As I've said before, there's no sense in trying to make the club sustainable unless they're planning on sticking around. They are supposedly trying to sell, so either they're lying (and not trying to sell) or they're trying to sell AND make the club sustainable, perhaps to entice a buyer.

Almost.
I think they are either:
a) (as you say) lying i.e. they are trying to make the club 'sustainable' because they intend hanging around (unless perhaps they get a ridiculously attractive offer, which they won't). Frightening thought.
or b) trying to sell but the 'sustainable' bit is total bull **** and what they are really doing is spending the minimum possible whilst still hoping it's enough to survive this season in the CCC.
Personally I think, and pray, it's b) ....... but I'm not convinced.

I'd be inclined to agree with b), either way they're lying.

there are only two things they are interested in
1 - money - they will bleed the club dry - when there is no money to be had there will be no more interest - they are like a pair of vampires sucking the life out of the club - when it's dead they will move on,
2. Ego - they feed there ego with trappings of wealth- high end fleet of cars, boat, personalised number plates. charity donations to buy honour and recognition - its all about the disgusting show of their wealth
there is nothing nice or pleasant about them - nothing they do is for anyone but themselves - they give donations to both political parties in order to /gain favour for what they want - no philanthropy, no benevolence just self benefit - they really are a pile of crap both individually and as a family - thankfully more and more people are seeing through them

This will be the same Crystal Palace who are managed by Woy.. Who spat his dummy out and slated us while boss of Liverpool I think it Was, when we loaned one of their players and complained he want get enough game time or got injured (something like that). From memory seem to recall it being a goalkeeper but again my failing memory may be wrong

I agree if we lived in an ideal world but sadly we don't. I know thew Allams have a track record in this regard but first off we're taking the word of Artur Klinski as gospel and we're assuming Buraspor's president is telling the truth. In fact he could be just as big a twat as the Allams.
Second if I'd agreed staged payments with someone then found out or heard something to the effect that the second payment wouldn't be made I think I'd want to renegotiate the terms.

Still think the Allams are twats but they might not be the only ones.

Just as big a twat as the Allams ? Really ..

I pressed the like button on this but I think there should be a 'love' button (please don't get excited anyone) and a '****ing bang on mate' button. I would have pressed all three
 
Fuc’ me can someone shut that back door,
there’s a right ****ing breeze coming through it...


Sheffield United are in talks with Middlesbrough winger Marvin Johnson, according to the Daily Mail.

The 27-year-old has also been a target for fellow Championship sides Hull City and Birmingham City in this loan market but looks set for a move to Sheffield United with Chris Wilder looking to push through a deal.

Johnson worked his way up the leagues having started his career with spells in non-league with Solihull Moors and Kidderminster Harriers. He earned a move to Scottish Premier League side Motherwell in February 2015 and joined Oxford a year later.

Hull tried to sign Johnson last summer from Oxford United but he ended up at Middlesbrough for a fee of around £3 million but has not been a first-team regular for the North-East side, having only played 18 times for them in the last campaign.

Middlesbrough boss, Tony Pulis, will allow him to leave on loan having seen him fall down the pecking order at the Riverside Stadium.


Sheffield United is the likely destination for him before Friday’s loan deadline. The Blades have had an impressive transfer window this summer having landed Dean Henderson, John Egan, David McGoldrick, Ben Woodburn and Oliver Norwood and will be looking to push on into the Play-Offs this season in the Championship.

Chris Wilder does not want to stop his recruitment there and Marvin Johnson looks set to be the next through the entrance door at Bramall Lane.

Does Wilder just go after players we want? First Norwood and now Johnson.

The annoying thing mate is we'd have had both signed up if it wasnt for our **** of an owner.

I get that Nige has got to be positive but surely he has to be knocking the door down to get the players in he NEEDS. Its the very least he should be doing. He sounds like an owners patsy but it’s not fair to him, the fans, the players he has already has at the club. We have not got enough playing staff in and making the best of a ‘hard working group’ is not enough.

I wonder how the discussions do go in reality (between Adkins and Ehab). You are right, he should now be literally banging the door down. Maybe he now is? He's been let down and stitched up, just like we continue to be.
 
Is Ehab even around at the moment? I thought he usually disappeared for transfer windows.
