EBS1980 Posted 17 August, 2012 Share Posted 17 August, 2012 Still think our progression with this deal will just force the bigger boys to make their move and sign him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 17 August, 2012 Share Posted 17 August, 2012 lol yes, all of a sudden I dont mind paying £1 Seriously, we're getting about £40m prize money (£60m for coming last from next year), yet we persist with trivial fan-annoying measures like admin fees and parking charges for more than 15 minutes. That's the bit that drives me mental, there's no logic to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 17 August, 2012 Share Posted 17 August, 2012 I was commuting to Aberdeen at the time and was there that night. You're still wrong though. The "Michael Fish no hurricane" storm was not 1986, as indicated by this YouTube video entitled "BBC weather blooper by Michael Fish storm of 1987".

That's the bit that drives me mental, there's no logic to it. Read Simon Jordon's book whilst on hols. Whilst he is a grade a cock, it was a real eye opener with regards to where all this premier league money goes. A large portion of that £40m will go to our current players and their agents. Then the new player we bring in will take a large chunk. All of this has to be paid BEFORE we get the first large chink of that cash. So I would not be expecting any cuts to any fees to the supporters just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I would not be expecting any cuts to any fees to the supporters just yet. This is not news. We do however have the backing of a legacy worth £2.5bn which would make cash flow for this sort of thing a little easier. All the talk of sustainability has been utter nonsense since day one, and we've always been happy to splash on players to motor us through the divisions. I had assumed the end goal might be sustainability from 2013/14s Prem prize money, but it looks like we actually are considering a tilt on Europe. Better buy some centre backs, goalkeeper, left back, defensive midfielder and another striker soon though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
