Transfer Rumours Summer 2025 Transfer Thread…

Yep, spot on. Acun has been bad on the football side. But that is a low priority issue compared to strangling the life out of the club, driving away thousands and making people lose the love for their club. The passion we have now in the fanbase to be angry about the on pitch performance is something we didn't have a few years ago.

 

hopefully you're right
its not the first time we've all panicked about stuff happening with acun

if the worst happens next weekend
we will boss league 1

 

isint xavier simons a ready made player we have for league one? or are wycombe buying him whatever?

 

‘B-b-but he got attendances back up!’

‘B-b-but he laid on free travel for away games!’

‘B-b-but he took fans on holiday!’

‘B-b-but his heart is in the right place even though he made mistakes!’

‘B-b-but he created positive vibes after the toxicity of the Allams!’

Some of you are easily pleased by a charlatan because he promised you milk and honey.

 

The only positive from relegation is that it'll allow us to establish a pathway from the youth set up into the senior squad again. The likes of Vaughan, TSF, Tinsdale will get proper chances to establish themselves

 

you need a new keyboard?.

 

Can’t see me ever having a season ticket again. Which pre Allam the thought of not having a season ticket was inconceivable.

In fact I can hardly be arsed to get to the few games I do actually have the chance to go to anymore.

They along with the general state of football really killed it for me.

 

Changing the rules next season so you can’t do a Birmingham

 

Acun didn't go shopping himself for a slack handful of footballers who turned out to be crap. Though he did pay (one way or another) millions for players who we were told would be great and by and large have under performed.

Not sure why you have such a downer on him.

 

Perhaps we can persuade Wycombe that Ryan Giles is really a midfielder and wouldn't they like him instead, foc?

 

He spent millions of some bank’s money on crap players and is charging us 5% interest on the debt. Wow, what a charitable hero.

He’s a crook who hoodwinked a lot of simpletons and built a personality cult around himself. What’s to like about him?

 

Something tells me you’re not a big fan of his, could be wrong though!

 

Again, what is there to be a fan of?

Has he written off or converted to equity the club’s shareholder debt like Forest or Leicester’s owners have done in the past? No, because he’s skint and can’t afford to. He’s gambled on getting us to the Premier League with borrowed money so he can sell us for a profit, arrogantly thinking it was easy, and he’s put us in the **** because his gamble failed.

 

5% is that all ?!

 

5% interest is high for shareholder loans in football. Lots of owners give interest-free loans to their clubs or minimal-interest loans. He’s charging us 5% because he needs to pay the money back to whoever he borrowed it from too. This was also a point of contention towards the Allams who charged large interest rates on the loans from Allamhouse but somehow Acun gets a pass for it.

 

According to last set of accounts we have just under £10m of our £21m turnover attributed to TV rights

It’s an absolute **** show if we go down

 

Was just a joke mate

 

We are undoubtedly ****ed. Not only will we lose a load of money, I believe the ffp rules with regards wages are much stricter in L1, where wages are not allowed to exceed a % of turnover? And we have far too many players and a lot of high earners. It will be a full scale fire sale or offloading players on loans.

All we can hope for is that Acun can actually afford the hit and has planned contingency. I’m really not sure about either but nobody on here actually has a clue.

 

i thought it was a EFL rule that all owners had to charge the market rate of interest on all loans now to stop the “free” money

 

I think that’s a Premier League thing and it’s an ongoing legal debate tied to the Man City case. If it has changed, it only happened very, very recently as lots of clubs with wealthy owners received interest-free or minimal-interest loans.

Basically, Man City did some whataboutism regarding APT rules and argued that if sponsorships and other commercial investments had to be subject to fair market value assessments, then shareholder loans should be too. They effectively threw Arsenal, Everton, Brighton and Leicester under the bus by saying ‘if our Abu Dhabi sponsorships are scrutinised, then other clubs shouldn’t receive interest-free loans from their owners’.
