Welcome three points. Seems like the players and fans don't believe in the system / shape. It will be the entertainment value rather than the results that kill Puel.

As has been stated many times from the executive team, the club has to be self funding. When Cortese left the club, there was significant debt, which Katrina, restructured against her own estate. That has to be paid back - Which we probably have or are close to by now. The budgets will come from Ralph & Rodgers. Les will work within those budgets.

What ever you think of Les Reed, do you seriously- No seriously think that the Director of football dictates the budgets?

LMFAO - You were in fact trying to correct what you thought was a spelling mistake ..... On a football forum ( Lets not go into what you were saying was wrong about Fonte- as posted on here by many others) ......so back to the spelling The Oxford English Dictionary defines both publically and publicly in the same way, i.e. as the adverb for 'public'. They are simply alternate spellings. https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20081113001235AAhO2kd I feel sad and soiled that I even googled that to post on a football forum. In fact I would say I feel publically humiliated :lol:

you win; Fonte has publicity mocked the fact we were offering him 80k. ARE YOU SURE :lol::lol:

Well pal - it's publically not publicity :scared::scared: And the quotes on here from his social media accounts, purporting to be him have him saying the increase offered according to the press (Not new contract) was not 80k which anyone would be mad to turn down. He might just want the publicity

Are you sure

P!ssing in the wind as normal. Please please please do some ******* homework, research, reading whatever before you spout off. Based on their league finish and Champions League money alone, that gives them an extra 300k per week for wages more than we can spend - based on comparable attendances and corporate entertainment revenue (I'm sure Leicester will be much higher than us on Corporate, especially after last year) and 70% of turnover allowed towards FFP. Fonte has publically mocked the fact that we were offering him 80k, suggesting it was nowhere near that amount. 300k a week difference means we can't compete. You are now on drying up duty.

Delighted for Sam and his family.... But also delighted for Saints. Great signing. I personally have Sam over Matt Target at the moment. will be interesting to see what happens next time Bertand is out.

Total nonsense, Can you really embarrass yourself even more on this thread? You had the criteria , you mocked it and were then challenged and challenged to provide a comparable example. You didn't and can't and you resort to this. Give up cooking - move on to washing up.

Yes definitely at the end. I could have sworn we won 2-1 in the end, But Horne's goal forced extra time and we went on to win 3 -2 FFS Tim Flowers :) :)

Delldays - You are thick as a plank - Negative spends have nothing to do with the FFP.

NO.... with their Champions league revenue, we cant get close.

No lets not. Lets agree that I posted a criteria that was unrivaled in world football and you mocked me, but were then unable to come close to another team in the World that has matched us. Let's agree that you are a bit of kn0b, that doesn't actually go to many matches but has lots of opinions that amount to nothing. So much so that you had had to change your user name and then spend 3 months denying it, until you had to come clean.

And the comparable example is ?? :lol::lol:

Forum joke as you well know. You have the criteria - The one you mocked , now give me a comparable example......................

Stick to cooking ........what on earth are you on about. Seven higher year on year finishes, build out the club infrastructure, qualify for Europe twice and repay the debt (Yes debt) that the club is in, to ultimately achieve this as completely self funded project, whilst at the same time build a squad worth 200 million. As mentioned before, simply incredible and unbelievable and probably unrivaled anywhere in the world.

Ah that will be the ones fighting a relegation battle according to their manager, Let me make it simple for you..... I've posted the criteria twice, but I understand you might not have grasped it yet, so lets try a third time; Seven higher year on year finishes, build out the club infrastructure, qualify for Europe twice and repay the debt (Yes debt) that the club is in, to ultimately achieve this as completely self funded project, whilst at the same time build a squad worth 200 million. As mentioned before, simply incredible and unbelievable and probably unrivaled anywhere in the world. Over to you........... and the cook.

Really ..... so should be very easy for you to give me a comparable example.................Over to you.

Give me a comparable example ..................

Nothing better than watching your club have seven successive seasons (Since the owners took over) of higher year on year finishes, build out the club infrastructure, qualify for Europe twice and repay the debt (Yes debt) that the club is in, to ultimately achieve this as completely self funded project, whilst at the same time build a squad worth 200 million. As mentioned before, simply incredible and unbelievable and probably unrivaled anywhere in the world. I'm with you all the way Saint Billy :lol::lol:

Been mentioned on here a fair few times over the years (Mostly by me) as one of the best goals seen live - But with no footage... Until now. I have searched for this goal for years (Just to see if it was as a good as I remembered (It is) and it seems that within the last 12 months someone has finally put it up on You Tube. The goal earned us a replay - Which we of course mucked up .... Steve Headband Foster. So one for the oldies.... Enjoy.

That's Mine as well

Thanks for that - Much appreciated. Feel a bit guilty I wasn't aware of him. What I do know is that it is all about taking your chances when they come - I think it is fair to say that Sam and Josh have both done that - Buzzing.
