Transfer Rumours Summer '22 Transfer Thread

[originallambrettaman]

This is utterly pointless (and in some cases bloody stupid) speculation, wait for the accounts to come out and then you can actually argue about what really happened.

Toasty said short term loan they tried to Repay early but the FA wouldn't allow them until the sale completed, that was the original question mark.

No, KLP was used to pay for transfers, despite spending more than that already and us not yet having received all the KLP fee.

That was being alleged.

Definition of corrupt? Different cultures operate businesses different ways. Never done this before but here goes. FACT

There’s always been subtle xenophobia about foreign capitalists, as if British or American businessmen can’t be crooks either.

Are you now trying to argue with yourself?

The transfers have been registered in July so I think we need to wait another year before we see much in the accounts anyway.

No, I've always said we were spending over and above the KLP fee.

That was supposed to be a reply to you saying the loan paid for Transfers.

ST was suggesting that KLP had to be sold to fund the transfers as the loan was paid back from Corendon money.

And is shagging his ex?

yeah he’s gone back to the one before who’s just not quite the same

The facts are that we only won games when we camped in our own half, 5 defenders, 2 holding midfielders. Anytime we tried to play expansive we lost. Had injuries to full backs not happened and Grant persisted with 4-3-3 earlier in the season we’d likely have got relegated. These players did their job keeping us up playing a restrictive hard working and defensively sound style. They were never going to be long term options playing the style we are apparently looking to build

spot on

I keep seeing people say if we sign Nwakaeme it'll be an incredible signing, why is that? Wikipedia says he's a winger who scores ~10 goals a season which seems pretty good, but is there more to it? I'm just curious why he seems to be so well-known and highly rated on here.

CM, FM & FIFA.

Travel expenses are going to be a huge item in the accounts. I can’t remember what he quoted the cost to fill up his plane was (I wanna say £200,000 per journey, but could be massively wrong). If he doesn’t miss a match and then the personal touch for all these transfer targets, that’s a lot of £200,000’s.
Mind, I have to pay for my own travel to watch City, surely he should? Hope he pays for his own bloody beer too?

As I recall, it cost something like £12,500 to fill his plane up. Although that was a few months ago, probably closer to £20,000 now.

He’s not very good on FM

He’s a journalist who has worked across the world for nearly 40 years, so will have a good understanding of how different cultures operate in business.
Someone described him as ‘shady’ earlier in this thread. I was backing that up. But you’re right, what we see as shady may not be viewed that way in other cultures.
He also stated that to have got on in business there, you have to be very well in with Erdogan (which I think he has confirmed their friendship?). Ergodan was last year listed as the fourth most corrupt person by the Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project.

Doesn't point towards someone who buys a football club he can't afford to finance though.

Points to others who can .

Do you think Darth Vadar was worried about finance when he got the Death Star if he could not afford it, stick to the dark side Padawan.

Any chance this is the premier league loan a few here have suggested?

 

[Mckechnie Orange]

It's an owner paying himself money. They closed that loophole after the stadia issue.

There are still inflated sponsorships around from linked companies.

I mean, not to say the UK is on par with Turkey in terms of autocracy and corruption, but politics and finance in the UK isn’t squeaky clean. Dodgy PPE contracts, a Track and Trace app that was a dud, Partygates (plural), the former chancellor’s non-dom wife, peerages for donors etc.

As far as I’m aware, our new owner hasn’t broken any laws or rules regarding the financing of the club.

It isn’t squeaky clean anywhere. I would say we are better than most.
