It’s the big unknown that isn’t really broken down in the accounts. Undoubtedly costs incurred by Ashton Gate Ltd and Bristol Sport, charged to Football, but lord knows what else.

No, he runs back into it, flapping his arms ?

No

Can’t divide by 35 using fingers and toes. Not even a Swindon supporter can!

It’s quite possible that the new FFP rules will change this, and actually release transfer profit into the “turnover” column as and when it is received….but you are ? right as it stands. Yes, me too…but probably also shows we won’t just buy anyone. I think Naismith will be the “mover” if we get injuries at the back. We have enough midfielders even if means tweaking how we play.

??

We still have stupidly high “other costs” that drags it down. Nige is doing his bit on the pure football side, other parts of the business need to do their bit too. The important thing is to get to a point where if we sold no-one we stay within the £13m per year…and a player sale becomes a bonus. I can’t believe we become so reliant on sales, and big ones at that. Foolish strategy. I wouldn’t say “exceptionally”, but that’s me splitting hairs. You are right about getting time. But the mess was so big, if you don’t give it time you never sort it out, or have to sort it out in Lg1…or even worse spiral further down the leagues. Decision made for “P&L” not football. It is definitely more his squad, it is his squad (that’s actually what I said), so not sure why you’re suggesting I said different. The point I’m making is that it’s not the squad he’d have chosen had he had 2 years to spend freely, like others had…and we should remain cautious.

Yes, he looks like he’s trying to become Korey-like. My worry for Dylan is that he is Tyreeq Bakinson v2…but without T’s range of passing. That’s harsh, and at 19 he has plenty of time. But it will be good to see him out of age group football. I know others on here really rate him, so hopefully that shines through.

Yeah, I would expect Pring to come in…he didn’t lose the shirt. Sykes, Tanner, Scott and Williams have all come straight back in this season, although Tanner’s was straight after the World Cup.

It is….but it’s a compromised squad, a squad “developed” out of necessity in the main. It is not his chosen squad. That starts to happen in the summer. So let’s recognise that before we get too carried away!

Both played important parts last season, so good luck to them in their next journeys. Stories that Klose has been excellent with the u21s.

Bit of watching “my name is Earl” with the kids….come back to OTIB to see this thread moved and re-titled. karma for @Bcfc24 ???

You watched it…all 12 mins of it…Rennie explains. No it’s not a discount sofa company. ?

Not really, but clear he’s never done an “SDS” before.

I find them interesting. Wonder what it’s like coming into a dressing room full of strangers, especially from lower League…must be quite nervy for him. Little things like “Phlegm” actually telling him his name, no expectation that he’d know who Curtis Fleming was.

He may well have, but only on the proviso that Luton sign the forward they are after. If they do, then they send off to the registration body. If not, they either rip it up, or see if the deal can still be done. The stories are he’s been down, done the medical, etc. obviously I don’t know if that’s fact.

Sounds like the reason now tonight’s team announcement is out of the way.

I said earlier “there’s another club in the timing of the decision”.

I don’t think anyone is gonna come in between now and 1st July and offer us more than €300k to stop him becoming a free agent.

And that is probably why no Cornick announcement…Edwards not wanting to give Luton’s opponents a sniff of the team,

Someone on here told me there were players at the HPC last night. Think other said youngsters were cleared out early too for medical. I guess nobody (maybe 1 or 2) had heard of / seen Massengo when that French Journo brought him to our attention. You can even add in the the “Anis” bit too. Mehmeti scored a goal bam-a-lam

Just started doing the rounds…might be fake?

Aug then

Says his name is Dave?
