And Shipley

So that's a 0/4 hit rate, impressive.
Click to expand...

no I didn’t. I’d love to see the link

i said the club couldn’t afford to sign Bidwell without shipping someone out. I assumed it was going to likely be Dabo but he was injured

I never mentioned Moore or Gyokeres do that’s a lie

I’m the end they had to get Walker out to pay for Bidwell

we rejected the offer for Shipley as wanted more money - that’s a cast iron fact

When they were benched you said the Moore to Villa rumours may be true and said you wondered if Gyokeres was going to be sold.


You also said Gyokeres wasn't crucial, then said he was a flash in the pan who was regressing... Then a few weeks later said he's a special talent that you've always rated.

nope I didn’t say he was going I said he’d be fed up at being benched and it was a flippant comment as I also scoffed that Villa would even look at gin

interesting deflection this - are you a Sisu employee?

I know there are oriole they employ to look at negative comments on threads and have people trying to rebuff them

How do you know they employ people that look at negative threads, that's just codswallop, what's the salary, or is RFC their spy!

Interesting deflection from you more like.

You went from 'Gyokeres is a flash in the pan and regressing' to 'Gyokeres is an unbelievable talent that I've always rated' in the space of two weeks

no I didn’t but hey ho. I said his goalscoring had dried up and they could be the case

I’m still waiting as to how you think Sisu will fund any transfers without selling players in the summer

How will they pay the EFL loan in addition?

I think we deserve an answer

Also it’s worth noting PVA preferred biamou to Gyokeres and yes I actually provide evidence rather than unsubstantiated ramblings

Biamou - new contract

I very much doubt Biamou is on anything like 4k. It's not really a particularly hot take. I would Biamou is closer to 4k then 1k (more likely 2.5-3k). I'm basing it on an initial average L2 wage, 2 promotion wage rises, new contract while in L1 (rise) and 3 yearly incremental wage rises. Jones...

Is our problem with the low playing budget the need to keep within the FFP limits?
I guess @olderskyblue might be able to enlighten us

you seem to be getting very angry

you’ve already stated you preferred Biamou and also have pointed out that he should be dropped as he hasn’t scored for three months

Again can you explain how we set a budget to sign players next season and pay back tbe EFL loan - I’ve asked you 3 times now

I haven't stated that.

You have stated that he's a flash in the pan and regressing. The called him an unbelievable talent a few weeks later.

You're all over the place and your football opinions are utterly worthless. And fucking hilarious at times.

Seriously what the fuck are you on about?

How is that proof of me stating Biamou is better than Gyokeres? Have you had a bang to the head?

That was me saying that Gyokeres hadn't scored for 3 months so it was understandable that he got benched for a game.

I showed you a link where you said you didn’t want to sign him. Your links show me praising him and a caveated comment about him maybe being a flash in the pan during a match thread

I’ll ask for the 5th time as you clearly have a massive financial brain so much more than I could ever aspire to - what is the plant to fund transfers next season and pay the EFL loan? Help me out come on I need to understand the hedge fund philosophy as I clearly have it wrong

MR is looking at his squad and already will have an idea of who he will fight to keep and who he will work to move on. That process has already started. The inclusion of Tavares and Dananga yesterday was forced, but could be an look into the future come summer and beyond as to who is on his plans. He has to blend homegrown in to the nucleus of his squad and hopefully find a few gems in the process. He also has to take risks on younger players from premier clubs with the same theory in mind.

It's simple really, if a kid has potential and can perform better than a senior player who is on 5 times as much in wages we all know who is push on and who is pushed out. It's brutal but it's football and it's business that sentiment has no place, its just an evolving process to improve a club.

MR has done that and I seriously think we will be actively moving 12 players out and starting with 15 players he sees who can help him progress to the next level. I also think out will include 1 of the big 3 come summer, which I'd take to keep the other 2. MR has created a culture that is bringing results more wins, more fans and more expectations. With that he knows he needs more quality, that takes time to bring in and time to produce a high level of youngster. It's a good time to be a fan and we should enjoy seeing it, sadly some will go but keeping MR and staff will be key and the most important come summer. For that he needs support and trust from the owners and patience from the fans.

Absolutely incredible progress. On and off the field.

When teams around us are getting hit with point deductions, we’re now financially comfortable.

Whilst on the pitch it has been an absolute joy. Some of the football we have played, especially this season, has been unreal and our never-say-die attitude is a long way from some of the previous champiship days where we were weak, soft and had a losing mentality.

Such a turn-around all over.
