Probably right. I have been saying for probably two years or more we won't move forward with Bill and Moshiri heading things up they're catastrophic clowns. We have to hope we can scrape into the new stadium then get owners who can run a football club in 2023! That could be MSP increasing their shares or could be another group but it has to happen this club is circling the drain.

What's sickening is the fans helped keep this club up two years running yet there's zero communication about the future or direction or plans, Thelwell talked to the FAB weeks ago but the club hasn't released the interview. They think sticking their heads in the sand and staying silent is the strategy, or worse still putting put puff pieces on Michael Keane and Maupay is enough, it's an insult to the fanbase and not how a modern club operates, it also increases the anger.

Didn’t we scout Mykolenko before Benitez even got here. I am sure I remember people where saying Brands liked him before the fat one even became the manager. Could be wrong tho.

Correct Mykolenko was extensively scouted and Rafael was just happy to have another option to Lucas Digne

That’s by far the worst part of it. Total lack of comms, and whenever they do speak it’s an utter car crash.

If they say -‘you know what, everything is going to the stadium, this window is going to be another beg,steal and borrow one and we are going to have grin and bear it until the stadium is done’ - think the fanbase would unite behind dyche and at least can pull behind some underdog status next year.

As it is, it’s just another complete mess.

Myko - 20 mil
Onana - 35 mil
Patterson - 16 mil
Maupay - 15 mil
McNeil - 20 mil
Garner - 15 mil

That’s just some of the signings over the past 2 seasons, god knows how much dele will end up costing

It doesn’t scream to me we are in a financial mess and can’t afford to buy anyone especially when in the same 2 seasons we have made significant money from the sales of Digne, Richarlison, Gordon and Kean


We got 39 mil this season, 100 mil last season and 46 mil the season before. Sales totalling around 185 mil with purchases totalling around 120 mil so there is gap of around 65 mil there.

That’s clearly the Gordon and moise keane money that hasn’t been spent yet

So the notion that we have no money is false

What is probably true though is that we do have money but the club just doesn’t want to spend it

I think that is nailed on. We have money to plump the balance sheet & make us look attractive to people wanting a piece of us

Right, don't shoot the messenger here, you can take this however you want but the latest View From the Bullens podcast was one of the most depressing listens I have ever heard. Won't list everything they said, but some lowlights are:
- nothing to El Bilal Toure. No talks, nothing. Just scouted him.
- An overall budget of £25-30m without further sales.
- Putting everything into Elanga, relying on Utd doing us a favour, but Utd want more money than we are prepared to pay. Forest in now.
- Club have record lows in terms of cashflow within the business - worst ever apparently.
- Need almost all budget to go to stadium.
- Dyche happy to work with lack of players coming in. Not rocking the boat, as he is used to it.

Also learnt that the recruitment team did not recommend Mykolenko, Benitez just signed him as he liked him.

A genuinely awful situation.

That's BS on Mykolenko.
