Money to Burn?

[WF10BLADE]

So if DCL had gone for 1.4 million and CA went for almost 2 million that's around 3 million quid we've got to spend on transfers today?

In your fcukin dreams LS

Off into the blades black hole I'm afraid.

 

[Frecheville Blade]

Well, not really. I'd imagine we paid comfortably into 6 figures to pay off Woolford's contract, plus Lavery rumoured to have cost £150k in compensation.

I have a feeling we'll have around 1M tops to play with.

 

[Blade82]

Don't forget the Murphy money too

 

[Sothall_Blade]

We've got so much money now we've even been able to loan a striker to one of our promotion rivals instead of selling him.

 

[ZoneManWilf]

What's this about Dan Burn?

 

[Treeton Blade]

I just love transfer deadline day

 

[corkysbeard]

That went to pay the bills/loans!!

 

[Alfreton14Blade]

Starting to look like the pitch-narrowing procedure must have cost about £1m...

 

[Sothall_Blade]

The transfer committee are working hard behind the scenes

 

[Bladeinleeds]

Prepayment on wilders pay off in May imo

 

[Newbury Blade]

Where's the Mick Jones money gone, while you are at it.

 

[BushBlade]

We'll be OK once we've paid for the south stand.

 

[Smirth]

Not a chance it will be 1.4 million for DCL.

You know if McCabe has this masterplan of selling players to line his own pockets, why did he sell half of the cash-cow for a quid?

That's irrelevant mate. It's a common thing in business transaction

Yeah money to burn, but unfortunately it's already gone up in smoke

Thanks man, I understand the token value of the sale, I just don't understand why McCabe would sell half the rights to the river of cash that fills his lake year-in-year-out like some fans think is the case.

Because the next best offer was 75p?

 

[fatpat]

brought in ten players already this window. Whether you like those players is irrelevant in terms of slagging off the board. They have given him a more than competitive budget and backed him. However unless we sign another 6 today some will have usual hysterical reaction to deadline day.

Isn't it like me offering you a quid for a card to your current account, though?

 

[GrayBlade]

King Kev's given the issue of what to do with the welcome extra dosh considerable thought, and he's come up with a pretty solid solution.

 

[Barney]

You have to think that it's going to be one of the angriest responses to a deadline day if we don't get anyone or enough players in. Sitting 20th in the league, sold Adams for £1.7m, loaned Brayford and sold £1.4m for DCL. Whatever your views on those, everybody now expects that money to be sufficiently reinvested. I wait with interest.

 

[Fulwood Blade]

Off into the blades black hole I'm afraid.

Just interested in knowing if you think the "black hole" is used to pay staff and players wages?

I do..........perhaps some, (and I am not saying you do) think wages money grows on trees.

Presumably there is a cunning plan behind this current Transfer window, hopefully it will all come together before it slams shut. Our striker options appeared to be a strength and one area that needed cosmetic attention, is it now. As usual we have to wait and see but I am seriously struggling to see a cunning plan in fact I don't see a plan.

I think McCabe wants out and has done for some years - but- no businessman ever sells when the stock is low and our stock is lower than a snake's belly in a cart-rut right now.

McCabe sees this deal with the Prince as subsidising the money he has to put in to keep us afloat each year. That's the attraction. I think he could still sell out the whole lot to one single investor if the right deal came along. However, it would be better to do that if we were at Championship level as the attraction of the Prem and all its riches would be more likely to attract an investor willing to take a punt on us getting there in 1 or 2 seasons. A bit like what's happened at Wednesday.

Be interesting to see if Chansiri hangs around another season at S6 if they don't go up?

Actually Soprano already fell for that.
