Approaching Ipswich representatives to sign, next to experienced striker. Not sure how true.

Conjecture as you say, but at the point you commercially only see the maximum upside as £30 million, that’s not an asset you value enough to have lots of clauses inserted for future protection either.

If you did, you’d have a higher value. And it’s likely we could have protected ourselves much better by moving some of the benefits for Loam forward to when he signed.

Any player and agent would take a slightly bigger salary, and or signing fee, to mitigate higher exit clauses, a bird in the hand etc.

And I don’t think it will be us trying to get in the way of the deal.

The complete opposite. As the only asset we can likely sell quickly, I would think PSR will have us trying to get the deal through before year end (end of June).

We have a £150 million net spend in the books for a single year…, if we can reduce that, even by £15 million, I suspect we will do all we can to make it happen.

The elements that aren’t conjecture, that are in the public domain, look horrific commercially.

If it is £30 million, and there are lots of additional clauses protecting us, I think Mark would say…, because there’s no commercial harm to any deal.

This is a man that couldn’t wait to tell us our manager is paid £5 million a year basic, and is the 5th best paid manager in the prem.

When he thinks he’s smashed it out the park, he’d tell you his own PIN number for some validation…, so his silence says everything in this deal.

It’s most likely very poir, and we need to learn very quickly:

Only clubs that get value buying and selling can be successful longer term, and we had a shocking summer in that front, in my opinion.

Why do you keep repeating the same falsehoods. The manager is not the 5th highest paid in the PL (by a long shot), and neither was it £150M on players. I've posted links to the accurate figures for you, yet you ignore independent facts.

If you want to have a stick to hit the club with, you need a credible stick.

Your stick gives you no credibility.

I'm not sure how many times PSR and how transfer fees are recorded needs to be explained to you but you still don't seem to get it. We don't have £150m of transfer spend on our books for 2024/25 as transfer fees are amortised over the length of contract up to 5 years. That means the spend on our books for this year will be more like £30m to £40m. There is nothing to suggest w need to panic sell anyone before June in order to comply with PSR for this season. The rest of this is just hot air, which is fine, but at least get your facts straight.

I tried to work it out and is about £27m on the books for this season [and next as things stand]

Aro Muric - £8m - 4yr - £2m/yr
Alex Palmer - £2m - 4yr - £500k/yr
Connor Townsend - £500k - 2yr - £250k/yr
Jacob Greaves - £15m - 5yr - £3m/yr
Dara O'Shea - £12m - 5yr - £2.4m/yr
Liam Delap - £15m - 5yr - £3m/yr
Omari Hutchinson - £22m - 5yr - £4.4m/yr
Chieo Ogbene - £8m - 4yr - £2m/yr
Sam Szmodics - £9m - 4yr - £2.25m/yr
Jaden Philogene - £20m - 5yr - £4m/yr
Jack Clarke - £15m - 5yr - £3m/yr

Obviously some of them are part years and full years so it's far from exact but gives an idea

This is inline with my calculations - I was a little closer to £30m. For example, Jaden's contract was 4 1/2 years.
