What a complete and utter farce. Nothing more to say.

why is it a farce?

we did it with steve davis and they did it with roberts - loans are a low risk / ‘try before you buy’ way to see if a player settles in and performs before splashing out big fees and finding out he ain’t up to it it doesn’t settle

kinda wish someone had done it with pena bruno and herrera

if loan works out we have option to make loan perm what’s wrong with that? given some of the dross we need to get rid of, some of whom won’t be easy to move on, I think it’s financially prudent

given our reckless behaviour on that front recently i for one am happy we are not over spending given high wage earners we are trying to offload and soft loans currently in place

board are trying clean up pedros mess and ok they hired him but they’re trying to put things right - i’m ok with that

so you are ok with the board. for making a complete balls up of it and now we have no money whci mean no new players whicm means we are left with dross we started with at the start of the season. let's see what you are saying when dundee, hamilton, beat us

Can't believe some posts on this page. We're building and trying to do it on a safe footing. If we don't have the money we don't have the money, hee haw we can do about it and as there are no billionaires running with their cheque books to buy the club we have to go with what the board are doing. We got kits back, we are looking for new shirt deal for next season. We have a share issue coming up according to the AGM. So mountains of dosh might not be available now. So if they think they can get Docherty cheaper now than they will in the summer, I. e if he keeps performing at a decent level his stock will only rise. Take Murphy on loan then sign him permanent in the summer when the money from the share issue and season ticket renewals will be there. Everyone just needs to get behind the team and calm down

We have a million more to spend than we would have had if we had bought Murphy.

If we had done loan deals for Pena, Cardosa, Herrera etc, we would have another 4-5 million to spend.

I think that Murphy will be a success and would probably rather have a permanent deal, but perhaps that is all that Brighton would agree to at this stage. Also, as already stated, we have a million more to spend than we would have if we had bought him.

It doesn't always have to be the Board's fault if the press and then the fan base work themselves into a frenzy over fake news.

and your alternative solution is what des?

see that’s trouble with some supporters they luv a moan but that’s about it. For what it’s worth I am not happy with boards appointment of pedro (I think it was awful) but they are trying to put things right now with murty, jimmy nic and targeting players like murphy. I’m happy with that. folk on here posting about big sam pardew and pulis and morning about us not signing EPL players aren't living in the real world - that’s just my opinion mind you

Fyi having no money is down to previous regimes not current board as without king 3 bears soft loans we’d probably be in admin again.

To be fair this is a completely different scenario than Davis etc that you have quoted! Rangers had agreed a fee with Brighton and now its potentially a loan, why? Have the board now decided we don't have £1m to give? Maybe it's because they will have to pay 50% of Pena's massive wage whilst he's on loan! The point blueger was making is that the board are an absolute shambles and he is 100% bang on!

Who at ibrox said fee was agreed. Folks are criticising the board based on rumour.

If it's a loan, big deal. Maybe he'll try harder to get a permanent one. Win win.

Wish we'd done it with a few more.
