Mick Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 If I was told we had £20 million to spend and it would go anywhere I wanted then it would be spent on a top manager, we'd get more value for money if we appointed somebody who could get the best out of the players.

Guest Gemmill Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Nope. But I do see a fair amount of cash being spent so couldn't care less what goes on behind the scenes. I'm staggered tbh. You seem to talk sense most of the time. I would have thought that by now pretty much everyone would have realised that a decent transfer kitty pretty much goes without saying at a club like NUFC in the current football climate - lots of season ticket sales = disposable cash in the summer. In the grand scheme of things though, a decent transfer kitty means absolutley nothing when you're handing it to a sub-standard manager to bring players in for sub-standard coaching. All overseen by a sub-standard chairman. Providing cash for a manager to spend at a club like NUFC is the easiest thing in the world. It's in every other area of his job that Shepherd is failing - the areas that require thought and planning, like for instance the hiring and firing of the most important man at the club. It's not enough that he produces £20m every summer, and to say that it doesn't matter who's in charge as long as we have a transfer kitty every summer is just plain wrong thinking.
