Derby Canary 3 Posted February 9, 2011 As these funds have apparently been known about (within the Club) since early Jan I wonder whether having this level of finance available (for player recruitment)was a condition of PL staying on. Could this be the reason that his personal confirmation that he had no interest in the Burnley post was delayed for few days?Whatever the background to this it is a fantastic gesture by Mr Foulger.

The River End Mardle 0 Posted February 9, 2011 I reckon PL defo sat down and said back me with some cash or I am off!Question is how much of this money has he already spent if we have had it since the start of Jan and whats left in the Piggy bank for this loan window.For more viewshttp://theriverendmardle.moonfruit.com/#/daily-mardles/4548302728 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T 190 Posted February 9, 2011 and ireckon this is complete and utter nonsense given that that lambert said he was happy with the club''s rejection of the appraoch overnight. Besides 2m is nothing compared to the 8m parachute payments Burnley get of the 42m newly demoted clubs will get. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Derby Canary 3 Posted February 9, 2011 Good managers always know when they have reached the pinnacle of what can be achieved at a club and this is the time to seek pastures new. PL would have been aware that with this level of extra investment there is still some way to go at NCFC which can only look good on his CV.I have been following our Club for some 50 years now and he rates among the best. Lets hope that he feels there is more potential here at the end of this season! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
. 0 Posted February 9, 2011 Two million is a drop in the ocean in modern football. It really is peanuts.Quite why this trifling sum is generating such excitement shows how naive many of you are. Good on Foulger for putting this sum in.... but it ain''t gonna do anything other than balance Delia''s over-cooked books.Let''s have a look at the club''s mounting debts and see where £2million actually takes us?

Bill 1,788 Posted February 9, 2011 "I reckon PL defo sat down and said back me with some cash or I am off! "yep, that''s about the sum total of itEach board member would have had to connive in the subsequent deceit. The club secretary would had to produce false minutes, the club treasurers, the accountants and even the two banks would have had to been in on it as well. I''m not sure about the legality of producing false records of a company''s board decisions or why the auditors who are seperate to the club would see any reason to join in this lie. However it doesn;t end there. Lambert and, most likely the coaching staff, would have to be party to this lie. Quite a stretch of the imagination, for what. Football managers are usually on some form of confidentiality clause, hence there being almost no ''kiss and tell'' stories afterwards. I can hardly see Lambert signing (or the club obliging him to) sign a false statement clause - whereby he has to make a false statement to the press.But then when it''s a conspiract theory why bother with accuracy. Any old smear will do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Derby Canary 3 Posted February 10, 2011 I suspect that there will be little more spent this season (on loans ie). I cannot imagine circumstances where the Club (or Directors etc) would go public with the funds we have available to encourage inflated asking prices for loanees. We will see.

Your sarcasm and haughty tone irritated me hence my comment... It seems no-one on this board - such as the OP for instance - can post something vaguely sensible (and there is a LOT which is far from sensible!) for discussion without someone rushing to put them down with low wit or point-scoring.
