When I go on the latter thread, I like anyone who is saying they are not going to renew their season ticket until the current "management" (I use the word loosely) has gone. I strongly believe starving the club of money will be the thing that finally forces Douchbag out. Yet by doing this, we are undoubtedly making sure that Jimmy Tarbuck will not be able to sign any of the players he has identified as the ones who will form the basis of a promotion challenging team as there is no money for him to sign those players. (Especially as it looks fairly clear that Douchbag will not put his hand in his pocket to do it).
Not sure about this. Even if 5000 don't buy S/Ts then that is (approximately) 5000 x average £200 or £1M. In the scheme of things that's not a massive amount of money against the running costs and existing debt. Will it really force him to sell up?
I wouldn't be so bothered about no signings if Robinson hadn't said he'd have at least four before he went away.
Also I suspect the big fuss about offering Holmes a new deal is to tempt lapsed season ticket holders to decide to renew their seat before it goes on sale on Monday.

and the fact that we got over £7m for Lookman just 5 months ago & didn't spend any of it, Therefore the lack of money can not be the problem.
Leak contract offer then say "we tried" when he leaves.
As I've said previously, I've got it from a good source that this contract offer is paltry.
Even if they try and spin it this way, it can always be spun back that had they not been so incompetent and got us relegated from the Championship then we would've been able to compete with the likes of Leeds and Sheff Utd
There will be signings this summer, but unless our scouting is shit hot, they won't be very good and they won't cost a lot of money.
We have now become something RD must support at minimal expenditure until a buyer can be found. He wants out, but is too pigheaded to realise that out may mean taking a massive loss. He's clinging to ideas about keeping the ground or whatever to try and recoup the losses, but as Henry Irving says, he bought the wrong club, in every sense it would seem.
We must wait it out and see how far his ego will take him on this journey
Tedious , beyond belief . After the last two dire summers (and probably 7 out of the last 9) , I can't believe anyone is really expecting anything exciting

Make the offer after the transfer window closes.
He can leave next year.
