Guest carlie Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Sure, 35m will probably be spent on the squad. Divided on the next 3 years perhaps Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thespence Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Don't see what else they can do with the tv money coming in the summer as well. £35million is the minimum spend as I see it. Aye. TV money + PL prize money + AC cash. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

binnsy Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Surely £35m sitting in the bank is going to make a canny bit of interest in the next 6-7 months. Hope we get that to spend as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 If we spend anything less than £45 million on fee's and wages we've saved money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they should, the fans want answers so they have to ask the questions. At least Pardew faces the press, unlike those pulling his strings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ishmael Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Pardew is either a liar or the most deluded man in England. I'd argue that all football professionals lie to a certain extent when dealing with the media/public, managers in particular. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Say what you will about Shepherd - I have no doubt that if we ever sold a player for £35 million under him, I have no doubt that the money would be re-invested into the team, even it was just to appease the fans.

Disco Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Fuck players. I think I speak for us all in saying I'll not be happen until we break even like all successful teams.

I don't know about anyone else, but I was assuming after a season in the premier if we stay up, we would have some money to spend in the summer. Without selling Carroll.

Optimistic Nut Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 No doubt they'll argue any contract Barton & Enrique get will be out of this so that takes a fair chunk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Let's not kid ourselves, most clubs are run as businesses these days and those that aren't are in danger of going through what we did after Hall and Shepherd sold up and took all the money with them and left us with the debt. Villa have had to reign in the spending after failing to get a CL spot and Liverpool have only been bailed out of serious shit by Hicks and Gillette paying for their folly. But we won't be able to absorb the loss of Carroll without strengthening the squad significantly across all areas. Any business needs a product worth paying for and if Ashley wants to sell season tickets he will have to invest. With the Carroll sale (along with N'Zogbia, Milner, Given etc) there is more than enough money to do so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

By thte looks of it we would have had to sell somebody else to pay Carrolls wages. Only clubs in Europe can afford to pay 80k/week to a single player. Probably why Carroll didn't want to wait until the summer to re-negotiate his contract as he might have had doubts we would clinch a spot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

merlin Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Did he say 'invested in the team', or 'invested in the SCHEME..!'? I will believe that when I see it - as with everything that is said by this board and manager. Will be surprised if there are more than 3 players bought in summer with a combined outlay of 15m...and Enrique will probably go for around 10m.... When you get to my stage in life, you avoid holding your breath for too long, so I won't be doing it...! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
