Thing is sbup, once these rumours start they spread like wildfire and quite often all these different stories come from the one single rumour source.

Lack of funds, club not following up with the promises. I can't believe the same set of players just go crap over night something is seriously wrong.

Wasn't our form bad before he was sold?
If we couldnt pay players then I'm pretty are we wouldn't have signed players in the Jan window!
Yep, exactly.If we couldnt pay players then I'm pretty are we wouldn't have signed players in the Jan window!
If the players hasn't been paid I'm pretty sure we would have heard about it. Don't the Pfa normally make announcements when that sort of thing happens?
I know when Bolton an Northampton weren't getting paid ( or in danger of not being paid) it was plastered all over the media.

It looks like there was a cash flow shortage. Due to the mis calculation which is why I guess Mr Waggott was moved on.
Selling first dibs on JM would have been a good way round that.
Selling him at the last second in the window didn't really make sense. Until you realise about the miscalculation. Then you realise we are not self sufficient and that Maddision money is even more important than if we were. If they didn't accept that offer than for whatever reason couldn't sell him in the summer. The extra money put in to cover the short fall is not recouped.
I assume at high level investor meetings the phrase self sufficient is very very important at the moment. To have that jeopardised probably isn't an option hence the speedy sale. ( just a guess)
Well considering we signed Lorentzson in early December and Andy Rose on the 23rd December, I would say it was highly unlikely we didn't pay the players at Christmas....unless we sold Maddison to pay for them.

It wouldn't have been the first time we signed players on a wing and a prayer.
We didn't actually have the money to buy Stern John (and I mean physically, did not have it) but we went ahead anyway. Likewise, Malky Mackay. The answer from our esteemed chairman at the time (between these four walls) was if the Mackay deal had gone through 'the bank would have slapped my wrist'.
Were our squad being paid at the time though?
Not entirely sure they were, tbh!

He sold Davenport to pay for Stern John didn't he? Having assured Reid he would never sell him Reid found out he'd been sold when he read it in a paper.
If my employer was bringing in new staff whilst I wasn't being paid I would be mightily pissed off!
Yep. I blame Sisu for that one.He sold Davenport to pay for Stern John didn't he? Having assured Reid he would never sell him Reid found out he'd been sold when he read it in a paper.

It will be interesting to see if richardsons gagging order is now lifted.
2 post timmy but 10 thousand post observer who finally decided to inform you, your own decision and opinion is welcome but i have an inside view so it really doesn't bother me what you think, it will all come out eventually
It turned out the Davenport cash was taken straight by the bank.
It's why when the Mackay deal fell through we couldn't go for another player, and had to go for youthful loans instead. Once the bank found out we'd spent some on John, and were trying to spend some more, they soon put a stop to that!
Welcome to my world!
the players were not paid in december
Yawn. We signed four players in January before the Maddison deal. A deal which now looks like an amazing bit of business if, as the nationals indicate, was £3.5 million up front.
Rumours are rumours. A non fan but an employee in the arena group said he was targets by Man U but wanted to go to Norwich as they've promised game time. Either way he said he was up for the move. His value is dropping every week.
We did the right thing.
