Last minute Andre Wright or Dan Agyei anyone?

It pisses me off that all the offers are for new customers. Hadn't noticed my bill went up with Vodafone after my contract expired and they rinsed my for 12 months before I rang up and quit. they offered to match my other offer but I was pissed off with them by then, just give people a decent...

I'm looking to switch atm. Who was this please?

If it is for a sale then I'd be fine, I mentioned it further up in the thread. I just don't see it any time soon unfortunately.

This is decent analysis so cheers for that. If we need to make up your (probably fair) estimate of £5m in player sales I just don't get the point of selling Hyam for "far less" [than] £2.5m. Much more practical to sell a crown jewel for £10m and cover ourselves as well as having £5m to play...

Obviously not, I'm being hyperbolic. Still doesn't make any sense to me to make your squad weaker, lose a valuable part of it and use that just to fund operating costs. We need big sales and promising players coming in. What we've got is mediocre sales of a solid player for no return.

Surprised that wasn't on the season ticket marketing.

Also, the total of all of those sales is dwarfed by the extra money we get from championship broadcast rights alone before we consider record ticket sales, increased sponsorship revenue and record merchandise sales.

But as with my earlier post, we weren't just funding the club we were funding the squad. The latter appears to have been dropped and we're making the squad worse.

If they sell an ever present first team player and not replace them then yes.

Well Stoke has fallen through for them, you think Sunderland will be an option?

Any reason why sisu allowed us to bring together a great title winning squad when we were losing money hand over fist to play in Birmingham but when we're not far from a playoff championship team they decide it's time to asset strip?

Anybody want a block 15 season ticket? Offers considered.

Not two years after being promoted from L1 they weren't. They were still signing players to develop, sell and replace though.

Agree with the rest, particularly Kelly who we inexplicably gave a two year extension to. This I take issue with, the much spoken about Brentford model involved just that, Sell Watkins for big money - sign Toney for a more modest fee. We won't be looking at the expenditure they did but if our...

But those goals will be replaced (in theory) by the new singings making a big sale enables us to make. What we're doing here is losing a key player for fuck all. If SBB is to be believed our vice captain is going to plug operating costs. The squad is being made weaker not following a model of...

The only way this really makes any sense is if sisu are refusing to put the operating funds in because they are arranging a sale of the club and the new owners want the Crown Jewels in place. Doubt it though.

Don't agree. Losing Hyam and replacing with nobody or a loan is just fucking stupid squad management. I'd hate Gyokeres to go but if it was over £10m and we signed a striker to replace him and a midfielder (for example) then it makes sense that we're progressing the squad as well as balancing...

This is the worst of all worlds. I don't get the argument of 'at least this means we keep hold of the big 3/4'. We need to make a big sale so we can balance the books and reinvest on other players. Selling our sometimes captain for a pittance and then just getting his wages back in to...

Godden signed for our highest fee in years. Allen, Rose, Fadz, Jobello, Marosi, Dabo, O'Hare & Walsh all bought in. Despite the move I was confident we'd improve on our 8th place finish the previous season. Off the pitch was depressing but at least we had a pitch. This season it appears that...
