You have put the decimal point in the wrong place.
If that fee is correct someone at Forest needs to have a medical

Re: Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
When footballers I've never heard of are being signed for £40,000,000 by a team that hasn't played top division football for quarter of a century I think I'm living in a Championship Manager saved game.

Re: Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
He’s a good player but my lord that fee is extortionate.
I stick by the view that we sold McNeil remarkably cheap based on that.
How can City have signed Haaland for 50m but Gibbs white is worth 44m.
Taking money out of it. Forrest have managed to build quite an exciting squad. With there manager and squad I wouldn’t be surprised to see them finish mid table

Re: Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
Haaland had that figure built into his contract so that he could leave and demand a wage of half a million a week. Without that clause he would have gone for £200m….or even higher.Newcastleclaret93 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 18, 2022 2:53 pmHe’s a good player but my lord that fee is extortionate.

Re: Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
To be honest, Phil Bird seems a decent bloke, however I was surprised to see him keep his job when ALK had a big clear out. I accept most Burnley fans are bias towards Burnley but he takes it to another level.

There's no point responding to him. All he wants and needs is reaction.dsr wrote: ↑Wed Aug 17, 2022 10:50 pmThe Gray example doesn't prove that paying the price demanded, no questions asked, automatically means success. (Quite apart from what it does to the price of other transfer targets.)
I would imagine that if we had moved faster to sign O'Hare, it would probably have mean that we had a £10m player sitting in our treatment room with no prognosis of how serious his injury is, three weeks after it happened. Would that have made the difference to promotion? I don't think so.
Have you the links to how much O'Hare would have cost, how much we offered, and the evidence that he was Kompany's number 1 target?

Stop making stuff up to carry on your silly views.KRBFC wrote: ↑Thu Aug 18, 2022 9:58 amI'm simply going off what was reported from the Coventry end.
When I say ''O'Hare will transform this team'' that's my opinion, you're fine to disagree. I think we're a proper ball carrying 10 from being a really good side at this level, again you can disagree, I have no intention of really arguing my opinion on this.
I don't know why you get the impression I'm unhappy supporting Burnley, I like what I see currently, 1-2 proper incomings and we'll paste teams. (Again, when I say we'll paste teams, that is my opinion and my opinion only)
I’m not going to ask you to post a link to corroborate what you said because I know it won’t.
And whilst opinions are fine expect to be called out for ones that have no basis or evidence. Remember the context of why you said he would ‘transform the team’……it was in the same post where you are accusing the club for faffing about for the sake of a few quid after posting several hundred times about Pace taking all the money out of the club to pay himself and service the debt. So of course you are going to have an unsubstantiated double dig at the club.
As for your last paragraph of you being happy sh-it a brick I would not like to see you unhappy…..actually forget that as of course we have seen you unhappy for the last few years under Dyche so I guess it’s all relative. It’s just a spectrum of moaning for you.

Re: Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
I like Phil Bird and his somewhat biased commentaries on the Burnley games and I haven’t seen the interview. However, if that was one of his questions directed at VK, then it is absolutely ridiculous and incredulous. I am not lambasting Phil in any way, but really, that is totally unnecessary and I hope he just hadn’t thought it through.
Re: Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
Blackpool presser now unavailable, it says - this video is private.
Re: Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
Said this myself on the thread when someone asked about the stream, never been a fan of his commentary at all and his interviewing is usually quite poor in my opinion as well, but as you say lots seem to like it so each to their own i guess.

I like him too, but he’s made a big mistake there. Hopefully will issue an apology/clarification.

Re: Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
This sounds so inappropriate and amateur.
What on earth does this question have to do with preparation for the Blackpool game or the transfer window? I feel that there is a time and place for this sort of question, in a protected space with advanced agreement from the person being asked if they actually care to comment on such matters. However, making preparation for the next game and the manager's day to day job suddenly about the colour of his skin without warning is completely inappropriate, invalidating, even discriminatory.
I haven't seen the video, so apologies if I've missed anything that affects my interpretation of it.
Re: Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
VK was certainly taken back by that question what an earth possessed him to ask that out of nowhere. I'd flog him and get someone young in who knows that we are in the year 2022.

I know he’s got a bit of cult following on here but I think Bird is a complete nob.
His defence of having Campbell on Co comms being “I’ve never discussed politics with him” is as laughable as this question.

Re: Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
When I heard him ask that (watched it live on YouTube), my first thought was that this must be something the club have specifically checked with Vincent as an appropriate question to ask - as Phil Bird is an employee of the club (at least on some form of basis anyway). The fact that the club is scrubbing mention of the press conference seemingly shows that not to be the case. It's a very peculiar thing to ask at this juncture, in a pre-match conference and I am shocked that Bird didn't have the foresight to think "Hang on, that's a bit weird" before going ahead and asking it.
It strikes me far more as the type of manager profiling question that might have come up during VK's initial arrival (i.e, "How proud are you to be Burnley's first black manager" might be an OK question in the context of a first interview after joining the club, littered in amongst the many others). In the context used today it's just very bizarre and I wouldn't be shocked if we start to see less of PB as a result - a shame if so, as he's clearly a bloke with a huge affinity for the club who means well. An innocent (in his own mind) set of words escaped his mouth, and he might find himself in bother for it. I have sympathy if so - but fully concur it was inappropriate in that forum.
