No - he won't and we won't...why? Well, we'd be royally pissed off with him as usual if he spent £50m as we'd get a 10-12 points fine from the EFL for busting FFP! Let's keep it real folks, even if he did fancy his chances he can only splash £10-£12m otherwise he's cutting his own throat again!RodneysMiddleName said:Okay Mr Owner, so you've failed at selling the club. Not a biggie - you've tasted failure before. However, out of the jaws of defeat comes the opportunity for a victory even you can't possibly have seen coming. You could literally double your money by letting the Manager know today that you will back him to the tune of £50 million in January to get the club promoted, and to build a squad with a chance of staying in the Prem.
This is a once-off opportunity that I'm sure someone with your Trump-like wisdom will seize.
Or, you could simply take that £50 million and divide it up between your 50 biggest critics on here and we'll stop saying nasty things about you.
The choice is yours.
They are magicians.
Dont think it even needs that sort of money. Realistically we probably only need another 2 or 3 players. Another striker - either Toney or someone to replace Leko & cover for Cullen if he goes back to W Ham & cover at left back.
£6-8m tops. Gallen is a superhero & knows where the talent is.
Trouble is you spend £6-8m on a couple of decent players, you have to pay them well. Then Taylor wants the same or more; other players want more; clubs loaning you players want a fee. Suddenly your £6-8m is £15m and you turnover is only £13m a year and you are back to losing money hand over fist. Championship footy is broken. Badly.0 -
However bad Roland has been, I don't think gambling 50m in that way would make everything right for the club itself in the long run. Look at the ruins that are Bolton, Bury et al.RodneysMiddleName said:Okay Mr Owner, so you've failed at selling the club. Not a biggie - you've tasted failure before.

You might think the mega rich like Abramovich are happy to spunk their money away, but I bet very few of them actually lose their own cash in the long run.
If Roland did want to earn a bit of kudos from the fans (which he probably doesn't, based on his record so far) then he'd easily get it by just giving Bowyer a few quid to bring in a few extra faces in January and sort out long term contracts for those already at the club who are showing great commitment at the moment.

Exactly, I think it’s unreasonable to ask for 10mil+ but after what Bowyer has done for him it’s criminal rude he won’t even chuck him a bit.1

After 2022 pages I thought youd have realised by now that nobody knows anything about any deals.AFKABartram said:
Is it known by anyone whether:JamesSeed said:Aussie (+ US backing) attempt to buy the club is over.
Can't say which source supplied the info, but apparently RD was impossible to deal with, and they've had enough.
- an actual deal was put to Roland in recent months which he has rejected?
- what the high level details of that deal were?
I've long given up now.2 -

We can use them to protest at every game without having to climb down pitchside to retrieve them.

To quote Charlie Drake, my boomerang wont come back. (Blimey you got to be very old to have heard that classic ‘50s song.) Thought Mr seed said they had now departed, never to return,Airman Brown said:Boomerangs at the ready.4 -

You could have the entire Valley sold out with just investors in seats and it wouldn't make any difference if Roland isn't going to be reasonable on a selling price. I honestly think at this point that if an investor came in and offered Roland exactly what he's asking for, from a massive asking price to ex-director loans to extra cash following promotion, he'd still come back with a new, higher demand to see what he could get. The bloke's a loony.
