Well the rumour ? About the Man City young lad has ended , he's apparently going elsewhere , Hourihane to Fowls this week another rumour , hope that fails too
Whatever we get from sales this week--
1 It will be "undisclosed".
2 We will ev "made a profit on the player"
3 We will "retain an interest in the player"
We will just fail, despite hard work, to get incoming deals over the line in time
We have a squad of 26 players plus them out on loan do you really think we need anymore.
I'd trim the development squad down and only sign players that are first team ready and bring back reserve team football. Players not involved saturday or that don't come off the bench play for the reserves midweek and that squad is topped up with academy players where need be.
Nice one Dools.
1 Make £20 million "loan" (from own £8 billion fund) to "buy" club
2 Pay off loan back to your own account in yearly instalments from profits made by football club
3 After five/six years (we are in this for the long term) enough profit made from club to have paid off "loan"
4 Result, happiness--club assets are acquired at no cost to thissen.
All the above b0ll0cks ? Ask the OGC Nice fans. Minority 20% owner and CEO both resigned over use of £30 million profit to pay off loan instalment and prospect of more to come in future years.

Of the 26, only 17/18 are serious first team squad members (including injury prone Fryers, Hedges & Isgrove, plus the new lad Green).
You've got 2 back up keepers, plus youngsters Styles, Wolfe, Bird & Jordan Williams.
Realistically we've got 3 full backs, 3 centre backs & Fryers. Up front we've got Moore, Woodrow plus Victor as back up.
Midfield regulars could be Mowatt, Dougall, McGeehan, Thiam, Bahre & Brown.
Say we got to the play off final against Portsmouth/Sunderland and we had a couple of injuries and a player suspended (not unlikely).
If we were lucky and we were without 1 defender,a midfielder & a forward, could we be confident of a win?
If we without Pinnock, Thiam & Woodrow what team could we put out?
Davies, Cavare, Williams, Lyndsay, Jackson, Mowatt, Dougall, Brown, McGeehan, Moore & Victor.
Bench: Walton, Pinnilos, Fryers, Bahre, Green, Hedges & Isgrove (if fit).
That's it, there's nobody else.
This is all presuming we don't sell anyone else.
If you think that team could win at Wembley we don't need anyone else.
Don't say the injury/suspension thing couldn't happen - ask Spurs fans.
They lost 3 players 2 weeks ago and they've been knocked out of 2 cups, dropped out of contention for the league and will more than likely go out of Europe next week.
