I guess it's simply a case of money over morals, or vice versa. I doubt it would be the PSG owners anyway... Thats Sheff United mate - wouldn't say they are big ? True,considerably better than us mind and a Bin Laden would be a typical mental DCFC signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 I wonder if discussions were being held with Henry Gabay back in the summer? Maybe the reason we lured Cocu to the club was because he was promised substantial funds at some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah makes you wonder. It’s not going great with him at the minute, but to get a mannager with his CV coming to a championship club with ‘limited budget’, there has to be something in the pipeline.

MK-Ram Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Appreciate things in business can happen very fast but I'm slightly concerned that we are on 20 December now with no true indication of progress here. Unless we are looking at a New Year's announcement here, I'm not sure if we are going to have the funds to do what we need to do in January. That being said, if Gabay is fronting someone who is linked with a large European club then I am intrigued, and would assume it is someone from abroad (not the English guy in charge at Lille). Knowing our recent luck, it will be SIlvio Berlusconi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id imagine we have 2 sets of targets for Jan based on the investment being approved so it wont have delayed anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep it quiet until we've got our targets in, then make the announcement, otherwise clubs will demand more money from us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MackworthRamIsGod Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 I keep saying this, without knowing anything, but it wouldn't surprise me if the deal is done, the ink is dry and Cocu firmly knows just how much money he has to spend. It also wouldn't surprise me if the announcement was very low key, with full details emerging once the January window as out the way. I would also imagine it would make sense to not spend too much until the summer for FFP reasons. If it is true that we are being partially taken over by someone who owns another big European club, it could be that we take some decent players from a club without paying a sausage, which would make sense seeing as our club aren't partial to handing out sausages.

Someone on Twitter commented that Cocu looked very relaxed and happy in his pre-match interview for Reading. Very different body language compared to the last 3-4 weeks.
