Wallace Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-4839444/Transfer-deadline-day-spending-LATEST-Window-numbers.html According to the table in that article, we have spent £36.2m and brought in £24.7 leaving a net spend of £11.5m. When you consider the players who have left: de Jong, Murphy, Hanley, Riviere, Gouffran, Anita, Krul and Lazaar - that must be between £250k to £300k per week off the wage bill as well so £12m+ a year. I would be surprised if the wages for the new arrivals totalled that much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
afar Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 until people stop going or pick one game to send a big f u. nothing will change. Today has been a disgrace That won't change a thing. Bournemouth paid 20 million for a player this off season, on gates of what 11k. The only thing AShley responds to is money and the money is in the TV deal, this squad although weak is still capable of making 17th, he'll be delighted with that.

tinoasprilla Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 why televise us when no one is there. Atmosphere is half the selling product not sure why im suprised but we are a joke under ashley Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Nelson Oliveira https://twitter.com/ChronCourtney/status/903187858806235136 Swansea already bid £12m for him, so that's not happening. Is he the crap one form Norwich? Yeah that's the fella. ? He doesn't even start for them. Every link is getting worse now. Didn't realise he scored for Portugal tonight.

You are overplaying the importance of the live televised games in the UK, the big money is the amount all clubs get through the UK and oversees deals. Hell I watched the WBA/Stoke game live here in Canada, they didn't stop showing it because of the masses of empty seats. Attendance bears little relation to the decisions they make on the games they pick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A packed stadium of 52k definitely does make better television, it must come into the equation when Sky are choosing which games to televise over a season.

Attendance bears little relation to the decisions they make on the games they pick. WBA/Stoke that was on on Sunday? There weren't masses of empty seats at all. This isn't a one off thing and Sky was just an example, this is about the Premier League as a brand. A consistently empty SJP would damage the brand and therefore damage Ashley. It's all a pipe dream anyway, there's absolutely no chance that it would ever happen consistently with our fans or most fans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugoinufc Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Call me a fool/crazy/naive/idiot...and some did - when I said that we would sign at least 3 "quality" players in the final days of the window. Im am shocked - I know Ashley - but this is a far beyond my wildest dreams. Its a disgrace! Now we are left to support the players and Rafa and its wonderful when they win - but every they manage to do that it will be water on Fat bastards mill. Most of all I feel devastated because I let myself to believe that this time it would be different... Don´t know if im looking forward to hear from Rafa? Do I hope he will resign, I don´t know?
