Summer transfer window 2023

[Tel001]

Why does this seem all too real

Beacuse it’s based on a true story?

 

[Bkk Andy]

Not one for me to answer mate. But I think it's telling that we keep hearing the phrase 'cashflow' these days.

I think it's safe to say that the P&S/FFP situation helped the club in curtailing spending - ready made excuse to not really spend on the squad.

It looks more and more likely that the real money has been sanctioned

 

[Bkk Andy]

Yes, I think our best hope for this window is that the football side has effectively "loaned" the 40m Gordon money to the stadium side but that they will get at least some of it back when the MSP money arrives, but that could leave us with another late scramble. Even that is optimistic, and if we're back to sell to buy despite the Gordon and Kean sales we are running out of assets to fund what's needed for the squad.

And we'll end up with a stadium we don't need in a lower league. We have to fund some signings no matter how it's done. We need a striker even if we pay in magic beans.

We need to sell before we can buy.

Transfer window has been open for approx 7 hours now…. And bed sheets are truly wringing already … we’ll be posting here wearing snorkels when we hit august

It’s the striker thing that’s making people edgy I think, if in the next week we got Dembele or done a deal for that Piroe it would calm everyone down.

 

[stipsy_melbourne]

What is a Piroe?

There’s more to drinking than just beer you realise.

 

[Billy Dean]

Uh-oh

 

[Kurt.]

Uh-oh

I’ve got a feeling we’d probably end up with William

We need to sell before we can buy effectively.

I think the club know that we need to generate some cash and shrink the wage bill, so they're going about sorting that first before we can finalise targets.

I don't think that's generally a bad thing, however my one concern is the club's ability to get the squad slimmed down AND then get the suitable targets in.

With our board's current position, I worry this may be a rough summer - there'll be business though.

 

[Zeitgeist]

I will find it a bit crazy if we have no funds again. When will it end

 

[Mr Happy]

We need to sell before we can buy.

That's just you speculating. It could be true. It could also not be.
