Taking from peter to pay Paul my nan would’ve said
That’s why when big josh left I believe that was the sign the deal is dead
The Aussies (should they miraculously have found the investors required to bridge the gap ) would be bat shit crazy to buy this club and have no chance in getting in the players required to stabilize it until the next window opens
As the loan window closes at the end of August the deadline this week is less important. You can sign a player on loan with the deal becoming permanent in January.
The players left including Aribo and BFG aren't worth diddly if your paying £40million for the club. The only assets any "ambitious" buyer would interested in are the ground, the training ground and our golden share. As I have said time and again.
Excluding the Aussies.
Why would people with a "5 year plan" be so bothered about any of our current playing staff. In fact if it was me I would want clear title AND no long term liabilities.
Does the 5 year plan not become longer if we go down.
Yes......more like 7 or 8. How many current Premier League teams have spent time in the 4th tier of English football over the past 30 years ??? I expect NONE.
Off the top of my head golfie, Wolves, Burnley, Bournemouth and Blackpool recently albeit not current.

Without a miracle this season is going to be one where the only realistic aim is to maintain our status in this division. Promotion is a pipedream, even with a takeover in the next few weeks (yeah right) it would still be highly improbable due to how much work needs to be done.

Brighton, Fulham and Huddersfield as well.
Man City
I know they were in the 3rd tier, did they ever drop to the 4th?

Man City?
Lowest Man City got was 3rd tier in 98/99 but I forgot to mention Brighton who nearly went out of the Football League had it not been for a final day Houdini escape under the management of one Stevie Grit who is a legend with any seagull.
Good shouts also on Fulham and Uddersfield @Scoham

All player sales right now are a sign to me he is using the cash to pay the bills
Taking from peter to pay Paul my nan would’ve said
That’s why when big josh left I believe that was the sign the deal is dead
The Aussies (should they miraculously have found the investors required to bridge the gap ) would be bat shit crazy to buy this club and have no chance in getting in the players required to stabilize it until the next window opens
Some intriguing theories - indeed at the FF when I questioned whether the arrangement for player sales was like for like (off the asking price) I was told no but there was a ‘mechanism’ for dealing with it. Perhaps even the number of sales or positions or even named players or a combination of the above, that could be potentially sold was agreed? Might explain a lot, big assumption though of course, but it explains Bowyers assertion around the number of outs/ins, also explains the painful 2 weeks comment, although the real world is a different matter, but perhaps, perhaps...
Edit: the best part of this theory for me would be NLA being ‘wrong’..

Those sorts of numbers do show the complete financial mess Roland made of running the club
It also shows that calling him an "asset stripper" is inaccurate, as that would imply he's making money out of his ownership of us, when in reality what's he's doing is trying to reduce the losses he's made (caused by his mismanagement). When a club is losing money, either you have to put in money (from the owner or bank) to cover the losses OR you sell the family silver (i.e. players) to cover the losses...

I have no idea what any of those sentences mean.
Best I can do on a bus from Heraklion airport
Should've written it in Greek and given us a chance to comprehend it
Come onto this thread occasionally and I am now convinced this takeover is well and truly dead so we can look forward to the old fucker pillaging what is left.
