They do but I hope the FA keep tabs on FFP

That is absolutely ludicrous for a championship club to pay. Don’t care what season tickets they have sold and the gates they will get week in week out, this is that silly Ashton going barmy again…

They are now owned by a US pension fund. The CEO Mark Ashton is a lunatic with money “just ask Bristol City fans” but they have a great manager! I find it hard to believe how clubs like these can pay sums of money and incredible wages to match such signings without risking the balance of the...

Steady on… few games before we think about Premiership’s players…

That indicates to me that maybe the Fraser group would like to be more involved in the future? Why 5 years?? Dust settles, they see the progress and the income and make their move.

We have never been strong in the transfer market (selling) but what I will say is that Chris Wood went to Newcastle not long back for £25m!!!! We could fetch £30m but it does depend on our board standing up to these clubs.

Vik will be gone 100%!!! I would imagine that the newly established scouting team will have already given a list to MR on potential realistic replacements and maybe 1 or 2 future prospects that the club can develop. Will be interesting to see what DK gives in terms of funds to the transfer...

I agree on both points. We must face it Vik will go, and there is nothing MR or anyone can try to do, his focus will be to get a big money move… (unless the unthinkable). £20m is too low, I am sure we could get more if we are brave…

Well that works 2 ways! Out of contract and he doesn’t get the approx £20m price tag, of which he is entitled to 10-15% of this. Or he gets bigger wages per week due to no signing fee, so should he get let’s say £10k more a week (1/2m more per year), which is the better ???

His agent will work day and night to ensure this won’t be the case.

Could not agree more 👍🏻, he will move for his benefit and future. As much as we would love to hold onto him, he will go and then it is up to DK how much he then gives MR to invest. £20m & add ons will be an incredible pay day for us.

Doing some calculations, and if the club did want to gamble slightly in order to attract more, there isn’t much difference if for example you had a gate of approx 20,000 @ £25 ave a head or 22,500 @ £22 ave a head. So does extra footfall create more income? Suppose it depends on what F&B deal DK...

£450? NO. Personally, I want to see the club brave it a little and go for an offer which almost guarantees a min of 20k (walk in and ST holders). Not sure if it was Forest a few years back did this and got nearly full attendances. In order to get the crowd behind the team and create a good...

No,no,no & no… why do we always think of ex players?? The leagues have a lot of talent, go out and scout them…simple

Dyche appointed, here we go!!!! Let’s see if it is true .

Surely if we had no intention of selling Vik, he would be sat with the club signing a new deal with improved wages? We would all love to hold on to him but anywhere near £20m will earn him £2m plus overnight and probably quadruple his wages. Hard to turn down for a young ambitious striker who...

Exactly! I said yesterday that his value will continue to go down unless we renew his contract.

And get even less??? Unless DK sits with him and thrashes out a new deal and a pay rise! He could still go after signing a new contract but it would command a higher fee which might put some off?

But an ex Norwich midfield loanee could be?? Would have laughed at this one a couple of years back but now seems more realistic (only loan though)!!!

Ok, Cantwell is not coming to Coventry! Is this ok?
