    Isn't 'sat' (in this context) a Yorkshire dialect use of the word and therefore perfectly acceptable on this forum?

    Irrespective of how the WAGMI geeks were going to fund us going forward if they had taken over, I cannot imagine them attending games over here anymore than our 'absent' owner and probably know even less about soccer than Rupp does.

    I would have expected a non committal answer we have had good budgets year on year and not used the money wisely we lost 800k last year partly due to COVID so we need to use whatever is available much better

    Nonsense Hughes is here because he couldn’t find a team higher up and wants to prove himself again

    Both could be true.

    It could very well be that Hughes simply wants back in, and sees us as a high potential club. Which, run correctly - we are. And therein lies the rub, as we haven't been run correctly for years.

    And maybe, to some degree, there's the possibility of interest through Hughes contacts in the background.

    It was one of the lads I know from way back who I believe has something to do with hosting hospiality but he didn't have a name for the potencial new investor Huw Jenkins name has certainly been mentioned during Julians second time at the club.

    Is this the new annual rumour to replace Billy Sharp?
    If this was to be true then what does Jenkins or anyone else get out of giving us £2million as it can't be a loan if it's going into the player budget unless it's transfer fees so it would have to mean they are buying a share in the club

    if someone is giving £2m for a share in the club and the cash is going to Hughes then our owner is going to struggle even more to ever get his cash back out by selling the club.

    If he has out £6m in so far and is giving up a third of the shares for the £2m investment then he would have to sell the club for £9m to get his £6m back
