AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Some of the last decade is unbelievable, really. Considering the stature of club we should be. Imagine if someone took over Spurs now, installed Paul Merson as manager and got them relegated. This is the kind of thing we're talking about Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Geordie Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Listening to the podcast now. Ta for sharing With regards to this transfer window, it looks like yet another window where he's spent very little money. The arsehole. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mistle17 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 3 loan signings in January window- all outgoings covered! Can't believe I ever doubted this guy. We're doing so well to compete considering we're a tiny little broke club with a huge fanbase, stadium, history, and tradition! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Might be hopeful straw clutching but does anyone think we're bringing so many loans in because he doesn't want to put another penny into a club he's selling in the summer? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 He wouldn't be putting any more of his money in. It's the club's money - money that is guaranteed to come in during the summer (PL competing fee) - that he is refusing to spend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the club's money - money that is guaranteed to come in during the summer (PL competing fee) - that he is refusing to spend. I worded it badly. Is it because he wants to top up whatever bid near to £300-350m that comes in with the club's money left over from this season that he hasn't allowed to spend on transfers and then sell and run?

FustinoSolano Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I don't claim to know the wages of the players incoming / leaving but to loan out 8 and bring in 3 suggests to me that the wage bill will be significantly reduced, even if it is for just 6 months. No outlay on transfer fees, guess who wins again! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minhosa Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 My guess is that he's prettying the books by not heavily investing in either transfers nor wages. I'd say we've near enough broken even over that window, certainly in terms of wages. All reinforces the fact that he's very much on the market with it. That said, should we go down, he'll have risked everything for the sake of a few million quid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

biggs Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 So are we up for sale ? Confused as fuck and what has happened to these bids that have been made by various consortiums ? Is Staveley out the picture now or deliberating another bid when the new T.V deal comes in ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Staveley out the picture now or deliberating another bid when the new T.V deal comes in ? It's all very mysterious. St James Holdings made the official statement to say we were up for sale but haven't said anything about it all being off. All we've had is that crap via SSN, which i don't think was officially apportioned to anyone, just 'a source' and then Amanda Staveley's response saying that they are still interested.

Is Staveley out the picture now or deliberating another bid when the new T.V deal comes in ? Staveley has either put in another bid since Ashley’s outburst or is preparing one. She’ll be back for us, it maybe after the TV deal, after safety is confirmed (if it happens, and happens before the end of the season), or in the summer.

Carlito Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 So are we up for sale ? Confused as f*** and what has happened to these bids that have been made by various consortiums ? Is Staveley out the picture now or deliberating another bid when the new T.V deal comes in ? Staveley has either put in another bid since Ashley’s outburst or is preparing one. She’ll be back for us, it maybe after the TV deal, after safety is confirmed (if it happens, and happens before the end of the season), or in the summer. I'd like to imagine she's preparing another one at the very least. On the other hand for all we know she could have submitted it but Ashley is still ignoring her. It took 3 months to hear about the original 3 bids when she revealed it in that interview. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
