That's my main gripe!
Trying to sign a free agent.
"We can't afford his wages"
"What wages?"
And people talking about us not being able to afford a players wages as if they are going to expect their current wage for the rest of their career, even if they are in decline or in need of a fresh start.
nothing more then just a name but IF vik was to go, what about trying to go for Josh Maja

We could do that, IF we'd agreed to sell one of our assets for more than £3m after securing a replacement first.Hull City have put a bid in of £3m for Scott Twine. Strong statement of intent from them.
Cut it down to 50% then. Still results in £4.6m (or £90k per week) extra on the wage budget at the peak.
Again, appreciate there’s other elements such as signing on bonuses, possible transfer fees, contract extensions, etc. Though you’d hope that the only contract extensions would be for those who carry value.
We could do that, IF we'd agreed to sell one of our assets for more than £3m after securing a replacement first.
Eg, we buy Twine today for £3m, and sell O'hare tomorrow for £4m
That would be seen as normal business, hardly a statement of anything.

Did Emerson join once the season started after a LC game against Rotherham? Pickering signed for Don McKay the season before (just looked it up), but Dave Philips signed that summer too.Culpin was before that
Nick Pickering and Dean Emerson?
That should just be called the playing budget.Same as people talking about transfer fees and wages as if they come out of different pots
4 players of similar quality…. if only, Hamer is a very very good player and we can just find 4 more of him thru one transfer, Champions League in a couple of seasons then.Definitely.
We should be looking to sell Hamer and replace with 4 players of similar quality though. Not 1 player and deal with it as has been alluded to.
I'm just pointing out that just because someone bids a serious amount for a player, it doesn't make it a statement.I hope to god you don't run a business.
Yet!They haven’t sold anybody of note to my knowledge?

As previously shown with Kelly, Allen, Godden that isn't the case. But hopefully with them having more in available funds, the club won't feel so inclined to retain players that have zero sell-on value.

Personally, with how we operate - i.e. SISU's only form of investment being short-term high-interest loans - I think our wage bill can realistically only be constructed mainly from consistent sources of income. E.g. Commercial and ticketing revenue, TV money, F&B and sponsorship.
If we get ourselves into a situation of using received transfer fees as a basis from which to establish a wage budget then that's more likely than not to land us in hot water as there's far too many uncertainties and irregularities in football to rely on transfer fees as a consistent source of income and to subsidise a growing wage bill.
He was €1.5m and nobody else seemed to be interested in him. We should be able to do that again.4 players of similar quality…. if only, Hamer is a very very good player and we can just find 4 more of him thru one transfer, Champions League in a couple of seasons then.

More chance that we will sell them Michael Rose for Van Dijk money.Leeds receiving numerous offers from clubs for Phillips potentially a bidding war could increase our fee for Hamer
Let’s say we’re at max right now
That’s not gambling that is called having an Investment plan. That’s exactly what they should have.They should be gambling on getting us to the prem, it's now or never really with robins in charge cos when he goes we'll drop like a sack of shit.
And no, I'm not talking putting players on 30k a week and spending ridiculous sums or doing a Derby. Just sensible investment into young players with potential and resell value that we can then buy other players with. The sounds coming out of the ITKs indicate that even if we sell Hamer for say £6m plus robins won't get anything and that is very worrying.
No it isn't if you budget in a specific way spreading the transfer fee across multiple years ensuring you don't spent it it's absolutely fine.Transfer fees received are unlikely going to enhance our ability to increase our wage bill, not significantly anyway.
As that's completely unsustainable and one sure way for the club to bankrupt itself.
But it would seem they don't if any of the fees we may receive aren't reinvested.That’s not gambling that is called having an Investment plan. That’s exactly what they should have.
Of course they all know exactly what he will and won’t be given more than anyone within the club.I don't think its a matter of keeping the big 3, more of a concern on what sort of budget Robins will get to reinvest, if some people on here are to be believed it will be very little
Yes but even if it was sorted in his head weeks ago , robins and co will have still thought they had a chance until A couple of days ago , whereas now it turns out he was just stringing us along - so it would’ve been a slight setback to recruitment etcI’m banking on a hunch that MRs meeting with Sepalla a month or so ago and then signing a contract extension was a result of a bit of positivity from Joy, Robins has a bit of clout but also I reckon realistic, certain he would have outlined his plans and ideas and costed them to her, let’s wait and see what occurs don’t put too much on missing out on JCS London boy, London club, probably sorted in his head weeks ago.
Not at all concerned about JCS he was obvious speculation because of his association last season, We will never know but I reckon Robins knew the out come ages ago good player but no Bobby Moore, certain there will be other irons in the fire.
He was €1.5m and nobody else seemed to be interested in him. We should be able to do that again.
Because they run outdated models based on the manager picking up players he’s heard of instead of having data analysts highlight targets that are outside of normal targets.So, why isn’t everyone signing the next big thing for €1.5m given it’s so easy we should be able to do it again? Seems a very simple investment. Spend 4x €1.5m and sell for €10m each. Hopefully no other fans read this forum or they’ll be on to it
