Transfer Rumours Summer 2025 Transfer Thread…

[HCAFCHangout]

Sunderland’s owner is a billionaire though. He can afford to regroup and go again.

Acun’s the football owner equivalent of someone on minimum wage with an Audi R8 on finance and a mortgage he can’t afford.

I don’t disagree. More adds to my point that we should’ve been doing slow sustainable growth and building the squad over time

 

[Charon]

Or even hearsay.

Or even heresy

 

[PLT]

We can soon test him out can't we? What date did they get paid last month and why were they paid on that date and not the usual one?

If his mate is real he would be able to answer at least the first part fairly easily.

Are you saying that the players' wages were paid late again last month? That would seem like a very big story which surely would've broken into the public domain by now like it did in April.

Edit to hopefully nip an ambiguity in the bud: I'm aware that they technically weren't actually paid late in April, but later than the usual date was still a big deal and it would be again now.

No I'm not.

 

[Kalman II]

No I'm not.

I’m guessing you’re referring to non-playing staff.

People were suggesting the other day that things haven't deteriorated on this board. That feels like a good example of how it has.

Rot, when TigerRoo was around one poster suggested he should drink bleach, others weren't too complimentary about him either. Oh for those friendlier days.

Yes. Wondered if he was misspelling either one.

I went to school with a kid who drank some bleach. In the 90s attention seekers drank bleach. Now they get their wabs out on social media. Don't tell me this isn't progress.

I'm assuming GFAW hasn't been texting Oli McBurnie.

Yeah, an unusual fella and pretty nasty himself.

Edit - In fact, didn't he get banned eventually?

 

[Amin Arrears]

Genuinely, what is the "this" that people are talking about? All I can see is Jim saying that he's now heard the same as what others have previously said they've heard, but there's next to no specific detail on anything that's happened so I don't know what I'm meant to be surprised or shocked by.

Reminds me of last week when there was a meltdown about us selling Hughes and Pandur, someone even said they "can't believe the club is doing this" when the only real news was that we'd received a bid for Hughes and rejected it, and as it turned out it never went any further than that.

Do you really have to ask what this is? Everyone knows

 

[Amin Arrears]

Surely it's always better to sell them for more down the line as well as getting an extra year of value out of them. If we had to urgently sell them for cash now that would be the most alarming thing.

I'm sure that the finances are a mess but I don't see how not selling those players can be spun as a negative.

Because we’re in such a mess we can’t afford to let them go for less now. We need to gamble and hope their value doubles. It’s as simple as that.

He was always alright with me, still, birds of a feather...

Even so, not the best example.

Acun is a lot wealthier than people realise, it’s not that he can’t afford to fund city he’s just doesn’t want to.

 

[tigerrev]

But he's fully committed to us now - he said so when he left Fenerbache

There's a difference between wealth and liquidity.

Most wealthy folk have the majority of their assets invested. That's fine if you have access to a line of reasonably cheap credit.

But when that credit reaches exhaustion or becomes ever more expensive, that's when the problems start.
