The College Dropout Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Liverpool always show ambition. Often poor execution. But I'm jealous of the ambition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I would say that buying Carroll, Downing and Henderson for those massive fees is not the kind of ambition I would be jealous of. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrettNUFC Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Our owner doesn't want to piss his money up the wall for a hobby, instead wants to use us to increase his bank account. That's the problem we currently have. A lot of big club owners aren't interested in the balance sheet if it means bringing in success and trophies.

Fixed Would be fixed if we struck lucky like Man City. That's all they've done. Some would say cheated their way to success. They aren't the only ones. I'm not having a dig at Ashley, it's sensible, just infuriating for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, except I think Ashley can only make money indirectly through promotion of Sports Direct etc. It's extremely unlikely he's ever going to make any money through NUFC from the actual running of the club - he just doesn't want to subsidise us.

Neil Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Graeme Bailey @GraemeBailey 47s We are hearing Hull have agreed deals with Spurs for Tom Huddlestone (perm) and Jake Livermore (loan). Huddlestone's an excellent buy for Hull IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were in the black on the last accounts and we stand to gain a 40million per season windfall which it doesn't look like we're going to invest in the squad, so I don't see why not.

Deuce Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 That's a coup for Dynamo. Diarra's still a quality DM, he should be able to find regular work at a decent club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
