As we all know, player recruitment is financed by player sales. The football department is financially self contained. Inheacho out- Duran in. Maeda out- Hogh in. that's why we have a waiting game, a bottleneck. Some of the player sales money also goes towards wages. Season tickets, merchandise, sponsorship money goes towards running the club.

Schmeichel out - nobody in.
Saracchi out - nobody in.
Yamada out - nobody in.
I could go in if you wish but I'm m sure you see the flaw with your statement.

We have a 70 million bottleneck ????.

Only to a certain extent and shouldn't be the way to recruit. what if engels and aj go in the last hour of the deadline day. how do we replace.

Thats exactly what the board will be hoping Drb. Then they'll roll out "we didn't have time to replace them" line.

There is no flaw as I also said "some of the sales money goes to wages".
We know the £70 is their rainy day fund.
I'm not justifying it. I'm saying that's why we have this frustrating wait. When Engles and / or Johnston, just watch how, all of a sudden, the obstacles are cleared.

Aye, we've got the most valuable biscuit tin on the planet.

What if? When you start a conversation with that there is no end to the possibilities? I get scepticism but our negative or positive posts affect nothing. There are definitely reasons to be optimistic imo I think that surely that deserves the time to see what transpires.
Repeatedly posting the same issues we are all well aware of. is just laborious. Ed maybe you can start a new page specifically for board bashing and the banter and rumour pages can be banter and rumour pages? ?.
{Ed007's Note - Do you all think it's got that bad? ?♂️ It would be hard to do though as if it's a reply to a post it either goes on the thread or deleted what chance have I got when wee John (United Ireland) bible quotes were getting trolled! That was an English Ed just tidying up waiting posts btw.}
