What are you on about, you're all over the place here. Do owner loans count as investment or not 😂

Because there is clearly a level of debt, a pinch-point in terms of the losses that they are clearly not willing to go beyond and lose grip on. They may be happy to sustain the debt at a certain level but may have to sell once in a while to ensure it doesn't run away. Not that difficult to get...

He doesn't want to aim for self-sufficiency, definitely not, selling players is a no. He doesn't want the owers to inject money in the form of loans to cover shortfall, as they are (and not calling in) , also a no (this is not sustainable apparently). What he wants it seems is "investment"...

Yes, they have covered losses in the form of loans. We all know that. It's a good deal more sustainable than what we're seeing at other clubs, where total turnover barely covers the wage bill. How does that end for those who don't end up in the PL? What is it you want them to do? What do you...

Of course, there is a lag and it may well have been the Wilson money that financed Hamer, so what, the point being that they did invest it to strengthen the squad at that point. Not forgetting the fact we operate at a loss, as do all Championship clubs pretty much. What do we do about that...

You might be right, that would change things no doubt.

He hasn't 'rebuilt the squad many times', that's nonsense. He has mainly been able to improve on the squad in the past 3-4 years. It's be ages since we sold anyone, and prior to SM players that left it was more a case of us outgrowing them than us cashing in and we improved with the replacements...

Arguably. All I heard over the summer was 'if we keep the big 3, I'll take that', we do that but then sell Hyam and people lose bladder control. Lets see who we bring in. We haven't seen enough of the players we have brought in to properly judge if we are weaker overall than last season. I'm...

Well I'm a big fan of Robins, but if he seriously can't handle having a senior player sold for the 1st time since we were promoted to the championship, then he's in the wrong job. I somehow suspect that he knows how the world works though and all will be fine around the water cooler on Monday.

This forensic analysis of Robins' inverview is funny. We've just been beaten, we've played poorly, things are going against us, is it any wonder he's pissed off? Some people seem desperate for there to be a rift between the manager and the board. I suspect there isn't anything of the sort, but...

We're about to sell our first player of note for 3 years. There will be one in this week I'd imagine. Some people love a bit of drama.

This may be a repost, but any significance to this? https://t.co/GKW4c8QDP5

The fixtures will be fulfilled. A shit situation presented itself, but there is a way out of it. Alan Sugar here wants blood though. Seppala, having taken a couple of weeks off from the string pulling (good timing that) ought to be firing the CEO, because that's how the world works apparently...

See the attack dogs are out for the Boddy, all very predictable. The simple truth is that he could not possibly have known. Whatever concerns there were that the pitch wasn't relaid and of how it would fair throughout the season, nobody could have predicted that the 7s would cause such...

Can see a points deduction, but it'll be suspended, and then a fine on top. So basically a fine.

Statement incoming..

I don't believe we are playing games and there is no conspiracy and have never suggested there is. It was a throwaway comment and was more thinking out loud than anything, but perhaps it didn't come across that way, so fair enough. I am genuinely curious about the conflicting information about...

Yeah, me making the throwaway comment "I hope we're not playing games" is most definitely an insinuation that I think we are. Fuck sake. Nobody is more defensive of the club than me, I routinely defend Boddy on here. Why are you so touchy?

Oh come now, you're better than that. It's just a conversation, no hissy fit here.

Because it was in poor condition, nobody has sought to deny that. That's different from it being dangerous. I recall when Wasps first played at the Ricoh, there were images of the playing surface literally peeling off at scrums. They played on it. Clearly the pitch was unplayable for...
