Was he at Worcester when Pressley’s clowns made them famous?

By one I hope you mean high earners Waghorn, Kane and Walker.
Think posative about the key players.

Ah, 2009. Guillaume Beuzelin, James McPake, Stephen Wright’s signing, eating next to Coleman and Elliot at the Saxon Mill, and now Dave Boddy leaving Worcester.

What a year

I was thinking that. I assume Derby still owe clubs for signings they made (Arsenal?)

Yes , it’s not always about the size of the offer being made , it’s how that offer is structured and about the club making the offer

Do release clauses usually need to be paid in full or can they also be staggered?

Been out all night so just catching up. Glad to hear the deal has fallen through, hope that we manage to keep O’Hare although imagine we still have to brace ourselves for Burnley coming back in once they’ve sold Cornet and/or McNeil.

You’re on the naughty step @better days

Exactly. It's like offering credit terms to a customer. Wouldn't do it if they were crippled with debt

Is there a concern that if we’re unable to find an acceptable deal for Hamer or O’Hare this window that we might try and sell Gyokeres?

I’m unsure , but I guess they would be staggered to help cash flow and clubs not wishing to commit to large payments

If the deal is dependent on a Cornet sale, then we've got to hold out for 99 (m) Anything else wouldn't feel right

No he’s not playing hardball he can’t sell him to pay the loan off.

He’s out his depth. He’s sanctioned pay rises in January and assumed he’d get the release clause in either contract and other clubs don’t rate them at that value. It’s getting close to a Jimmy holmes incident

We overvalued and can’t sell. We are losing £100k every week and he assumed we could make it up in a transfer

We can’t as the offers are nowhere near what he needs

Meanwhile we have a league 2 commercial set up. I tried and even spoke to Tynan Scope about sponsoring players last year and he never responded and it’s still 2019 offers on the website - promised we’d get a contact for this season. Nothing

our ticket strategy is hopeless our marketing is useless

He presents a cuddly caring face. He’s signed players like Kelly on extended deals, agreed contracts for players who will never play again as they are hopeless. We have a turnover which matches wages before other costs, a declining lease with no plans for a new stadium

Yeah I mean what’s not to like

As much as I’d like him to stay I do wonder if this means we aren’t able to pay off debts or we just have to accept an offer for one of the others? Or he goes later in the window with less time to find a replacement.

It’s really quite easy I don’t know what you’re struggling with.

if we are selling him - we have no ambition and the model is broken and we will never get anywhere

if we are not selling him - boddy is incompetent and we can’t get what we want for him

The celebratory mood is a little too soon, there’s still weeks left of the window and if it’s true we’re not in a position to not sell, we could end up selling an important player for a cut price at the end of the window.

Now personally I think he's been alright with us - much to my surprise as Worcester was indeed a disaster, and Newport was not great either (he joined them, incidentally, halfway through their promotion to football league season so had nothing to do with that, it was some bloke winning the lottery and putting his cash into them that did that!). Here has been alright results wise and also he comes across better than the rather... elite equivalents at Wasps etc.

Ultimately however any issues with the club are because of the owners. A CEO can't change them, the owners make all the decisions that count, and whoever's beneath them, that won't change.

In terms of strategic direction of the club, given the constraints we're under, Fisher keeps showing he's actually been right each time, doesn't he. One of the best chairmen we've ever had - two Wembley appearances, two promotions, a league title.

Hated by Worcester fans but their club had been a basket case for years. Havent a clue about the others and dont really care.

I havent really an opinion on Boddy except he is an improvement on Fisher (which wouldn't be hard to do).

We are being run by SISU so we have two hands tied behind our back. But I look at other football club owners and I dont fancy many of them either. So I don't know what the answer is do you?

Players get sold. But transfer fees are staggered so they are not the big windfall fans often think. At some point all 3 will leave. It just depends what we get for them - we might get nothing .
