Not a bad job then!

Simon Lappin also springs to mind with being frozen out Lappin did well for us though, we just outgrew him pretty quickly as Lambert, Culverhouse and Karsa sped us up the leagues. Mulumbu has got to go down as one of the worst signings in that regard, although to be fair to him, he had played well previously for other clubs. No idea what went wrong for him whilst with us.

The article says that he cost about 12 million pounds altogether: 5.4 million of this was the transfer fee, meaning that only about 6 1/2 million was paid in wages. This is approaching about 1 million per appearance. No doubt that back in 2016 there was somebody on the Newcastle equivalent of the pinkun, saying that at 5 million he was "worth a punt." 😫 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean 7 years of Louis Thompson being on our payroll for 16 games in all competitions. Can't just divide his Norwich salary + £1m transfer fee by 16 can you? He's been out on loan 6 times.

I never said they didn't, I just meant Jarvis was a signing with good intentions and he impressed initially before his injury. Yes it sucked for all involved towards the end but he really wanted to get back and play but just couldn't get fit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wcorkcanary 4,784 Posted July 2, 2021 (edited) I know a fella who owns two private hydroelectric schemes. The electricity board have to, by law, buy the electricity he generates, from him. The first one, he built on a shoestring. The second one, paid for by the profit generated by the first, is much ,much larger. Every time it rains, he makes money,lots of it. The hydro schemes are in the hills in the west of Ireland. It rains quite a lot, quite often. He keeps an eye on the Irish weather report from his rather large Villa in Portugal. Smart fella, easy life. Edited July 2, 2021 by wcorkcanary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
