The boards financial backing this season

Middle of a pandemic with massively reduced match day income and last season of parachute payments

Permanent signings :

Kieffer Moore £2.5mill
Dillon Phillips £750k
Max Watters £750k +
Perry NG £250-500K (TBC)
Jack Simpsonn £750k (TBC)

Puts us around conservatively £5million mark

Add to that we have signed four premier league loan players which would include large wages and fees :

Harry Wilson
Jordi Osei Tutu
Sheyi Ojo
Filip Benkovic

Harris has certainly been backed this season and debunks all the myths about Tan not backing the manager and wanting out.

We should be thankful for his continued contribution in these times

Thomas youve forgot all the players sold and moved out

And in October we received £36mill.

Your figures were way out.

Moore was £1.5mill
Phillips was £500,000
Max Watters £200,000 rising to £5000,000 if promoted etc etc




Can I ask you, are you Thomas Tans PA?



in 18months.

24 players left under Harris incl 10 U23's

Brought in 4 permanent players.

The wage bill is around £30 million so that parachute payment money was wiped straight away. Add to that the impending payment for Sala and all the other day to day running costs of the club and that money doesn't go very far.

The fees are as reported from multiple sources , even so the outlay its still a large outlay which they didn't need to do. They could have kept players like DNny ward and just sat on mid table comfortably .

How come when you talk about signings its only 4 permanent and you don't mention loans

But

When we talk about managers under tan its 10 because you count temporary stand ins like Kerslake And Young ?

At least be consistent if you are going to dig at the club

Tan has fly backed Harris this season with over 10 signings spending over £4 million plus wages of loan players

Forever blue. May I ask why you didn’t put yourself forward in favour of my fans consortium?

That's a one sided post though.

The amounts spent on Moore/Phillips are made up from the money recouped on Etheridge and Patterson.

The wages spend on the four loans are saved from the wages saved from the release of

Richards
Connoly
Mendez Laing
Bogle
Ward

Plus the loaning out of Flint, Joe Day and now Gavin White.

We have wheeled and sealed and probably actually saved money rather than spent more to try and get back up and whilst I'm not critisizing Tan for that in the current climate your post is way off telling the full story

The club have to reduce outgoings from some players on large wages due to relegation and complying with FFP . Thats the same for every club not just ours .

Richards Connolly Bogle and Ward were all fringe players who didn't play and were out of contract. They were not sold they were released and we paid a lot of money to replace them . If they didn't want to spend they could have just attended those players contracts for free. They chose the more expensive option.you can't seriously believe we are paying less for our four loans than we were for those guys last year.

Etheridge was on big money , had lost his place and didn't want to fight to get it back. That's his issue not the clubs and we replaced him with a 750k signing . Again spending money.

Patterson was our main striker last year , we let him go for 500k and spent at least four times that to replace him with Kieffer Moore.

Mendez laing was sacked for reasons as yet unidentified and was replaced with two premier league forward players from Arsenal and Liverpool. Not exactly the cheap option either.

You're reply seems blinkered against the club and very one sided

I think Thomasblues post is much more balanced than ForeverBlues post and the constant, constant jibes and digs at the club.

The parachute payment always comes up by those who knock the club and thank goodness for them but I would imagine if not gone already it soon will be due to the lack of very little money coming into the club in the last year.

“We have wheeled and dealed and probably actually have saved money” - that’s the sign of good management from Tans directive and the excellent work down by our CEO and dare I say it our manager.

My figures are freely available on different sites aswell. Find the reports and the truth will be somewhere in the middle.

Regardless of whether signings are plus add ons. That has to be seen as money spent and the figure comes anywhere between 4 and 5 million depending on what report you believe. We will find out the truth in the clubs financial report.
Etheridge was apparently less than a million and Patterson was widely reported to be about £500k . Thats less than we spent on Moore alone so not sure how you come up with the idea we spent less .

Thanks for the reply but it wasn't needed.

I'm just adding balance based on facts.

The thread title says 'the boards financial backing this season'.

Perhaps I miscontrused it and thought you meant in the transfer market alone.

If you mean the Club as a whole then yes, if you meant in the transfer market then no, we have cut costs, wheeled and dealed and basicly tread water and as I said there's nothing wrong with that in the currint global situation

Not sure why you think my post is against the Club, not sure how anybody could come to that conclusion to be honest unless your reading bits you only want to. The very last part of my post says I don't blame Tan at all.

How is it not true? Says you, based on what, unless you have the clubs accounts?

You seem to want to use your figures when it suits and use words like peanuts when it doesn't.

A few 'sites' say we sold Etherdige for £2 million and Patterson for £500,000, hardly peanuts and covers the spend on Moore and Phillips. No doubt those sites will be wrong whilst we will have to take your word that we spent 2.5 million on Moore from yours

As for the 'Premier League' players brought in on loan, that's stretching the boat a bit isn't it, 3 of the 4 maybe under the arm of premier clubs in name but they certainly aren't premier league players really

Osei Tuto 22 never played a premier league game.

Ojo 23 8 appearances

Benkovic 23 premier league appearances 0

And how to you know they are on large wages? You don't do you, so why say it? They are probably on less than many we released like NML, Connoly and Richards so it's covered if not less but again I can't be sure as I don't have the clubs accounts.

It's like Wilson, there was so much bullshit floating about on what he earned at Liverpool.

If I had the time and the means I'd look into it a bit more but I don't but I reckon when the club accounts are released our wages would have gone down and our net spend won't be in the +

ALL OF WHICH IS UNDERTSTABLE IN THE GRAND SCHEME OF Things but hardly backing the Club in the transfer market.

PS. Adding players who havnt even signed to strengthen your point is a bit daft.

Get your facts right once again Paul, NO CONSTANT JIBES AT MY CLUB, MY COMMENTS AND FACTS ARE WHAT THE COMMITTEE HAVE BEEN DOING & ARE DOING.

Also I know for a fact, my figures are correct.


And yes the £36mill should be mentioned, Why not?
Its what weve received a fact.

Next year nothing, then Tan will have to use his own money.


Its our club, not the Committee's we will be supporting way after them lot have gone.

Context is everything and in two season blighted by COVID, spending any money on players when we have limited Matchday revenue is a huge positive and frankly a bonus at the moment.

We could have got money from the sales of Etheridge, Patterson etc and spent nothing - that is the case with many clubs this season.

I suspect that we will be in the top 5 net spenders in the Chanpionship this season.

We will have to see come the end of the season but I'm not so sure.

Preston, Reading and the mighty Barnsley all have a higher net spend than us at the moment on the site I just looked at.

But Again it's all speculation as only the Clubs will know the true figures.

Jeez fellas, everyone has their views,no need for the bickering? This is a club we ALL love,and for most have supported since childhood, and that's not a dig at so called newbies etc,as I think one extra fan is one extra fan,regardless of length of time spent as one.

Correct

That’s why when there’s personal snipes at me out of order . I don’t like the Regime or Respect or trust them that’s my view and should be accepted.

That’s not having ago at the club who I love, it’s the people running it, totally different.

Ok lets say we all agree tan is still having a go by spending on new recruits
Why in heavens name would you entrust those players to Neil Harris?. Any creativity would be coached out of them ."sit back" "pass it sideways".

I think we have plenty of good players but without a decent managerial and coaching setup it makes no difference

I don't post on here that often but when I do I always try to engage the poster with respect and will adapt my tone accordingly to the way they speak to me.

In this thread I put an alternative point accross and said that I felt the post was one sided, nothing personal just a differing view.

I was met with a reply of 'your post seems to blinkered AGAINST the Club' suggesting I'm in some way against the Club I love, which I'm not, clearly from my posts for anyone who actually read them. I took that personally.

The most frustrating things on here are when people post opinions and claim them to be actual fact, I said throughout the thread that the figures I used might not be factualy correct as I don't work on the Club Accounts department.

I love the Club and don't blame them for their stance in the pandemic but in the same breath don't think you can say they have backed the manager financialy either. The accounts, I think will show us wiping our face which as I said is fine.

The bottom line is though that you always lose the argument when you get personal. It's why Roathy thrives on here as people bite to him and yes I have been one of the worst culprits for it

Anyway, there's definitly no banging my head against a wall here, 9/10 im posting with a smile, sometimes michchieviously but never maliciously.

The bottom line is though that you always lose the argument when you get personal. It's why Roathy thrives on here as people bite to him and yes I have been one of the worst culprits for it

Anyway, there's definitly no banging my head against a wall here, 9/10 im posting with a smile, sometimes michchieviously but never maliciously.

To be fair Steve, we agree on something’s and diss agree on others, but you are very Respectful

Jeez fellas, everyone has their views,no need for the bickering? This is a club we ALL love,and for most have supported since childhood, and that's not a dig at so called newbies etc,as I think one extra fan is one extra fan,regardless of length of time spent as one.
We all know by now most fans views regards owner/committee etc,and those of the opposite view,let's just respect one another's opinions,like them or not?? BLOOOOOBIRDS

Hahahaha, it can get like that on here.

I picture some members here banging their heads against the wall between reading a reply and returning to their computers.

I wonder how many use computers to post and how many are on their phones?

I don't post on here that often but when I do I always try to engage the poster with respect and will adapt my tone accordingly to the way they speak to me.

In this thread I put an alternative point accross and said that I felt the post was one sided, nothing personal just a differing view.

I was met with a reply of 'your post seems to blinkered AGAINST the Club' suggesting I'm in some way against the Club I love, which I'm not, clearly from my posts for anyone who actually read them. I took that personally.
