bhoywhonder Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 £7m on a Scottish striker with 1 goal for his country. £12 million Rising to £14 million including add ons http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/19256084 :spit take: That is absolutely ludicrous! £36 million for a non-scoring forward line has to be unprecedented. I've been cautiously optimistic about their fate, but surely, given their remaining fixtures......it's Yeovil time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jtm_92 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Their spending since short took them over has been ridiculous, i'm pretty sure they have spent over 100 million within 4 seasons. EDIT: I will check transfermarkt ( usually reliable) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jtm_92 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Ellis short took them over in may 2009 money spent money recouped 09/10 £ 40.5 million £ 18.7 million 10/11 £ 25.6 million £ 36.7 million 11/12 £ 24.8 million £ 23.1 million 12/13 £ 33.7 million £ 13 million 13/14 £ 29.8 million £ 19.6 million Total £ 154.4 million £ 111.1 million = - £ 43.3 million That is not including compensation to managers/coaches they have fired and i think loan fees as well, they made a loss of 23 million last season and have a bank overdraft of 40 million so if they do get relegated this season, you could say they could be up shit creek without a paddle.

ponsaelius Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 They paid 36m for their strikers How much!? Fletcher 12-14m Wickham 8-10m Altidore 7-9m Scocco 4m Borini ? . I'm sure I read something like that on rtg the other day. Graham £5 million Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Yep, spot on. I don't see the passion the likes of Nolan, Raylor, Harper etc.. gave to the side or the youngster (Colback is fucking off isn't he?) that is going to take the league by storm. I was speaking to one guy from school who still keeps in touch with him a little while back, apparently last Summer both Palace and Hull were after him but Sunderland wouldn't let him go, they were both considering coming in for him in January but they know they can get him for nothing in the summer when his contract is up.

hithere Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 To be honest if we go down then it looks like we'll be there for a while. Out of the current squad Bardsley, Colback, Larsson, Westwood, Gardner and Dossena are out of contract. Alonso, Ki, Borini, Celustka, Vergini, Ustari return to their parent clubs Fletcher, Johnson, Altidore, Giacherrini and probably Cattermole will be off if a buyer can be found. Mannone will have offers as well I'd imagine. Leaving us heading into that league with a squad of O'Shea, Roberge, Bridcutt, Mavrias, Watmore, Wickham and Brown if he doesn't retire plus a load of kids and shite we can't get shot of.

Leaving us heading into that league with a squad of O'Shea, Roberge, Bridcutt, Mavrias, Watmore, Wickham and Brown if he doesn't retire plus a load of kids and shite we can't get shot of. Whilst that's a hell of an exodus, there's probably not that many that you would choose to have in your squad were you to be promoted next year. I should imagine Short would keep investing which would probably mean a couple of 'big names' for that division and perhaps some younger kids with good potential. Coupled with incoming loan signings and you'd be back in with a shout. The key would probably be to keep Poyet and then let him ingrain his footballing methodology throughout the squad/club and then add to it. To change philosophy mid-season must be difficult, especially with some players he would never choose and some who probably aren't even capable of adapting to it. In some respects, I imagine a relegation is what you need to clear the decks but, in other, you'd absolutely have to come straight back up. Even just the salaries of O'Shea and Brown alone are probably enough to cover half of a first eleven of other clubs in the Championship. It's a strange league the Championship these days and you'd be doing well to totally dominate it. Edit: I still don't see you going down (think you'll pull of some surprise results between now and the end of the season) and also think the likes of Bardsley, Johnson and Cattermole would stick around.
