    we wouldn’t have bid 4 times if he didn’t want to join. Doesn’t mean Exeter will accept tho as he has a long deal and they’re ok for cash apparently

    as you say hopefully the news is a day late and he’s already sorted or on his way up

    Aye but at least we have known nout about any of this til the 4th bid, more encouraging behind the scenes that things are happening and its not a 30 odd year old lichaj etc. Im confident we will be optimistic in 2 weeks

    I am more confident that we do now than I would have been a few hours ago. Funny that :D

    feel like this should happen tho.

    He's 2 years left. Your right they don't need cash but we've seen ourselves when a player or agents head is turned ther can only be one outcome.

    Agree about Lichaj and that this would be a step in the right direction signing players for now and the future for a change. It means nothing if you can't get them in the building though.

    You'd think if the offers right they'd accept and not drag it one. They'd want to get a replacement sorted and maybe use money elsewhere. They may have targets of their own.

    Important we don’t get all embarrassed like Donald if we don’t get it over the line and throw millions at it

    Very true, but I’m saying that they might have a model in place so they can use their assets for regular cash injections especially with add ins such as sell on fees etc, just me speculating

    Could be much less with money on promotions and appearances upping it to £1million. I expect if its our 4th bid though we've a fair idea what they want by now.

    I wouldn't have thought its a Grigg scenario. You'd hope Speakman can negotiate better than brent-lite

    An SAFC Fanzine reckons it's 'unfortunate' that they have to start talking about SAFC again.....

    Bizarre

    Just had a fortune from Watkins sale. Covid will have had an impact but they're well run. Likely why they rejected at least 3 bids. Still think we'll get him though.

    Wrexham, were taken over at about the same time as SAFC, but they only had a manager change after the season ended.

    Yet they have just signed the L2 golden boot and L2 player of the season winner - as a National League side it is the equivalent of us signing the Golden Boot winner from the Championship!

    That is what can happen when your club gets its arse into gear and your rich (but not as rich as our) ownership realises that sustainability and spending are not mutually exclusive goals!

    Are our backroom staff less talented than those of Wrexham?

    I get the feeling that if we were referring to SAFC then we would be twisting because Salma wanted us to pay her PA to arrange her trip over here and instead of getting a top shag in a couple of weeks then we would end up with no shag now and doing a frantic tinder sweep in a few weeks!
