"No one will speak of Rovers any more" £300,000 is peanuts to him, and it's nowhere enough to save City. But it's pretty much guaranteed Rovers won't make the playoffs.

Not true
We can still make the playoffs.
It takes more than 1 player to get promoted. We ain't a one man band. RELAX!

He doesn't get to be as rich as he is by accident. He is not as stupid as he sounds.
Saying that, he could have had much better players than Taylor from us in the past, Lambert being the best example recently.
Even if Taylor never scores a single goal for them, 300k is worth keeping the 'gap'they seem to keep mentioning, and they could still sell him on for 10x what they paid us.

This signing confirms that he has resigned himself to relegation and is looking to build on the cheap for next season. LJ still in charge and out of his depth!

Just think about it logically for a minute. To begin with one of the first - if not the very first - instances of the £300k figure came from Keith Chump. Secondly, if MT had been available for £300k from the first of January do you really think that it would take until the 31st for an offer to be made? Thirdly, why would DC joke about offers of £ms being turned down while knowing Matty had a release clause for a paltry £300k.
The chances are that £300k is way off the mark.

4 goals out of last 20 suggests MT wouldn't have been the main reason we reached the Play Offs, I sense our lack of transfer activity today anyway put paid to a Play Off push.

Do you seriously think DC had say £1m in the bank but still hasn't signed a single player today?

If he couldn't get the right man for the right price then I imagine the value of the Taylor fee was irrelevant.

The teds clearly didn't actually need Taylor given their transfer work up until this point.
The whole thing genuinely reeks of Lansdown and Ashton sh**ting their pants because their season has fallen apart, the fans are on their backs and there was a genuine chance that we could finally be above them in the pyramid next year. It sticks in the craw that the traitor has gone to the teds but maybe we should see it as a compliment that the powers that be at the shitpit are that worried about us. Even though we're not their rivals apparently...
The heat is well and truly off Lansdown and Johnson for a couple of weeks now and maybe Lansdown is hoping that will buy them time to start turning their collapse around. They've thrown enough money at the problem that is for sure.

All Lansdown has done is shown that money talks in his world and that sportsmanship is a bit of a stranger. Neither of these things are news. If he wants to identify a rotten apple in our club and pay to remove it so that it can contaminate his own barrel then I won't be losing any sleep over it.
Sour grapes? Maybe, but I don't think so. Once Taylor announced that he wanted out and into the sewer, would we really have wanted him if we'd known? Would having him around harbouring the bizarre desire to go from a club that's risen to three points below the playoffs to one that's sunk three points above relegation really have boosted our prospects? We don't need that. At any price.

They have a must win game on saturday. The heat is seriously on them. Forest & Wolves won to push them further away from from trouble. No-one below them played tonight.

MT was clearly in the driving seat in the summer so why logically would he let a large release fee be set, potentially sealing him into an untouchable zone for 2 years? who knows, we could have even been sh** and could be in the relegation zone by now, and he'd not have anyone after him for a large price.

Didn't they parade Matty Traitor on the pitch at half-time with a red shirt? I'm pretty sure that will have raised a few of them from their slumbers. Something about a good time to bury bad news isn't it? Letdown is obviously of the opinion that this run of form is a blip and is backing Johnson to get them out of this mess (with the help of his chequebook). But with the fans calling for Johnson's head this week he needed a distraction to buy them the time to do that. It all fits if you ask me.

Your points are valid but I maintain that a release clause of £300k would have been triggered much sooner, and by quite a few more clubs.

who knows, we could have even been sh** and could be in the relegation zone by now, and he'd not have anyone after him for a large price. A quick look through the history books would have told him that wasn't going to happen. Lambert signed a new contract allowing us to get a sizeable fee for him, no clauses.....total legend. Others before him have been sold on the cheap or players like Carayol kick up a fuss and get their move. You dont need a release clause these days, just let everyone know you are unhappy and its job done.

AND: he could have got him free at the end of last season! BTW: I will always stick up for Lansdown's financial knowledge and prowess, having worked in finance myself. The man is a genuine financial genius: To me, he uses those that float as a hobby and is fortunate enough to not have to worry about the costs. But I sure as hell hope that it eats mightily into his fortune and fails.
