Good start to the season

When was the last time we had a good start to the season ? , Doesn't seem to happen.
We need to spend the money from Chuba , quickly and wisely. Very disappointing.
 
That's the problem, we have to sell before we buy. Other teams seem to get their transfers done ahead of us, Coventry being a case in point.

At least there's no midweek match, so hopefully we can make some headway by Huddersfield at home.
 
We will only reinvest a small percentage of the Akpom fee into the squad - we no longer have the parachute payments.

I think Rogers will be given the opportunity to try and fill Akpom's boots and we will look to bring in a few loanees from the Premier League.

All of the Akpom money will be reinvested. Of all the things you can level at this chairman, putting money into the football set-up is not one of them.
 
The thing is - we are a club that is somewhere between 15th and 30th English club.

It's fine margins.

I suspect we will finish somewhere between 20th and 30th in England again this year. I think our squad is somewhere in that range.

Unlucky with a few pre-season injuries and transfer issues that I dont think we could do much about. And... we have started poorly still fancy we will win more than we lose this season.

It would be interesting to know what percentage of the fees we received for Spence and Tav were reinvested. Their fees combined gave us a pretty large sum of money.

Yes, it would have helped to cover the wage contributions for the loan players but don't forget we got two wages off our books by the sales of Tav and Spence, as well as the transfer fees.

Do you think Clarke, Forss, Barlaser and Hoppe signed for free? Or that we didn’t have to pay loan fees for Muniz, Steffen, Archer, Ramsey, Mowatt and Giles? What about signing on fees for Lenihan, Smith, Roberts, Luongo?

The season before we spent fees on Payero, Crooks, Ikpeazu, Boyd-Munce and McGree and also signed Bamba, Taylor, Lumley, Ameobi, Daniels, Olusanya, and loaned Hernandez, Siliki, Sporar, Connolly and Balogun.

Who paid that all of that? We shifted Saville, Browne, Morsy and Kokolo but there’s surely no way that we covered everything spent by Warnock and Wilder by selling those four.

No I’m saying not all of the money we make on transfers has been spent in prior seasons, your list of players does not come in at £24M does it?

I think the fees for Tav and Spence were undisclosed so how do you know they went for £24m? The bottom line is nobody knows how much the club is paying and receiving for players. But if you don’t think the chairman has put the money raised from sales back into the team, the staff, then what do you think he’s done with it?
