ABH 470 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Idea appointment for the shef wed board. Now pulis can take the blame off the fans for the clubs failings over the last couple of years 😉 Link to post Share on other sites

Don’t know how long he has to wait or how many months pay has to be missed though. Link to post Share on other sites
Neverbefore 10,940 Posted December 17, 2020 Author Share Posted December 17, 2020 Didn't they continue buying players as close as 2 months ago too? Link to post Share on other sites

They did have a few players leaving according to transfermarkt so there seems to generally be a lot of replacing what had left... but they certainly didn't seem afraid of stepping into the market and promising wages to players.

Old Codger 3,063 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Is it too early to start the annual Boro interested in Adam Reach thread or are we not bothering this year? 🙂 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I'm 100% certain I read somewhere that he had a huge falling out with the West Brom board, because he wanted to sell Berahino (and take his cut) and they didn't want to sell him.

Wonder if Pulis is still being paid? He will have made sure to have a clause in the contract that says he must be the first person at the club to be paid. Link to post Share on other sites

In that particular transfer they should have listened to him. What a dud berahino became. Link to post Share on other sites
oldman 155 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Time for a cheeky 0.5 million bid for Barry Bannan with him only having months left on his contract Link to post Share on other sites

He got sued by Palace as well didn't he? Over a bonus/sign on fee if I recall correctly. Bit of an unscrupulous character, to think he profited personally from us selling Bamford, Traore and Gibson is a bit sickening. Link to post Share on other sites

To be fair at the time he was on fire, but as you say his career path has taken a dive off a cliff since. Link to post Share on other sites
DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Might see a bit of a fire sale in Ligue 1 (France), their main TV deal has collapsed entirely. There was a €3.2 Billion deal over 4 years agreed, but after only 4 months the company (Mediapro) hasn't been able to keep up with it's scheduled installments. It equates to roughly €800 million per year, the 2nd highest deal they have with broadcasters brings in €330 Million, huge difference.  Link to post Share on other sites

sanddancer 1,967 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 (edited) Anyone else feel gutted Tier 3 was not lifted. I support the restrictions because it’s global and we are no different in the way we are trying to combat the virus. It’s a shame people deny there is a risk and continually ignore the rules allowing the virus to spread. I know of people who think it a conspiracy but for what reason none can explain. Having relocated back to the U.K. due to health (back problem), age and down turn in the oil and gas construction industry I started a company around a year ago and fell foul of the first lockdown. Best bet of opening second week Jan. As it’s a new business i, we, a partner can’t claim a penny in support and have invested over £65k. I can tell you with no income personnel savings just vaporise. Of course at my age I can’t start over again or recover my savings and I don’t want nor ever had state help. I know if I loose everything it could be the end, it’s  worrying with sleepless nights to the point depression, but I look at others around me, and there fight for survival, and think, you have to do this, you have to reinvent, keep going, stay positive because if it is successful not only will I survive but we create jobs for local people who also need a lifeline. I can tell you though, and I’m not a moderate drinker by any means, but I miss a trip to the local and I could murder a pint with friends. Link to post Share on other sites
