SISU have always been willing to sell up. As long as their price was met. But no-one has been willing to meet it. Which suggests they're over-valuing it. It's amazing that we've just had a statement saying that we need to face the reality of increasing costs etc, yet the owners themselves won't...

I thought the final sub was Will Hall?

It almost unbelievable to think if a weeks time we'll be sitting here thinking Boris was an intellectual heavyweight and a shrewd political player. You keep on thinking it can't get worse... And yet there will still be people who think Truss is a better bet than Starmer. And those people are...

New Stadium: The long-term New Stadium project is being led by the Owners, with staff at the Club concentrating on the day-to-day running of the Football Club. We know and understand that many of our supporters are keen for a further update regarding this, and the importance of this issue, and...

I always knew you'd want to do that.

Of course that's not accurate, but you know as well as I do they classify 'investment' as being the funds they put in + any interest they're owed. Which is nonsense. I could lend Boddy a fiver at 1bn% and claim I've invested billions in the club.

I assume as Hall is being referred to by name and not trialist we've actually signed him.

I'm not saying they won't want friendlies, just would they want them against us on that potential injury-trap of a CBS pitch. They'd probably prefer it at home or to play someone else. I think at best we might suggest a split of revenues and costs at their ground. Though if Boddy's negotiating...

I'm sure Macron's shitting himself at the prospect of the man who was a major part of Britain's Brexit negotiating team being involved. There's only so many times you can pull someone's pants down before it gets a bit boring.

While the idea is a decent one, would we really wanting to be playing on that pitch more during the winter months when there's already rugby going on? We could run the risk of injuries if it's deteriorated again and the pitch will need as much rest as possible. Would also have to have agreement...

Then we take it off the next payment. I still maintain that the best option by a sensible owner would have been to provide a loan to cover the unexpected costs/lost revenue.

I think he's relying on the food bank now.

Whereas we just sell a player for undervalue.

As I said, makes far more sense to bridge that with a loan from the owners than weakening the team in the medium to longer term. Legally as tenants there's no way we can be expected to pay for it long term as it was deemed unsafe and therefore had to have work done on it for us to get what we...

I just knew someone would say that!

If we can't go a few weeks without having to sell a player then somethings terribly wrong. We know those games will be played and the income received in the next couple of months so a short term bridging loan to cover that makes far more sense than selling your most consistent CB for...

Yeah, but I don't like him. So that another positive!

I agree with that entirely, but I felt the one change (which may have come from executives rather than the owner) had been that we'd returned to the policy of bringing in decent young players to develop, sell and then buy more decent prospects to build. Over the past year or so that model seems...

All the talk of budgets and expenses is fine, but it always comes down to a particular point. Why, when we have attendances that are above average do we have one of the lowest budgets and salaries? I'm not sitting here expecting us to have millions to spend on players and be able to pay them...
