The only other contenders are Yiadom (currently playing) and Tmac, I believe they agreed new terms when we were still handing out big contracts. None of our players are on anywhere near £700k. All would have seen a 40% cut on wages on relegation. Ejaria is our best paid player, maybe on £10k a week...

I read a thing online - which could be completely made up, but seemed reasonable to me - listing the top 5 best paid players at Watford this season. Tom Ince is listed as on £30k per week - i.e over £1.5M annual wage. Assuming that is correct, the only way I can see his agent leveraging that type of...

Expect the likes of Vickers, Abbey and Bindon and maybe one other off to Arsenal or other club for some pathetic amount of money and just maybe the arrival of a striker to replace Ballard. Would certainly explain the lack of playing time for Vickers... I'm fully expecting some kind of firesale to b...

WestYorksRoyal Presume this is all just a bit of willy waving on both sides and there is still a reasonable chance of the deal happening.

Given all parties are supposedly under NDAs, this selective leaking is driven by people with an agenda

Thank God Bowen is here. Imagine where we'd be with the Kia recruitment model and lack of leadership. I can't see how much worse it could be a than in the bottom 2 of League 1 and losing to an injury time goal from a non league side on ITV1 on a Sunday afternoon... Don't get me wrong, I want better...

Around 10 years ago, SJM got a £10M loan with Vibrac - as advised by C. Samuelson - which eventually led to the lender being instrumental in the sale.

Would something like this be needed now?

Hound Apparently close to signing exclusivity with Genevra associates - James Earnshaw

So I''ll ask the naive question - what's the incentive for a Hedge Fund to purchase a League One club?

It's not for community spirit...

As it turned out yes - but I honestly think SJM thought he had found a real billionaire rather than the wide boy son of a billionaire. Its certainly been all down hill from there and I really hope the Ashley rumours are true. Maybe Ashley wants to be loved after all the hate at Newcastle. I would j...

I agree So, a bit like SJM then :wink: As it turned out yes - but I honestly think SJM thought he had found a real billionaire rather than the wide boy son of a billionaire.

6ft Kerplunk Isn't that pretty much what Nicky Hammond used to do for us?

Yup, and he was regularly mocked on here for it....

SJM spent about 5 years touting the club for sale and that was when we were well run and successful. Even then, the only person to bite was a Russian chancer with daddy's credit card. Depends on how desperately he was trying to sell the club in those five years - he wasn't being forced out of the c...

Would be pretty shit, but he pulls this type of thing with F1 as well, only for it to go absolutely nowhere. Would take it with a pinch of salt at this time. I get where you're coming from, but he's been granted access to Bearwood so must be in talks. The Telegraph reported a few interested parties...

This is really interesting, thanks. I am struggling with this as, as far as I can see, the owner put in a lot of money to get the club into the PL and did it very badly, failed, ended up falling foul of FFP and now, with the difference in income in L1 vs, the Championship, there is a real struggle ...

Technically HMRC should issue a statutory demand, wait three weeks and then issue the WUP. However, for repeat offenders HMRC can issue demand today and only give 24 hours notice of the WUP. However, the hearing at court takes a little while for it to be heard but it is still very much a tightrope ...

"I love Noel Hunt and no disrespect to him, but to bring in someone like that with the pressure of the position we were in was one of the reasons we went down." this could get interesting - wtf does he mean by "someone like that"? I guess he means "inexperienced". I lo...

"I love Noel Hunt and no disrespect to him, but to bring in someone like that with the pressure of the position we were in was one of the reasons we went down." this could get interesting - wtf does he mean by "someone like that"? so tone deaf given the situation he was (partly) ...

Well at least the title of the thread is apt. As the bible is littered with lies and inaccuracies too :lol: Or clear metaphors and complex concepts - representative of living a good life - written in ancient times - depending upon how you see it….. It’s probably best not to criticise religious book...

Considering our current plight and being a basket case of a club lol :D that was a pretty impressive transfer window by all accounts!! Bowen, Selles & Co have put together a team full of young hungry players who are happy and able to try and play an attractive brand of fast flowing football, pl...
