We're totally buggered aren't we

[Cheeky Blade]

For the quality we need etc the reality might be that those loans don’t happen until end of window etc

That might be reason we haven’t stumped up wages, we can’t get the players until near end of window

Maybe…though I suspect there will be no loans at all unless we sell others to pay the wages.

I think the fact we gave Campbell a new deal probably suggests that what’s happening with Prince won’t lead us down the Wendy road

If the owners had no intention to put anymore into the club and happy to sell and just walk away etc etc then it makes zero sense to give a new deal to Campbell, it’s not like he will have agreed to drop his wages so surely that has to suggest something

I hope you’re right

We don’t know.

We sold Brooks and Hamer for over £10 million and brought in a kid on loan ( minimum wages), some oldies as usual and offered a new contract to Campbell, who has obviously been struggling for awhile.

It looks bare bones to me.

I can’t see any reason why Campbell would drop his wages to stay, especially given how he clearly wasn’t staring every week last season or pre season under wilder

Why take less and still not play much football

Hamer was about getting some money at end of contract, Brooks could be selling a kid who wanted out and wouldn’t stay and maybe wilder wanted him gone

Your a bit light on the valuations

Dunno what we got up front but payments will be spread over length of contracts. So all the fee probably not available immediately.

Outgoings get spread awell

They do.

The question being whether the owners want to commit to them going forwards or use the money elsewhere. ie: to purchase the club or running costs or some such.

I don’t think anyone can contest we are skint.

I suspect much was/is loans against ‘future income’.

Some kind of leveraged takeover.
