Plus those players wanted to leave, no good keeping someone at a club that doesn't want to be here, also when their contracts run out we would get less for them.

Really DD?? I try not to get involved in the politics on here and stick to footballing matters but are you just WUMMING?

Brady and Olsson were long gone before the new manager came in. Howson refused to sign a new contract and would leave next year for free. Jacob wanted to go to the club he supports and we were offered a good fee. Neither Jacob nor Howson are international players?

How many times does the club need to say - "we need to be realistic with our finances and live within our means"? It's a pretty basic concept to understand.

The point I thought I was making abundantly clear was we sold about £35m worth of quality international players and spent less than £2m on their replacements .
Obviously we need to cut our cloth accordingly and all the other clichés but being patient with husband won't make him play anywhere near as well as Brady or Ollsson.
Free transfers are usually free because nobody wants to buy them .

Weirdly enough the posters that accept that even if we play 4 out of 6 seasons in the Premier League, we can't make a profit and will need to sell our best players but the most reluctant for new outside investment.

I'm happy to get outside investment and have no love for Delia who has failed many times over in the running of this footballclub. But I can also accept that we have failed to turn a profit and that having missed first time promotion that we now need to sell to self fund.
It is relatively simple if not a little disappointing.

We have spent all we can on in theory better players and their higher wages. That that money was invested poorly in general is hardly in dispute, but spent, it was. we could have made a profit had we not made signings or paid more wages, but that would also have been heavily critisised. The board did as far as I can tell, all they could with the resources to hand. They bought poorly and the managers have to take a lot of blame for that but the board do too.
Had Webber been brought in at the same time as Hootun then maybe we would be established PL by now and winging about something else entirely. Who knows?

Bah!

You can make a profit if you are wise in the transfer market but if you waste millions on the likes of RVW and make poor financial buys like Naismith - I still rate him as a player but he was a terrible financial proposition - in attempts to stay up you will not make a profit. I,for one, am only wary of outside investment because of how it has failed at many Clubs and I don't want that to happen here.

Wildshut too ?
Someone's to blame within the club for those gaffs.
 
How can it be "within the club" ? It was an employee of the club, hired by McNalley, who targeted the purchase of those players, and then had no idea of how to utilise them. Many millions unnecessarily down the drain, Hopefully, the new system, implemented from "within the club", will eradicate such excessive mistakes..

Whilst I take your point, the people in place within the club at the time who approved the Wildshut signing were as much at fault as AN. ANy fool could see that he was not a player needed for a critical position low on numbers. So Delia et al on the board who approved such an out lay for a player that was not critical must take on board a large proportion of the blame. If they were not involved in that decision they appointed someone dull enough to approve it.
In the credit column they have now appointed a DoF who should ensure it never happens again.

Bah!

We have shelled out less than Wildshut for 10 players and he still can't get a game <laugh>

Nope nobody's fault within the club's employees it was just a random act with nobody to blame.
 
HITC claim NCFC have won the race to sign Sean Raggett and will loan him straight back to Lincoln.

I won't post the link because it's only HITC, let's wait for some reliable news! <ok>

Based on the twitter talk, if this is actually true. Would be pretty exciting. (even though he'd be loaned back this season).
