You're flippantly dismissing what was said by Robins directly as conjecture then trying somehow indicating DK could've had his hand in it when you have zero proof of that at all. It's a pretty strange to infer he would've had no part in Austin's appointment when they'd be working closely with...

Can you explain why it's not and how DK was apparently secretly involved?

Robins was quite obviously heavily involved in his appointment.

I'd imagine his replacement will be a versatile forward that can play both at RW and centrally. As mentioned in another thread it's probably why we're looking at Sorba Thomas. Whether someone will come in this window, debatable.

I wouldn't have thought so. Championship clubs are permitted to lose no more than £39m across the reporting period which is over 3 years iirc. We're a loss making club but we'll be nowhere near making any kind of regulatory breach.

We certainly need a couple in, but we'll obviously have new additions by the time the window closes. There's plenty of time left. The club is doing the right thing by using this window to maximise the opportunity for player sales. It's a sellers market and moving out players like Tavares, BTA...

His wages will be an issue for L1 teams. He'll be on a very comfortable contract here I'd imagine.

Swiss Ramble is far better than Maguire who has been caught out in the past several times for posting some questionable financial analysis of clubs, including ours.

Suspect there's legs in this. It's in our interest to do so to be fair, even if it will piss off Blackburn.

There's actually a software company which a friend of mine used to work for that has a platform where clubs put players available for transfer on I believe. So I think it's still the case. It's called Transfer Room I think. That's obviously a more modern version of the traditional sense of the...

It's only the first reported bid. There's potential to press for more. Also, the club wouldn't necessarily lose £500k. There's also saving on his wages to factor in. You would've thought he's on around £750k a year at a rough guess. Obviously a replacement which can cover RW and centrally...

Thankfully, he's clearly nowhere near good enough for that. But it wouldn't shock me if he replicates his previous numbers at WBA at his next club. He's just not the right fit for us and an unnecessary overhead with Bassette featuring regularly.

I'd probably look at it from a net return perspective rather by every individual player sold. Any losses incurred from BTA sale will for instance be made up from the profit of Latibeadiere being moved on. Some players will be sold for more than what was initially paid, some less. Hopefully...

Absolutely not. Can barely keep fit for training let alone being able enough to get out on the pitch.

Yeah I also find that extremely difficult to believe. But depends what formation we play. Would still think it's a huge risk to not have four though, especially when the only RB support we have is a player that can't get into a poor SPL side.

I'd imagine the idea will be to bring in a replacement that can play both RW and centrally to support Sakamoto and act as another option down the middle in the event of an injury crisis or simply to have that extra option off the bench. Seems the logic anyway with the Sorba Thomas link.

Yeah, but he hasn't referenced us chasing a Lati replacement - whether it be a loan or permanent. Hence why i've asked the question.

If Lati is sold are we not looking at bringing another CB in or will we just have to make do with 3 until the end of the season?

Surely that's worth considering. With Lati potentially going for a fairly reasonable profit the club hasn't lost anything if BTA is sold slightly less for what he was bought in for.

One striker has to go really, whether it be now or in the summer. Having both Simms and BTA on the books is too much of an overhead given they'll both be on significant contracts and neither are really starting consistently. To be honest I think there's an argument to be made that Simms...
