Wouldn't a loan to buy for Twine fit that exactly. BTW I didn't buy the prior 'pot is empty' statements previously. However, this deal is exactly as described recently for the business we'd do. 100%. I was struggling to see why a loan to buy makes sense, but given your first paragraph it makes perfect sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday you said there were people who said that Manning was the best manager since Pep. When challenged you then changed it to the best young manager in the country. You said it was plenty of people as well. I can’t find one. Stop being disingenuous and taking things so personally and you might have a nicer experience on here "I'm gonna write a post attacking you personally and then tell you not to take it personally" As I don't want to see your personal posts anymore you're on ignore.

But I suspect the fee Burnley want and the amount JL is willing to pay is too far apart even if both sides make compromises. This is where people like Ashton and Gould earn their money. Absolutely delighted to be proven wrong, but I just feel that we don't have anyone on board that can get the sort of players we need through the door. Consider me to be absolutely delighted 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 56 minutes ago, GrahamC said: Yes you’re right but as the risk of straying into politics I don’t think football genuinely expected the pandemic to last as long & decimate finances in the way it subsequently did. My hunch therefore (I’m clearly not Joe Williams’ agent) is he & Chris Martin who we signed at a similar time, were on top wages for us in the Ashton wra. Not Kalas or Wells ones (then) but right up there. We were one of the more bullish clubs too iirc, not so much in what we spent but in terms of hope and ability to get moving swiftly again.

Mr Popodopolous Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 (edited) 3 hours ago, TomThumb84 said: Without getting dragged into this again, the issue is not the quality that Tinnion identifies, but more about who they allow to then buy the identified talent. Who knows? The £2.5m (minimum) if spent in August could have had us top 4 currently. Dunno about top 4, but top 6 or right on the cusp up there with Hull, Sunderland and maybe West Brom depending on the player. Plus Coventry of course.

Numero Uno Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 5 minutes ago, Ghost Rider said: Sounds like he may have done a decent job then? Depending on his involvement which should be significant given he's DoF, yes, you are correct tbf. We have signed a player that suits Manning's way of playing to complement a large number that clearly don't (hence his 1.25 points per game versus Nige's 1.28 ppg at time of sacking - to all intents and purposes the same). My view is a few more need to come in (and go out) by the end of July and if we show signs that the new players can turn us into a genuine top end side playing Manning's style then at that point doubts about the DoF's ability and qualifications to do his job will probably recede a bit. This is the start of Jon and Tinnion proving to those that doubt them that they can deliver the sound bites or not. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerseybean Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 Knot sure when Twine will unravel but assuming (1) he signs on loan and (2) we have an option to buy and (3) at a sensible fee e.g. nowhere near £5m I will be pleased for BCFC to tie this up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
