No idea if it's true or the same as the famous Chelsea loan but have seen it reported. Promotion and Dapo selling for say £3m will prob give us 50p Stop exaggerating Dave. 50p, never. 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radcliffe white Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 (edited) Johnston on a good screw And why would we pay Dan 300k a year for someone with very little experience but yes pinch of salt Edited March 24 by radcliffe white Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Pay a decent fee for anyone and you’re paying them well - you’ve shown your hand in terms of value to you and they’re not therefore going to accept being paid less than their ‘fair share’. That means Collins and Vic will be big earners. I reckon Johnston will have known his value when signing his new contract and so he’ll be up there, santos as club captain should be up there, Baxter will likely be up there considering he was on a free and therefore in a competitive market and JDB being an international who dropped a division (although he got a new contract in the summer didn’t he, and so might have had to accept lesser terms to stay).

masi 51 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 No player brought through in the near five seasons running the club. Money invested in the club since. Government, Swiss and Fans bond. Obvious they cannot sustain the club much longer and need outside help. Fair play they saved the club but they certainly have no long term plans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love it😃 I could see him taking the parcel out, putting it back, taking it out, putting it back, taking it out, putting it back - then clodding it over the fence.

It's very, very hard to bring young players through into the first team So few actually make it, and given the state of our youth setup when FV took over it's no surprise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masi 51 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Doubt there has been a time in our 150 year history where we never bought a player through in that timescale. Great that they saved the club and Sharon has been a great role model but i hope to god these Swiss backers have got a better business model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
