What he fails to realise is that spanking a ton of the budget on McNally whilst also losing Gyokeres actually means you have a weaker team than last year. Last year's model won't work - defend deep and hit them on the break with gyokeres. The team needed investment. Give it time.

Or people who can't see the positivity in anything? Quite a few of those around....

Haha! Right. Some proper lunatics on here. 'Hey everyone we're loaded, please inflate your asking price when we call'. Good business in this window so far.....trust the process!

yeah, don't know the details but typically sell on clauses are on profit

Just saying - to get an extra 10mn in a couple of years we would need him to sell on for 50mn.....

we would get 35% of any profit. So if he sells for 30mn we'd get 12.75*35%

you raise a good point with systems. Robins has adopted multiple over the years - 4-2-3-1, 4-3-3, 5-3-2, 5-4-1. And switched from possession based to counter attacking more recently. Confident he'll crack the code in terms of players and the right system to play. But they have to replace any...

Wish the guy success in the future - can't have been easy moving to a new country, picking up covid and then a long-term injury. Shame it didn't work out for either side.

why? I think they're wrestling with the profiles they want and knowing that come the summer they will have a recruitment team with their feet under the table. We're loaning players from Arsenal and Man City - and they should add to the squad. Plus a centre-half who sold for £2mn last summer...

Yes, he's Faversham way

They probably haven't got the right people in the right roles. Marketing means PR, CRM, customer engagement, customer acquisition, content creation, brand 'positioning' and even partnerships/partner activity. Re comms - it's actually really easy to scale that with relatively few people these...

and the Derby guy? and the Gillingham guy? Sheffield Utd group? Amazed by how connected you are and I stand corrected - the main criteria we should be using when evaluating whether to get excited about this takeover is 'have we heard of them before?'.

had you heard of todd boehly before his name was associated with Chelsea? Seems a strange (and probably quite limiting) criteria

one is more likely to occur than the other

The Derby guy's 'finances' were built on a crypto house of cards. Doug: Commodity Trader King Eyes $200 Oil After Record Hedge Fund Gain

They've currently got the most valuable squad in decades - they just haven't sold anyone for a while

He's going to leave at some point. Just a question of when.

Surely the only measure of effective budget use is progress? Which we've done for 5 years now. We still have one of the lowest budgets in the league....and are a few points off the playoffs.

We're talking about getting rid of two loan players who have contributed to some of the best defensive stats in the league? You'll get inconsistency from younger players (and yesterday was unacceptable) but let's not over-react (hard for this forum I know). There are fringe players who need to...

he literally said at the end 'this one is on me'
