Maybe it’s leaked by the club. Whilst it may attract the low-ballers like Spuds for our players, but it may keep the price of our targets reasonable.

The bit that does make me sceptical on that figure is signing Ned in January. Unless we were competing with others, or he would have been significantly more post July then it seems an odd choice if you’re needing to make up that big of a gap.

Some article in “footballer insider” stating we need to raise £60m from player sales to avoid being in breach. That seems pretty high to me, but I hope it’s not the case.

I can’t see it being that much. Based on our request for the allowable losses being upped by £30m, that could be the figure. If it’s more than that we might have been working on the principles that a £60m increase was even less likely to be voted through, and every little helps.

And on top of all that, I’m not sure how Football Insider would know.

Yes hopefully it’s inaccurate- if it is though that’s a pretty poor place to have gotten ourselves into.

It's Football Insider, accuracy isn't exactly their forte.

I’m assuming it’s that Maguire bloke again, who seems to keep changing his mind.

Adidas Villa Park has a ring to it.
Had anyone suggesting asking Wes Edens about getting Fortress Investment Group to sponsor the stadium. We could call it ....

Yes, suggested by Risso, me and someone else. I’m pretty sure I was first.

I note with interest that Newcastle have bid £15m for that young Burnley keeper, Trafford is it?

Seems that’s two clubs (Chelsea is the other one) that can be crossed off Sky’s list of skint pricks that HAVE TO SELL PLAYERS BEFORE THE END OF JUNE!!!

Sky deleted the articles according to some northern newspaper. I linked it earlier in the thread.

I think they looked at an article by Football Insider, or the like, & got a bit excited.

They even hyped up a "mini transfer window" on Sky Sports News...

That is not much more then what Burnley paid, and I'm guessing there might be a sell on fee as well.
