what happens if we spend big?

Putting the rebrand aside for now,lets talk football on the pitch.


what happens if we spend big? (answer) if we spend big on quality players we will have every chance of securing our premiership status for next season. This will guarantee us a further 80 million in tb money. If we fail to buy the necessary players to keep us in the division we could go another 4 - 5 years struggling to return to the top flight. So therefore I feel it is right for city to be aggressive in the transfer market. Speculate to accumulate is the way forward and by keeping our premiership status our current crop of championship winning players will see their values sore.

f**k me mate this is the most positive post I have seen from you.

I was expecting you to say we should mimic swansea etc etc so fair play I'm glad you can look beyond the rebrand and not let it influence all your views about the club

it also puts our debt up. some might say

So spend big and stay up, or not enough and go down..... you seem to have left out the major one there mate.

Spend big and go down. it could potentially kill your club you tool

If malky thinks their the right players for us then I'm not to concerned with how much they cost,best to leave that to the money men.I'm sure we won't spend beyond our means and the players brought in will be quality and capable of keeping us in the premier.

Even if we spend big and get relagated we will receive parachute payments

Spend big - go down, Spend little - go down, Spend big - stay up, Spend little - stay up, etc etc etc. It's called FATE.

Out of interest, how does calling somebody a "tool" reconcile to your footer re insults?

It's a risky strategy, but hopefully Malky can do what Redknapp couldn't.

Although these sound like brilliant signings, the amount of money we seem to be willing to spend does concern me slightly!

Like Portsmouth did you mean?

Parachute payments are to help with the carry over fees from the prem as every player gets their wage increased by the sheer fact they are now prem players, you will still be making a heavy loss with parachute payments. its to help clubs not going bust... not to help them get promoted again. the more you spend the less impact the parachute payments will have.

All if's buts and maybes, myself i'm going to enjoy the season it taken long enough for us to get there

QPR were in a mess,malkys got things running professionally.
i can't see what happened at QPR happening to us.

Well I finally managed to sign up to this forum, I would like to say a big thank you to bluebird37 for using my post on this site which I have no problem with whatsoever. I look forward to having some great banter with my fellow bluebirds. a little bit about me, I've been supporting the city since the age of 5 and now i'm approaching my 49th birthday, like many of you old enough to remember we have been through some turbulent times watching out beloved club. I have been great friends with Annis for the past 20 years travelling the length and breadth of the country, I have been lucky enough to watch this club as a fan on the terrace, a seat in the directors box for a season and following and reporting on the club with my great friend Terry Phillips from the Echo, so I have seen pretty much all aspects of following this club. (and I can tell you now it's been hard) The past 12 years have been an absolute roller coaster ride watching this club progress to finally making our dreams come true, we all have our views on the re-brand and this is something that 100% of fans will never agree on. However, whether you're blue or red one thing we all have in common is the undeniable love we have for our club and fellow supporters. We are facing possibly the hardest season in the clubs history and now as fans we need to play our part in supporting the boys and making some noise together (united we stand, united we fall) so lets take up the challenge my name is Lee Beames, and I look forward to speaking to you all regularly.

Welcome aboard Lee

I agree with your Facebook sentiments. Exciting times mate

Lakey

it also puts our debt up. some might say

So what happens with the 140 million we have just secured for winning the Championship ????????????????????????????????????.some might say now that we can afford and need to bring in decent players as we are now in a financial position that is exactly what we should do unless you want us to end up like Derby,Blackpool,Hull .

it also puts our debt up. some might say

And more indebted to our Vincent

So spend big and stay up, or not enough and go down..... you seem to have left out the major one there mate.

You're not spending enough it's just a matter of time before it costs you and you start flying down the leagues again

Small change to Tan you tool, he's a billionaire you tool

We are not be run buy a poor mans local builders merchant

What a terrifying mentality.

if it was TAN FC then id take your point, hes a rich man... however its Cardiff City FC and the fact you are spending everything you have plus Tans loans should be screaming 'danger' to you. he can afford it, your club cant clearly hence why they need Tans loans.

Whether Jenkins was a builders merchant or a oil tycoon matters little, we spend what WE make and nothing more.

Lee stop feeding Martin hall those early morning stories as he pesters me to see if I know anything. So far we have signed kuyt, Williamson and the llandaff girls school story has given me great ammunition
Welcome to the board how's rocket these days still telling everyone we are signing Danny graham

Well Swansea could well go down this season and indeed are my tip to do so parachute payments should stop you going bust AGAIN.

why would we need parachute payments to stop us going bust?

we spend 55% of income on wages with a relegation clause written into every players contract with a minimum release clause activated and a pay cut.

Haven't you committed to expanding the Liberty? Plus I wouldn't read too much into that 55% bollocks Laudrups threat to go has seen to that.

what happens if we spend big?...... We owe tan even more money, thats all really
