I guess we'll see in time how good your source is because I'm naturally suspicious of these kind of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody that thinks maguire money is still available is wrong thats gone and been invested etc. Let's just think we have played with lack of depth at Cb and not replaced Maguire all season and the best we good get was Bennett. Believe what you want..if you think it bs then fair enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st albans fox Posted 15 August 2020 Share Posted 15 August 2020 Hang on a minute ...... the point that @Chelve84 is making isn’t so left field. It would be weird if we had pots of money to spend - we don’t usually spend more than 20/30m nett and that’s without the damage that Covid has done to our finances .... are any of us expecting more than a 20/30m nett spend ????? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone suggested we have money to burn, everyone has kinda assumed it'd be small unless we sold a big player 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich offers a more skilled approach and goals, but he’s been playing at a much higher level than Chilly for longer. Chilly will develop into a world class player, why do you thin Liverpool came sniffing around a few years ago? We’re in denial if we sit here saying he’s shit, because he isn’t. He isn’t shit but I’m unsure on whether he’s world class. Look at Alphonso Davies and Robertson... he’s not on there level, pretty inconsistent and not the best defensively, we can’t turn down 64million. Maybe if we made the UCL but we didn’t so cash in and sign a quality winger or 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not the point, the point he is making is plausible. What isn't plausible and what Chelve is being called out for is saying he has a source with an insight into club finances. It just isn't true, surely you can see that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm just not buying someone having info on the inner workings of the clubs finances. But we'll see or maybe Chelve would like to reveal more info about his source?

North Leeds Fox Posted 15 August 2020 Share Posted 15 August 2020 Wouldnt surprise me if man city came in for him after tonight. Mendy and zinchenko unused and cancelo was terrible. Would be a much better team with chilly in it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sell to buy... expect 2 or 3 loans with option to buy. Anybody that thinks BR hasn't been questioned about our collapse from the owners are wrong. They banked on champions league money coming in We are not skint as a football club. You're completely and utterly wrong on that. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Mickyblueeyes Posted 15 August 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 15 August 2020 1 hour ago, Chelve84 said: money is not there for signings unless we sell. Anybody thinking we have 50 60 million available for transfers im afraid not. We haven't got the money for the stadium or training ground we have loaned it because we haven't got it and we have just took another major loan now You may have a source but that source unfortunately doesn’t understand lending and business. We are not skint. If we get relegated and fail to come up after two years, that may change significantly. However, at this moment in time, we are not skint. Do not underestimate directors fiduciary duties and the responsibility of both the FD and General Counsel, who sit on the board and are answerable to their respective regulators if they signed off on loans (plural!) to the club when the business “hasn’t got the money” for new ventures. The club have taken calculated risks to liquidate assets. That’s all it is. Unless your source sits in the position of the two aforementioned roles, they need to be careful coming up with these conclusions. I am fairly certain neither would release such information because of their regulatory responsibilities. It’s not worth losing a career over to release information such as that just to get the topic hot on Foxestalk. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
