    I don’t agree with this. I think everything he has done has been calculated and intentional and we are not in this position by accident.

    I decide (for you) that you want a loan of £50million. I then take that loan and everything else you own and I walk into a casino and up to a roulette table and put it all on red. I watch it spin and land on black. I lose it all.

    Now you owe me £50million, you have nothing, and you have to sell the clothes off your own back for pittance just to get by.

    How would you feel about me? I didn’t intend to lose all your money.

    You definitely wouldn’t let it slide because of how passionate I am about gambling.

    Considering amount of Acun sucking posts of the day, I guess Turkish vacation squad has returned.

    Back to topic, did anyone see Millar and Belloumi play, how are they returning? We need those guys to be in shape in order to survive.

    A while ago, Jak said they won't be available for the first team until after the Sep International break

    I’ve heard similar, although not to get back at the fans but to make him be accepted upon his return. He never wanted to sell the club and enjoyed being involved in football, so this is his way to get everyone back on side.

    That's because we haven't got any we can sell and relace with freebies. We'll focus on selling the defence and midfield first and then replacing them with free's. If we have time we'll sign resign Aaron Connolly at the end of August.

    We absolutely don't have any financial worries though. <laugh>

    Because despite the financial side of things, he is a very good player for a club of our size. Had he been in the reserves at Man U, Man City or Liverpool he would have cost us a fair whack. He's technically sound, he has good awareness and a willingness to drive us forward. His match winner against Oxford was brilliant. We paid something like £2m for Burstow, £2m for Joseph and £3m for Puerta, he was easily one of the signings of the season for me given what we paid and what we got.

    If the money was paid last season when his clause was triggered, I don't see a problem with this. Neither Leverkusen or FUS Rabat have complained that they haven't been paid for the players, so what the **** are the EFL playing at imposing retrospective punishments on deals that were completed when we weren't under an embargo? Why didn't they pipe up at the time the deals went through (in the case of Puerta, this was the 19th April ffs)?

    Very true. And the worst thing is they are meant to be doing it as we are short of money and not paying bills. If we have to sell him we could lose up to 1/2 million in the short term, possibly up to 5/6 in the long run. He’s the best midfielder we’ve had for a long time.

    That's the case they need to be making to the EFL appeals board. We cannot be letting talent leave for cheap just to satisfy stuff in the short term. That's harming the team, when it's the owner's fault.

    I know this isn’t transfer related, but aside from the bits in the press (that will never say anything different at the start of a new managers’ reign) does anyone know how the players have taken to the new manager?

    Suggestion of Ehab coming back.

    Why on earth would the EFL approve a man to takeover a football club under embargo by a man who put that very same football club under one for a far smaller amount?

    There is a much higher probability Ehab is a cabinet minister by 2029 than there is him being directly involved in football again.

    The situation under Ehab was different. We took a support loan from the EFL to cover lost revenue due to the pandemic and there were restrictions similar to now. However, the restrictions were lifted immediately upon repayment of the loan. It wasn’t considered a punishment by the EFL as it was one of the terms of the loan.

    The current situation is due to accumulating 30 days or more of late payments to other clubs and the fee restriction isn’t immediately lifted once we’ve payed the outstanding debts.

    There’s nothing to suggest Ehab would fail the EFL’s fit-and-proper-person test. Being a ****er doesn’t disqualify someone.
