Good riddance. Hopefully we’ll see him again next season as the money spaffed on 1 goal in 20 games strikers and Championship RB’s takes it’s toll on the media’s favourite English manager and his 12,500 attendances 😂

Good words from Jan. Genuinely wishing him the best, but at the same time reminding everyone Billing was uncommitted.

This sale more than covers our new guys this year plus mbenza and any season long loans. Good business town!

15m Euro which is around £13m was what was touted in the papers last season. That’s the bullshit. Same bloke told me of Brown signing told me of this, after Hoyle left. Bloke who told me owns the club!
You know the Montpellier owner ?

Don't know where you've heard that but it's 15m euro I’ll put my house on it that it’s most definitely not. Loan fee plus purchase, comes out just over £8m so I’ve been told too
Pretty similar to the scenario where some folk were saying that Pritch is on over 100k a week, aye ok.

Seen those figures before. That website often posts very precise figures. Where are they getting them from? If a website is able to get seemingly exact figures why do clubs bother with announcing transfers as “undisclosed”? Town are as bad as anyone on this. No doubt Billing will be undisclosed. They can’t be educated guesses or all due to pound-euro exchange rates. All fees have to be declared through the authorities so I'm not sure where the non disclosure ends. Maybe there's some mole at the FA/EFL dripping information out.
Do you therefore believe those figures to be correct, I.e. Mbenza cost £4.197m, thereby contradicting what dirkgently said our CLUB OWNER has said he cost? |

TBH Epsom, I'd take it with a pinch of salt. It would suit Phil to over egg the commitments as he's having us believe all the money has gone. "Somebody got the maths wrong".... It does seem a big disparity though between the two quoted figures, but there was a lot of disbelief that we'd paid/(committed to) so much for Mbenza at the time. Wasn't the loan fee quoted about €3m though?

Bloke who told me owns the club! Aye was waiting for this response Maybe both right? One is just the fee and the higher one includes his salary over the contract and possible add-ons? |

£15m billing £4m smith £3m zanka? £22m minimum income. Surely we can bring in a couple now Those white seats don't pay for themselves. Why do you think they've only got two thirds of the way across the Fantastic Media end? Because that's all that the Tommy Smith fee would cover Now Billing has gone we should be able to complete the rest of the stadium but the Zanka fee will definitely cover any seats that are left |

By any stretch of the imagination that is excellent business by Town. It may well come to pass that it is also excellent business by Bournemouth. I hope the lad does well. I think that we all know that there is a genuinely good player in there but it always seemed like that player was an occasional performer when he felt like it. That's why it took him so long to break into the first team when he should have done it sooner. Far too inconsistent and Howe's first job needs to be banning him from social media where he didn't make any friends with some of his remarks. The biggest fee we have ever received for a player would suggest a Town favourite has left the club. The fact that this is far from the truth tells you much that you need to know about Billing.

Mike's carpets haven't got a sale on at the moment. It didn't come cheap. |

I know the loan was around £2.5m. The lad who told me I’ve full faith in as he’s told me all sorts that have come to fruition, transfers and issues. |

Best of luck to you Phil. Hope you are a big success, get sold on for a fortune and we rake in the sell on clause. You could have been outstanding at Town, but the time we needed the brilliant Phillip Billing the most, you downed tools and couldn’t be arsed. For that I’ll never forgive you.
I’d like to say thank you for the memories but sadly I can’t remember many.

I realise all of that, but they must still have expected to, and planned for, receipt of good money for those players not given squad numbers. Care to state exactly what we got for Smith and Löwe and spent on Mbenza then, since you said you knew? Not interested in your source. No idea on lowe and Smith, I never said I knew either of those. We spent a total of 15m euro on mbenza including a 2.5m euro loan fee last year. No, we didn’t. |

£2m loan fee £6m permanent Give a few hundred k Well both of you can’t be right, that’s for certain. Someone’s bullshitting. The actual fees are lower than quoted here...and by “more than a million”. |

They can’t be educated guesses or all due to pound-euro exchange rates. In the case of Mbenza and Bockhorn the figures may have been converted from euros leading to precise numbers. If Mbenza really cost sub £5m with or without loan fee I will look at him less cynically in future. |

I love my club, I don’t have time for players that don’t appreciate the fact we’ve put years into their development and soon as things go against them they down tools and stick their pet lip out. Rhodes was mentioned earlier. Ok not great circumstances re his departure but he did he job. Billing didn’t. Billing and the Prem League deserve each other, a prima Donna and the league to fluff up his ego. If he hadn’t acted like a complete arse I’d feel differently and wish him well. |
