    Rotherham owner is a bit of a Jack the lad. Ten times better than Rupp however.

    Adams doesn't believe in long term contracts - unless it's for himself.

    I'm just interested to see what happens when Adams falls short of the CEO's stated aim of promotion. Who will be blamed for not investing during the transfer window?

    Some loans are on the basis that they're free if the player gets first team action but a contribution towards wages is required if the player isn't selected.

    You're guessing. You assume they're not free, and they may or may not be, or they may be heavily subsidised. Really, you have no idea how much they've cost. No one has.

    No one has been let go and it’s a good bet we will be paying a good proportion of wages and someone like Walker will be on very good money so it’s sure to have raised our wage bill a fair bit and we haven’t finished

    We have strengthened the defence overall and we might yet bring in another defender

    At our level they are and nobody we've brought in is so far above what we have as to make me think we'd be paying out much for having them. Wage contributions yeah, but if we're paying silly money for anyone we've brought in then we're the idiots. Walker or Daly I would go out on a limb for but not enough to pay through the nose for

    It’s ok to criticise the club Park, you don’t have to be positive about everything

    If there's one thing Derek is not, it's frivolous with money. He's saying in the T&A this morning that some of the players here before he arrived are on decent money, more than people would expect. No way will he have agreed to these current loans if they are costing us more than peanuts. Although as I said in a post a few days ago, I wouldn't be surprised if there is a condition attached to the likes of Walker, Daly and probably Bass, that they start every game if fit.

    Nothing positive about it we have taken in so far 5 players which will have significantly increased the wage bill

    It’s an interesting point. Both have stated promotion as the target. Hopefully we get there with a late run, a run that doesn’t look likely based on what we’ve witnessed so far but hey AdamsZzz has previous with late runs
