I would have thought any free agents we were looking at would be already here and training with us?

I think we will be looking at players under the age of 23 and probably a loan.

We could dust down the Mo Konjic chant for him, although it might need a little tweak:-

"he comes from Bosnia, he's an average height fucker"

Because they have not put money into the club and don't care about the football side

It’s an educated guess based on current and past events - if the manager asked for £1m to get a player he thought could be the difference what do you think the answer would be?

I've already got a chant based around The Lion Sleeps Tonight.

Or the Wacaday theme.

From who? Pretty sure boddy and robins have both said they’ve been supported but if you’re in the Grendel camp these two just parrot what they have to or they’d be sacked

How do you think we got Clark-salter and what do you think was the sticking point?

That was one of the original signings, the post I was responding to was that SISU should give the manager more money (outside of the arranged budget) to have a chance of finishing higher

Sure and I hear you. I just wondered why you are certain the answer would be no?

The budget is still the budget though. It won't change regardless of whether Robins goes to Joy empty porridge bowl in hand or not.

Not really sure how or why you're claiming otherwise.

What do you expect them to say.

We have signed 4 free transfers, two loans, 1 signed on a fee and another we have already had a commitment to buy

We have managed to offload 6 players and loaned 1 out.

The fee for Gyokres will be covered probably by add on payments this year from Norwich for McCallum.

We have a significant income hike by returning to Coventry and the £7m TV payments.

It is not exactly a big spending splurge

I am sure also Boddy would have liked to also moan how COVID impacted the club last year and the owners had to be supportive

How does that actually work? The club would have not been preparing realistically for promotion that season and certainly were preparing for another season at St Andrews.

So what income has COVID lost? Essentially gate money at reduced pricing and levels of support net the cost of renting the pitch and also probably a negative impact on sponsorship.

Robins regularly alludes to the fact that the possibility of further signings depends on fringe/unwanted players being moved on. He's reiterated this in most, if not all transfer windows.

I think that probably suggests the budget is fairly rigid and that there's little to no further support given.

Joy wouldn't give us more money. She would have fuck all to do with our transfer activity and would probably just be the final signature on the budget the club gets for the year.

She'd only be involved further if we needed another loan to continue operating.

Completely agree. Don’t think that would work in any case at the levels we are talking.

Mmmmmm think probably that’s not the case.

Think robins makes the case to joy they then agree what the budget is. Then any increase would need to be agreed probably between Mr Fisher and Ms Seppalla. You’ve got to think that any business person would look at this summer and think money is going much further this window and you may get more bang for your buck

I very much doubt that MR and JS have a direct line of communication. Their relationship is obviously good but I think that's from the few times they've met and got on. I do think that Seppalla has kept her promises to Robins as he would probably have walked again if not. But I would think the budget is agreed and signed off before the start of the transfer window and any changes would go from Robins to Boddy to Fisher and only then up to Sisu.

Yep I agree with the last sentence. Pretty sure robins and Seppalla talk about robins aims and plans

Depends doesn’t it but if players you’d normally have to buy are being offered for no up front cost and it’s a modest increase in the overall wage budget with a likely player with an ongoing and potentially increasing value then it might be different

Can't remember who it was that thought we had a chance with Ben Davies from Liverpool but just to show how far from the mark they were:
Sheffield United paid a £500,000 loan fee for him, and are covering all of his wages (believe to be £25-£40k a week.) They also refused to put in a option to buy because there is hope he will either prove himself or increase his value further. There was a belief in January at Liverpool/Preston that he was with more than Adam Webster when he was sold to Brighton for £20 million. But obviously contract situation meant it was a bargain. Personally think it's probably a little less than this given his age comparatively. But just thought it was important to highlight the different world we are operating in, in this division.
