I 99.9% believe him, and have all along. However, he really does need to sort out (or more to the point, ensure someone else is sorting out) these issues going forward. Some of the reactions on here (and elsewhere) have been so ott they've been in outer space. That's not what supporters do. Some should read the last few words he says in that statement, look in the mirror then hang your heads in shame.
He probably thinks Omur is £15m despite the fact we can't shift him to anyone outside of Turkiye, and even then only on loan.
Can someone who understands football finances explain the loan fees as these seem to be causing a problem? Surely if we’re scratching around to find money to pay the Burns fee then Matazo and Joseph fees will bring up worse issues for us
He said potential. Pandur potential WAY more than that. Millar, Matazo, Puerta, Alzate, .Kamara, ..Joseph )ha ha only joking on that one).
He never said if the Free Türkiye trip is still on those guys must be wondering whether to book the time off work still.
I'm still not overly convinced Puerta will be here next season? Wasn't it rumoured he wanted out,as in,sign your contract here,we'll add on half a million and you're good to go?
Matazo maybe (but I’m sure someone said there was a clause that meant he could leave for a low ish fee?) Liam Millar is going to be getting on for 27 by the time he has any chance to show he’s bounced back from injury well. He won’t go for a big fee I predict. Puerta and Alzate both look like they are going to be sold this summer. We’ll get half decent fees but nowhere near what we might get if they fulfilled their potential with us. What’s the most expensive GK sold for in the Championship in recent years that wasn’t English? Genuine question as I don’t know but I don’t think they go for that much. Kamara is a possibility - but he’s going to need to really kick on to be worth a promotion/PL club wanting to buy him. He’s nowhere near consistent enough yet (although there is still time) I still think all of that gets us nowhere near £100m
lets hope he remembers the worth of 100 million, when he sells anyone that wants to leave for 500 quid
He isn't just "any owner" though is he. How do you not see that? He simply hasn't deserved the abuse and mistrust from some ...but does need to sort all this 'admin' out going forward. Let's hope he's finally got it right with Jak and the changed infrastructure he's put in place.
Bring back Joyce for another backs to the wall great escape ! The players we have will need to show some steel .
“The Fin Burns situation is actually quite simple. We intended to use proceeds of a player sale to settle this fee and as soon as the EFL told us this wasn’t possible - due to reasons not related to us, we made a direct payment immediately to end the matter.” Making it up as he goes along.
