On the cheap

Fri Jun 30, 2017 9:55 am

I firmly believe that the people who own and run our club want to do so on the cheap, my concern is has Warnock bought into this philosophy as well, time will tell I guess

Uhmmmmmm.....not sure how you come to that conclusion tbh. We've signed 5 players, one for over 1.5m and and extreamly highly rated player from Scotland.
In addition have secured the players we wanted to keep on good contracts Hoilett, Harriss and Manga.

All of the above has taken a lot of investment.

Not sure what players you were expecting? Havnt seen any other championship teams buying anyone of interest even Terry I wouldn't havnt bothered with:
For me the club is doing everything they can

The club was under FFP embargoes and is still making a considerable loss. What do you want them to do? They're doing the best they can.

Do you honestly believe Tan wants us in the Premiership or as I believe he's quite content for us to be a middle of the table Championship side

Where's the money going to come from? We are sailing very close to the wind to FFP so what's your solution?

what a load of crap, for the first time in yrs tan has properly backed his manager and credit should be given to him for doing that and we aint done yet

First time in years we're being run within a budget (which tan is backing) . Thank God we have one of the best managers out there for getting value for that money however much it might be. I'm optimistic about the season. Would rather be in our position than say villa, Derby or Norwich who will really gave to rain it in if they fail to get up this season.

Fact. We're FINALLY doing business the correct way. Not spending more than we can afford, paying off huge debts, a great manager and a bunch of players who are up for it and this miserable tw*t is STILL moaning.
