Absolute garbage.

New boo boy? He legitimately began last season slating him for smiling.

Agree with the above. I think it's difficult to judge him from last season as he was either injured or playing half fit. At the end of the day though if we receive a half reasonable offer for any of our key players, we're naive to think the club wouldn't at the very least consider it or come...

We still might get one of the above. But if not, as I've previously reiterated. Little point getting disheartened about missing out on primary targets. It's an inevitability when we're competing with clubs who are run by owners who are happy to write blank cheques season after season.

Why would they want to pay up contracts? Most of their main players are ones that they'll look to keep in order to try and achieve promotion this season. Equally, all players will have relegation clauses inserted into their contracts in order to mitigate the fallout from dropping into the...

Do you honestly believe we'd pip a higher paying club to a player because he likes the look of the Ricoh?

The marketplace in the Championship is more competitive than ever now that everyone is effectively fishing from the same pool. It's not going to be an easy window for Robins. We were able to bring in players relatively quickly in League One as we were an attractive club to join. Given our...

Again I don't want to rain on your parade Pete. I really don't. But what value are you actually adding? I was in a sponsors and ambassadors meeting just prior to the move to St Andrews where Tynan and Boddy allowed us to each air our grievances and ask questions about the future of the club -...

To follow up from this query OSB. Do you think even in the event that a significant transfer fee was received, that it's questionable whether SISU would sell? They've seen that money is there to be earned from the interest on loans, so due to this - and even if in the event they received a...

Pete I don't want to rain on your parade - and I'm asking sincerely here - but what do you actually gain from meeting Joy? I have a contact who's regularly in the boardroom who used to meet Joy often as they are friends (not sure if he still does I haven't seen him in a while due to the...

Didn't you say he was signing?

There's always next Friday... And the Friday after that.

Hamer's deal was structured the same way. Even Robins alluded to this. Unfortunately that's just how transfers work. I'm struggling to see why that's suddenly a problem? There's still no guarantee all add-ons will be achieved. Some will be harder to reach than others, otherwise there's little...

The only two I follow now are the journalists Alan Nixon and Pete O'Rouke because they seem to have a built a fairly reputable network of contacts within the game over the years. But even then, they only really have half an idea of what's going on as it's all still second hand information. I...

You're proving my point here. We don't know it's the full £750k. Show me a source that specifically states we're paying £750k in full. How do we know it's not a deal worth up to £750k? Equally, I've not discussed other budgets for other seasons my core issue is with people continuously spouting...

They really don't at all as the same posters continue to spout rubbish about the Sheaf deal taking up a significant proportion of this year's budget. Most transfer deals are structured in order to spread out the total cost to ensure it's more affordable for the purchasing club. It's no...

We're not spending £750k (if that's even the fee) in one go. It's quite baffling the lack of knowledge fans still have on transfers despite posting for years. Literally do a quick google search on transfers and you'll find out everything you need on how deals are brokered within about 10-15...

Entirely depends on the deal. Usually loan with an obligation to buy deals are done because the purchasing club wants are struggling with cash flow and want to spread out the cost of the player so it's a bit of an unknown whether we perhaps put a downpayment down first to secure his services...

Football League World is fairly renowned for publishing weird 'exclusives' - usually from agents who have contacted Football League World for the sole purpose of driving up interest in their player. I believe they were the online publication that pushed out the reports of Leeds United...

I have to admit, per Boddy's previous comments I do question the feasibility of reducing the number of loans in the squad given our financial situation. Certainly not without a significant influx of revenue earned from a player sale. I understand the sentiment and he's not wrong, but since...
