    It's the same as spunking dumb money on so many ****ing players. We all laugh and say Acun loves to win a transfer window but it's such a gross waste of money that could be better spent. Someone said but imagine what the total cost of Sinik could have been spent on. What was it - maybe 6-7m all up including wages? Imagine that invested into the training ground or Academy?

    probably naivitey on my part but i always thought a benfit of a big club loaning out their players was they got first team experience, and off the clubs wage bill for a bit.
    i knew loan fees existed but always assumed they were minimal, like 150k, i had no idea they went into the millions.
    seems mental to me, but most of modern football does so nothing new there <laugh>

    it must piss suppliers off as well who are owed money to see us jetting off to Turkey and paying for supporters.
    I know the cost of that is probably a drop in the ocean financially with the money involved in football , but it doesnt look good if you owe people money.

    And they are under financial pressure re FFP, maybe it wasn’t a case of them dobbing us in, but having to declare it to for their own financial reasons.

    Our esteemed leader is currently posting on social media about celebrating a 5 year old's birthday. I'm sure he'll be on top of all this soon after.

    They sold their women's team to themselves so they were fine in the end.

    Also people keep saying this but the cash receipt of the Barry money has zero to do with PSR. They would already have booked the loan income, whether they had the cash or not.

    Maybe because he thinks everything is or will be ok so is relaxed about it.

    The odd thing is, if you're short of cash, the first thing you'd expect to go is things like free holidays. It also begs the question, why spend all that money on installing safe standing, there was no clamour for it and no financial benefit, so it seems a fairly large expenditure that was easy to bin?

    It's the same as my confusion around us playing and triggering the signing of Puerta. If we were this close to the edge surely just bin him to the reserves, play Vaughn or someone like that and don't force yourself to pay 3m or whatever.

    It's an obvious business negotiation. I'm told Acun pushed his luck and someone didn't like it. As people within the club are saying it should be resolved quickly.

    Coaching staff having a pint in the Hilton don't seem too concerned either.

    Yep, 2 more.
    Must be up to about number 90 and 91 of reasons why this makes no sense whatsoever.
    Someone please make sense of it all (ideally 'the club')!!

    I’m still unsure if he’s just that delusional that he thinks he can not stick to deadlines or fulfil the club’s obligations because it can all be sorted with a conversation and he can charm his way out of trouble, or he really is that narcissistic and arrogant that he thinks he’s not obligated to honour contracts and he’s doing people a favour when he does hold up his side of the deal. Very Trumpesque.

    Maybe this is a Prem, EFL issue that needs addressing. Someone like Chelsea sign a player and give them a 6/7 year contract at 16/17 for £10 million. They spread that cost over the term of the contract then loan them for a fee (like Barry £1 million) out and expect other clubs to make them footballers and money whilst paying their wages too, Maybe clubs in the Premiership should be restricted to offering 3 year contracts to those still considered academy ( I appreciate Barry was not) and more much more important limiting them to loaning say 6 players in any season. That would stop the soaking up of talent that never see a football pitch.

    Perhaps because things are not as bad as the pant pissers are making out based on what they're mates mate in the shop are telling them?

    They may be a bit more concerned when they try to settle the bill at the Hilton with the club credit card!

    Come on Jim.

    If you're going to label people 'pant pissers' then you're clearly in the know....Spill:emoticon-0148-yes:

    Or they're just looking at the evidence. This isn't just about the Barry fee. As reported by everyone covering this there are concerns over late payments to other suppliers also, both locally and nationally.

    My business has been almost entirely with Turkey for the past six years and every Turkish company I deal with has a fairly fluid relationship with deadlines.
