If we’re using player sales to fund operating losses then we’ll never progress.
No business is successful when its business model involves selling assets to plug operating losses. Eventually you run out of assets to sell.
That model is not working for our friends in the North East.Stop the mindset that player registrations are ‘assets’ and treat them more like stock. Bring in at cost price, add value and then sell. Thats how most goods and commodities businesses operate. Don’t get me wrong, you have to be hot in the market and buy/sell at the right time, but absolutely no reason that model can’t work.
Fans make you laugh …. Why isn’t king putting millions in ? Why bother buying the club ? And then in the same breath Why are season tickets going up ? Why are end of season awards nights going up ?
Fans spend other peoples money more freely than they spend their own …..
Not sure I agree about this, Kasper Schmeichel and the effect on Leicester,as proved by relegation after Rodger's not renewing him?It would be foolish to pass up on more attacking reinforcements to spend more money on keepers. Good teams with middling keepers can easily compete at the top of this division; middling teams with good keepers usually don’t.
Presumably the Hamer fee went on running costs?
Has King actually invested any money of his own?
Doug has invested. He has sorted out the training ground for starters. Expect an exciting summer. Last summers signings were beyond expectations and he had barely got his feet under the table. How many times did he break the transfer fee record for the club again? The bar is set high now.
A piece of glass at Ryton?Give us something free please.
Your budget should br higher because you beg for free stuff on twitter.
Give us something free please.
Just find it weird that a 'know it all' super fan has to beg for free stuff on the internet. Get a job
You gonna beg for a free season ticket next year? What excuse you gonna make up?
Just find it strange that a self proclaimed super fan tries to get free stuff, at least the smelly hatters pay their way.
Didnt beg but anyway
Ironic really, a man who has enough time to make numerous logins on here daily claiming someone else needs a job
You’ve got the wrong person you loser
Oh no, ruined my day that
Brentford, Brighton, Bournmouth, Luton and Sheffield utd showed us what can be achieved with good management rather than millions of pounds.As others have mentioned not sure Doug has put anything into the playing squad just reinvested transfer money.
Theres nothing wrong with that, it’s the way clubs should be run. The problem is we’re in a league distorted by parachute payments and owners fronting huge losses making it a real challenge to break through the glass ceiling.
The improvements at the trading ground are welcome and the commercial side of the club is definitely being ran better.
Will be interesting to see the season ticket prices I suspect we’ll see a significant rise. My worry is that it becomes unaffordable for some and we actually see a drop off in gate revenue.

No idea, not sure if it will ever become clear over time either. That isn't to knock him really either, things are going well currently and the club has a much better feel to it now. However, i dont see us spending big sums this summer without some fairly big departures or an unexpected investor coming in like has happened elsewhere.
Cross Bournemouth off that list - they spent multi-millions to achieve promotion due to their Russian benefactor.Brentford, Brighton, Bournmouth, Luton and Sheffield utd showed us what can be achieved with good management rather than millions of pounds.
For the first time in decades the owner of the club shares the same philosophy as the manager, that is quite unique here, and gives me real hope that with a couple of quality signings, we can now expect at least a top 6 finish next season, rather than just hoping for one.
So how did he buy the club?
I dont think its a selling to fund model in that respect, more of if you get an offer you cant refuse then reinvest and go again. He must have a fund for the club somewhere as he bid 20 million for the stadium and business and that would have needed financing. We do have to go again this summer and I just think its how we use it and if its supplemented further via the Gyokeres sell-on. Its also if the players were bought on instalments rather than outright, if its the former there could be more room for maneuver then we think.
And Mason Clark I presumeTraining ground and Torp
'It's our Club, ownership is only temporary'. Is something else we as fans say. But like you said, moan like hell when we are asked to support the club financialy.Fans make you laugh ….
