Swap deal with Gayle and Rondon looks just about tied up, with option to buy.
A swap deal? What the hell is going on at Barrack Road?
Where’s the cash? I know it’s a private company, but when your business model effectively needs you to stay in the PL to survive, and prosper, to not be spending money on the only “staff” that can make your product in the only window of opportunity to do so seems hugely odd.
We know about the amount TV has put in, public information, we know the profits on sales. Where has the cash gone? It stinks. Is fraud too big a word to be bandying about? But it doesn’t seem to stack up in any way at all.

The playing staff is threadbare beyond the first 11 and we are even struggling with that. I had hoped Joselu would have been bought by SAFC, but we are faced with the prospect of him getting time on the pitch, at least from the bench.
It wouldn't be so bad if we had a strong youth setup but that's got no better in the last 10 years either.
Praying for a takeover this year but I think the most likely scenario is Rafa leaving at the end of the season. Ashley will then line some other mug up to be his mouthpiece (maybe Pards!).

If WBA are willing to do a swap, Gayle being proven in the championship but not outstanding in the Prem, for Rondon then it begs the question why do we think its an improvement and why do WBA want to part with him?
There is money going WBA way I believe, so they probably see it as an asset to sellUpdate: Rondon in the Toon to sign.
Also The Times reports that MA is unwilling to spend money not yet received, so as we await funds in for deals that cash in unavailable to spend. An approach different to pretty much every other club in the world.
While the business part of my brain lauds this approach of not taking on debt, assuming this is true, why the hell does he not just match cash flow payments out with those in, thus freeing up the capital for Rafa?

Really? We're in League One, we can't afford players like that! It wouldn't be so bad if we had a strong youth setup but that's got no better in the last 10 years either.

Shouldn't have bought 'em, or kerb the direct debit if it's paid for via one of those schemes.
As if he was ever going to change his tune; been hearing for years about how the fans will walk away because of how he carries on, he's ripping the piss out of you all.
Hope you lads get it sorted; chumps like him are a stain on decent footy.
Just imagine if he was to buy West Ham. I think you'd explode.As if he was ever going to change his tune; been hearing for years about how the fans will walk away because of how he carries on, he's ripping the piss out of you all.

Well we’re reaaaallllllyyy trying to sign, on loan, a full back from Barca.
The issue ‘is’ a work permit one.
What odds “we tried” being trotted out at about 6pm tomorrow evening?
Anyone else looking forward to the inevitable “no more business” on Sky sports at about 3pm?
Sick of their lies.

That old chestnut? We've been on the receiving end of that one a good few times ourselves over the years; bloody useless.The issue ‘is’ a work permit one.

Best of luck lads, looks like you're gonna need it - cheaped out on again.
