Keep Hammer and build around him if not then we will struggle.
Not very now robins is going
@Sky Blue PeteWhere on Earth is this coming from?
Just saying a couple of people have said similar things. Depresses the hell out of me as we have a real opportunity to kick on with the yok money
I’m only messing aboutJust saying a couple of people have said similar things. Depresses the hell out of me as we have a real opportunity to kick on with the yok money
We’ll seeI’m only messing about
Telling me Pete, telling me
frustrating, no vik no Gus
A massive massive missWe’ll see
Dk and ccfc still struggling from not having a number of windows where we added class like the yok sheaf and Hamer window
Luton have shown what’s possible
We still have that chance but especially Hamer those last 10 games what a miss he’ll be
Nothing confirmed yetA massive massive miss
thought him playing against us gets me pissed off at the hierarchy
Fair comment, need some good newsNothing confirmed yet
I'm not really sure we can draw any real assumptions yet. I'm sure we will do stuff regardless of the Vik transfer. Not much has been done anywhere at any club, everyone is likely just returning from holidays etc. It will likely all kick off with signings etc over the next few weeks and I think we will all breathe a sigh of relief and wonder what on earth the worrying was about.I know it's still early doors but the fact that we're waiting on selling Vik before buying anyone pretty much confirms DK has no intention of actually putting his hands in his pockets and giving MR extra to work with.
I'm not expecting him to stump up 10s of millions and pull off a Forest but the Vik money plus about 5-6 mill more would be a real statement of intent that he wants to deliver on his 3/5 top 6 finishes or whatever.
Does he really think Robins can continue delivering miracles on a nothing budget?
Surely giving Hamer a new contract would be the easiest and most sensible thing to do right now?
Trust me, my bed is still dry.

I think you are overstating how much the run to the Play-Off final was actually worth to be honest - I doubt it was that much but we will never properly know until the 2023 accounts are out I guessThe statement MR made was pre run to play off final (couple of million we would never had) and increased season ticket sales
I’m in the spend a bit of money camp, show the fans that the 3 out of 5 seasons in the play offs was not just pie in the sky
A good salesman can always say the right buzz words and get a lot of people on board (look at Boris lol) but the proof is in the pudding
I’m not asking for tens of millions of DK money but if the only money got investment we end up relying on is Viks transfer money then I feel we are going to be struggling next year
Won’t have cost moneyI think you are overstating how much the run to the Play-Off final was actually worth to be honest - I doubt it was that much but we will never properly know until the 2023 accounts are out I guess
Sorry, I read the original comment as we will have made a fair bit of money off getting to the play off finalWon’t have cost money
Couple million gained surelySorry, I read the original comment as we will have made a fair bit of money off getting to the play off final
Based on what though? A bit of TV money, one sold out home game and Wembley gate receipts we’d have had to split with the EFL and Luton?Couple million gained surely

Yeah anything from £2-4m highly likelySorry, I read the original comment as we will have made a fair bit of money off getting to the play off final
Swear the losing team takes all the gate receiptsBased on what though? A bit of TV money, one sold out home game and Wembley gate receipts we’d have had to split with the EFL and Luton?
As I said no one other than those at boardroom level of the club will know how much the play off run was worth to us until the accounts for this year are published
I'm looking at Luton's accounts submitted in June 2022 after their playoff season. Their losses increased from £2m to nearly £6.5m in yearCouple million gained surely
Mid table at best.
We over achieved last season with injuries etc.
Think it’s 50% if we have Luton’s share.Swear the losing team takes all the gate receipts
You’re optimistic!After reading through the Hamer thread, I now think we'll be liquidated by November
That was MR after King’s takeover was ratified - I don’t think other than a load of people putting 2 and 2 together and making 5 there was ever any indication of a huge cash injection from King and that we were going to start chucking loads of money around
Which is bizarre to me. How can you buy a club, write of 100% of it's debt and then not have a little extra to spend on the pitch? I guess this is where the "Doug King is a SISU agent" rumours possibly stem from.
I assume Sisu wrote off the interest and the loans absorbed into the hedge fund king manages
