Now can someone please point out any benefits I may not be aware of with our partnership with the Blades? Honestly, If there are any, let me know.

Because at the moment it seems to have provided Sweet f.a

a "big" signing would've been nice but IMO i reckon the players we have now can do a great job in asia - Form Is Key

Are you saying that Club Tugg will be the main direction of CCM's funds over the next few years?

Im frustrated with that article, why could they not wait until the deadline was passed and we signed nobody to release it? Its either building up suspense or just bashing down the club for no reason. John Taylor, Im coming for you if we dont sign someone decent.

No, its a JV with the guy that owns the Blades. Suspect we wouldnt have had the money otherwise.

ah true. there is so much the club can do with sharing players, its not like they can just grab Keith Gillespie and say "OI WORTHLESS PEON, GO PLAY FOR THE COAST!"

club tugg is basically it as far as i can see, but that's not a small venture in itself. i'd rather we be spending time and energy in the medium term on getting it up and going rather than worrying about what pine-riders they can offload to us. i know what's of more real-world value to us beyond the next 30 or so games for the club.

So The blades are putting the money up for that?, cause I was under the impression they were not involved in that.
