Lee Clayton just reported that we have agreed a fee of £37m for Anderson, with bonuses potentially pushing it past £40m. Work permit has now been applied for.
It's great news about our recent signings but how comes, all of a sudden we are finding this money. ;hmm
Maybe because they have more trust in their new manager to be able to spend it wisely. Plus maybe the calibre of player we are getting is keen to work with a manager of the calibre we now have compared with previous managers we have had - ie better players now want to join us?
Percy: (comes back) Well, couldn't you just dip into the family fortune?
Edmund: There isn't one. My father blew it all on wine, women and amateur dramatics. At the end, he was eking out of a living doing humourous impressions of Anne of Cleeves.
Percy: (sympathetic) Oh, Edmund, I am sorry -- I had no idea. But do not despair, for I have some small savings carefully harvested from my weekly allowance, set aside against my frail old age. By lucky haps, it is just over a thousand, methinks, and has for years has been hidden beyond the wit of any thief, in an old sock...
Edmund and Percy: ...under the squeaky floorboard...
Baldrick, Edmund and Percy: ...behind the kitchen dresser.
Percy: (smiles, slightly warily) You've seen it!
Edmund: Seen it, pinched it, spent it. And same goes for the two farthings Baldrick thinks he's got hidden inside that mouldy potato.
I hope they along with our American board member as dipped into their pockets after thinking with this squad previously we will only ever be fighting relegation regularly so we need to upgrade, but fair play to them they have walked the walk and talked the talk so well done the board ;clap

We’ve posted some decent financials plus we’re probably still using Tabor facility
We must be back into positive shareholder’s equity for the group. It was negative previously (£-9m at YE May 17 (with a loss brought forward of £157m)). We would have made another £45m+ profit for YE May 18.
And he was doing so well. He should have continued to keep it buttoned. If Anderson and Balbuena fall through and other deals do aswell, he will then be accused of going against his word..
That's fair enough. No outrageous claims and no names mentioned. If he's spending what looks like it could be close to £100m I think he's allowed a little chirp.

If Anderson and Balbuena fall through it'll more likely be down to work permit issues.
Hopefully we can get Anderson over the line ASAP I reckon Ronaldo to Juventus is about to kick off a massive domino effect and possibly see another inflation.
