All after the start of the season. The guy is hitting the panic button 4 days into the pre-season.
We added them players to a side that wasn’t ready for this league, we have a core now that could look like this
Moore,Dabo,Rose, Hyam, McFadzean, Bidwell, Sheaf, Hamer, O’Hare, Palmer, Gyokeres.
we have options in that we have Godden that can make that a 2 man strike force. We don’t need wholesale transfers, maybe need a couple of squad players.
Are we likely to lose one of them? Yes - but as of yet there’s been no bids. We need a Left wing back maybe and a centre back.
if Hamer or Gyokeres goes - I’m sure the club has a plan.
All fans want is for us to replace our quality players if they get sold, we’re not asking for the worldThe difference is that we knew we had at least some finances available for that summer despite Covid and all the challenges that brought due to Sam McCallum being sold 6 months prior, as well as the inevitable sale of Callum Wilson in that window, and the increase in revenue from the Championship TV money for the forthcoming season. Due to Covid and the absence of ticketing revenue, every club was also brought down to a more realistic level spending, ultimately evening the playing field a bit more.
The expectations were also vastly lower from the fanbase.
It's clear is a player is sold that Robins will most likely only receive their wages to reinvest into the squad, which is pretty poor given more Championship clubs are pushing the boat out a bit more, so you can't really blame posters for being less than happy with that prospect when very few managers in the division have to deal with similar roadblocks.
Sisu out chants by 2023Yes but that isn’t what will happen. We’ll be replacing Gyo with Plange on loan
And if some of them like Derby, Reading, Birmingham had such a road block it would have been prudent.The difference is that we knew we had at least some finances available for that summer despite Covid and all the challenges that brought due to Sam McCallum being sold 6 months prior, as well as the inevitable sale of Callum Wilson in that window, and the increase in revenue from the Championship TV money for the forthcoming season.

I get that some are concerned but this time last year Gyo was a uninspired addition to the squad and now he is the main man.
Free transfers wages and signing on fees. Contract extensions and increases. Training ground improvements.What I don't understand is the following.
Last season we got Gyok for 1, Mill, sheaf for 750k
So that's 1.75 million in fees
Season before, Hamer for 1.3, Walker for a reported 1 Mill
So, an average of around £2 Million in Transfer fees seems available to MR in the summer yes?
So when we have record season ticket sales, a much higher average attendance than planned for, a better F+B and rental deal, along with club record merchandise sales, why the fuck are we apparently so skint?
This is the bit that gets me. We've done our bit, everything asked of us all, financially and vocally. About time they did
And this is coming from someone whos actually a SISU advocate since 2017
It isn't ridiculous at all. Hamer plays well in part due to how good sheaf is in his role. In my opinion sheaf is far more valuable than hamer.
He is though. I didn't expect you to agree though in fairnessSheaf is better and more valuable than Hamer? Hamer only plays well due to Sheaf?
You started early this morning!

So how do we pay for those then given the current situation?A normal club shouldnt take training ground improvements out of the playing budget
Don’t we also owe the football league money? We loaned off them during Covid.What I don't understand is the following.

Creative players get higher bids. Sheaf is more valuable to the team not financially but purely playing wise. Who would you rely on defensively if we are under the cosh? Hamer gets booked every game hardly disciplined. Sheaf performing his job allows hamer the time to create .Please explain it to me.
Hamer is being quoted at as somewhere around 8 million. You think someone would offer us more than that for Sheaf?
The Robins comments re operating with a smaller squad are a u turn on his close of season comments so something has changed.
That might be the price to pay for retaining the prized assets, if so, I am generally OK with it.
i wont be panicking just yet
However one thing i will say
If we do lose Gyok or Hamer and dont replace at all
We will go down

We wouldn't at all. There's going to be some poor sides this season. Brum Reading Rortherham Wigan are going to be awful. We should absolutely replace anyone we sell but we wouldn't go down unless we sold all of themi wont be panicking just yet

You're right it definitely does, and it's definitely a worry. That said, and I am not saying that they are this forward thinking by any stretch, but if they didn't reinvest in a possible future saleable asset this window, it could be a business decision to plug a gap, with a free or a loan, as the right player wasn't available and they have one lined up for next summer etc. That would be a very glass half full look at it, and wouldn't expect many fans to accept it, but it would make more sense than overspending on the wrong player this window.Exactly this is exactly the point. Everyone expects us to sell our best players at some point but the whole 'model' falls apart if you don't replace.

You know the parameters the manager works to yet you still bitch and moan like anything is going to change.Such a ridiculous arguement. A small amount of extra investment in the playing squad doesn't equate to the club plunging itself into crisis.
We're asking for the majority of what the club makes to be kept within the club and reinvested back.

Isn't it?
Well clearly not if as is being suggested any fee likely received won't be given back to Robins to reinvest back into the playing squad?
You said kept within the club? Make up your mind what you are annoyed about.
I meant with regards to transfers.
Wage escalation and the ability to maintain the wages - its going to be between £17 - £20 m a year now
