But it cost a bloody fortune just to play our games every season in league 1.ShootersHillGuru said:Said it before that I thought the rebuild would need to take a few windows. Build a real quality first eleven and decent alternatives. Much prefer signing two really good players each window and getting there over three windows. Fill in gaps with loans until the quality is reached.
Another "plan" that is completely invalid in league 1.
If we sign no more players we will probably lose nearer 10 than 5 million this season and rinse and repeat next season. It costs more to not spend money! If Roland had spent an extra 5 or so million in the slade season it would have saved him 15 in the long run.2 -
I don’t see Crewe selling Dale for £500k even if he has just the year left on contract. They’ll look to get more than that for him if they are even willing to sell or he wants to leave.0

You don't need to, our owner himself said it.superdulvertonred said:Cannot believe the number of unhappy people on here. We are in my opinion in a much better position than we have been for years. A engaged and enthusiastic owner who I don’t think anyone can argue against is laying solid foundations for the club to improve
A experienced and successful manager with a good back room staff.
I think we have made excellent acquisitions for this level so far and every confidence there will be more before the window shuts
Good academy players coming through who may not be ready to play a significant part in the first team yet but the future looks bright
And yet after a perfectly acceptable first league game and I agree a poor cup performance people are looking at relegation odds having a pop at the owner and manager writing off the new signings and the academy players and generally going into meltdown
I am not saying we will blow through this league but am confident we will be in the promotion picture at the end of the season
come on people less negatively on here COYR
Good post though, i agree with everything you've said.1 -

Care free signings are as dangerous as too few.
Players sold:
Joe Gomez £4.4m
Liverpool announced £3.5 million, Cafc said undisclosed but there were add-on's which have pushed the figure higher. For Cafc sake a fit Joe deciding he fancies living and playing in Paris and giving the ball to the star players may be beneficial for our money stream !
The reason given for the low figure was if it was too high it wouldn't have been signed by Joe. Multi sources reported this.

Exactly. Staff turnover in the first window will seem high as we get rid of the shite and bring in good talent on more sensible contracts. Then it should, go down with each window and level off at a normal rate for a stable football club.BR7_addick said:

It's been mentioned a few times that many clubs are struggling because of covid. Naturally earlier in the window if a player is worth (for example) 700k, the selling club will stretch it and ask for 1m. Buying club say no chance. Then the closer we get to the deadline the selling club are now faced with needing to sell to potentially have enough money to get through the season.MarcusH26 said:Weren't clubs being quoted £1m for just Dale earlier in the window? Maybe we've finally got to that stage of the window where it's take what's there
Buying club know this and come back with 500k. Selling club has no other option but to do a cut price deal in the next 2 weeks or risk not being able to afford to get through the next few months.4 -

then it's a done deal and he's our player and then we can allow him whatever length of compassionate leave we likethenewbie said:
I wonder what the rules are in that regard? Like, if a deal is agreed and signed between all the relevant parties (both clubs and the player) but for whatever reason there is a hold up on the actual physical move.Covered_End_Lad said:
In my opinion I don’t think Sheffield united were ever in for him. I think the delay was and is solely down to the awful fact his father has passed away.Scoham said:
Do you think there was no truth in him being linked to Sheff Utd?Covered_End_Lad said:Think Kirk is still pretty much done. Obviously the kid needs time to grieve.
Something like that could easily make him think he would rather stay with his family and move on next year instead, however the noises I’m hearing are suggesting he will still press on with the deal. Understandably he will want to take time to grieve and support his family before making that decision.
Like, what in other businesses would be compassionate leave or whatever, could we do the deal now but he doesn't necessarily join us in person yet.4 -
So he is still talking to the players that you said had signed for us 3 weeks, 2 weeks and 1 week ago?RonnieMoore said:
Gallen always done and still is the person who talks to players and agentsScoham said:
Unless things have changed Gallen does the negotiating?bobmunro said:
In my experience, this is how it should work.Dazzler21 said:Here's how ( I think) Transfers may be working.
1.
Adkins suggests the kind of players he needs, gives the requirements of what they MUST have and probably even names some that do the job of such players.
2.
Gallen goes out, taps up contacts and uses his relationships to find players that match Adkins requirements - Comes back to Adkins to check suitability
3.
When NA & SG are happy I'd hope it was straight to Sandgaard, but I fear this is where Roddy steps in. I don't get what he does, but he basically has to also ratify the signing before it can get to Sandgaard. Maybe he's acting as some sort of buffer to ensure we don't put forward signings over a certain price that don't add enough resale value etc?
4.
When it gets to Sandgaard I would assume the case is put forward on what the player brings, what their resale potential might be, how much we might need to spend to get them and whether they may or may not be able to make the step up.
Alternative
The other thing that may occur is you roll up the meetings where Gallen comes back to a 4-way between Adkins, Gallen, Roddy & Sandgaard and they thrash it out whilst chugging Monster's and listening to rap metal.
1. Owner (TS) sets the budget (transfer fee and wages)
2. Manager (NA) tells head of recruitment (SG) who/what he wants.
3. Head of recruitment draws up a shortlist
4. Manager reviews shortlist and selects those he wants to pursue.
5. Head of recruitment asks current club for permission to talk to player (yes, I know!!).
6. If player is interested the CEO (we don't have one but it could be Roddy in this instance) negotiates with player/club/agent within the confines of the budgets set in 1) above.
7. If agreement (within budget) is reached then player signs).
8. If agreement cannot be reached but manager wants to pursue further then CEO discusses budget with owner. If it can be increased then repeat 6) and 7).
9. If no agreement reached within an acceptable budget then all parties move on.
For us point 6 may be the issue.8 -
The deals are on the table .. as the club confirmed4
-
That is what I thought but I wasn't sure. Obviously as he's dealing with a lot right now even if he does end up signing here I'd like to think we'd give him time to be ready to actually play rather than throw him in the deep end - but wasn't sure about the legalities of contracts etc.LargeAddick said:

How do you know, Doughty was on loan at Bromley till he come back due to injuries and his life changed almost over night. And even if we haven’t currently got a Gomez/Lookman/Doughty we know full well we’ll have one soon, our academy is very good.cs1986 said:

Right now we have Deji who appears a talent. Of course our academy is excellent but right now none of them are worth a fiver. Maybe 2 or 3 years down the line we have another excellent batch that could be sold either well or on the cheap. Only then could you see of TS is similar.BR7_addick said:
