Mon the gers 

The clubs finances are nothing to do with us 

Portugese training camps my chooky two weeks at Gullane sleep them in tents and feed them on hardtack  prepare the body and soul for a tilt st regaining the title 😉

I see this old rascal and his frog friend have been cleared of all accusations against them .

If some displays are like last term they should consider dishing out some happy tablets st half time .

The proof of the pudding will be in the eating by the time we can pass judgement on the new signings they will be a success or duds we will be lumped with until the end of the season  , should be interesting .

What do you think a contract looks like that's both more lucrative and achievable ?

Maybe one that gives the seller the upper hand in any transfer they have had long enough to give him an extension that way we can dictate the price ,in my opinion he’s not that great a player only an asset to be sold at maximum profit and if it was handled correctly we would be rubbing our hands not being over the moon with a derisory 10 million .

Fire him? Give him a pay-rise / bonus. Signed for £250,000 and sold for £10M - great business. 

I don’t care if we signed him for a bag of nuts the contract is crap

Unfortunately it's in his contract and £10M for a player we paid £250K for is decent business - remember he can sign a pre-contract in less than 6 months time and we'd get hee-haw....

Find the clown that gave him this contract and get rid of him 

🤣 10 million is crap no fucking way get another 5 million and paid in full .

It isnt.  This is being done out of a necessity.  Of the 2006's only 6 have been handed contracts in the last two years.  The desired quality isnt there, hence the mass influx of 16 yr old kids into the U18's.  It isnt a change in direction of recruitment, it is a necessity because the locally sourced 2006's werent good enough.

Aye the raw materials are in short supply 

Another first class player 

say not in grief he is no more ,but live in thankfulness that he was .

Couldn't agree more.

 

At the moment we are stuck complaining about no signings. I want to move on to the next stage where we complain about the quality of signings made.

 

At the current rate of progress it will be September before we get to start complaining about the fitness levels of signings. If we are lucky we can start complaining about the team properly in October.

 

Not acceptable.

You mean when were out of Europe and trailing in the league 😄

Holy fucking hell 😡
What next a new pink third strip 

COLAK sounds like something the doctor would prescribe antibiotics for 

Given the lack of funds it looks like were eating in the Inversnecky cafe rather than dining at the Savoy

Colak seems to be a fairly modest target to replace Itten and hopefully he'll be more effective when called upon than the Swiss lad. I doubt we'll want to pay more than around £1-1.5m on him.

 

Other new first choice players will be dependent on the futures of Kamara, Aribo, Kent and Morelos in particular. 

Remember you only get what you pay for

Where does this debacle stand now? Are there legal issues still to be resolved? Who's taken our place?

I would imagine if we signed a contract then we may be liable for compensation to the promoters.

And if anyone signed it should be bagged.

We're not even into July.  🤣

9th July at Sunderland first game you might say it's only a friendly but in my day we didn't play friendlies and if my old mind recalls we signed Soutar last season but couldn't af6to do it right and play him ,and dont forget little clubs like ours have to navigate qualifying for a champions league place because we couldn't win the annual two horse donkey derby. 

You can speculate forever but it looks like we will be starting with the same squad that failed last season,  looks like a gross shortage of money at the club

I would hate to see Aribo and Bassey go. Simply because they would be very hard for us to replace. Kamara less so, even Morelos we could replicate.

Far to little in these days of daft money 

Couldn't beat the old lukewarm pie and watery Bovril and one of those MB bars 

I see Mark Warburton has been appointed as a coach at West Ham
