Well that's the beauty of change - when situations change actions can too. When was the last time we paid anything before Vincelot? Mowbray has control and can spend the money how he wishes.

Given that D&R turned down a bid of 300K from Charlton, it would be a startlingly bad bit of business for them if they settled for much less than that. I have been told 200K rising to 300K, but I know some people will absolutely refuse to believe it.

I remember at the time people refusing to accept it. It would be strange they turn down those bids to take ours (and the fact there were others trying to hijack the deal to get him)

'Too much' can just mean they don't think he is good value. A bit like Everton telling Man City £100m for Stones. I think they would get a 'Too much' back.

...onwards & upwards PUSB

I don't know, but paying such a fee goes against everything they stand for, it makes no sence
at all, why Buck the trend for this one player.

Because they believe he will be worth a couple of million in 18 months time.

That is what I was led to believe by D&R
100k upfront and 75k based on certain conditions plus % of any re- sale.

You seem almost disappointed that the club parted with a significant amount of cash for Jones. The mentality of some genuinely baffles me.

So the likes of Keiren Westwood, Scott Dann, Dan Fox, Aron Gunnarsson, Freddie Eastwood, David Bell, Carl Baker, Martin Cranie, Lukas Jukiweitz, Cody McDonald, Adam Barton, Remain Vincelot and Jodi Jones were all free transfers then?

There's probably more then I haven't listed

What bullshit is this now?
Mowbray and Venus made it clear that when they came here they wanted their own overall budget to do what they saw fit with it. This is what they got. So its their choice and their trade off to manipulate the budget between transfer fees, signing in fees, and wages.

So what does paying a fee for Jones have to do with SISU? Unless of course you're saying Mowbray is a liar....
But I guess logic doesn't fit with your "woe is me everything is the rich hedge funds fault" fantasy land does it

Yes, but it isn't 'policy', we paid cash for both Vincelot and Jones last season. It's a lack of funds and nothing to do with a strategic policy of never paying a transfer fee.

Your quite right it isn't a policy, I still find it hard to believe they paid a
6 figure sum for Jones, just my opinion.
But don't let my mentality worry you.

No I didn't know. You just said 'everything they stand for' meaning SISU.

All of those signings I mentioned we paid money for under SISU. Not forgetting free transfers which we paid agent and possibly signing on fees for.
