Deleted thread?! Why censor debate?

Terry Ball deducted the fee from Routledge, which reduces annual to 8.5 million expenditure. You'll right we are just summarising, we probably have more than 7,000 season ticket holders for example.

It sounds like you are defending Flavio?/ Fair play, not many have.

I used to think The Flav was doing his best and only changed my view recently.

Think we cannot dispute the loans recently, but I would put that do not having a spending budget??

Reality is, we've tried to reach the dizzy heights of premiership with 13,000 crowds, without spending millions.

I'd say the only person to hold the players budget on whats available was Flavio, but you can come back at me, if you think I am wrong.

I do want t put on record that Flavio did rescue this club from the proverbials and we are lucky now to have the Mittals on board, much of that down to him in the first place

Routledge 8.5m? how did you come to that?

You have not included sponsorships merchandise etc, I have not included agents fees, termination of contracts, bonuse, ground improvements.

For someone who was defending our lack of spending and the sale of routledge, you have soon changed your tune.

Some cynics would suggest you are defending GP again

That's the whole point of this thread. Put the blame for poor old Paladini's appalling signings on nasty old Briatore for not providing enough money. If that was the case, then Paladini should have had the decency to resign, stating that he wasn't being given the required resources, thus telling the fans what was going on. The fact is he didn't, and was happy to carry on buying cheap crap players and putting them on big money, or getting in rubbish loan players and paying their inflated wages.

Pete loans do cost money too. Clubs don't give you players for nothing e.g blackstock to forest loan last season for 400k.

Suspect we've paid a fair whack for Simpson and taarabt even before we contribute to or pay all the players wages.

And they're just two of the many loanees this term.

So 10-11 million a year is alot of money in the context of running a football club??

Sell Routledge for one of those years, thats 8.5 million?

Would presume wages are paid by the shareholders (could be wrong there, but would suspect they all do/did)??

To avoid argument say he pays the lot 8 million

Lets say alone on season tickets minimum 7,000 paying £500 (average), thats

3.5 million??

On a yearly basis taking those figures into account, no I don't thnk its alot. I'm not counting on all the other stuff like sponsors, mechandise, c.club etc etc

I very rarely post on any site anymore but I have to say that after what happened on this site (amongst others) regarding Paulo Sousa's dismissal, I find it absolutly disgusting that the admin can get away with divulging sensitive information such as all the figures of the fee's that at least one of the football clubs involved requested to stay undisclosed.

As Stu has mentioned in another thread, that is a serious confidentiality breach and, if true (which I somehow doubt looking at some of those figures), should be investigated.

Terry Ball, I suspect you are right on the wage front.

We are in London and when you get loans you are saving on signing on fees, but probably paying higher wages, considering most of loans come from the premiership

Right....we are getting there....slowly

So obviously flabio has spent money then. Maybe not on signing on fees, but on wages. If the average wage bill at the club is 7k a week,(probably more than that) thats say 30k a month per player. 30 players equals 900,000 a month. over 2 1/2 years that works at £27m

Pete, your an inteligent bloke. I know you can see where i'm and others are coming from, Flav has spent alot of money.

£27m mate on wages....At least

One was in the summer and the other in the winter

Ramage was in 2008 and Heider in 2009 so I am not sure how this really counters my point?

Pete, I've always believed the clubs policy was to recruit players cheap and pay them top dollar on the wage front. I'm also sure we are one of the top 3 clubs in the division with the highest wage bill.
