Robbo seems to be gone going on the recent trends/news. I wouldn't be surprised if Escab got greedy and offloaded Maguire to the lowest bidder! Would that give him the return on their generous ****ing gift they're after? I hope so.

They will hopefully then sell up and **** off for good. Oh and what a legacy to leave behind...leaves some money to a hospital but turns everything else they touch to ****! Bravo!

What will be our worth at the end of this season? I'd say about £40-£50m. .and that's being generous.
 
I'm slightly perplexed by this Rannochia thing. On the one hand people are saying he's awful, the laughing stock of Serie A, yada yada.

Forget the Italy caps for a minute (though I haven't), he's also played for Inter Milan 130 times. That's ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY TIMES. And yet he's ****e, apparently. Doesn't stack up.

To be honest I don't know much about about the guy, he may be ****e, but I just love it that we are writing off a guy who has played for Italy and inter Milan......but on the other hand moaning about us selling players who have got us into the relegation places !!

But then again I also got excited when I saw Antonio Doncel warming up and heard he played for Deportivo.....he was ****e too !!!

I can't be bothered to look through the last 30 pages...

Someone mind catching me up?

Do we have enough for a five aside team? Has Ehab taken over as manager?
 
It is genuinely heart-breaking to see what is happening at our club. Dismantling what remained of a squad and selling our best players Livermore, Snodgrass and now almost definitely Robertson for 50-70% of market value to our rivals. We replace them with loans and bargain players and have a squad with no credible depth in the midst of a relegation battle.

The asset striping stand out for me is the willingness for a quick fire sale and the slapdash grab the money approach and not trying to get maximum value when they could and should get more.


Years of hard work establishing a decent group of players been flushed down the drain whilst one power mad megalomaniac asset strips our club and bleeds it dry out of vindictive spite. Width one day left of the transfer window.


This time tomorrow I could be completely long but the inevitability looks to be setting in. Call me a 'patty wetter' but everything that is happening is straight from the book of How Not To Run a Football Club.

<laugh> Is that the same as a patty slapper
 
LEVERKUSEN SIGN BAILEY

Bayer Leverkusen have confirmed the signing of Genk winger Leon Bailey for around £11.5m.

Bailey had been one of Hull’s main targets earlier in the window.

We understand Hull are in talks with as many as five players toady, including Inter defender Andrea Ranocchia.

....

11.5m... im sure we could have matched that but he probably chose them over us.. cant blame the lad.

Burnley look nailed on to sign Brady from Norwich... surely that would end their interest in Robertson? Unless they plan to play one of them on the wing..

Ehab's trying to get his money back, not increase the debt - the club owes the Allams £100million - we should all want that figure to be much lower - we don't want to be another Portsmouth going into administration - at the end of the day the Allams invested a lot of money in Brucie to get us into the Premier League and for him to keep us there - unfortunately Brucie ****ed up and that's why we're in the financial mess we're in - personally I've no problem with the Allams getting the debt down after Ehab ****ed up the sale - how else can they get the debt down when they want their money back now - the club has maxed out the credit cards and its time to pay back the money - of course its an almighty **** up but we are where we are - does anyone really expect the Allams to keep pumping more and more money into the club - just how much debt should we be in before enough is enough - yes the key is Premier League survival and the money comes in - the Allams thought that too until Brucie got us relegated - however there are no guarantees with that and I suspect the Allams wont take that risk again - everyone loves it when you spend credit card money - however it creates a debt and the **** bit is paying it back - its now time for the **** I'm afraid
 
it's a stat where it's difficult to see what factors they've taken into consideration.
The list shows the conversion rate of goals scored vs attempts made, Snodgrass may scored 5 but he must have had a lot more missed attempts, therefore, he can't have the second best conversion rate from FKs in the league as you stated.

As I said, I think the stat quoted where he is second, includes assists.
 
Getting back to the posts from some pages back (I cant be arsed to look for them again) regarding reinvesting the '£30m' we've recently received - am I being stupid and no such thing exists or is everyone overlooking the - I'm pretty sure - hefty sell on fee to Dundee Utd for Robertson? I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere on this thread, by local reporters on Twitter or indeed in any of the media reports, but I'm sure I recall it being 25% at the time.

It's 10% of the profit so just over £700k

Excellent post. The only bit you haven't considered is that we need to sell to meet our bills until the next lot of Premier League money is paid. Its not inconceivable that a bank loan repayment may be due. This transfer window may be like selling the furniture to pay a bit off the credit card at the end of the month and have enough left to eat.
