For those worrying about transfer progress remember that Boddy said in his farewell interview that the best player we failed to sign during his tenure was James Collins…. Let that sink in for those questioning our current transfer policy …..

To be fair Wright himself said he had to learn the position this season as it was new to him. Henry attacked from the left Vik attacked from the left Neither were wide left players …..

It’s a new Wum account …

Robins confirmed at the time we were “trying to sign a player that would normally be well out of our reach but you never know …..” I don’t believe he was referring to EMC

How is this on topic ?

Or how about after 20 years of getting by we actually just enjoy it ??

I think we are very lucky that Robins is unfashionable and bigger clubs increasingly chase a name and not a track record …. That said Robins needs to perform given the squad we have. King will judge him on that and so will the fans …. That’s elite sport.

Let’s say for the sake of argument there are legitimate worries. What would your better alternative plan be ?

But you have zero evidence of the rumours your mate gives you but you still believe them and indeed defend them. Why is factual evidence now so important ?

You have zero evidence of that. The Vik and Hamer fees were not a windfall but rather assets that were valued in the transaction. If King got more than the sale valuation then that is to his credit ….

Jesus. Really ? if you don’t want a rich owner you are in the wrong sport !

We also invested materially in January with Torp and EMC. I thought he extracted max value from the Vik and Hamer situations and much more than SISU would have done.

But let’s not kid ourselves the alternatives were Sisu for longer or possibly William Storey ( 🤯). We didn’t have an emirate billionaire desperate to buy us, in fact any interest in buying us for the previous near decade was via Gary Hoffman trying to rescue us from Sisu. sitting on the fence...

He did buy the club. If someone owes you money and they give you something in exchange for that debt then you have bought that item for that value. I have been a city fan for over 40 years and whilst it is still early days I don’t recall a better owner at the club. I know some might say John...

I doubt it was Kings decision to award Godden a new deal. Robims would have recommended it.

Why do you dislike Doug ? It’s implied in most of your posts ?

Or we sign loan players for positions we don’t already have top talent in …. Left back for example

I’m sure he could do it but I prefer him out wide where gets more space.

But you have the issue of the loaning club and player expecting him to play ahead of your own permanent signings ….

Doug has frozen season ticket prices, and doubled down on his “I’m ambitious and we are going to give it a proper go “ message. neither suggests we have run out of transfer funds ….
