That whole post is just empty waffle to be honest, (apart from the thank fuck we have MR and Viveash bit).
I don’t scour the forum but I haven’t seen a bid figure from Believer. I think I saw Better Days mention 5m was rejected.
What I find a bit weird is that there’s a fucking tidal wave of depression because our owners are a hedge fund… and they’re operating like a hedge fund. Where have you been the last 15 years? Do I want a fan with a few billion burning his back pocket, fuckyeah.. but we don’t, we have a hedge fund and until that changes I temper my expectations.
All I can say is thank fuck we have MR, Viveash and the majority of players they’ve assembled for blowing the lid off those expectations in the last few years. SISU are our owners. It is what it is. Fuck them. All we can do is support and trust those who are excelling for our club.
Having a bad day Grendel. Loads of negativity and despondency coming from your key board today.
Pour yourself a beer, sit in the sun and think positively.
A lot of our fans seem to think competent owners just pay money into clubs willy nilly as a "gamble" to the promise land. We've seen what happens to teams who do that.
Is this the one post weeks ago talking about a potential Hamer sale and how he didn’t think the money from that sale would be available for fees? Got itYeah let’s ignore the info coming from the poster that has been consistently spot on.
Let’s be honest Robins would never agree to a “we are going to sell a player and no matter what we get for him we are keeping it” situation would he.
Bournemouth, Brighton, Palace, Leicester, Brentford, Norwich, Fulham, Leeds, Forest, Wolves?A lot of our fans seem to think competent owners just pay money into clubs willy nilly as a "gamble" to the promise land. We've seen what happens to teams who do that.
Bedwetting has become the most overused word on the forum and its boring. All we can talk about in the summer is speculation and if the best ITK on the forum is correct our owners are about to shaft us.Let’s be honest Robins would never agree to a “we are going to sell a player and no matter what we get for him we are keeping it” situation would he.
Realistically there’s probably a number that’s been agreed that’s needed to go back into running costs of the club. Or a % up to a number or whatever.
But don’t let any pragmatism get in the way of a good bedwet and let’s all get absolutely livid about the sale of a player (that’s not yet happened) and the pocketing of the money (that we’ve not yet received). Slow summer for everyone I guess
Certainly helped but not as much as the change of managerGet promoted like Forest?

Why? You forgot our owners of 15 years are a hedge fund too? Or you just enjoy a good moan about it everyday?
If Burnley are such a good proposition and such a 'big' club 15 m should be no problem for them. We really shouldn't accept anything less.
Again not to defend but given that we’ve spent money we’ve not got as a club for the last few years where do we get the money from? Grendels millions?
Moan every day? More nonsense.
I don't expect us to sell a top player and not reinvest any of the transfer fee.
And before you say we don't know that, I started the'Boddy meets the farmers thread' and no one posted any info about what went on.
But someone did tell me that Boddy said as much regarding funds for MR.
Yes, we don't know for sure that's what's going to happen but its fairly evident to me which way the winds blowing on this one.
Would be nice and show we are not to be disrespected and want to keep hold of our best players.why can't we just tell Kompany and Burnley to fuck off and make it public too, might get the message then
The worry for me is there will come a point where those pair won't find cheap gems, get fed up of trying, and someone offers them big money and a big budget.I don’t scour the forum but I haven’t seen a bid figure from Believer. I think I saw Better Days mention 5m was rejected.

Yep I agreePlayer sales. But if you stop buying players sooner or later there’s none to sell and you drop back down the leagues.
Just that it would be late in the window.Yep believer didn’t say an amount did he and just said none would be invested in fees. Is that right?
Thing is what you said was unsubstantiated bollocksWish i hadnt fucking said anything

You’ve just demonstrated why my post wasn’t ‘waffle’.
I’m acutely aware of who our owners are so I’m prepared for an outcome in line with the way they operate. I’m sorry you’re repeatedly disappointed but I’m not sure quite what you expect from an ownership whose sole purpose is to make money for themselves and their investors.
If it goes in a different direction and we (for instance) get a player in off the back of O’Hare’s sale (fee or freed-up wages) I’m sure all the depressed people seemingly blindsided by our ownership predicament will slide away from the subject like they usually do… and will move on to the next outrage

£6m would be pathetic.
Not to have any of that reinvested suggests we're just happy to continue treading water and hoping for the best.
Yea alright why are you so angry?
Literally repeated what i got told by someone actually there.
Id heard completely different that we told them to fuckoff unless its 10 million.
If it turns out to be bollocks then thats fine by me. Oversons tagged in the tweet so he can easily confirm or deny
Where are these reports as nobody else but you on here has seen them?Report's this morning are, it's 3 / 4 million. If that's case it's a fu*king joke.

Told on twitter? So you are taking what some random person has said on twitter as gospel (again)

A friend of mine who goes home and away and all pre seasons spoke to Overson and its come from him
I tweeted this info, and tagged Overson in it to confirm or deny
