Transfer Rumours Summer 2025 Transfer Thread…

Geeze sorry for trying to help answer a question you had.. what a dickhead I am.

 

Ah, so even if an owner gives an interest-free loan to their club, that’s okay but PSR will still calculate it as if it had fair market value interest? I suppose that makes sense.

I think FFP/PSR isn’t the main issue with City right now. It’s that our owner is actually skint and needs the money to pay off Acun Medya’s debts, which he can’t do if City are losing £500,000 per week with no significant sellable assets. This is why I think there will be a fire sale based on what Howden has mentioned about players being told they need to go. He’ll basically asset-strip whatever has value at City so Acun Medya can pay their debts.

 

Surely it comes down to how much he wants to play football and which other clubs want him. If he's on a big wage at Leeds that no one else will match, then he'll maybe have to take a subsidised loan move, meaning the buying club wouldn't have to pay his full salary. So I'm not sure his Leeds wage will make a huge difference either way.

Biggest factor for us, obviously, is whether we stay up.

 

We ain't signing him regardless of his promotion clause.

 

I think you're allowing your righteous anger colour your judgment. As someone has already posted, do you really want to go back to 8,000 gates, massive hikes on passes, no concessions for kids and a general mood of resentment and a lack of ambition permeating the club? A friend of mine was an old school friend of Allam's sister, who threatened to report her to the club when she mentioned that she was lending a relative her pass for a game that she couldn't make. That's the attitude of the family we finally got shot of. Acun is a flawed character and certainly naiive but I would hope that, if we can get out of this ****, he'd have learned a hard lesson. Not sure Ehab has the character to do the same.

 

We’ve said that after every one of his ****-ups since he became owner. ‘He’ll learn his lesson and be more pragmatic’. It keeps getting worse. I also don’t buy that his heart is in the right place and he’s just a well-intentioned idiot. He’s a scummy businessman who cosied up to a dictator. He’s a propagandist and a lot of you are still falling for it.

 

have a kit kat

 

No, just pointing out the horrors of the alternative that we've all lived through and have no desire to see again.

 

Oh, piss off, Brady. You’re one of the most melodramatic people on here. One day you rate Joseph, the next he’s a non-league player. One day we’re winning our must-win games and staying up, the next you’re doomposting about relegation

 

i didnt say i rated him ever though

i said and im paraphrasing

he will need time and we need to keep the faith in him, the straw that broke the camels back for me was first half against preston, whenever the ball reached him which admittedly is not often, but when it did, his touch was awful, he can't hold it up
and that was compounded even more against derby

and gain, i tried to keep the faith in the players, but after derby, i lost every ounce of faith i had in them

you're acting like we are in the end times

 

You also flip-flopped between Walter In and Walter Out every other day. You taking the piss out of anyone for being fickle and dramatic is pot calling the kettle black.

 

i didnt

i just felt sorry for him after the oxford away game, was not nice for anyone to be in that position
thats all

 

It certainly won’t be forgotten, getting relegated this season is a ****ing catastrophe, beating Lincoln et al won’t change a thing.

 

Sorry if this is the wrong thread. Someone on twitter saying a Canadian consortium is lined up to buy us providing we stay up.

 

This might have already been asked and answered but if we're so in the **** financially why did we trigger the Puerta deal?

 

Because we’ve got no foresight at the club and needed to play him. Our track record with having obligations on loans under these are a sign of that

 

We didn't 'need' to play him. If we were really desperate to avoid his clause we would have put Crooks back in or played Gelhardt through the middle with Burstow on one of the wings.

 

I don't buy that for one second. They definitely have the foresight and even if you dont think they did the amount of times the club was asked earlier if Puerta wasn't playing because of the clause would have brought this to light. We also had other players that would have played.

We may not be flush with money and have to get rid of some of the wages if we go down but I don't believe we are as bad financially as some are making out.

 

Because it's all made up bollocks.

 

So Ehab's no longer coming to save the day?
