When we sold Bogle most of that money was wasted on having a 30+ playing staff under Bignot and Slade,

Now we have just escape relegation with one game to go I can not see many clubs trying to sign our players apart from Macca,

So MJ will be able to keep the ones he wants and hopefully get some better ones in.

I will type this very slowly as I appreciate you cannot read very fast.

How on earth do you sign players? I would suggest you use the money from season ticket sales, commercial income and EFL distribution.
Signing on fees are paid over the duration of the contract and not in a lump sum on day one.
I maintain that someone has to underwrite the cash flow as John has done to £350k or thereabouts but there are people willing to do that if John is serious about stepping down. Maybe  John is more keen on stepping aside than those who attach themselves to his shirt tails?


Hear hear.

Why do you have to pick on my dislexia? Just because I can't read quickly what's the problem? I put up with bullies like you at school and I ll put up with them here. Why on earth would you pick on that?

Mate, he won't get that because he's just countered his own argument! In an earlier post in this thread he made the point that you don't normally pay the whole transfer fee in one go, then said you need someone to provide the cashflow for it. He's also forgotten that the Bignot sale triggered signings.

I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

As the club hasn't recieved all the Bogle transfer money it might be  tricky to squander


If that`s true remind me which mastermind oversaw the deal on Town`s behalf?

But of course with the oversized squad we all complained about that could have just about brought parity...


Who sanctioned the spend on the squad and where did the money come from if not the Bogle sale either way it`s more mismanagement surely?The fall out is most of the players brought in plus 2 managers have been shipped out in little over 18 Months resulting in a squandering of money and a downturn in results.We must do better this Club needs a proper professional working on contracts and a Manager and board who get transfers in/out to make a profit.UTM
