Gone Elsewhere Anel

[Youngand70]

The "Lord of the Punters" was previously quoted as saying that he has the full backing of "Board" and good old "Steven", plus "we are in a good place".

Another load of utter bullshit!!!

 

[Billyblade]

Confirmed
Burnley?
Twat

 

[AdamSufc1997]

What a joke we'll end up with another head on a stick

 

[LiamBG]

And that’s how it’s done. Player available, bid goes in yesterday and it’s completed today. Congratulations Burnley, really well run, forward thinking club.

This season's McBurnie

Excellent

Well done again United

[sportsmanblade]

does that mean the money owed to us will be paid then now ?

 

[DifferentClass]

He's going to Soton.

 

[JoeG]

This one stings a lot

 

[Spadge54]

Get these Americans out of our club

 

[Thrice]

A talented player still in his prime that actually wants to come here for a fee that's more than reasonable and the club can't get it done. These owners are quickly losing the entire fanbase.

Doesn’t even need to be forward thinking. That’s the basics of a football club during a transfer window. I’ve seen glaciers move quicker than us when it comes to signing players. Though no clubs come close when it comes to announcing sponsorships.

 

[FTPE]

Useless c***s

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

It would have broken their rules - they only spend decent money on pure garbage

 

[The Fox]

It was reported we were still owed £4m from the sale and could have him for 4m , effectively free...
But even if true that £4m is in the budget paying wages of players we have. Anels wages and contract ( perhaps £3m ) is in effect a £7m commitment so not so free.

Burnley have their £50m parachute ,we have £0m parachute .

Its easy to see why we weren't in the running

 

[Younger Dryas Blade]

If Souttar deal is dead why not get Anel, smaller fee (potentially) and wants to come back ,according to earlier post

Souttar too expensive, Anel too expensive as a plan B, currently in talks with Paul Beesley and he's um and arr ing.

 

[Guesty]

We were never in for him, he's not that good at the back and our obsession with former players is crippling us as much as the current ownership is. It's not a big deal.

 

[Deadbat]

Yet Hall said we refused to sign off on it and the player wanted to come back....that and he's on double the wages we can offer!

He left us for a bigger wage. A year later he ain't coming back for far less.

That's just where we are at (regardless of owner issues) losing parachute payments and new financial rules means it was pipe dreams to sign Anel back even if they still owed us money...the wages were way off our budget.

Wilder admitted he was a good player and we needed a centre half but thats quite different to actually us being able to realistically sign him. He should never have said anything- ditto with all his comments about Souttar. Just makes fans have unrealistic hopes.

Hall whipped up the fans into thinking it was close. It never was. Fans just got played really by lots of tabloid type stories by the Star.

A really damning analysis.

Yet there’s a thread somewhere on the forum insisting that we dodged a bullet when we weren’t taken over by ALK Capital, just because they have the audacity to be a PE house and finance the club through debt, leveraged against the assets.

I’m so glad we got Abdullah and COH instead, just look how much further forward we are under their consecutive stewardship approaches.

 

[Æthelstan]

Don't like football anymore

 

[john Mathison]

There is no transfer budget for permanent signings. We have been fed a load of , you know what. Free's and loans only. Feel sorry for those that bought season tickets, thinking of a major rebuild.
Educated guess is, we will never see our owners at BDTBL again.

 

[Whitby-Blade]

Every ounce of enthusiasm l had for this season has been drained in the last week or so. Wilder said after the Brum match that we need a centre back, Anel left on good terms etc, presumably a plea to the owners asking to be backed?

I’ll be there week in week out as always but my word things are depressing at the minute. Looks like we’re going to Swansea with COH out on the left wing because we don’t have one in the squad so we nullify one of our key players. WTF

[Balti Pie]

Today's press conference wil be interesting. I'm guessing Chris will not be a happy bunny - whether he'll be able to hide his dismay, we'll see.

 

[Sithblade]

No tugging the shirt stuff from Burnley.

 

[Iffy Onuora's Shiny Head]

No tugging the shirt stuff from Burnley.

I mean fair play thats funny and good.

Maybe we can do one using "a few good men" to give an update on all our court proceedings

Very good

New signings have to come on to a stage and do The Full Monty.

Don't be using common sense and grown up thinking!!

Having him running round like a headless chicken and being out muscled by people half size is the last thing this defence needs!! Imagine him Seriki and Tanganga in the same defence?!?!?!
