    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.
    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!
    With Gallen and Bowyer £10 OR £12 million would probably be enough. 
    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.
    Undisclosed.

    Let's not get onto the money league.
  • 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.

    Like a decent contract to start with

    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.
    Is it known by anyone whether:

    - an actual deal was put to Roland in recent months which he has rejected?

    - what the high level details of that deal were?
    After 2022 pages I thought youd have realised by now that nobody knows anything about any deals.

    I've long given up now.

    Tactical mastermind Rolando Clusterfuck has cunningly added a 45% GTAT (Gullable Twat Added Tax) to the sale of all scarves purchased by potential suitors...
  • Look out for these two

    Boomerangs at the ready.
    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,
