I hope big Chris stays, hopefully the new facilities and ambition will entice him to sign on again. I've no problem with Franco signing on again, as a back up, no offence but with all this new found wealth I'm certain we could do a lot better for 1st choice.
I thought that with the FFP or the cap on salaries, it didn't matter how much money your owners had, it limited how much they could offer depending on turnover. That is why the "funds" were focused on youth development. I could be entirely wide of the mark though unless of course we employ the services of Man Citys' accountants? 🤷♂️
I'd love to see what percentage of "investors" in football clubs (minor shareholders, owners, debenture holders, whatever) ever got any of their money back at all, could be a sobering number if ever published or even estimated.
Latest rumours in addition to Joe Morrell (Midfielder), 27, who is out of contract at Portsmouth. Not sure this one is reliable.
Daniel Udoh (Attacker), 27, who is out of contract at Shrewsbury Town, but has been offered a new deal which he is yet to sign. Rumour comes from the Salop end.
Jack Currie (Defender), 22, whose contract at AFC Wimbledon was extended for another year last month. He would be a superb addition, and answer our current left-back issues. Sadly this rumour can be filed in the "unlikely" category alongside an announcement of my pending engagement with Jakki Degg.
It is teeth boys related. I’ve seen what the Bolton fans have seen. It’s not exactly conclusive yet. Fairly likely to go to Bolton, but take with a pinch of salt
This one unfortunately was according to a Wycombe fan who has spent the past week winding up other Wycombe fans online. The Forino rumour seems to be coming from Bolton related accounts direct.
He's a tremendous player. I would love to have him on a long term deal. But we don't know the nature of his injuries that have made him miss 50% of games each season. There might be a limit the club is prepared to offer him if the medical staff don't believe there is a good chance of improving that 25 odd games a season. He could join Bolton and play 50 games a season for the next ten years of course.

I’m no Kieran Maguire but from what I read donations from club owners can be included in a clubs turnover.
So that's donations as in gifts with no expected repayments then? Fair enough.
Yes you can't include loans but injection of funds seem to be fine at this level.
Different at championship level though.
the rules make it more sensible if you can afford it to build your championship squad in L1, so hopefully we see the ambitious words backed up
Likewise if I won the Euro Lottery and gave the club £5m.

I’d rather sign his midfield partner Marlon Pack who has yet to sign with Portsmouth for next season and his contract ends this month.
Pack player of the season too.
How can Marlon Pack still be going? It seems like he played for us in another era entirely.
Incredible he has now played well over 500 games
This fulfils the requirement to sign an ex-player each summer.
I approve.
And the secondary requirement that they must be in the twilight of their career?
Something makes me thinks those days have now passed.

Jack presumably no relation to Darren?
Aye, no relation.
If Twitter is to be believed, Forino is set to sign for Bolton.
I’d be sorry to see him go.
I am just relieved it is a likable club if it turns out to be true (I never expected us to be able to re-sign him).
@FarmerCee - I hope you'll give us the odd update if he moves to you?
If Twitter is to be believed we signed that guy who signed for Charlton.
Teeth boys related like Taf permanently being linked with them?

With the current developments at Wycombe, I don't really see Bolton as a significant step up for him.
Bolton have tweeted a teaser that an announcement of a signing (It could be him) will be at 5pm today
Wikipedia already has him as a Bolton player! Someone's jumped the gun there, or seriously ITK

Do the Teeth boys still actually support us does anyone know?
Tobes used to be all over the fb group and made some decent points and seemed well into it.
