He hasn't said that at all. Christ your agenda against Doug is all-consuming isn't it?? £3.5 million on Simms, more than a million quid for Sakamoto. Clearly more players coming in, club infrastructure being upgraded massively. More season tickets sold than ever before and all of this off the back of a run to the playoff final. What more do you want??

Top Player and deserved this move. His development in just 2 and half years was just incredible!

Yep. Great goal. Couldn’t believe it when watching.

Its all well and good saying il pay for the Ryton renovations

If he then proceeds to but that money back in his pocket from the Vik sale I don't think that's a good look?

You won’t know until accounts are out in Feb ‘25 so I wouldn’t worry too much about it.

How do you know he will though? He has talked about renovating ryton as a whole and adding facilities. How would you expect those to be paid for?
Click to expand...


He shouldn't come out and say he's funding it all then should he?

That's my issue

Not the money being used, its sensible, its needed of course some should go on off the field stuff

He says stuff that contradicts what he's said before e.g family zone, infrastructure from his own pocket or backtracks on it, eg Season Tickets, box prices

Unless what he's saying is true or can be stuck to shouldn't he just shut up? that's what everyone said about the previous incumbents no?

He's clearly telling the fans not to expect too much in the way of signings from the proceeds.

Fucking hell, you are by far the most negative person on this forum, by some distance.

He is stating that deliberately so it can’t be used against them in future negotiations.

Just stop the constant negativity around the ownership of the club. We are a million miles better off than we have been in the past 20 plus years. Enjoy the ride.

The money from Vik will be used to secure the clubs future. The sale of Josh Reid will be put back into transfers and wages after the deduction of a glass door.

Support, not fund. As it should, this is the most money the club has had to play with and it should be used to develop the long term future of the club.

Not if the club doesn't own the actual physical infrastructure - also King has himself said we should be in the top 6 3 seasons in the next 5

Is it negative? I'm pointing out a contradiction on what he said previously you sausage

If this was SISU and the same was said you'd all be up in arms banging on about Joys new handbag

Its right some Vik money should be used on infrastructure, just don't twerk for the fans claiming you're paying for Ryton renovations and new CBS pitch and then when the Vik money comes in claim that's going towards it

I'm not saying its a bad thing, I'm saying he needs to stop spouting things then contradicting or going back on it

Perhaps he should've known how much we'd sell Vik for in July when he made them statements early on in the year ?

To be fair he could have paid for the urgent ones (pitch etc) but there be talking about future stuff or things were not aware of yet.

Ok that’s fair enough.

But it’s common knowledge that when you receive big money for a player, as soon as you get the negotiating with another club for a new player, the price is inflated. He is protecting against that imo.

I just think you can come across as anti Doug, which if I am honest is astonishing considering what we’ve put up with for years.

Spot on. Of course some will be held back but no way do you go out and say we’re splashing the cash (even if some on here would like that) as prices for players will go through the roof.

let’s just judge where we are at the end of the window.

ps Great vid from Vik. Legend. Emotional
