Actually a good analogy tbf
Actually a good analogy tbfThe net spend will low to mid table at a guess tho?
I think we've done a bit of a Tottenham, remember when the sold Bale for stacks and bought in Soldado, Chadli and various other dossers?
our squad is one of the top 6 in terms of cost to assemble tbfAre we overspending? Or is that just what spending in this division looks like?

Okay that’s fair understand now.Genuinely not sure if serious.
Most teams don’t build entire squads over two seasons. Most incrementally build them. So comparing a team that’s done a full rebuild with an incremental rebuild is apples and oranges.
Okay that’s fair understand now.
Had a look and in the last five years we’ve spent the fifth most.

That’s a better metric. And fair enough, I do think we’ve overspent thanks to Austin.
That’s fair although again concerning that we’ve spent the most outside of parachute clubsYeah cam said. I do think we’ve overspent, I just think comparing us to parachute clubs because we spent it all in basically one window isn’t quite right.
King does the dealing
Manager specifies the needs
Austin sources the players against those needs
Manager chooses players to pursue
King negotiates the deals
It’s unlikely he will. Whats more likely is that he will defer further and defer with interest.
Could be wrong here - would have to look into it but I thought you couldn't lend to a football club without charging interest under sustainability rules? Maybe it is okay under a certain threshold?It's interest free

DK can’t win really. People wants him to keep his nose out yet he gets the blame for dud transfers. MR gets credit for everything positive yet most of his players picks are ones people want rid of.Meaning that " King needs a bollocking" is such a lazy statement. The fact that the transfer funds are gone are also down to those instrumental in bringing those players in.
This is interesting, I wonder where we would be with wages in comparison with the rest of the league. You generally think high transfer fees = high wages, but I would hazard a guess we would be mid table perhaps ?Okay that’s fair understand now.

We have also spent more than any of the parachute clubs.

He needs to be held responsible for the things that are in his direct control.DK can’t win really. People wants him to keep his nose out yet he gets the blame for dud transfers. MR gets credit for everything positive yet most of his players picks are ones people want rid of.
Quite possibly true.He needs to be held responsible for the things that are in his direct control.
I don’t actually think many of the signings we’ve made under DK are outright terrible players, but I do think we’ve paid too much for them, and that’s down to him.
if true i guess it depends on if he wants the money or game timeCoventry City and Ipswich Town trying to sign 24-year-old winger

Easy answer, everyone on here is a business owner!!! They don't actually run the company though or get involved because that would be ludicrous behaviour, I mean how dare they want to look after their own investments!!! Honestly some people on here need to go and take their faces for a shitAll of the transfer income was Kings. He owns all the assets. I’m amazed some fans still don’t understand the basics.
He could easily have pocketed 80% of the income himself, derisked his ownership and Robins 20% to invest.
He didn’t.

ipswich can pay him a lot more but he's going to be behind hutchinsion, burns and likely philogene there
On lunch and don't have time to look but I'm sure I heard an owner (maybe even Doug) complain about this and it was an issue in the Man City cases. Rather than being pervese some regulation is probably necessary - what is the difference between providing large interest free loans that never have to be repaid and just pumping money into the club?That would be perverse though wouldn't it? As the PSR are fundamentally about minimizing losses whereas interest increases losses. I don't think the rules include such a clause.
Can’t wait for us to become fan ownedEasy answer, everyone on here is a business owner!!!

The fallouts would be epicCan’t wait for us to become fan owned
Kinda wish AFC Coventry happened just to witness them to be honestThe fallouts would be epic
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.
As the sisu debts were cleared before the account was created, we know that this has come from Doug.
He’s definitely put in money whether he has for transfers is another matter
Who determines the approx value of the players when presenting the list of potential targets ? Austin I assume.King does the dealing
Manager specifies the needs
Austin sources the players against those needs
Manager chooses players to pursue

Pretty much spot onDon't get the DK hate - he never said he’d throw loads of his personal wealth at transfers did he?
He cleared c£60m of debt. Funds our losses. Sold assets (Vic and Gus) re-invested pretty much all in new players (identified by recruitment and Robins) and spent money on the training ground.
Being pissed off with no more investment from his pocket is unfair. Also we want to be sustainable don't we? Not reliance on an owners wealth. See also Stoke.
Sacking Robins is a gamble, but he's the owner and will suffer if wrong so its in all our interests that he's made the decision - not just the fans.
Also the recruitment (D Austin) may well have been decent looking at the fees we maybe recouping if we do sell. So the (his) model would be working. But the results on the pitch (managers) are still frustrating.
If he had it would showHas he taken any money out though?
Assuming Chilwell off to the physioCasadei and Chilwell out of Chelsea's squad and both reportedly on the way out
Well he hasn’t as of 31 May 23. Will have to wait until the end of Feb at the latest to see up to May 24.If he had it would show
