i can't do the maths, how did we loose £300k?
Must stress again that it's unsubstantiated but I heard purchase price of £400K and sale price £100K.

Nothing from me but I did hear we lost quite a bit [£300K] on the KVV transfer. This is unsubstantiated, but if true, the owners really need to take a look at themselves. The obscene amount of money squandered to pay off JFH has already been discussed. I remember KT saying the club was protected from that dreadful appointment and pay-off, but we are now selling our top earners to balance the books. Doesn't look like we have been protected to me. Certainly more transparency regarding the finances would allay these rumours if untrue.
According to the Chron (yes i know but i still trust them more than most on here) we got 'pretty close' to what we bought him for. We sold a player who didnt want to be here. Not sure it was to balance the books . That would have happened in the summer if it was needed, but will be interesting to see how much is put back into the squad either now or in the summer.

He was a better class than most of the division, lack of service and quality around him was his biggest downfall, he wasnt lazy this season by any means, although the sceptics would say thats because he was looking for a way out
Whether it's because he wanted to sell him himself or just being professional is irrelevant. He didn't want to be here.

the comms from the club when he signed made no mention of 'record fee' which i believe £400k would have been. sounds like way too much money for a player who at the time was out of contract in 6 months.

The Chorn states that he still lived near Scunny and was doing a 2 and half hour commute to training every day, im not surprised he wanted to move back.
KC has stated on the Radio that he is only looking to sign players who is knows well in the this transfer window

Take out his goals in cup competitions (which nobody really cares about) and you’re a lot closer to half The crazy competition is netting us cash with another windfall if we beat Rovers! If any Cobbler player can get 10 goals by Dec18 many of us would be delighted.

The local Sc***horpe reporter said we paid around £100k for KvV.
Sounds like we were desperate for money. I wonder how much we lost on the deal? Beginning to sound like a firesale.... If this is correct it’s back to the bad old days that I predicted a couple of weeks back. I don’t think a quality replacement will be coming in for last seasons marquee signing(remember the video) I’m preparing for untried youth players or free transfer journeymen. It’s just like the DC days all over again 1) try to acquire land(whether it benefits club or not) 2) find out you cannot get planning consent on land 3) run club on a shoestring 4) do not redevelop the ground. Same old,same old The fans deserve a better club from top to bottom. The only difference is this time we also had the investment shambles that led to quality signings only to find that it ended in acrimony,the fans still don’t actually know what occurred suffice to say it ended with both parties claiming they owned the club and threats of legal action. I’m now guessing(which is all you can do in the absence of any info from the club) that the budget cannot be met by the current board minus investment and having not made a land aquasition the last thing on the clubs mind is spending money on quality footballers. Of course this is all a hypotheses in the absence of any statements from the club but it does seem just like the bad old days again. Let’s hope I’m wrong and that we can all look forward to a video unveiling of a quality striker later on. Mind you it’ll take some turd polishing if it’s a 33 yo journeyman or a young lad who no ones ever heard of!!!

Yes it would be a £300K loss but we have similar examples of transfer stupidity in our history. I'm not saying for a moment it is true, hence 'unsubstantiated'. Just relaying what I heard.

Maybe it isn’t a firesale then!! Serves me right for believing made up figures from people in the know and sources It all stems from the old undisclosed fees though!! I do wish people who have absolutely no inside info would stop banding figures about. I have no idea on wages etc,who is being sold and who is coming in.... Last night I asked posters who are all in the know to post info on who WILL be signing.... Nothing Not a dickie bird. These people are the ones who know who earns what!! Enough said. By posting unsubstantiated nonsense as fact it is easy for others such as myself to hypothesise about the situation only to find out that the points that the summisation are based upon are pure fantasy. Please try and keep to the truth... Now with all the detailed inside knowledge.., Who WILL be signing??

As if we paid £400k for KvV!!! Seems most likely we paid £100k for him and probably sold him for about £25k.
£25k for 10 goals.

Mathius, Who did you hear such a rumour from ? You quite often come up with unsubstantiated rumours and then talk about them like there facts.

I was told from a very good source we paid £125k for KVV . That would seem about right to me . Don’t forget we have paid £250k in wages for 10 goals which is possibly where “ the loss” comes in . There may also be agents fees / hotel accommodation etc

Back to the rumour thread... Would not surprise me if Ishmael Miller rocked up at the PTS...goes without saying hope he don't! Oldham Athletic can confirm Ishmael Miller has left the club following his short-term contract. The 31-year-old forward joined the club in summer and made 18 appearances, scoring four goals for Latics in all competitions. We would like to thank him for his services and wish him the best of luck for the future. Thank you, Ishmael.

Whilst both KvV and Crooks are unarguably talented, Crooks is another who doesn't really look like he's up for L2
I guess you pays your money and takes your choice - do you want a player who plays like a world beater in 25% of games, crap in 50% and is injured / suspended the other quarter - or one who is going to roll their sleeves up, dig in and give you 100% all the time?

100K paid and 100k recouped is what I hear - wages on the other hand at 5K a week he has cost us a fair whack during his time here
