CONFIRMED Callum O'Hare - signs for Wrexham

[redandwhitewizard]

Don't worry we'll get him back when he's 35, injury prone and legs have gone.

When people can no longer afford the lifestyle they once had they might downsize their house , holiday less frequently or not replace the car as often is that asset stripping or simply living within their means ?

The club has a budget , we have rules around expenditure that they try to balance with being competitive and the expectations of supporters and their magic money tree.

Most want a club thats sustainable, to stay within the rules and will be here for generations to come but many want expenditure that risks it.

We cant have it all .

Its a balance we need to strike and do the best we can with what we have .

Ok so why did we spend loads of money on a load of shit cars/holidays/houses last season when we knew we would be in this financial situation now?

If you want balance, buying McGuinness, Matos, Chong and all the AI shite we spunked money on last season feels pretty unbalanced.

Now we’re in a situation where we’re lumbered with the shite car that doesn’t run, the house that’s falling apart and a holiday to Pontins, and we’ve had to sell O’Hare, Brooks and Hamer…

I honestly think no one at the club properly understood the incoming SCR rules. It would also explain why we panic sold Brooks before the new rules went live (we could book the profit in the current year, whereas under SCR you have to amortise incoming fees over the next 3 years).

Because you have to take risks in football when it comes to signings. Unless you have the money for guatanteed, proven players - you have to take risks.

Also - Hamer and Brooks were in the last years of their deals. They were always going to be sold. COH is currently the only unnecessary sale

 

[The Hobott]

This isn't just sour grapes but i did think he tended to run about in circles quite a bit

 

[YES Blade]

And if his form declines? Or he gets injured?

Sell Burrows? Peck? Seriki?

I’m sure if we’re desperate for cash we’ll find someone to sell

 

[NerdyBlade]

Sell Burrows? Peck? Seriki?

I’m sure if we’re desperate for cash we’ll find someone to sell

Have any serious bids come in for them?

 

[YES Blade]

Have any serious bids come in for them?

I’m sure we could sell anyone if the price is low enough.

 

[NerdyBlade]

I’m sure we could sell anyone if the price is low enough.

except we haven't, which is why we rejected the Seriki bid from Italy

 

[crucialkneeligaman]

We aren't facing a deduction - even Wednesdays number 1 fan Simon Jordan has said it's a commercial dispute

I really do wish people would stop banding the deduction around like its some confirmed thing

Facing a 12 point deduction, not we have a 12 point deduction, how is that confirming things. I do admire the fact though that you must be the only Blade that speaks up on behalf of the American shysters.

No, we aren't facing a deduction. Again, it has been thrown about but there's absolutely nothing concrete that we're even being threatened with one

I do admire the fact though that you must be the only Blade that speaks up on behalf of the American shysters.

I can guarantee you, I'm not speaking up nor defending them. What I am doing is looking at this logically, with the facts presented to me.

You know, how you're meant to?

 

[CPB]

Having a very quick look at a transfermarkt.

Wrexham will have spent by the end of this window 40m in euros.
Last season they ended up spending 39m in euros.

This is just fees. That is parachute payment type money being chucked about, without any sales.

I know they have good backers but how are they managing to navigate the spending rules?

 

[Blade56]

haha

Being discussed internally, not externally just internally.

Watching deadline day and I’m betting half a billion quid has exchanged hands this window and we can’t afford to keep what we’ve got

 

[Kev Gee]

Some serious lack of planning from COH sports or whatever they are called.

Unless the plan is to sell anything worth some £ and replace with loans and frees.

Serious problems this season ahead.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Nah, he'll retire at 33 to become a full time spice boy

 

[HeySethUTB]

Have we sold O’Hare already or are you just flouncing about something that hasn’t happened yet?

Yeah. He’s signed 3 year deal at Wrexham, option of a further year extension. £7m

 

[SB_90]

what is going on at the lane. i know from press conferences wilder is furious. he categorically stated no one will leave. but also we have looked pretty toothless upfront so now have sold our 3 best attacking talents

every year. there is a big team that drops or is in danger & i fear we are in big danger of this being us. any team losing hamer brooks & o'hare + our current form would struggle to score goals

 

[Captain Obvious]

Why are they in such a rush to sell before a replacement is in? …unless there won’t be a replacement.

Sponsorships, ownership injections, revenue

 

[HeySethUTB]

I just don’t get how we’re still discussing names. Targets should be lined up.

Because their income is gargantuan by Champ standards. Sponsors, TV money, owners funding. Financially, they're practically a PL Club.

 

[Chezzy Blades]

To be fair half our team can barely run so he was already head and shoulders above them..

 

[71Blade]

he was the only one capable of running for 100 minutes and not made of biscuits. yes he could frustrate, however big loss in my opinion !

Because the new rules (SCR = Squad Cost Ratio) mean you can spend 85% of your income on players, etc., and they have huge income from their TV shows, merchandise sales, and stuff like that.

because the club think we are all mongs and believe the hype... we tried, to be fair if they try as hard as the players any wonder we are where we are

Do you honestly think the stuff that's getting out into the press it's a live feed from the recruitment teams PC screens?

It's all bollocks, just to play the algorithm pantomime on one of the busiest days in the footballing calendar.

Obviously players are lined up. There's an A,B,C - Z list drawn up. Every one of those will have contingent elements at play. Every contingent will take time to play out. The 'we just missed out' is a real thing, not just a convenient excuse. The fact that we missed out because we couldn't find another million down the back of the sofa is beside the point. So many moving parts have to align and doing it on a budget means the finesse needed to align them is that much greater.

 

[Yogi]

haha

Presumably we just change the picture under that tweet most deadline days

 

[Booker4]

Will be interesting to see what reception he gets when he returns with Wrexham. I personally think k he owes us nothing as a free and tried his best. Dud well, especially last season.

Whether he engineered the move or not im not sure. He's a good player, definitely. Will be missed but I don't think he ever bonded with the fans as a favorite. A busy player bug not one that lit up the Lane, or scored screamers, or hard as nails etc, not that you'd ever expect the latter from an attacking mud. Shame he had to join Wrexham.

Especially the interview when he says all the usual crap about how joining Wrexham was his dream etc!
