No in fact I have reconsidered to anything above a grand a week plus win bonuses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told on Saturday that the deal had been agreed and we were just waiting for registration clearance from India... Reason there was only 12 of them is cos there is a reserve match this afternoon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To strengthen this further, why would DC participate in the open training session and sign autographs with the rest of the 'issue free' squad if there was any uncertainty over the deal? I know 'this is Latics we are talking about' and 'mobile phones ring' but surely to god it's not happened again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With just under 4 days to go until window shuts, you’d think they’d be banging their keyboards fabricating meetings in every coffee shop and chicken shack in town. With Kronke buying Arsenal outright, Usmanov will have £1 billion burning in his pocket. After investing £4m, AL now only has £995m - remember he wasn’t a billionaire - but how much realistically would you need minimum to turn this nightmare around permanently? Personally I reckon £30 million spread over 5-6 years reinvesting on player resales to keep topping up those funds. With luck and good fortune you’d get a return on that money once you reach that promised land. Granted that was Blitz’s plan but inexperience in acquiring players, managers etc plus the economic downturn meant we went in the opposite direction. Surely AL must mix in circles of football mad multi-millionaires or billionaires? Football Manager on a grand scale to achieve Prem football within 10 years. £30m is at the back of their chaise lounge these days and wouldn’t be missed.... Beside the £30m you would need lots of luck in having the right manager, the squad of players, and being relatively injury free in these days of transfer windows, where you are stuck with who you get in at the beginning of the season and in January.

Ryan Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 How come Cotterill needs permission from India? He’s a British National who played in India for just 2 months over the Christmas period - he returned home 6 months ago (his contract was terminated in February). Just to clarify I’m not calling anyone a liar or anything like that (LS is the most reliable poster on here) - just wondering why such a daft rule is in force.

Wouldn't think he will be under consideration for the first team. He's been with the youth team for 2 weeks, having been suspended before then. Common knowledge, but he's on a really good contract here - he's in no rush to go anywhere but the club (Lemsagam) are desperate for him to go. I hope they resolve it and we get him on the pitch, but as things stand at the moment, there's more chance of Frankie putting his boots on himself...

Might be being naive but that benefits neither side. If they can’t get rid by Thursday then why not give him the chance to get back in. We’ll be paying him anyway (can’t see him being paid off) and might as well put him in the shop window for January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
