But, as I mentioned in one of the other threads, I’m not sure the value to builders is a real threat. There’s a reason Scarborough aren’t building it themselves and have pimped it out. It’s not a great site with an amazing return, if it was they’d be already on with it.Presumably the plot is up for sale with planning permission in place for a number of flats. So if the club are interested then they have to offer more than any builder / developer that might want to pay to build it out….and then hope that Scarborough are more interested in money than grudges. Time will tell.

I suppose in hindsight asking about Billy Sharp may have been a slight waste of a question, I’ll hold my hands up.
Sounds like Berge leaving was a forgone conclusion from the start of the window, maybe that’s why he waited til day before window closed to get his replacement in. I bet Burnley couldn’t believe we weren’t taking their cut down offer at the start of the window, knowing that we’d maybe need some time to get his replacement ready.
I thought the show was excellent, credit to both Radio Sheffield and Stephen Bettis.
The phone lines being down probably improved the show. There were still some good questions asked via text message (or whatever) so it didn’t really need live callers anyway.
Rob Staton conducted the interview brilliantly, got through a lot of questions.
Stephen Bettis didn’t shirk answering any questions and hearing from him again reinforces my opinion that we are lucky to have him here. I think he’s a smart fella, realistic and honest.
I feel more positive after listening to it anyway.
Strange response but each to their own. Was just giving my opinion on the interview.Great, champions next season.
Our failure to plan ahead with contracts and move the club forward in general caused the problem of selling out best 2 players and also the amount of players now coming to the end of their contracts this season
Can catch up here.
Fair play to bettis for fronting up in front of a journalist rather than YouTuber.
Our best 2 players WERE offered new contracts but for their own reasons, decided not to sign them.Our failure to plan ahead with contracts and move the club forward in general caused the problem of selling out best 2 players and also the amount of players now coming to the end of their contracts this season
Wilder having a ‘major say’ in recruitment is important in the context of the question being asked (about the need (or otherwise) for the appointment of the separate position of Head of Recruitment). It has no bearing on the preferred length of his contract.Bettis on the squad rebuild today: "the club are of the opinion that Chris Wilder, in this instance, will and should have a major say in bringing in players and that adding another person on top of the Head of Recruitment may only serve to complicate matters."
So given that Wilder is having such a "major say" and it's such a huge squad rebuild, then surely it warrants asking if its wise to only have one year left on the managers contract?
Not in my notes were;So does anyone have a summary, or does Addison's post cover pretty much everything mentioned?
On second thoughts, we need people like you in charge.Great, champions next season.
Shy of someone else stumping up lots of cash, what would you do?Sad and defeatist interview that could well herald another summer shitshow.
He just shrugged his shoulders and offered nothing of substance, pretty much in tune with the team's efforts this season. We just drift along, unable to help losing our best players, unable to help ourselves from negotiating the sale of the club to absolute goons, unable to do anything but accept we can't compete.
Worrying times ahead.
Not in my notes were;
things
The recent loan is surely just about cash flow, as premiership money isn’t paid up front.To me this just all seems such a strange situation we find our club currently in.
On the one hand it appears we’re skint. Even though we may have cleared debt due to promotion and PL revenues, but didnt I read that the club have taken out a further charge recently, which I guess is guaranteed against future income? (parachute payment)
On the other hand. We’re laying out monies on the hotel, buying the HSBC land and looking to negotiate the Scarborough holdings land
The above doesn’t really make sense, unless of course a takeover, or at least investment is definitely forthcoming?
Bettis reckons we’ll know one way or the other by early summer. I’m hoping it’s more like a done deal but he just can’t say anything
The recent loss is surely about cash flow, as premiership money isn’t paid up front?
Hotels and training grounds are surely part of a long term plan that so many people say we do none of?
To me, it reads like got the funds, but not the cash flow until future payments are received.Fair doos but I still find it odd alcoblade
Whilst I admit I don't fully understand the role of a "Director of Football", I'm still suspicious of what our recruitment strategy is going forward.
Since Wilder's arrival in 2016 we have made some terrific signings, particularly the cheap ones (JOC, Didsy, Fleck, Baldock, Duffy), some not as great but not super expensive (Anel, Egans, Norwood) but then the worrying BIG money spends (Brewster, McB, Mousset, Berge) of which we have nothing to show for.
Got to do something different.
Or try and do more of the first two examples and cu my out the third. My assumption is that Wilder and the owner believe they know where they went wrong, hence why they’re trying again.Whilst I admit I don't fully understand the role of a "Director of Football", I'm still suspicious of what our recruitment strategy is going forward.
