£3m 100% sell but gamble on promotion like I said if we fail this season we will all be saying we should of drafted someone in jan
£3m 100% sell but gamble on promotion like I said if we fail this season we will all be saying we should of drafted someone in janI get the sentiment but McCallum isnt an academy graduate. we brought him cheap and flipped him for millions withing a year.
we paid peanuts for him a while back from Hern Bay. he came through the Vardy academy I think.
not ideal but nothing about Cov is ever easy

I don’t mean blow the lot even 500k be niceAnd look what happened last time we gambled, got proper fucked (just look at Leeds, forest, Sunderland etc...) It's not exciting but it's sensible and it's what we need to be

Yeah sell them fair enough we’ve took £5m what’s he had of that ? Godden came
Off Chaplin sale
Looking at it the league is not as strong as previous years for sure,we are well positioned at the moment the squad is good & solid if we signed someone with that X Factor we could run away with it but we will see let’s hope the goals don’t dry up again seems the striker is not needed after Godden back to back hat tricks.I don't think we'd get anything better than we have for 500k unfortunately (godden was 750) we are more than good enough to get at least playoffs and with a bit of luck autos, no point buying for the sake of it especially if we get promoted, I'd personally have that money towards someonr championship quality
Exactly £6m and we can’t use any of the McCallum fee ? How much are the losses of moving to brum ?It's a fair point. We've received £6 million in transfer fees if what is reported is accurate. We did spend on more than just Godden though. As everything is undisclosed we won't know for a while how much was actually put towards transfers/wages and how much was put towards plugging any shortfalls.
Remember the last couple of seasons published accounts at the Ricoh show losses of £2.7m and £2.5m so its not just a case of how much we're losing at Brum.Exactly £6m and we can’t use any of the McCallum fee ? How much are the losses of moving to brum ?
Transfer fees, Signing on fees, wages, loan fees, keeping the club afloat because were are a league one club in a shit situation, what would you rather, be where we are or at the Ricoh under the terms wasps asked for with a sword of Damocles above our head

Exactly, so if we're losing the best part of £3m before we even more to Brum, then add £1.3m in ticket revenue and whatever other additional costs or losses (advertising and sponsorship must take a hit for example).We’re losing minimum £1.3m in ticket revenue extra this season. If you think we are better off in Brum when Robins is repeatedly saying we aren’t and need to return home you need to give your head a wobble.
Surely the lesson here is not to spunk millions on another established player but instead spend £50-60k a year salary for another decent scout to set up camp in non-league land and keep finding the gems

Yet people expect that all to be covered by selling Bayliss for £2m in the summer.
Not to mention as everyone keeps reminding us you don't get all the money up front.
Indeed.I thought there had been an outbreak of Rabies-never mind the Corona virus.Seems to me there is a lot more frothing about 'frothing' than there is actual frothing.
Even Neil gets it!
Most sensible thing I've ever heard him say!
Yeh in the short term we are worse off definitely in terms of cash flow and income but when the BATNA is the Ricoh with that existence-threatening clause then "better off" becomes a debate.We’re losing minimum £1.3m in ticket revenue extra this season. If you think we are better off in Brum when Robins is repeatedly saying we aren’t and need to return home you need to give your head a wobble.
No real surprise to them then, just had to get as much as they could.Sky Blues boss reveals McCallum's advisor warned of Jan move
McCallums agent told Robins he was going to move him on in January back in September...
If it enables us to fund a competitive squad, yes?
Yes to being at the Ricoh with the indemnity clause in place? If that happened we would probably not have a club to debate about in the near future
I mean I’d assume if we were back that wouldn’t be there. Think I’ve got the wrong end of a stick here TBH
That doesn’t really matter either. We end up renting a ground with no revenues like now. We need our own place
NoneI mean to be pedantic even with a new ground we’d be renting from a Sisu prop co. But yeah, the only way I see us affording the Ricoh is sharing with Wasps and I don’t think the relationships good enough to get the pitch sorted for that long term so a ground has to be built. Not much sign of that happening though.
Which was why I said he was placed in the shop windowNo real surprise to them then, just had to get as much as they could.

So long as they were Akinfenwa’s a few on here would be ok with it I’m sure...We are a league one club ffs it's what happens, also bayliss money went on godden and the signing on/loan fees for players we signed in the summer
Robins has also said he will get some of the money in the summer.... Of course we have to cover losses, what would you rather, we sign up to a deal at the Ricoh that could cause the club to not exist? The situation sucks massive balls but we couldnt have accepted what wasps asked for otherwise the whole club would be potentially fucked... hopefully we get back there next season but has to be on terms that favour us not just wasps
Yep, although sure he made his debut last year.
