    their aim last year was to make us "competitive" and thats their aim this year with less income.

    There is no ice berg (sic) out there

    There doesn't need to be. We're already holed below the waterline and bailing with a colander.

    Has Colin been silenced?

    I've just seen (on the main page) that he commented on this thread @ 12:52pm yet there is no comment on here?

    Someone has caught up with him and cut the fingers off the moron.
    Great news - one less person to buy a beer for at Bury.
    Why's that? He can still use a straw.

    I'm having some money on us to be relegated ...

    Really??? Yes we are mid fire sale but Wimbledon, Shrewsbury, Oldham can only dream of players like solly, Holmes, Novak etc. Yes it's disappointing but players will come in. Promotion, no! Relegation, no. Upper mid table, yes
    Yes, really. We're in the middle of a fire sale and there'll be others gone by the end of the window. Tex, Bauer, Lookman, Watt will all go, I reckon and replaced with ??? We'll have a small squad and when injuries bite and with no emergency loans, it all points to one thing ... Disaster. I'm usually a glass half full person but as @oohaahmortimer would say Promotion 0% Mid table 50% Relegation 50%
    Breaking news: @oohaahmortimer sues for copyright infringement.
    Ooh aah also goes into a very considered and carefully developed formula that no one will ever decipher. He doesn't just throw numbers out there like this. This needs some work :wink:

    Let him go, he is behind Pope, Henderson and dimitrovic (spelling) in the pecking order....
    I agree. We should just sign Dave Beasant or Mervyn Day.

    I'm confused.

    Did some of you actually think Pope, JGB and Cousins (possibly still others) would want to play in the third tier of English football if they had prem teams/championship challengers bidding for them?

    Please get real ffs.

    Look, everbody knows this. But that's not the point. Roland's a rich man.
    He has no need for cash flow purposes to flog people off quickly or on the cheap.
    So, in Pope's case, you simply say to the keeper (but more so to any intetested clubs) yes, you can go if we get a sensible bid - but not until an adequate replacement has been found - because Henderson is off too. It's not rocket science just common sense.

    And, in terms of negotiation, of course Cousins wanted out. But how can a club that paid, what, Euro 1.9 for Sarr let probably our most effective midfield player go for peanuts? By way of comparison it is reported that Reece Oxford, a 17-year-old, who has played just a few games for Wet Spam, is subject of a £15mn bid. This is a player remember that we decided we didn't want on loan last season!

    So, please get real ffs.

    Watch as KM signs Phillips up to a 6 year contract then heralds the deal as a sign of the Belgian's commitment to building a promotion winning team.

    Genius by KM and RD, young Mitov will be number one for the first few games and then be sold on deadline day for an impressive couple of thousand. Then we can really utilise the academy as long as we don't play on a school night.

    Jesus... Our decision to sell our Nigerian U14 Goalkeeping wonderkid to Bury sounds crazy at this rate!!

    Do we still have that Brazilian goal scoring machine in our U14's too? (Or whatever level he was at)

    It is actually a genius plan because we don't get International breaks in league 1 which reduces the number of mid week games. Therefore, our teenage heavy first team squad won't miss bed time

    Trouble is they will spend half the game looking for pokemons

    I've just seen katrien at London Bridge station. My first thought was 'I would" then I realised who she was and I've now got sick in my mouth. Her train arrived and I had 10 seconds to think of a witty comment to make but my decision making was similar to Kevin lisbies when one on one with a keeper!!

    simple use of the C word would have sufficed.

    A simple WHOOPS as you pretend to stumble on the platform and so accidentally pushing her in front of the train would have worked.

    Bet that's just what the locals were picturing last May when they won promotion back to the big time.... Good luck to them both but that's not going to set the Burnley fans pulses racing!

    I think people are overreacting slightly here. Disappointing yes but it has been on the cards for a while. Tbf people were also overreacting at the times when Elliot, Hamer and Button left and we've done a good enough job at replacing the. Something has to have been lined up as this was known about, so I'm not that concerned yet. There are a lot of decent keepers about at the moment.

    Ben Roberts scouted and lined up the replacement for each of those. Where is he now? And who the fuck do we have instead?

    This idea that it doesn't matter what fee we get as it just lines Roland's pocket does not wash.

    The fee does matter because KM has admitted previously that she has a sales target. Let's say that's £6M. So, with decent negotiation, that could be met by selling JBG and Cousins for c £3M each. Instead it will probably be met by losing Cousins, Pope, JBG, Lookman, Watt and Teixera for c £1M each.

    Then Kat can run to uncle Roland and tell him what a good CEO she is.

    Apologies for the non use of the c word and not pushing her in front of the train, I bottled it.

    It is early for her but she has to sign the paperwork to get Roland £3.5m of transfer funds this morning. Bless her, she couldn't sleep last night due to the excitement

    I hate football.

    I love football, especially the comedy show of England at a major tournament. What I hate is Roland and all he brings with him.
    Yes, wasnt it just absolutely fucking hilarious.

    'Unique'.

    A shame she hadn't been waiting to catch a Southern Train, she would have been stuck on that platform for 6 months

    Mr. Plumb, maybe this will give you cause for hope? This is from Colinthailand a couple of dyas ago:
    I pulled on to the rank at Orpington station where I have a couple of pals working, Orpington comes under the London borough of Bromley and is the most Southernly taxi rank I am allowed to work......second job who jumps in RIO FERDINAND.....Farnbrough park please mate, Rio looked very well and I said to him " Apart from England's performance how was Paris". He told me he had a great time with the other lads out there, we briefly discussed the favourites for the job of England manager, he asked me who I fancied , I told him I know it would never happen but " Your old boss would be my favourite" He laughed and said " Fergie would set us up to lose on purpose the scotch git"..............Rio had to get out of the cab to put a code into the first security gate and made sure the code was hidden from view, We then come to the house he had built for his mum and drove to the side of that where he had to get out and do the same thing with another code to open a security gate, when he got back in again I said to him " Anyway Rio I know nothing about football I'm a Charlton fan " he was quiet for a minute ,we pulled up outside his door and he got out and paid me with £1 tip he then said to me " I happen to know that by Christmas or the new year Charlton fans are going to be getting some very good news" I asked him if that meant he was buying the club ? He smiled and said " No but big big money is getting involved" ....I said " come on you can't leave me hanging like that ". Rio laughed and said " have a busy night mate and take care" We shook hands and he went inside..................Maybe something in that , who knows. If not, why would he say it?

    That whole story is pure lies.....there is no way Rio would give him a whole pound as a tip.
