Frankly,if they make a good profit t,we stay up and we are then sold to people with real money I d be happy..ish
We re stuck with the owners and Jenkins and until both are gone we ll have this bitchfest.
Selling out is ok in my eyes but it's to whom. |  |

Bony 2. What a strange choice of number |
Are you saying that Bony is number2? You should've seen Schecter! |  | | |

I tell you what chaps. I don't care who disagrees with me here. But this evening I've faced the horrible truth which is that the board are going to use this club as their own private ATM. I was so hopeful this morning that we would get Sanches, Bony, Chadli and possibly Arias too. Clement told us he was looking to get two players in. Well we will get Sanches and Bony but we have lost Llorente. They owe us a player really.
Also why have we no ambition?
In:
Mesa £11m
Clucas £15m
Bony £12m
Sanches £4.5m
Total: £42.5m
Out:
Cork: £10m
Gomis: must be at least £3m
LLorente: £12m
Sigurdsson: £40
Total: £65m
Net spend: - £22.5m
We had a great chance here to push on and have a great little squad but I fear it's all about profit and nothing else. I'm furious. |
Sky have been saying that we did put in a bid of £17m for Chadli, but it was rejected by WBA because they wanted "closer to £26m". Personally I'd say £17-18m would be about right. No one is ever going to pay £26m for Chadli, WBA are totally taking the pÃss with that valuation. Can't blame our board for that one, they'd have been slagged to high hell on here if we'd paid £26m for him. |  | | |

You are right it's even worse , £27.5m profit. Disgusting. |
Well we don't know the exact costs but yes we can assume that we made a 20-30mil profit.
We made a sizeable profit last summer and many people, myself included, were echoing the same sentiments you've expressed in this thread but then that money was used in January.
I'm still sceptical of the new board but I really don't believe they're the antichrist that some on here make them out to be. Dr Winston put it pretty well in another thread. |  | | |

Fair point but I feel we only spend in January because we were up shit creek without a paddle. Realistically we should be spending money at least some transfer windows. You could even put together a case for us spending another £20 mil on top of the surplus £20-30m.
If all the money is going to be sensibly reinvested in the facilities, stadium etc then fine but I seriously doubt that will happen. I hope I'm wrong and that we have a great season. | | | |
