Fair enough if that’s the case, but there are definitely increasing amounts of fans who do actually believe that.Taxi_Lad said:I think @eaststandmike is being tongue in cheek there. Isn’t he a staunch “not a penny more “1 -

I was assuming it was a whoosh @eaststandmikecafc_harry said:
Can’t even be bothered to address the rest of the post but how exactly does scraping together frees and loans equate to funding us? He made ~2 million on Grant and ~1.5 million on Dijksteel and we spent, what, 300k on Purrington? We were struggling to match the wages offered by league one clubs for god sake.eaststandmike said:
No longer required, RD has funded and backed LB well in the transfer window, LB said himself this morning on Talkshite that RD has not spoken to him since the window closed leaving him to get on with running the team.Dazzler21 said:COME ON! SOMEBODY PLEASE BUY THIS CLUB!
Fans are returning in their droves, season ticket sales are strong and the merch is flying off the shelves in the club shop.
CARD is very quiet, protests are non existent and everyone loves each other on here.
May as well close the thread until we lose three games on the bounce or we get relegated then it will all be RD's fault again.0 -

Had a splurge of messages a couple of weeks ago and a hint that we might meet up, but nothing since. I haven't bothered asking any questions if I'm honest. GM asked a few though, so I sense they're still interested, but perhaps the price is too high to make it viable.Solidgone said:@JamesSeed - any update from your Aussie buddies (apart from the Ashes)?0 -

I was gauging the reaction I would receive, to be honest I am disappointed, fans defo seem happy with RD and the club. And yes.........

Lyle getting a decent contract and the whole wage structure being adjusted to realistically support a promotion charge would validate that Roland has changed.6

Not being argumentative but Lewis Grabham is on about £30k a week at forest, Bamford is probably on more at Leeds. I guess Taylor is on about 6 or 7?Dazzler21 said:Lyle getting a decent contract and the whole wage structure being adjusted to realistically support a promotion charge would validate that Roland has changed.
I understand that Brentford offered about £20k a week for 3 years AND a £4 million fee.
If he is in the top 3 or 4 goal scores come January he is looking at 30k plus a week if he moves then. Come July if he has scored 20+ goals he is a free agent, he is probably looking at a £5 million contract minimum.
That's 30k a week, maybe adjusted by signing on fees or bonus.
15k a week, or there abouts is fair for us to offer but do you think we should offer LT 30k a week and say a 500k signing on bonus?
Why the hell would he sign anything we offer now?
The "Lyle Taylor situation" isn't anything to do with Roland, neither was the Grant or BFG. It's to do with the state of English football.
Joe Aribo was totally down to RD, was totally avoidable and is almost unforgivable.
Give Roland both barrels but make sure your firing the right bullets.19 -

While Rangers clearly got a bargain with Aribo, they've also been on the receiving end, losing one of Scotland's best young talents Billy Gilmour to Chelsea aged 15/16 (yes them again) for a development fee, the whole system is flawedCafc43v3r said:

I still have a funny feeling that extra debt (not just Roland's loans to the club) was discovered on the books, so Roland now expects a buyer to pay:Solidgone said:

It’s been talked about quite a bit on here, but not sure anyone’s nailed it down 100%. Someone I know whose contact has ‘seen the books’ is talking of £100+m total, but I’m wondering if that includes Roland’s own debt/Staprix debt. It’s far from a clear picture.Solidgone said:
