SaintRichmond Posted 20 January, 2014 Share Posted 20 January, 2014 Obviously he had sense, but if he had built a giant new stadium despite attendance figures showing it will probably not fill, then it would have been a mistake. Moot point. You don'y know until you've done it But, years ago, Liverpool were not filling Anfield. Then along came Shankley, Titles, Trophys, and Support to match Speculate to accumalate ....

saint1977 Posted 20 January, 2014 Share Posted 20 January, 2014 I'd be pretty happy with that IMO. We don't have any debts like most PL clubs either and the academy intakes still look strong. We could spend £100 going for CL football and still not get it or be like Malaga who did and then the overseas sugar daddy cash supply ran dry for a bit and that really did turn into a near meltdown. Should be attractive for the squad too, if Shaw goes so be it, we'll bank the £30m and get 2 good LBs for that and let Fox go. Pleased with the potential appointment of John Williams too, just what we need right now as a club. Sorry, should have been £100m! Still, top 10 and trying to win the cups, hope we take the League Cup more seriously from now on, is still ambitious but realistic. It is for clubs like Newcastle who have a bigger fanbase and stadia. The skates would rip their arm off for something similar, not that they are an especially valid point for comparison these days staring down the barrell of the Skrill Premier. Everton have spent similar sums of money to us and are knocking on the door of the top 4 and if some of the top melt away without CL income regularly, we could end up competing higher up by being debt free and able to spend what we earn.

Guided Missile Posted 20 January, 2014 Share Posted 20 January, 2014 Tue, 03/23/2010 Mohamed Al Fayed says there's no chance of him selling up at Fulham. Al Fayed bought Fulham from Jimmy Hill when they were a faded club in the old Second Division, the current League One. “To own a club like Fulham, it has history, it is not just any club,” he told the Daily Express. “It is a London club that has a lot of prestige and a lot of value. I invested a lot of money just to bring it back. I was living in Fulham, next to the club. I sold that house and moved to Park Lane. I will not sell this club and move on. This is still a fantasy for me and an excitement, too. I have brought it from the bottom to the top. It all depends on the luck you have with a manager. Thank God I am blessed with this guy [Roy Hodgson]. He is human. He has a lot of charisma. From time to time I go to the training ground, talk to the players, see the manager, and I see how he works. Very impressive – the best manager I have ever had." Fri, 07/12/2013 Mohamed Al Fayed has ended his 16-year stint as Fulham owner by selling the club to Shahid Khan, owner of NFL side Jacksonville Jaguars.

alpine_saint Posted 20 January, 2014 Share Posted 20 January, 2014 At a meeting with staff today.

For what it is worth I think the club won't be spending ****loads but will still spend to keep on trying to improve the squad as it naturally evolves after the last 5 years and there is still plenty of growth to come from one of the youngest squads in the league.

Who knows, maybe she wants to have a break from the constraints of her somewhat reclusive upbringing and have some fun. Maybe she doesn't want to be considered ML's daughter who took over reluctantly and didn't want to carry on so flogged it off, but rather leave her own mark. Maybe this, maybe that, maybe t'other. Who knows (apart from those who impart their wisdom on the rest of us)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
