I’m fully expecting it to happen likeYup I'll go along with that. Would absolutely luv the stadium expansion get the go ahead.

Even the announcement would p*ss them lot up the road offI’m fully expecting it to happen like![]()

I see no reason why we wouldn’t.Yeah I just don't think we would ever want to
Its much less common now as they wouldnt want to give a player for no monetary value on the books and we wouldnt want to reduce the benefit of a sale - what would just end up happening is they pay full whack and then we'd buy the player off them for what they deem full value.I see no reason why we wouldn’t.
Why wouldn’t we want to do a deal that gets us a valuable player? Lots of clubs do those kind of deals, we’ve just never had the calibre of player to do it.
Aye well, even if it is a case of 2 seperate transfers to do it, the point is we could say ‘if we selling you Sadiki we want Lavia’.Its much less common now as they wouldnt want to give a player for no monetary value on the books and we wouldnt want to reduce the benefit of a sale - what would just end up happening is they pay full whack and then we'd buy the player off them for what they deem full value.
But more likely the team buying our player won't be the team we want to sign a replacement off so it just won't happen imo.
Yeah I get what you mean, I suppose I'm just always going to stay in the opinion we should look to find value abroad - probably just me being tight.Aye well, even if it is a case of 2 seperate transfers to do it, the point is we could say ‘if we selling you Sadiki we want Lavia’.
If it’s 2 seperate deals so be it, it’s bargaining power.
Definitely not mate that’s absolutely the golden route.Yeah I get what you mean, I suppose I'm just always going to stay in the opinion we should look to find value abroad - probably just me being tight.
Get to 40 points and then announce the expansion. We could then get some new flags made with the expanded stadium on for the Visitors game! Really rub their noses in it.I’m fully expecting it to happen like![]()
Twist on this for me is simply when you sell you use the additional funds to buy better and build. The aim is to be the top 6 club rather than just sell to them, getting into Europe and build the income stream further.I think people are talking about players leaving because that’s the reality of the premier league in 2026 and it’s literally our model and it won’t be changing any time soon.
If big offers come in from a top 6 side and the player fancies it we won’t step in the way, we will bank the profit and find the next gem to replace them.
Thats how you have to survive in this league outside of the rich clubs club.
I would actually get used to that if I could offer any advice at all. It’ll be easier at that point haha.
It’s not necessarily a bad thing either and it doesn’t mean we will sell a load of them too. But some of the hotter prospects will be tempted away it’s jus the reality
The club certainly did that last summer!Yeah I get what you mean, I suppose I'm just always going to stay in the opinion we should look to find value abroad - probably just me being tight.
Dont know if carries over but understand the current last until July 1st so we could see early business with some clubs needing to make sakes to complyDo the new financials rules benefit us? I know we’ve built up a healthy PSR but does that still carry over into the new rules?! Don’t mind selling a player a summer to help build but I would hate to be gutted. Another massive summer incoming on amd off the pitch
Not sure when the new rules take effect, but did hear something about a transition period which has a few clubs, including the visitors and Villa looking over their shoulders.Do the new financials rules benefit us?

I think people will see whats going on here and will want to join this project,Just supposing we did qualify for Europe even the minor ones would our players want to go? Yes they can go to bigger clubs, yes they can earn more money but their is a camaraderie here and the players are still young.
I would like to think the "project" that has been sold to them would mean some of them would give us another season to see how we do.
Probably dreaming and more hopeful than anything but lets see.
Wouldn’t be a bad trip that. Istanbul is stunning, the stadium is stunning too.I think people will see whats going on here and will want to join this project,
its not flashy, but its subtle, something is forming,
even if we get the cons league europe cup, its something and a stepping stone
Also Not606 team trip to the final?
The 2026/27 UEFA Conference League final will take place at Beşiktaş Stadium in Istanbul, Turkey, on 2nd June, 2027.

Exactly mate, I think they'll continue to do so rather than pay the heftier fees for big 6 reserves.The club certainly did that last summer!
