Warnock to owners: show me the money..Guardian Article

[qprjames]

Brilliant! Mackie goes off on a stretcher and we have no money to spend. This season could fall to pieces if the owners don't give Warnock some money.

You don't buy players from the premiership for 2-3 million whilst you are in the championship. Wages would be enormous

What division are Spurs in? Where did Taarabt come from?

Who said from the Prem? Where did Cox come from? Who does Austin play for? How much did Connolly cost - from the Prem? How much did Taarabt cost and from who....blah, blah

lol dont expect Pete to reply

Would imagine those are the kind of players we would get !!

Not as some suggest, lets spend for the sake of it.

Quite happy to get players like you mention and think we will

[Hoopaman]

It would all be very boring if we all thought the same. The thing is we all do think the same in regards to strengthening to push on to the prem. The only person being controversial is Pete. The owner of the board... Hmm...

[moon_safari]

find this hard to swallow as been told he will be spending.
so we will see

Money's not everything.

Wayne Routledge cost more to acquire and no doubt considerably more to keep than Chris Day.

It is simple.

The value to the board of gaining promotion to the Premier League in TV money, prize money, increased value of their shares/increased value of the players etc must be £50M-£100M plus. Against this a continuing loss of £5-£10M a year from staying in the Championship.

The board are extremely successful businessmen and have massive egos. Nobody likes looking a mug, and you would look a mug if you pi$sed £5M-£10M a year into an unsuccessful football club you had bought with the sole intent of getting it promoted.

In F1 Ecclestone is a very shrewd operator and if it suits his purpose he will say one thing and do the complete opposite. Watch what he does, not what he says. He recently bought a controlling interest in QPR.

Our current bookie odds for gaining promotion are 3/1 on. So around three chances in every four of going up, they say.

Put all this together and you would have to be very gullible to believe a newspaper article that implied that NW will not get the resources he asks for this transfer window.

Maybe for £5M, on a 1/3 chance, the owners stand to win £50M-£100M. It is punt. Nothing in football is ever certain, but for them it is a punt at massively advantageous odds. To not back the manager and snatch defeat from the jaws of victory would be too silly for words, so it won't happen.

I think I am about done with this board now. It seems we now have a throng who say they have total faith in Warnock which stretches to the fact that when he says again and again that he has no funds or intent to buy anyone they interpret it to mean he has funds and is somehow being clever. FFS. He said no cash he said no buys. If there is a coded message it is directed at fans to stop them thinking the cavalry is coming. To think otherwise people are naive , stupid or on the payroll.

[Rebel R's]

Our miserly owners don't need to spend millions but ffs back the best manager we have had in years

[stanley75]

Couldn't agree more mate. This is a no brainer investment, even if they took a short term view and looked to sell in the Prem next year.

I have no idea who you are but I agree with you 100%, that is spot on!
