Lets just focus on the 2011/12 season and keep it real eh? You think we should copy Liverpool's current strategy?

Liverpool are going to come massively unstuck this season. They wanted C.L., that was their target after their massive investment. They now have Gerrard coming out saying he would rather win the League Cup than finish 4th, funny that.

 

I hope City batter the scouse cunts tonight

I see. If Liverpool finish 6th and we finish 8th, then we have had a better season and have a better future than Liverpool, according to you :icon_lol:

Threads come and go, but you either engage Leazes' 8 years old argument or don't.

 

QFT

 

and after all that time, it stands up, because nobody has yet done better than the hopeless Fred. :icon_lol:

3 months ago these posts contained constant reference to Liverpool backing their manager and being ambitious. Funny you don't bring them up anymore :lol:

 

3 months ago, these posts [from you and others] were proclaiming how we were going to conquer the world for about a fiver.

What a liar you are.

 

No, for the last 18 months I've been saying we are moving in the right direction. I've often said perhaps we could have been a little bit more ambitious but not much.

 

The hilarious, ironic and slightly annoying thing about you and your posts is that it's me who has been right for the last 18 months, every passing week justifies my positivity and undermines your inaccurate, uneducated, naive and redundant narrative. I agree about the previous board but it's got fuck all to do with my point of view today .

You think that Shearer was a waste of money ? Fuck me sideways.

 

 

 

Where do i say that?

 

The point I am making is that in order for the current board to match the tremendous ambition of the previous board they'd have to spend the equivalent of an entire year's turnover on a single player.

 

THAT is how much football has changed, something you refuse to accept.

you aren't right, you are wrong.

 

I'm the most positive person you could meet, because I understand what it takes to succeed, and how NUFC ought to behave as a football club, not behaving like a selling club and making excuses for not backing their manager. I've leave the deluded dreaming to those aren't educated enough about football to understand this, and naive enough to not see a selling club when it is staring them in the face.

Please feel free to put up the quote where I said that, I think its in the Leazes cloud cuckoo land making things up thread.

If we finish above Liverpool I would consider that a great season bearing in mind their spending, wouldn't you?

I also think an 8th place finish would be a marked improvement over the last few years and give us a platform to build on, although given our position now,finishing outside the Europa League places would be a bit dissapointing, Especially after spending £10m on a new, proven striker

you're knocking the signing of Shearer, aren't you ?

 

Please tell me how many clubs are bankrolled, as well as ManU and their global appeal. Then tell me how many were bankrolled during the period 1992-2007, then tell me what exactly that has to do with NUFC sinking to the ambitions of the likes of West Brom, Blackburn, Stoke etc etc selling their best players, and operating a sell and replace policy rather than a build and improve policy ?

Well, who do you think will have the most successful transfer strategy, us or Liverpool, as you are scorning the approach of Liverpool, the approach which has seen them win trophies for over 40 years ?

 

I don't know why I'm asking this, you haven't answered almost anything I've asked you so far.

At the minute we are the best of the rest (maybe even turning the big six into the big seven) and turning a huge profit to boot.

 

If the FCB ever sells, we have absolutely set the conditions for success.

We won't though. Leazes is absolutely right when he says that the height of our ambition is to finish 7th/8th. It is highly unlikely that we will be able to compete for silverware/CL spots on a regular basis without being bankrolled by a billionaire.

 

The Halls saw this and it was part of the reason that they sold up. It appears that Ashley is not prepared to offer such financial support because of the money he has already had to put into the the club and also the fact that the majority of fans despise him.

one swallow doesn't make a summer.

 

If the FCB ever sells, and we want to be successful, the new owners will have to start keeping our best players and makiing a "trophy signing" or two, rather than setting our sights as high as clubs like West Brom, Stoke, Blackburn and Bolton.

 

I really think that my realistic and more aware view of the football club, pushes up your delusion to new heights.

so we are now matching the ambitions of West Brom, Stoke etc. Praise to Mike and the sterling job he's doing. What pub do you watch NUFC in ?

how much more income do they need than the 14th biggest in football ? Thus not needing to sell their best players ?

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revenue

 

so the answer is no them, we didnt have the 14th biggest income in football, we had the 14th biggest revenue

 

have a read http://en.wikipedia....wiki/Net_income

 

then you may understand why people are so abusive to you, its a shame really because when you're not trashing every thread your comments are usually good

 

"In business, revenue is income that a company receives from its normal business activities, usually from the sale of goods and services to customers. In many countries, such as the United Kingdom, revenue is referred to asturnover".

 

The question remains, how much more money does he need in order NOT to sell our best players. If our revenues have fallen proportionally against our rivals, then who is the person responsible for that ?

 

I know my comments are always good, it's a shame that people have a blind spot when the names Hall and Shepherd come into play though.

 

come on fella, you're reading the bit you wanted to read, if you read further you would of seen this

 

Net income is the residual income of a firm after adding total revenue and gains and subtracting all expenses and losses for the reporting period.

 

so whilst we may have had 14th biggest revenue we were paying huge amounts of money out on servicing debts so our net income was shocking as the finacial figures for the last few years of the former board show

 

no, not every point is a good point, stop being a tool, when you aren't harking on about "your man" and "14th biggest revenue" your points are good, but when you default back its tiresome

wasn't the development of the stadium a structured and manageable debt, due to expire in a few years time, linked to ticket sales etc ? Don't you agree with expanding the capacity to increase revenues, is this not what a good business does ?

 

Do you also think every club in football is in the black ? Or just NUFC under the previous regime, because they took this business decision, and therefore should not have expanded the stadium ?

 

Surely, as HF says and I fully concur, having the 14th biggest revenues in world football means the club can live with the top clubs in the world on an operational basis, without having to sell its best players , or else where has the Carroll money gone ?

sometimes I wonder if the club ought to have just dropped into the 3rd division under the McKeags and Seymour etc, as a selling club, like Sheff Wed have done, because it certainly seems to be how a lot of people want things to be done, rather than speculate on success and tap the fanbase, and nobody seems to have any idea of the job that was done by the previous regime.

I'll answer your nonsensical questions when you answer my relevant ones.
