Kevin Carr's Gloves 3999 Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Are you up for a bet? I bet that we dont spend more than 15 million on new players in the summer. If we do and I am wrong I will quit the board. Are you willing to back the owners and quit the board if we spend 15 mill or less? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we do and I am wrong I will quit the board. Are you willing to back the owners and quit the board if we spend 15 mill or less? Why the need to quit the board, whether right or wrong? There's no need for it. Frustration, man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 tbf to Skiddy I think his view may be the same as yours since Monday. Tbf it always has been. My username alone should be enough to suggest that I'm not pro-ashley/llambias. I just pull people up for going overboard or in the case of Leazes, talking complete unsubstantiated bollocks. Ashley being unambitious doesn't make Shepherd/Halls good owners, the state of both the team and the club's finances when they left prove that. I think the problems were clearly deeper than the 'rethink' that Leazes has suggested was needed too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 (edited) Are you up for a bet? I bet that we dont spend more than 15 million on new players in the summer. If we do and I am wrong I will quit the board. Are you willing to back the owners and quit the board if we spend 15 mill or less? Don't see the point in this. I reckon we will definitely spend more than £15m and I'd bet money on that. The concern should be what the net spend will be, it's far from certain that there'll be nobody going the other way. I reckon there might even be a 'trophy' signing, like there was the summer before the 3-year season ticket deal, for obvious reasons.

I reckon there might even be a 'trophy' signing, like there was the summer before the 3-year season ticket deal, for obvious reasons. well, you lost the last bet and are still here Seriously skidders, snakehips is right, there is no need for people to leave the board, we all have different opinions but there will come a time when you will have to concede you got it wrong. See the thread about the new financial rules, and the list of clubs in debt. This is my reply to you when you asked where do we get the money from to speculate....the same as everyone else including smaller clubs than us who have found themselves able to speculate more than us. Doesn't make sense does it ? We are bigger than those clubs and should be punching higher shouldn't we ? If we buy some quality players, and I mean some, with a view to strengthening the team as against the team that started the current season, fair enough. This is what a progressive buying club does against a selling club. You know it won't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't know where these 'smaller clubs' get it, but assume we can just get it from the same place as them? You keep saying I was wrong. Can you specify, with quotes, what I was wrong about? Wreck.

Well, yes. Would you rather have spent years fighting for premiership survival and looking at the bank balance, selling your best players to try and break even, like now, instead of buying players like Bellamy and Robert who put a mid table team back into the top 4 ?

I'll make it with you though, if you're offering it. And the other aren't pointing it out to me, the vast, vast majority are laughing at you, and the ones that aren't are the ones that have been for the last few years and just got bored.

Make a deal with you, if there is a net spend of more than £15million on the fee alone then I will donate money to SBT charity, if they spend less, you donate, hows that sound?

Why would I do that like? Can you not read? Read the bit in bold, it hardly suggests that I'm confident about the net spend being over £15m, in fact I clearly state that I'm worried it won't be.

Phil 6 Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 The figure is irrelevant. Number of bodies and quality is what counts. Re-signing Jose is as important as signing as striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
