I wouldn’t expect him to, like @Saddlebrains said, he’s put his own money into the training ground and club side he doesn’t need to spend it on players, don’t blame him, after this season I wouldn’t give this recruitment team a penny of my own money, guessing about now he’s thinking the same as lampard, WTF have I done

Especially as he will have seen how far close to 50m has gone. I know most of it came from selling 2 players but it still would have been a wakeup call for him. He most probably expected us to be up there with Leeds but sees us down there with Oxford.

As the famous saying goes the easiest way of becoming a millionaire in football is start off being a billionaire then buy a football club.

I still say sell who we can to bring some funds into our club, bring in a few loans/short contracts to get us over the line this season then fill the gaps in the summer with permanent targets. Hopefully Vik gets sold to give us more funds. With EMC, Wright and Simms we have the goals. Players like Saka, Rudoni and Dovin are more than capable. And with Lampard I can see us giving it a real go next season.

I'm hoping that DK will see another couple of players will actually ensure the previous £40m of investment in players is value for money. Its not wasted in my opinion.

The squad is just a little unbalanced and a little more tweaking will get it firing - and then the returns in player sales will flow (which I think would happen now if we sold the majority now anyway).

I was going to make a thread about this actually

Seemingly the investment he planned to bring in hasn't been forthcoming which has changed his outlook

He strolled in thinking this owning a club lark was easy, you could flog players for a huge profit most years rinse and repeat

When hes discovered that indeed isn't the case (remember, he himself admitted he know nothing of football) he's realising just how hard owning a football club is now the honeymoon period is over

So the club isn't up for sale in the greatest sense of the word, but he won't be here by 2028 I can 100% promise you, that may even be a lot sooner with how it's panned out recently

Everything is always for sale. Just depends on the price.

I'm not defending Musk. I'm bored with the lack of transfer news and calling out the utter shite that gets posted highjacking a transfer thread.

Just annoyed by dillisuional posters writing brainfart comments like anyone gives a fuck about their view of the world. Adding some context for why their comments are bollocks is just better then calling them a lazy slur and trolling.

I don't think you know what an oligarch is, but that's ok, your opinion still counts.

As does mine, although mine is based on merit and the substance of facts, so maybe a bit more intersting then just labelling someone a loser because you've taken a disliking for whatever reason (seemingly because he's wealthy).

Also, becuase again it's absolute bollocks, which annoys me, he's about as far from being dependent on goverment as you could get having built very successful businesses that compete with goverment in multiple areas (space, infrastucture, energy and communications connectivity) despite all areas being heavily subsidised by goverment money, money he was often denied because the goverment didn't like him (or more accurately his willness to speak out on politcally sensitive topics). Just a bizarre warping of facts honestly.

But hey, keep hating and throwing labels around, some libtards will vote up your ignorant vitriol probably.

January 17th - No signings.
A forum descends into madness.
Rumours that King wants a quick sale now circulate.
An elderly Jamie Paterson finally considers a move to his home town club.
Arguments about Elon Musk are spreading like wildfire.

I'm not motivated enough to do that and by dint of your distain for this topic (being on this thread), perhaps call out those who keep highjacking a popular thread to share inane and lazy opinions that are completely off topic. In the meantime, I might just call it out (with context) rather then suffer stupid vitriol that I don't check in for.

Selectively and with bias showing support for the continuation of it (if anti-Musk). You're a troll with auto-correct.

I don’t hate. I pity. That’s a lot of insults and not a lot of facts. Why does people thinking he’s a loser because he wants everyone to like him so much and he’s a bit dim upset you so much. Do you even know the guy? Very weird behaviour.

Nope. Maybe call it out when it starts and the thread wouldn't get off topic. Until there's a signing to discuss, it keeps coming up and I'm as fucked off as anyone I have to waste time reading it.

Shall we talk about transfers?

The Everton and Fulham Milan interest is real

Paterson should be announced today. Rak Sakyi closer than it was at the start of the week

Expect a contract announcement soon regarding one of the ones we weren't going to extend and let expire, but now we are potless we have no choice

Most of your recent posts have been about Musk - I would suggest you start a thread about him on the off topic forum, you will find plenty of discussion to be had there.

If its Bidwell it might mean we'd rather try and move on Dasilva. Makes sense imo.

Make sense to be bidders. Would keep Wilson over Collins but if we can’t shift Collins and we need to be clever with wages, sadly might mean we’d cut him. Let’s be honest don’t see anyone but Dovin in goal for the future

Can’t see him leaving now, just seems too late for the club to get a RB to replace. Could be wrong but think it’ll be a summer job.
