Perhaps that money has gone back into the business side of the club because it was needed there, more than going into the playing budget More to point the ST money raised needs to stretch out over the course of the season so we can't just spend it in the first month. The pay on the day cash we get from 2-3 home games a month won't cover the wages and the maintenance each month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Ritchie Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Also the 12 mill to buy a business isn't usually a gift. Your club accounts are on -12 million and you want to eventually level that out and turn it into a profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hinchy Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Could be a bit of financial prudence, until recent utterances from Liz Truss, no one has known how high the cap on energy bills could go. That would have a knock on with every other bill the club has bar wages. To keep some extra cash in the bank seems a safe move. Plus with people calling for Shez's head if he does get the sack, we would have to pay him off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are winging it here aren't we, I'm not sure it's the norm down here at this level and I'm also worried what impact these lads are going to have given our last two signings have come in on three and four week loans respectively, you couldn't get any more short termism in my opinion, we'd be as well fielding our own youth and adding value to that. Honestly if Abdallah was here he'd be getting absolutely crucified and rightly so it's shit and depressing and that's from someone whose going to attend regardless, this season is a write off already and we are 7 games in.

I'm afraid 1 month loans are the normal in the Vauxhall Conference. Longest we can get them for is 3 months but it's usually a 1 monther and then extend if its going well...

A stroke of genius if they are rubbish and will be extended if they are good.

One/two month loans were a very common tool used in the days of yore, before the transfer window was introduced. Makes sense that they've made a return now we aren't subject to the same regulations.

Londonboy Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Don't get me wrong I hope he's a roaring success but it's bloody underwhelming. Pretty poor scoring record as a youth team striker, no experience, and will probably keep Junior out of the side. Our own youth policy is going backwards week on week. How do you know if our lads are good enough without giving them a chance. Good luck to him but baffling strategy .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
