If he doesn't sign its more worrying. Not getting someone you bid for 4 times this late in the day! I'm confident we'll get this one "over the line"

we wouldn’t have bid 4 times if he didn’t want to join. Doesn’t mean Exeter will accept tho as he has a long deal and they’re ok for cash apparently

as you say hopefully the news is a day late and he’s already sorted or on his way up

Aye but at least we have known nout about any of this til the 4th bid, more encouraging behind the scenes that things are happening and its not a 30 odd year old lichaj etc. Im confident we will be optimistic in 2 weeks

He's 2 years left. Your right they don't need cash but we've seen ourselves when a player or agents head is turned ther can only be one outcome.

Agree about Lichaj and that this would be a step in the right direction signing players for now and the future for a change. It means nothing if you can't get them in the building though.
 
Super Kiev over the road seems to think this is true (or at least very close to being true).

Worth pointing out there's no indication they've accepted, or will accept, the bid. They're ok for money due to the Watkins stuff
Very true, but I’m saying that they might have a model in place so they can use their assets for regular cash injections especially with add ins such as sell on fees etc, just me speculating

Everybody needs cash man!
 
1. We're a basket case of a club, enough to make anyone think twice before signing for us.
2. Back to point 1. The one thing we're guaranteed to need to stabilise is TIME. Anyone who thinks a business model can simply be dropped onto safc and work seamlessly from the off is living in cloud cuckoo land. God knows what else is still coming out of the woodwork after Toot & Ploot's stewardship.
Wrexham, were taken over at about the same time as SAFC, but they only had a manager change after the season ended.

Yet they have just signed the L2 golden boot and L2 player of the season winner - as a National League side it is the equivalent of us signing the Golden Boot winner from the Championship!

That is what can happen when your club gets its arse into gear and your rich (but not as rich as our) ownership realises that sustainability and spending are not mutually exclusive goals!

Are our backroom staff less talented than those of Wrexham?

But they appointed Parky. I'm out.
 
If Salma Hayek offered you a shag but couldn't come over until next week once her husband goes away, would you wait for her? Or go on tinder and find the most accessible bird?

A lot of our fans want us to do the latter to make sure we get a shag before the first game of the season.
I get the feeling that if we were referring to SAFC then we would be twisting because Salma wanted us to pay her PA to arrange her trip over here and instead of getting a top shag in a couple of weeks then we would end up with no shag now and doing a frantic tinder sweep in a few weeks!
