And tell Joy and Tim to give him the power to offer oHare , Walsh, Godden , and Kelly whatever they want and to make sure City are back at the Ricoh next season !

I actually think players want to be here now! We don't need to offer stupid money. The lure of good football/coaching at a progressive club should be enough to convince the sort of players we want.
Agreed, although I think the fact Walsh and O'Hare have been immense will mean that their clubs won't be quite so accommodating in letting them go permanently. Fingers crossed though. Absolutely buzzing tonight.

I think we will end up signing Walsh.
Not sure about O'Hare but if surplus to requirements at Villa I think he will join too
Add another CB, CM and 2x STs and we could have a decent season. Staying up is the priority!

We've been improving players for a while now, especially compared to the dark days! Difference is now we can charge Championship-Premiership transfer fees to help our business model. We're less of a stepping stone now. It's a huge day for the club!
Several things going for us.
Feel good factor
Hopefully half of The Championship teams will be knackered financially through loss of income (particularly compared to us)
I would think a lot of Championship teams will have a weird end of season, before having to possibly restart again quickly for the 20/21 season - potentially picking up more injuries than usual, whereas we can have a more structured 'normal' build up.
MR is likely to have more planning time than some managers to prepare for new signings.
Finally, Callum O'Hare wants to come and play for us (made this bit up, but fingers crossed!)

I think the other way round. Walsh is class, Bristol City know it. O'Hare is a bit younger and a bit more raw. Oh, and he's out of contract. Although we'd have to pay a tribunal fee.

That twitter video from O'hare make me believe its more then just a loan for him, he clearly loves it here and 90% sure he will sign. How many other loan signings have you seen show the club so much love
Can't dispute any of that. Cannot wait for next season.

Lots of teams with losing mentalities for us to rip through!!!! Fuck, is this really happening?!!
He won't be 'surplus'. Their expected relegation will yield the natural shedding of high earners/under performers and of course Jack Grealish.
I've heard O'Hare probably won't sign at Villa even though he's been offered a deal
He will have a number of options so there will competition for his services for next season

Hope he gets a good welcome when he returns as a Brizzle player though
I don't think it's ALL about salary for him (otherwise he'd probably sign at Villa). Think he wants to be playing regularly. We probably have a chance but depends what other clubs are willing to offer him.
I would guess £20 grand a week if it’s normal - villa I assume offered existing terms so there will be I assume a fee as well
Don't know
It will depend on whether he is talking to Championship or Premier League clubs
Lyle Taylor who has declined to play in Charlton's remaining games apparently has 12 clubs interested including Burnley and West Brom who are both likely to be PL teams next year
I suspect O'Hare's agent will be trying to drum up PL offers
If O'Hare how to the PL it won't be as a starter. He's not in the Lyle Taylor bracket yet.
Hopeful we will have some sort of budget. And transfers or wages may take a dip too accross the footballing world
Whatever team we assemble they have to come out fighting none of this just promoted let’s survive the league crap , go out be brave win and be a winner , it’s so important
And I’d be surprised if we do. Is it realistic to defer a new signing’s wages for 3-6 months?
We are guaranteed TV and solidarity revenues in excess of this seasons playing budget (~7m) and I am sure we still have some of the McCallum money sitting in the bank.
Sisu have been more than happy to advance monies whenever it is needed via short term loans - we will be able to get whatever reasonable business done that needs doing.
Naturally getting season/video tickets on sale asap should be a priority as well...
Boddy said yesterday tv revenues are not guaranteed until the outcome of the new season is known. Might be a lot less than we expect
But will be the same for everyone else. And most of those will have players on far more expensive contracts than us.
