Alextopman Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Impressed with the Blades signings up to now but more are needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atticus Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Looks like the signings are way more astute than last summers car crash of a pre season . The squad is threadbare though , a GK and a couple of right backs are desperately needed for starters. It looks like we’re gonna have to sell before we can buy though , Osula and Vinnie have been mentioned as possible departures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassett one Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 why sell before buying with all those huge parachute payments ? this is not being nasty just a question because they get a big amount every year for 3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because anyone with an ounce of common sense understands that the wage bill needs to be reduced in line with the loss of revenue. Let's remember what Parachute payments cover...... They bridge a shortfall in revenue that would otherwise be generated in the premier league. Prince Abdullah has been quite up front about his lack of ability to fund extensive recruitment, so he has secured monies against expected revenue. Our successes in achieving premier league football have basically continued to fund the club and keep us sustainable. Our gross wage bill increased significantly since 21-22 and this had to be maintained despite the previous relegation. No ten year season tickets here or over inflated expectations on fans with ridiculous ticket prices or elite team shirt prices, just simple common sense. As a championship club you are going to lose players. The likes of Osula and Jebbison I am not overly worried about, perhaps the former more so but with a fee like that, I will take it. We have shifted a lot of dead wood, you should know you signed a bit. McBurnie might be a loss perhaps, but we are about to get over that as you will see. Bogle to Leeds might prove a good deal for them, but he never hit consistent highs with us. Egan? Captain but lost his way last couple of years and is about to be replaced with one of the best young defenders in the country. Watch this space, it is all going on at the lane. Game changing! 2 CBs, A GK and midfielder imminent.... others very, very close and all could happen this week if not next. Wholesale changes and erm...... 🇱🇷🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 Good times are coming...
