    Yep Wrexham will be fine spent loads of money and strengthened.

    Takes their summer spending to nearly £35m

    He’s from round here, his old man is a school teacher.
  • Why would he want to leave a high flying Coventry to join Wrexham?
  • https://www.southamptonfc.com/en/news/article/jelert-agrees-season-long-loan-deal

    Southampton sign Danish U21 fullback Elias Jelert on loan from Galatasaray 
  • Mental that a team who are L2/L1 at best historically with a crap ground and capacity of 13,000 can spend that sort of money on the Championship.

    Dunno seems to have just played full 90 in a Millwall spanking.
  • Their success is based on a TV show that won’t last forever. Because quite simply every entertainment format runs out of road in the end.

    when that revenue vanishes they will be fucked 
    The do also have huge commercial deals with Global brands and I think that’s more to do with Reynolds than the doc.

    Wrexham fans really are living the dream.

    The sponsorships are nowhere near large enough to support this kind of outlay. They are good for the division but not that big. An average front of shirt deal in the Champ is c£750k to £1m. Even if they are getting £2m it’s not supporting this spend by a long shot.

    100pc this will come to an end at some point. Look at Blackburn….. they are a much bigger club than Wrexham but even their time was up in the end

    I wouldn't be so sure it's that low, they announced 13m in sponsorship in the 23/24 season accounts, when in League 2. Can't imagine it's that low now in the Championship, likely to have doubled

    And they're massive US companies too, the sort of household names you'd be expecting to see sponsoring a Premier League side. This season it's United Airlines on the front, HP on the sleeve, and Meta Quest on the back, all because of the TV show, and the massive international interest in the club.

    That’s right, £13m commercial income in L2 from a turnover of £26m (last accounts available). When the average commercial income in the Championship is also £13m. It could well have doubled by now, so while the bubble will undoubtedly burst in the future, right now they have significant financial muscle. The owners could actually be putting very little of their own money into the club.

    I'd have him back ANYtime
  • Think it's more likely it's Sheaf anchoring instead of Matty James 
  • Their success is based on a TV show that won’t last forever. Because quite simply every entertainment format runs out of road in the end.

    when that revenue vanishes they will be fucked 
    they're using Klarna

    Said it on here before, wouldn’t be too catastrophic if Tanganga went. We have a ready made replacement in Camra. Also, because it’s not a PL club who are in for him, we’ll get a nice bit of wedge for him, (the £1.2 mill buy out clause was for PL club’s only). The talk is 5 mill with 2 million off add ons. Not bad for a player we got on a free in the summer. 

    Would be absolutely gutted if Ivanovic went but I just can’t see it. We have him on a recently signed 3 year contract and have no reason to sell. 


    Mad that a bottom end PL club isn't snapping him up for £1.2m, even just as a rotation option
     My thoughts exactly. Hope it doesn’t get hijacked by one at the last minute. I mean, it’s not ideal selling to a championship rival, but we have to be pragmatic here. That’s a lot of money for a club of our size and I’d be over the moon if we got that, when I thought he would go for 1.2 a few weeks ago. 
    I see you've also lost Alfie already to yet another hamstring injury. Was a stupid buy, not on ability but because he can't stay fit. Losing Ivanovic & Tanganga plus Alfie should hopefully put you nicely back into mid-table... delightful!
    10 mill for Tanganga. Brilliant bit of business for a player we signed on a free last year. 

    Ivanovic going no where according to his uncle on twitter. 

    Alfie will be back , but in the meantime we’ve got good cover for that position. 

    Delightful indeed 😊
    Thought i'd misread that and had to check online. 10m is crazy although Sheff utd can afford it as they've made over 20m in sales this summer. It says the 10m is apparently including add ons though, so not sure what the actual main fee is.

    Football fees are ridiculous right now, and i wonder how long it will be before we see the next club crashing and burning due to financial issues. It definitely won't be you though, Flemming, Esse and Tanganga must be 30m in incomings over the past year now?
    Yes correct, it’s 10 mill including add ons, so at a guess initial figure would probably be around the 7 or 8 million mark. As the old cliche goes, for that money I’d drive him to Sheffield myself! The main add on is usually if the buying club gets promoted. Rumour was we earned an extra million on the Fleming deal when Burnley got promoted last season. 

    A lot of people were taking the piss out of us for having such a low buy out clause with Tanganga, but having that clause was the only way he would’ve signed in the first place and as it happens, that was only for PL clubs. None of who showed an interest, so really worked in our favour in the end. And a very low risk gamble for us as we signed him on a free anyway. It was a no brainer really. 

    And yes about 30 million for those three players. Ivanovic will be worth at least half that himself at the end of this season. It’s good because the money is always being reinvested in the team where as in the past when we sold one of our star players the money would just get lost in the running costs of the club. 
    Can’t argue that you’ve done well out of the outgoings. Maybe you can invest in some anti rust paint for your little stadium 😬😬😬
    So it looks nice and pretty for you as you go past on the train? 
    Yes as currently it looks a complete shithole 😘
    You wait, New Bermondsey is on its way 😁
    True. 

    They’re building the shit out of Bermondsey. We’re on 3 jobs in the biscuit factory and there’s loads more to come. Nearly all the industrial units behind Ilderton Road are flats or are going to be. God knows who wants to live there. But the Chinese need some where to hide their money eh?

    My son in law was in the same team as him through school. Just texted him to piss himnoff while he’s laying floors. 😂

    I know they have issues, bur it's amazing that Leicester have reached the final day of the window, having signed nobody other than a backup keeper.
  • One missed from yesterday, Defender Neto Borges has joined Bristol City on loan from Middlesbrough.
