Ketsbaia Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 To me the quote of "Their is no plan for a capital outlay of players" does not neccisarly mean that their is no funds for player available, it to me could mean that they are not putting a figure on how much they will spend on players, they will be willing to pay whatever they feel is a reasonable amount on each player or how ever much it will cost to get Chris' targets in, thus not limiting themselves to a budget. This is how I see it too. Instead of "Chris, heres £15m to spend", it will be "Chris, we won't put limits on money, buy who you think needs buying. Don't go overboard though".

Cajun Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Not really an enticing prospect to think we are actively aiming to be a glorified feeder club. Get in the likes of Bassong for pennies and then sell them on to an ambitious club a few years later. We're pretty much Wigan Athletic now. We'll have the 8-0 and 9-0 defeats to go with it next season. Wigan buy players. I wish we were Wigan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Leazes_Lad Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 They were better off saying nothing tbh. Not really surprising there's little/no cash to spend given the state of the finances at the club. Coloccini and Jonas will be very much in the shop window this summer. Should sell them after the WC and then buy up the best of the championship imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest malandro Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 “An estimated loss of £32.5m for 09/10” So unless the wage bill goes through the roof this summer the £35m we get from the Premier League TV deal should see us breaking even next season. So the plan to 'break even' by 2016 must refer to paying off the various loans the club have? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdckelly Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 hard to make much out of that positive we (kinda, maybe, not so sure) know where we stand not so positive is the no capital spending thing. That could mean no spending unless we sell first or means we wont spend much and not beyond the means of the club Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
