Big Down Under 0 Posted July 31, 2008 [quote user="ruddster"]400K and 200K? I bet Doomcaster and co loved hearing those ''undisclosed''s being disclosed!!!Roeder is very shrewd and wants the fans to know just how ''much'' he''s had to play with in this transfer window. However theoneandonlycullum is wrong to think "GR out" will be posted all over this forum if we don''t win at Coventry or have a good first five or six games. It will be "DS out" and quite rightly so when a club who can attract 25 thousand fans for a live tv friendly hand their manager one of the smallest transfer budgets in the Championship. To quote the silly old woman "We''re keeping quiet about all the money!" No need to love, we can work out for ourselves how much you must be creaming off. [/quote]Not only an idiotic statement, but an innaccurate one too. By the end of the window the wage bill and transfers fees spent will be average for the league or a bit better. Gate receipts do NOT make up enough income to fund a large transfer war chest, for that you need additional off field investments and a rich board. If the PR is to be believed (we will see when accounts are published) you will see that the board are putting IN money, not ''creaming it off''. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The one bit you got nearly right is that you need a rich Board. How muh are the Turner''s worth? How much have they put in? Wow again, we are so lucky...

Big Down Under 0 Posted July 31, 2008 Barclay boy most clubs on relegation become selling clubs, to account for loss of revenue. Look at Watford for example, Southampton, all doing the same as we went through.Do you really think gate receipts are enough to fund consistently competitive team on a promotion push? If so you are deluded. All the 8 players in would have involved capital outlay, in either transfer fees, loan fees, agent fees, player signing on fees. The like of Stefanovic will be on pretty big wages, certainly not cheap, there were plenty of teams after Hoolihan and Bell so I very much doubt we got them cheap either.The teams doing well are on the whole teams that are funded by a rich board. Hull are an exception, Stoke are not. Our Board isn''t rich enough to compete with the boards of many other teams, we all know that. Hence the interest in Cullum. But to go from there to accusing Delia of stealing money from the club (as ruddster did) is idiotic (and libelous). What exactly did I get wrong? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michael Starr 520 Posted July 31, 2008 Best post in ages... spot on![quote user="Branston Pickle"][quote user="lucky green trainers"]yeah, but pre-window roedy was after ''6 or 7'' prem/champs inbetweenies...i can see only 1 genuine signing that fits this bill at the moment...and he''s nowehere fit at the mo!!!many of his younger signings have the potential to improve, and lets hope for the sake of NCFC that roedy can bring the best outa these promising boys - but in my view roedy has sold himself short - his hand being forced by an inadequate budget, cos he''s not met his pre-season target regarding his signings...so much for keeping his powder dry - lol.,/roedy has real ambition - but the meagre budget has pushed him into taking calculated gambles, more than what he would ideally want too imo,./poor ole make-do roedy!!!but, i''d really hate it if it doesn''t come off for roedy, cos imo he deserves better...if these promising boys don''t live upto the hype - we''re in the cr@p, make no mistake???[/quote]Er, I''m not sure where you get your pessimism from but Stefanovic has just spent the last 4-5 seasons in the Prem, Omozusi played nearly 10 Prem games for Fulham last season and has come here to kick-on - so if they are not ''in-betweenies'' at the very least, then just who is?? As for the other signings, I doubt you know a great deal about most of them, so I''m not sure how you are yet to judge whether they are any good or not - for instance, Lupoli, Bell and Kennedy have not even kicked a ball for us, Hoolahan and Clingan have and looked pretty good in the process, Bertrand was a breath of fresh air last season and looks the part to me.Add to that the fact that GR has said we will have up to 4 more players, and I find your pessimism about our signings rather premature.I''m not for one minute saying we are a team of world beaters, but ffs, give them a chance.

His absense coincided with them talking about Rangers and Norwich (he hates both obviously) and it was the 42nd anniversary of England winning the World Cup. So they were basically having a laugh at his expense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
