Optimistic Nut Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Just read on RTG that they've only scored 8 goals in 16 games against teams in the bottom half....not a single one at home. Pretty fucked given their remaining away fixtures and their home games other than Everton are against teams in the bottom half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattoon Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I think they will now go down, although why the mackems on here want that to happen I do not know. You can get rid of dead wood/the crap without getting relegated you know. Unless you come straight back up you could spend many a fruitless year down there. In Jan they should have bought a goalscorer, or someone capable of scoring, even if it was someone in on loan. There is a distinct lack of goals in them where as the others seem to have that, i.e. Cardiff and even West Brom. I can't believe we lost twice to these mind, f***ing Pardew wants shot with s***! I think it's just because it's easier to clear out the deadwood, mercenaries don't like to hang about in the Championship and there'll be a few clauses in there to get rid of others you don't want to keep. However you do need a nucleus of players that can be your backbone, players with the desire to fight for the cause that can cut it in the championship which is a whole different beast to the Premo, not sure where that's gonna come from with them.

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.

Cajun Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Borini is on loan, probably some fee involved though. Can't believe he is still only 22 mind. Might be worth a punt if Liverpool don't want him and he is available at a decent price. Not exactly prolific but looks a decent player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool paid a fair few for him so I doubt they'd bin him off cheap. Be useful player to have in the squad for them next year with more games on the cards n all.

Dokko Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 He'll just replace moses won't he? Maybe he's the one we could do a loan for. Big step down but he'd get more games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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.
