nufcjb Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Are we really that skint though? The fact is Ashley and his advisers have maintained that we really need to offload the deadwood in the squad before getting new players in. Of course, we could just splash the cash that we've received like other clubs had we had an ambitious owner. But he's a c*** who wants things done his way and his way is that we have to offload first to buy. Don't think we're that skint like the fellas down the road.

Guest chopey Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 We need to do more to get rid of the players, every club will do it this year but it must be a pisser to an owner to pay players hundreds of thousands a month to be outside the 25 man squad.

Sho Time Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 If he'd flog them on the cheap and subsidise a part their wages it wouldn't be a problem. As I've said before, he wants the best of both worlds. Get a half-decent transfer fee and get their wages covered. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I've said before, he wants the best of both worlds. Get a half-decent transfer fee and get their wages covered. Don't know about the "half-decent transfer fee" - think we'd be happy to shift the likes of Colback, Krul, Reviere and Darlow for nominal fees. Saivet and Lazaar cost a few quid, and it's not unreasonable to want to claw some of that back. Can't see Ashley countenancing the subsidisation of wages, at all. Don't blame him, either, on that one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sho Time Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 If it's the lack of manoeuvring that is stopping us from signing players that will keep us in the league, progressing as a club and keeping the TV money rolling in, you can blame him and you should blame him.

Guest Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Why are those figures surprising though. They had no one to sell, didn't have big wages to try and shift when they came up, so they can go and spend a chunk of the TV money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Someone said it right though. Huddersfield have spent a good chunk of money on buying what they already had (loans deals turning into full transfers), and Brighton haven't set the works alight with their signings. Us on the other hand spent last summer buying a few Premier League players, and kept a decent squad when we went down. Brighton and Huddersfield have a lot of catching up to do to be Premier League ready. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously not, but they are spending money they don't currently have. Ashley's policy is to never do that, which is why we are where we are. Excellent from a business sense, complete shit from a footballing sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
