and as for all that money coming in?
What happened to it all? Because there's no evidence it was spent on transfers, wages and setting up facilities ... oh hang on! | |

Clubs aren’t at the same starting point as we were to be able to do it.
Most clubs incur debt to get there. The unique advantages that we had at the start of the seven years were not capitalised on.
They were wasted. | | | |

It was all pissed away on transfers and wages. That's precisely the problem.
Instead of sticking to recruiting players based on a style of play we binned all that, handed the reins of the team to the new Tony Pulis, and started signing players for the sake of it. | |

It being spent on transfers and wages is exactly the issue.
Thanks for elaborating on my point. | | | |

Add paying off a number of managers and assistants | | | |

Innit.
Had we retained control of the wages, had we continued to insist upon relegation clauses, had we continued to recruit smartly, perhaps we'd have been in a much, much stronger position to bounce straight back up.
We are where we are, in the state we are as a direct result of Jenkins and Co's mismanagment, and the failure of the owners to properly supervise them.

I’ve said for years that I think one turning point was the recruitment of Gomis.
We thought we were being clever bringing in a ‘free’ transfer like that. Did the same with Ayew.
Costs out of control thereafter.
Should have recruited someone who could run a multi million pound business when we went up. Could have easily done so (more than one) for the amounts paid to Jenkins and Dineen. | | | |

And big pay rises pre sale, even though we had to sell JonJo to stay solvent... | |

Not quite all of it, some of it went in to paying over the top prices for some of the work done for the club wasn't it? | | | |

Yep - free transfer means big signing on fee and wages. Big wages means others wanting pay rises and so it spiralled.
The more desperate our recruitment became, the more power transferred to the player and their agents. Up go the wages out go any real relegation clauses in new contracts. | | | |

For a player Monk had no idea how to use properly.
Can't disagree. | |
