The opportunity hasn't been missed yet. In the current situation it would be crazy to build a new stand without the money in the bank. But I would suggest that the board is being prudent and thinking there is no point in building a stand if, as seems likely, a vaccine isn't found. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In fact it was calling out a derogatory reply. The thread will go on regardless. And what does you having "the club at heart" have anything to do with anything?

No because you budget per year on wages on your normal income not on the income which is when we sell high value Players that would be where we were before , you can not put that 9 million away for the whole of the contract that is not how accounts work budget yes but not come off transfer income as you will also be saving the players wages you are selling Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I understand clubs usually informally talk with agents to ascertain interest etc before negotiating with clubs. Or else every club with a vague interest would have to agree a fee first before they could even see if they are wasting their time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Currently, under FIFA and FA transfer rules, if a club wants to procure the services of a player registered with another club, they must speak directly with that club and not to the player or his representatives. The player and his representatives will only be brought in for discussions with the potential purchasing club once the two clubs have agreed a fee. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought it was ok if the owning club gives permission, so A C Milan can ask Godfreys agent if he would like to move and what sort of wages etc before they agree a fee but only with NCFC permission Of course they will know a figure we have in mind first Edited August 2, 2020 by norfolkngood Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

South Sider 114 Posted August 2, 2020 Had a good long read through this thread. The main question that springs to mind is: Have some of you actually heard yourselves? Jesus. No wonder this forum is becoming a medium for people to just abuse each other. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
