From your Veronese contacts?
I’ve heard there’s strong interest from Leicester.
I think sisu hoped and planned to sell off Ryton but we’re prevented by the sports council until they could provide suitable replacement, sports grounds can’t be just sold off now. As to who owns I presume it was sisu and then Doug King.I'm sure Sisu would only of sold the training ground if they could make profit out of the move, ie, sell the asset and rent another facility, or something along those lines.
What we need (ideally) is to move to a new, bigger, upto date facility that we will own outright.
I've not heard any player say they are refusing to sign for us because of the training ground, where have you got that from?
As in Armand? 31 year old forward ex Blackpool player? I really hope not if that's the case.No Gnanduillet on his way to us
It’s pretty obvious the club aren’t giving him what he wants at presentSince when has Saddlebrains been a source of reliable info ffs!!!! He’s posted ‘he’s heard’ and Matt Smith is about to walk into traffic.
How is that obvious? It could be literally anything. “King has a lot to answer for” FFS man!!It’s pretty obvious the club aren’t giving him what he wants

Yeah that’s not conclusiveWe don’t even know if he wants to stay
I said if Gus wants to stay and the rumoured figures are true and we can’t get the deal done, yes I think that’s quite poor.How is that obvious? It could be literally anything. “King has a lot to answer for” FFS man!!
Issue is, this is a little bit like comparing apples and oranges.
Frankly, it was easier to recruit in L1/L2 as most of the signings were low cost by large and even with all of the off field issues the club was still one of the more attractive propositions in each respective league.
The Championship is a completely different kettle of fish. The stakes are higher, as is the financial outlay for signings and the level of competition we're up against is far greater.
We can easily get bodies in but getting the right ones in is quite clearly far more difficult at this level, especially when factoring in the budget Robins has available.
Which is why I've said for a while the number of signings we need is a bit of a double edged sword.
It was a decent game but they also managed to get lucky with the penalty save - hopefully next season will be a bit better!From your Veronese contacts?P.S. I fully missed the day of Hellas' play off v Spezia - watched the highlights the day after. They don't do things the easy way!
I’d keep that quiet, knowing a Leicester fan!!It was a decent game but they also managed to get lucky with the penalty save - hopefully next season will be a bit better!
This came from a Leicester fan I know through the brother-in- law.
I see the negative faction are well in swing Doug won't want to lose Hamer if Hamer wants to stay there will be a deal.
It is a big test but none of us know the figures involved and what's going through the players head. I'm optimistic because of Hamers actions but if he's asking for premiership money we are likely not to be able to afford it. Hopefully all parties are being sensible and we get there if we don't it shouldn't be knee jerk to Doug out.It’s his first proper on the field test. Of course people are letting him know ahead of that how important it is.
Whole lot of judgement on King has been reserved until this summer. He is on the pot having kicked off the last constipated occupants and it’s very much shittin’ time.
You just know there will be thoughIt is a big test but none of us know the figures involved and what's going through the players head.

Course there won’t beYou just know there will be though
Unfortunately so, hardly ever any shades of grey on here!You just know there will be though
you only need to look at the comments between a win and loss - from Championship material to Relegation certainties based on 1 gameUnfortunately so, hardly ever any shades of grey on here!

All true and you have to add that despite what Doug and Robins want the fact is if Gus fancies a move or wants more money than is sustainable then there is little we can do. For now I'm sure that the club are fully aware that he is a key player and will do their best to get him to stay. As for the noise I'm taking all this talk of 'extra 2k a week' etc with a huge pinch of salt.Typical SBT thread this, posters arguing with each other over something that's beyond our control. All we need to do is be patient boys and girls, Robins is his own man and will know what he wants, he and DK know how important Gus is to the team and will make the right decision. But as we are still a week away from the players returning to training we've got another week of he said she said and my brothers mate knows the groundsman's brothers cousin in law threads to wade through. Keep the faith.

Honestly it's drives me insane that everything has to be fantastic or the end of the world with no in-between reminds me of a Tim Minchin songYes we do seem to be reflecting the general tendency towards polarization that we see across the world these days.
not heard anything. players due back next week so I imagine i know more then
Fair enough. Are we close to any incomings this week?
same as what i was told Friday. my interpretation is that once issues higher up are resolved that will follow with players coming in. next week could be a busy week on and off the pitch

Next week as in w/c July 3rd?same as what i was told Friday. my interpretation is that once issues higher up are resolved that will follow with players coming in. next week could be a busy week on and off the pitch
Players back in training next Monday except for Vik. obviously robins and Adi will want off the pitch issue resolved so hopefully conversations are already taking place with king and robins.Next week as in w/c July 3rd?
So you work at the training ground? Or are you one of the players?! Lolnot heard anything. players due back next week so I imagine i know more then
You'd think they'd want players in before they go to Portugal
So you work at the training ground? Or are you one of the players?! Lol
