BottledDog Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 So you'd both be perfectly happy with us losing Tiote and not spending a penny of the transfer fee? Ludicrous. The forced simplicity of your question is pretty ludicrous. All i'm saying is that I'd be perfectly happy with us losing Tiote if we subsequently improved. If that was down to us reinvesting the money then great, if not... then great. Money goes into the club, money goes out, isolating particular income as being special seems fairly pointless with all due respect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 We didn't improve because of the Carroll sale, though. There's nothing to support that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sifu Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Would you have a problem with it if they money wasn't reinvested? If the Carroll saga taught us anything, it's that the transfer fee will not be fully reinvested Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottledDog Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 We didn't improve because of the Carroll sale, though. There's nothing to support that. It doesn't really matter whether it was down to the Carroll sale or not (though I'd be surprised if the money didn't allow us a greater freedom or flexibility when it came to bringing in players or negotiating contracts over the summer). We seem to have improved, and if we do that more often than not when we lose a big player I'm not going to get too concerned about the clubs actual spending.

Dave Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 As a manager the worst thing you can do at St James Park is get off to a flying start because the Geordies swiftly raise expectations to unrealistic levels which makes the inevitable disappointment likely to lead to a sacking swiftly.
