Lee Sinnott Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 20 minutes ago, Inspiral_Carpet said: We signed Sylla in the week before FGR. This was after significant unexpected income from the FA Cup run and during a time when the only other player movement was outwards. I know you have good sources but this doesn’t add up. The defender who we signed today. We tried signing him last week but either the EFL or the FA wouldn't allow it. We actually signed Sylla between Notts County and Fulham. He was announced the day before Fulham, but signed on the Thursday before... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him and Lemsagam were known to each other weren't they? Hardly beyond the realms that he might have asked him to come and have a look at the club he was buying in return for being looked after, all good PR.

Could have been been an issue at Latics; with the player’s registration or with his agent as to why we couldn’t do the deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd imagine Miller going would have freed up money in the budget to allow that. There was some form of embargo prior to the league payments arriving this week, having 6 subs and a crocked O'Grady last week wasn't a choice.

I’m actually with you on this. I think it’s just a publicity stunt that he agrees to let be banded about every time we need a manager. If scholes wanted the job he’d have it anytime he liked I think.

It is club income that increases the amount that potentially can be spent under the SCMP. The Fulham game will have increased that even further.

It’s quite conceivable that AL just pocketed it, to recoup some of his outlay when we’re short every month. An to be fair, if that is the case I wouldn’t begrudge him that. He’ll only need to cover us again next month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure we will find out in due course but the job would appeal on some levels, he is an Oldham fan as is his dad and he used to bring the kids along too, he lives in Grasscroft and values his family and home life immensely meaning his commute to work would be minimal in comparison to other jobs, his kids schooled within walking distance of BP and his son turns out for Chadderton FC, he'd probably work for buttons as money has never been his motivation and he'd be starting off at a realistic level and would have nothing really to lose managing a club that's finished no better than about 15th in a decade, as for his TV work plenty of managers supplement their income working as pundits and I don't see why he couldn't do both tbh.

That gave scope to increase the wage bill. Therefore the reason we were unable to sign Sefil in the same week as we signed Sylla was not due to a financial embargo under SCMP.
