Sounds like a cop out but one of those things where I can't really say as it would put someone's job at risk. But I would be massively surprised if he isn't here really soon Edit.... Not someone working for the club. I have no inside info from the club. Just someone who knows something in this particular case 5 Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe Mr Gibson could buy 10000 season tickets at the new revised price of a thousand pound each. That would inject 10 million into the club of his own money. Seems more plausible than selling the stadium to himself!! Not likely to do this though given how much he has ploughed into his new house. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Lurker 2,118 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Fulham enquired about Britt before, I know he's a different type of player but could see them coming back in for him if Mitrovic's injury is as bad as it seems. 6 Link to post Share on other sites

Could wor Steve not just deposit 10k in his bank account every week to top up the wages we could offer, off the books? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

But how far off game time is he? Someone said the other day that he is only due back in light training and looks far off any sort of playing form. Wouldn’t that deter any team needed a striker ASAP?

Genuine question but could he employ him at bulkhaul on £25k a week, like would we get away with it as a loophole? Link to post Share on other sites

There are definitely loopholes that can be used. Not sure if this is one of them but they are there. If selling a stadium to yourself is deemed legit then buying season tickets at inflated prices to pump money in, use the club as an agency and sign a youth player using the club as an agent and demand an agent fee of 10 million etc. Link to post Share on other sites
