IF it's a ruse, then I'd say the gamble for 3 points is worth more in the short term! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
we hate man,u and city to Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 You'd think we were signing messi. I'm happy he's (hopefully) been signed up but, we need some other areas sorting out too. If its a permanent deal, i can't see how we have funds available to get another cb/st at least in. Takeover won't give us extra funds (ffp). And byrne would bring an extra 10 or so on the gate tomorrow. Most won't sway on just one signing. We were shite with him in but, no doyle. And now we don't have bryan too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcfluff1985 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Wellens liking a tweet confirming permanent not loan. Imagine the outrage if he'd just had a few beers last night and decided to go on the windup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GravityGrave Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 There shouldn't be any negativity whatsoever at the prospect of us signing Byrne. Best player to wear Latics blue since Shez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick1979 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Totally different systems, premier league and championship are FFP and can still post huge losses over a 3 year rolling period (bigger with a cash injection from a benefactor) league 1 and 2 is Salary Cap Management Protocol where wages are restricted to 60% of turnover. Any breach can quickly result in a transfer embargo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not going today ‘cause I ain’t paying £24 to watch our depleted squad get slaughtered which is what’s going to happen if none of these players we’ve signed have been registered. Although if that isn’t the case and we’ve got the likes of Mcalaney and Byrne to pick from then I probably would have gone. So if they do end up playing I’ll be a bit frustrated, although even without me attending, I do hope that is the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Lemsagam does have serious cash to burn and we dont know how much ir little he has then FFP wont stop him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kowenicki Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I don’t get some of our fans. Be better off picking a more ‘successful’ club. I’m going because I always do.... if we don’t have the players cleared yet then we’ll see some other players and it will be interesting to see how they/Wellens do. I go to Latics to watch them play, win, lose or draw (or get slaughtered), because I like football and I love Latics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go to Latics to watch them play, win, lose or draw (or get slaughtered), because I like football and I love Latics. Some fans are bigger fans than others. I haven’t had the passion to go watch us every week, win, lose or draw since Sheridan left in 2009. The regression of the club since that time, married with my financial circumstances for a number of years dictated that I had to pick and choose my games, so I chose based of whether I felt we had a chance of winning, in order to gain the best value for my money. It’s a habit I’ve not been able to shake, because even though my financial circumstances have improved in those years, the product on the pitch really hasn’t. So it’s never really enticed me to buy a ST. It’s probably going to take longer term progression, (perhaps becoming a mid table League One team would be a start) for me to get the “bug” back. It doesn’t change the fact that I am still a fan and go to at least a dozen games a season. Edited January 13, 2018 by PlayItLivo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely going to the pub afterwards is much more important and interesting than anything that happens on the pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
