s on a lot more than I would guess?No the idea is that we’ve let Andrews go, so rather than getting a CB in we get in a Sheaf replacement
I've feared this was the case with all the noise about outgoings.Apparently CB has been out on the back burner with Sheafs injury
All eyes on a new CM
Then the centre half
It is 1 in 1 out. Moneys gone
No it is King. He’s tighter than a nuns chuff and unwilling to put his own money in, just money that he’s earnt through player sales.Just King? Robins and Austin more to blame.
Accounts to 31 May 2023 show that he put £6m so you are wrong, I’m afraid.No it is King. He’s tighter than a nuns chuff and unwilling to put his own money in, just money that he’s earnt through player sales.
He could quite easily put £5m in, in advance of player sales in the summer
Is he not covering our losses to the tune of ~£5m a year?No it is King. He’s tighter than a nuns chuff and unwilling to put his own money in, just money that he’s earnt through player sales.

And you don’t think player sales are covering those losses?Is he not covering our losses to the tune of ~£5m a year?
I don't get this argument of him not putting his own money in. He is, surely, unless my understanding is wrong.
Wow a whole £6m.Accounts to 31 May 2023 show that he put £6m so you are wrong, I’m afraid.
Seeming as we need cover for RW I wouldn’t be against signing Ryan Kent till the end of the season.
Blackburn are looking at him as well as Rangers again

This only includes January 2023 to July 2023 if I’m not wrong. We don’t know what he put in last season as we haven’t yet got the accountsWow a whole £6m.
we’re a championship club, it’s pathetic his contribution

So you think he’s been putting in £6m half yearly for the last 2.5 years?This only includes January 2023 to July 2023 if I’m not wrong. We don’t know what he put in last season as we haven’t yet got the accounts
Well, we don't have the accounts. So you have no clue.And you don’t think player sales are covering those losses?
Do you do Dougs banking?Apparently CB has been out on the back burner with Sheafs injury

I don’t know, I’m just telling you we had a directors loan of 6 million from when he’s owned us from the playoff year.So you think he’s been putting in £6m half yearly for the last 2.5 years?
How many players did we sign between January and May 23 out of curiosityWell, we don't have the accounts. So you have no clue.
The latest accounts showed we made a loss of around £5m to May '23 which includes player trading. So Doug must have funded that
Basically no one for a fee, wasn't it? Mainly loans.How many players did we sign between January and May 23 out of curiosity
Three I believe, Luke McNally, JWE, Sean Maguire. Maybe Dasilva but think this was June? Could also of covered payments on instalments if we had any?How many players did we sign between January and May 23 out of curiosity
We signed Wilson Esbrand, Norton Cuffy and Sean MaguireBasically no one for a fee, wasn't it? Mainly loans.
Yeah? What's your point here.We signed Wilson Esbrand, Norton Cuffy and Sean Maguire
So you’re saying he covered player trading in that period.Yeah? What's your point here.
Wasn’t @Jimmy87 saying we were trying to get some investors on board. Maybe this is why?
No mate, he covered the losses.So you’re saying he covered player trading in that period.
We signed 3 cheap loans and a free player. Hardly significant cash
So he was an average finisher. i.e. not clinical. Not sure why this is difficult to understand.
This was all in response to someone comparing him to BTA last season. Neither of them were any better than average at actually finishing chances, which is my entire point.
it's bollocks as well1 in 1 out sounds rather simplistic, 1 leaving for multiple millions is obviously different to someone leaving on loan or for peanuts. That said i'm not surprised on the spending, we've spent a lot tbf. We will likely need to generate from another sale. Assuming MvE is the most likely.
Agreed.Technically no, he was a bad finisher then a good finisher which averages out to an average finisher.
We will see from fy24 accounts but I’d be extremely surprised if player sales didn’t cover the loss last yearNo mate, he covered the losses.
The club lost £5m that FY, and that includes making a £2.4m profit from Hyam so it's more like £7m
Basically you don't understand that the club just loses money every single year and Doug has to cover that before he can even think about adding extra finance in for buying players.
edit: operating loss for 22/23 was £7.8m. 21/22 £5.6m. That doesn't include player trading. When people complain about Doug "not putting his own money in" he is covering those losses?
