Weird

So the fees spent on 2 signings so far were pittance then?

So we'd get about £9.7m if someone matched that 100m release clause. Not bad.

Couple of points so you maybe understand more: 1) we don't know how much either transfer so far actually cost so your plucking rumoured figures to suit your argument. 2) do you think we are stopping now and not signing any other players?

We got £17m upfront fee and £2-3m is immediately swallowed up by Brighton’s share

Yes we’ve invested 4/5 million, with the play off run, vik sale and 19,000 STH on a 50% increase, it’s a solid start

think they’ll both be good additions

Click to expand...

One thing was said to us, the fans. Other thing was in a press release that will be read by people outside the club, some of whom might have players we want. People have already pointed out why that's a good idea so I won't repeat it.

I can't imagine going through life being so negative about everything and desperate to find something to moan about like some on here.

It's bollocks opinion to say we're not spending money.

We are, and we have all been surprised at how much.

The squad build has to be a 2 year plan - so we'll need money for future windows and hopefully not have to be in a position where we need sell our best players throughout that time.

Click to expand...
No. Delighted with the intent, also with Japanese geezer. Only a small portion of the Gyokeres fee spent so far however, so hoping for another three or four relatively major signings for this level. If so, then life is good

I do agree. But if you know that and I know that, I'm pretty sure the powers that be also know that and are doing something to rectify it.

Nothing to get our knickers in a twist over.

Whilst I agree it’s too early to tell it’s not an exaggeration to say he’s done more in the short term.

- Sorted out the shambles of a pitch at Ryton
- Secured arguably our best ever manager and coaching team on long term contracts (previously was a rolling contract)
- Ensured we got top money for our assets
- Record signing since PL days (with add ons could be record ever)
- A deal at the CBS which may be more expensive but allows us to have exclusivity of the bowl and the potential to do what we please (safe standing)
- Ensured the best pitch will be installed at the CBS

Yes it is early days but what else can we expect to happen in 6 months of ownership?
