As Mowgli said - most definitely; and it was the fact that there was "no evidence that this was the case" that caused Kat to intervene. Staplewood costs were escalating and a couple of large but unsuccessful signings perhaps reinforced her case

When Markus took over the club it was explicitly stated that the aim was to make the club self financing. Kat is only carrying on her father's wishes. I suspect that, financially, Kat can stagger by without the profits from SFC so we can confidently expect them to be ploughed back into the club. What you won't see is the board hurling money that they have not got (as a business) at overpaid, overhyped players or managers.

To be exact they are his fivers now

What did you make of Pochettino before he was appointed?

Somebody who knows nothing - just a guess

Somebody who knows nothing - just a guess

He is only a "meh" player in your opinion. I would suggest that our "Black Box" has a lot of info to base a decision on.

If you want to have a panic attack - feel free!

Add me to this

I only wish more people had such courage!

I think that, broadly speaking, you are right. Its just that we get the same old posts from the "Woe is us" brigade saying much the same as they have always said going back to the year dot. Of course, one year they might be right but Hey Ho.

Of course your approach of a never-ending flow of negativity is much better. Let's not lose track of how bad things are.

Les Reed was appointed as Director of Football back in the Cortese days. Since then Cortese has gone, Pardew, Adkins (unfairly), Pochettino and now possibley Koeman has gone; a significant number of "crucial" players have gone. But in that time we have moved from League 1 to 6th in the Premiership. How exactly is Les Reed part of the problem?

Personally I think that he is wrong on the 5th "I'm right"

Hopefully you'll improve.

I would imagine that any Bournemouth Fan reading this would think that some Saints fans are right up their own @rses. Never mind that there is no shred of evidence that the quoted foreign managers would be successful in the premier league while the derided Eddie Howe has a proven track record of improving the players in his charge. Given our dispensation to recruit relative unknowns and wish to use Academy players one would imagine that Howe was well qualified. Mind you Leicester had a small club mentality recruiting a proven failure as a manager in the Premier league and look what happened to them, You are right we should heed the warning.

Oh! You are awful

You need to rearrange those letters a bit - and maybe change the c to an S

But they have Dembeli now so much less need of VW.

I'm not at all clear as to how you arrived at that?

I appreciate what you are saying but given the way that transfer fees are structured I would guess that we have not received anything like £16m yet and with the progress he is making I doubt that we ever will.

Good grief - you are cheerful soul aren't you. I'll bet you posted something similar 2 years ago.
