Interesting to see in his press conference that he was complaining about lack of money for transfers in part because the proceeds from the sale of Ellis had "all gone to Bristol Rovers"

Good spot, so where's the £450K gone, to Jordan?
Lambert's doing a DC in that interview. Perhaps we should have a bit of that from GC, sure fans would support him more if he spoke up.

Very interesting read ...
Makes me wonder where the funds have gone as otherwise we would have surely signed the striker GC was after.
Maybe Hani needed it to pay against interest accrued on borrowing or some new trees for his garden?

When we’re losing 3 million a year I don’t think we’re in a position to start questioning where transfer fees are going. We will be lucky to see any of it.
Besides, some of this will have been spent on Payne already sadly. Perhaps this cash funded his pay off too.

Coz, obviously we have a 100% sell-on clause and anything Lambert implies about his owners must be gospel, and used to knock our owners. Have a little bit of backbone, everyone.
Maybe our transfer policy should be to ask Walsall fans what they think about a player, and then to ask Lambert whether we can afford him.

Pretty sure this was just the money they still owed us for Ellis.
I find it laughable from Lambert that they hadn't paid us the entire feee for Ellis, yet he has the cheek to moan about money & transfer fees.
He makes it out like poor little Ipswich are getting screwed by Bristol Rovers on money, when in reality they owed us that money & their playing budget is probably 3x larger than ours.

Agreed, he's also trying to get his excuses in early ahead of an underperforming season and his ultimate sacking.

To be fair out of all the bigger clubs that have dropped into L1 over the past decade Ipswich look like they are the one that are going to be here for a long time.I know leeds were here for period,as were sheff utd etc but they could drop down to L2 asap,as will Bolton but thats for different reasons.

Pretty certain we let Payne join Tranmere on a free therefore a large proportion of the money would have gone to Shrewsbury as we still owed them. Also whilst we've only bought in frees this normally means a sign on fee to the player which is on top of the wages. It would have to cover that as for all the players we let go their freed up wages only cover the wages of players that have come in.
So just cos we got paid what we're due, doesn't mean we've suddenly got loads of spare cash that people then imply the Al Qadi's are siphoning off...
Why do our 'fans' always look at everything to try and bash the board.
People try and compare gates and associate that with how much money should be available for getting that outside London Bristol is now one of if not the most expensive place in terms of cost of living, land, building, utilities and maintenance etc and the Mem needs much more regular maintenance than most other stadia hence why were losing so much each season!
The board aren't special or great but neither are they doing as bad as job as some imply nor are they crooks....

Regardless what Lambert says the fact is we sold Harrison for £750K and all we got in return was Payne, that's a great evolution model, pretty similar to the one the Dodo followed.

Regardless of what transfer fees we receive we must always have a pot of money to sign players every summer? You have to start questioning how the ALQ's are managing to lose £3m p.a. when they are selling players for £750K when we've only being losing £1m p.a. in the past during a typical season.

Sure, you can whine about Payne being sh** (who wouldn't?) but as you agree, that has nothing to do with Lambert, so why bring it up on a Lambert thread? If you just want to complain about the direction our club is going, why bother to use the fallacious authority of a tangential Lambert interview to do it?

Hindsight is a wonderful thing but at the time when we signed Payne on paper he looked a good signing and no one (well apart from Pirate ) was complaining! In fact most were praising the signing especially after his first game or 2....

And where does this pot of money come from? How is it created if we are already losing money hand over fist and also have paid out on small but needed improvements to the mem, terminating DC'S contract, other bills and the land at the colony (assuming it is a mortgage type land purchase) People say the AQ's aren't putting anything in yet they must be (altho they have it secured against the Mem for protection purposes).

Have a quick flick the club accounts that will tell you where the money is going. It's keeping a very leaky ship afloaf

It wouldn't have gone to Jordan, all will be accounted for, in the accounts. We only received part of the money last season, according to a lot of sources close to the club. So the money received, would have been more of the fee. It would have went towards our growing debts. Since the new board have been in place, we have reinvented over half of transfer fees received, info signing new players. Which is quite a high percentage, for this level. Especially when considering, we are losing millions every season.

Because since they took over, the budget has doubled nearly. Yet they don't spend any money 😉
