Davefevs Posted August 30, 2023 Report Share Posted August 30, 2023 As it stands there is no rush to complete this by Friday, so it might be immaterial to us in this window. I think the £1m+ quoted probably comes from me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might come to a mutually beneficial amount if we could nab someone on loan / option to buy. All a bit late in the day though. I can’t see any guidance to suggest £1m but every chance I’m not looking in the right place! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have just sold someone for £25m & Pearson has only been allowed to spend £700k. Why does anyone seriously think he would get any money to spend now if we get another £1m? I’m getting sick of that question and it’s only been a few hours! That £1m is more likely going to go to paying off Pearson and the coaches. 54 minutes ago, GrahamC said: Loving the blind optimism on here.

The £1m(ish) I put in the past was just my guesswork based on other cases like Harvey Elliott, Cresswell, etc. none of those had a previous fee of €3m either. Does that make sense? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elruliri Posted August 30, 2023 Report Share Posted August 30, 2023 We may see some players from the downs league coming in from this fee. Don't knock it, I think Tony Cook signed about 60 years ago from the downs league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Ian M Posted August 30, 2023 Admin Report Share Posted August 30, 2023 The knowledge that we will likely not make a loss this season will give me a warm fuzzy feeling inside as we labour to break down teams every fortnight at Ashton Gate. Who else is excited to think how much we can get for Conway in the Summer?

Yep and what you have to factor in is we are probably a a couple windows behind because we couldn’t spend much in previous windows. This squad could use another 3-4 players in the 1-2m range and the wages that come with them. We are short on quality. 8 hours ago, Riaz said: No but as a loss making entity, making 20m losses a year, you wouldn’t expect us to spend massive amounts Not sure that is true. We did have 20m losses through covid and maybe before without a sale but we won’t be near there again. Think with normal trading we’ll probably be more in the 8-10m losses range which is well under the 13m allowed through FFP. Is Lansdown’s to spend so if he doesn’t want to do up to 13m a season then that is fine. However, he should stop telling people he wants promotion if thats the case 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
