What was the point of this thread.

Does everything need a point. It is just a football forum after all.

 

Incidentally, I was intrigued that £2m has risen to £3m. Does anybody know how.   OP perhaps?

They put the chicken feed on a horse that came in at 1/2[;)]

 

I reckon it''s that we had 1m for Bennett plus 2m from Mickey F.

 

Makes sense so long as the two amounts weren''t previously connected.

So where does the 3million news come from ? or is it just from this thread if so as I said no point just guessingI wouldn''t have thought someone would plough in 2 mill just after the transfer window has closed

[quote user="Yellow Rages"]Because the club told us in their statement[/quote]

 

--

 

It did:

Foulger confirmed that the £2m was available to Lambert during the January transfer window. "It is a lot of money but it is earmarked solely for strengthening of the playing squad,” said Foulger. “Everyone is happy with that and it was available in January if it had been required for the transfer window."

Another point is that McNally''s statement about three seven-figure bids for Bennett (so starting at not less than £1m) probably refers to potential final figures - including various add-ons - rather than the basic fee. David Cuffley said in a recent Q&A he doubted very much if we had made an unconditional £1m opening bid for a winger who''s never played above League One. And the Brighton Argus put our final bid (presumably without add-ons ) at £900,000.

So we may not have 2m[:O]

 

What we may have is 2m less what we paid for Barnett, less what we paid for Tierney less the loan fee for Lansbury but plus whatever we got for The Admiral.

 

So had we landed Bennett we could have spent out?

No. That can''t have happened. At least not to the £2.5m they actually loaned, as opposed to an imaginary £2m loan.

What''s half a million between rich people......? Who never really got on with the other rich people......?

 

Or are you going to say it was ''amicable'' that the Turner Two departed the club/board......? Or that the financial situation with their company meant they couldn''t continue as board-members?....Or maybe they didn''t really get on with the other rich people? 

 

Have they moved to the other side of the world? The Turner''s haven''t graced Carra with their presence as far as I''m aware since Roger gave an interview to the local nooze after the Turners departed.....Do they come to home games and travel to away games, incognito?.....

 

I guess we''ll just never know.......

So it''s even worse now..

 

That 2m less the money spent  in January, less the repayment of 2.5m to Roeder''s bosom buddies leaves us.....

 

Waiting for the NOTW to run the story[:O]

 

Still, we should stay up with a 10 point deduction and maybe have half a chance of making the play offs.

 

Oh, and the Turner Two were about as conspicuous at away games as Lord Lucan from Byker.....
