"Reassurances That Every Penny Will Be Reinvested In The TEAM."

[Guest VegasToon]

Just remembered this from Golfmag

 

'A very specific part of Pardew's written remit is to reduce costs and the debt, to make it easier for MA to sell the club. Look at everything he says in this context.'

 

Since he was right about Hughton getting shafted and unsurprisingly, the club telling yet more lies, I think some people are going to have to accept that progression of the playing side is unlikely to happen. I reckon we'll be looking mostly at free transfers and hoping to get lucky with bargain basement players

The re investment of the Carrol money seems to imply Pardew isnt in the loop of that Golfmag statement or simply is Golfmag wrong on the club sale side of things 

 

I don't see what is wrong with Pardew's remit to reduce debt and costs.  The fact we have some utter dross on the books making onscene amount of money.  Could it not be that he needs to get rid of that?  We are currently willing to get quality players and pay them.  Ben Afra is a perfect example and other players have been signing contact extentions.  Most of us at the start of the season wanted survival, its looks like we got that.  We might now even have a chance for Europe.  I am going to enjoy this season.  We have accomplished more than what I was expecting and we do have a good squad to build around and make a legimate push for Europe next year.  All of us have our suspicions, but we see Ashley true colors this summer.  We know we have 35 million.  Lets see what happens.

Regardless Ashley is under immense pressure to reinvest most of this sudden windfall into the squad. It's public knowledge that we've got the money in a lump sum now and not only the fans and the media but the players and manager as well have come out with public statements pressuring him to use it. He won't be able to just explain it away if we turn a net profit on transfers this summer.

 

Yeah yeah, "Mike Ashley doesn't care what anyone thinks..." blah blah whatever. Let me have some hope.

He doesn't though

 

He doesn't explain anything so the "he won't be able to just explain it away" part of the post is pointless.

He doesn't care what anyone thinks, until a player hands in a transfer request of course.  Then Mike Ashley made him do it so that people wouldn't be angry at him

Yeah, but Smith alone represents a deficit of £3.1 mill. Most firms go bankrupt with such a loss.

Ashley sanctioned the transfer. And I'm sure we're not the only club with one or two players earning more than they're worth, Villa have just fobbed one off on us. I don't see it as a valid reason for a managerial change, nor a valid reason to sell your best players.

[Punk77]

But we've had many Smiths during the last years. When you multiply him with six he becomes a problem. And our misses on the transfer market and our generous pay policy have drained the coffin. The sum of many errors forced us to sell one of or best players. But hopefully, he's and maybe on more are the only sacrifices we must take in order to steady the ship. But it had to be done. That other clubs overpay their players, doesn't mean that it's ok for us. There are many clubs with tons of debt: Everton, Villa (MON spent £120 mill on s*** players over 4 years) and Bolton (their debt of £100 mill is tied to the owner though, like us.) and what's going to  happen with Chelsea if Abrahimo thinks enough is enough.  

 

None of these clubs can live on borrowed money forever. The s*** will hit the fan. The best and most secure way for us to gain a serious advantage on our  nearest rivals like Everton and Villa, is to have a sound economy when they  forced to cut costs. And that has to be done through reducing some of our debt and avoiding the Smihts so the club can start to make a profit. Establishing the team on the upper half will also fill the stadium, and maybe be a inducer for increasing the capacity. All these factors will lead to a healthy economy which again will enable us to keep the best players and enhancing the depth because we can afford bringing in good talents. Like Arse, we got to build brick by brick.

£20m is gone already btw, because that's what Ashley has to put in every year to stop us instantly emulating Portsmouth and Leeds.

 

Some of the debt was outstanding due to the money owing to the bank as a result of the ground improvements, if he had done the due diligence he would have realised this.

 

And a lot of the debt is down to Ashely's own terrible decisions.

Bringing in Wise who spent money bringing in players on big fees and big wages which the manager of the day didn't want, and was proven in court to be the reason the manager of the day was undermined to the point he was forced to leave.

Bringing in Joe Kinnear who was primarily responsible for the relegation - among a whole range of other shocking decisions running up to the drop.

That was probably the biggest financial hit the club suffered from.

But people shouldn't worry their heads about Dear Old Mike's financial position, he can still afford to spend a million quid in a night in a casino, NUFC aren't draining his bank account too much.

The FCB will scrape back every penny he put into this club, if that process hasn't started already.

Mind you some people are so naive they really think that United will spend the 35 mil we got from Carrroll deal in the summer.

Totally agree that MA has made some serious mistakes. But the fact is, whether you like it or no, that the club is in a better state now than before he took over. We could have ended up like Leeds if Fred had not sold and continued to spend money like he did. Because Fred was not reach enough to lend the club money to keep it afloat, like MA did.

Er, I was being sarcastic in that post btw.
