Good old France Edit - that might be a bit unfair if additional support via EU isn’t included in their figure.

There’s so many moving parts though. If Putin keeps the gas turned off to Europe they lose billions of income as I don’t think they can pipe it elsewhere (although don’t quote me on that). I think oil sales to Asia dropped recently, China who they are relying on are in the shit and Europe is...

To be fair I have some sympathy. It looked like Ohare was going before he got injured. They were trying to get best/better price, just very unlucky with timing of events

Probably the only reason they released the wider statement…to remind everyone they have no interest in the CBS, it’s worth nothing and therefore if it’s available for sale don’t expect anything more than £1 offer for it (minus the new pitch costs) as it’s a white elephant without us playing in it

Agree with a lot of the above but new contracts for Hamer and Ohare was the right move. Without them both would’ve been going into final year this summer and offers would’ve reflected that. with his injury we’d be offloading ohare for £1m in Jan if we hadn’t or losing him for a free. At least we...

Agreed. Especially as renewables picked up significantly in recent years. I can’t believe it’s taken so long for them to start looking at it Ps I didn’t even know it’s how electricity prices were calculated until this recent energy shitstorm. I just assumed it would’ve been calculated according...

Interesting discussions being had about delinking electricity and gas prices. EU looking at it and I’d imagine so are we. Not sure what the planned alternative would be but I’m guessing electricity prices better linked to cost of its generation. This has got to happen. Whether it makes a huge...

None of us know but logic suggests if SISU had the cash to loan they’d be better off doing that with high interest, rather than sell players at an undervalue which diminishes total value of ‘their’ assets and impacts performance on pitch…which in turn also damages value of club ! Edit - does...

Exactly, which is why any parties will probably wait until the wasps situation is clear. This unfortunately means we need to find a way to tread water financially until then, I’m guessing the sale of Hyam was part of this (collateral damage). Only guessing but that’s how I see it

Can’t disagree with this. The one bit missing though is a potential buyer willing to pay what SISU want. This is likely to be influenced by wasps/stadium situation which is still playing out

It was. He’s right. Us selling players below value will ultimately reduce the price they could get if/when they sell the club. I see this as top of the cycle for SISU as posted the other day, especially if stadium becomes available. I wonder if the sale of Hyam is a stop gap to get us through...

The crazy world of football

Who knows. All I would say is defensive partnerships/units don’t just happen overnight, they usually need the right mix of pace, experience/brains and for us, a bit of footballing ability….and a keeper that gives them confidence I’m as sad to see Hyam go as the next man but we could still be...

Lovely pitch

Big three plus Sheaf still here…for now Minus howlers we’d have more points on the board Wasps are in real shit which could provide encouragement/stadium opportunity to interested parties in us (we’re potentially in our most saleable position for years - squads worth multiple times what it was...

Talking of joys to watch, just caught the Stokes documentary on Amazon. Watching that World Cup final and Headingly ashes innings again….unbelievable! Then you see what he did in this test, the 100, the 14 over spell to protect the new ball bowlers and then even nicking a couple of wickets...

Who knows on both counts but Id be surprised if her ego/emotion would get in the way. Value is the big unknown but I personally think this is likely to decrease in coming months due to big players contracts running down thereby reducing their values. I honestly can’t see how wasps get out of the...

They’ll sell if they think this is the time of peak value. They won’t/can’t invest to get us to the prem, the value of the squad is significantly higher than recent years (£25m ?) and most importantly, the stadium could be available to a purchaser which might put a bit of a premium on clubs...

As I said yesterday and think youve alluded to before, I don’t think they have the cash, or at least they’ve not got it available to allocate to us. Otherwise why would you sell a player, potentially at undervalue and/or rushed, when you could loan the money to plug the gap and make good...

I think Robins knows the score on the financial side, he’s admitted as much in the past. Likes been said by others, I reckon the pitch situation and it’s impact on the start of our season is what’s really fucked him off…throw in some howlers and I can understand why he’s not going to be jumping...
