This extra £6m burning a hole in our pocket ........

[blade.i.am]

On blackjack and hookers?

. Get a lot of these for £6m

 

[Tezza1889]

I expect nothing to be given to the manager from these windfalls, we've heard all the usual excuses before, we will hear them again...

I'm not down on the club or team by the way, im loving it at the minute.. just dont get excited is all.. he wont get half of that money even if we shock everybody and are on the edge of the playoffs in january..

 

[Cerberus Blade]

Who would you buy to strengthen us? Lenihan £1.5, Hugill £2m, Leonard £550,000 or Diagouraga. Martinez £1m.

Just curious as to why you've inflated this figure to £6M? Walker has moved for a fee of £45M. We stand to get 10% of that, there or thereabouts. Move the decimal point to the left then and you get £4.5M, not £6M. You could be starting an urban myth here with these kind of maths....

Anyhow...

I'd definitely go for a young centre half (Lenihan appears to fit that bill well actually), an aggressive ball-winning midfielder, a wide player with lightning pace and a goalkeeper to challenge Moore for the first team jersey. What they would cost...who knows?

 

[Blade56]

It needn't burn any hole at all and it doesn't have to be spent just because it's there. If CW can't see the right players who 'fit' he won't spend for the sake of it.

YYYYYAAAAAWWWWWWNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN gerrit spent

Is that slightly racist?

 

[Newbury Blade]

of course "daft apeth" is a friendly greeting between 2 chaps.
whereas "pal" is forum speak for putting on a stone island coat and bouncing around on your toes waving em in, safe in the knowledge the 200 bobby's stood between you will ensure your white trainers will not get dirty.

'apporth – short for halfpennyworth

 

[robbiez666]

Pretty much sure that we're getting 10% of the profit, so that's 2 million gone already.

Has it been said anywhere that CW will get any of the money to spend? As it's not money he's generated I wouldn't be surprised if he sees none of it.

Everywhere I've read says 10% of the sell on fee, but knowing Tottenham's Chairman you could be right

One and a half million for harry maguire? Don't know if that is accurate but it would be taking tge total to around six million

 

[Ginger Gnome]

It's 10% of the profit. When Naughton went to Swansea he was sold at a loss so we got nothing, rather than 10% of what they paid. In the case of Walker, he was only valued at £2m in the sale to Spurs, so if they've sold him for £45m, that's a £43m profit, so £4.3m to us. We get at last £4m whatever happens though.

 

[Bladeinleeds]

Hope we use this bonus money properly now - this should be the boost we need to get a few signing over the line without losing any of our assets.

We can't have factored it in to our plans until it looked certain - even if we just spend 20% of it that should be enough to get us closer to the asking prices of the players we are after at worst.

At best it couple allow us to shop a level up and sign someone we would have had no chance of doing otherwise!

I'd rather steer clear of comparisons with the way Bournemouth "spend in ways that are relative to where they're having to compete" if I'm totally honest.

Though I do get the sentiment.

I didn't realise they went so overboard! The only way to stop that is to stop them getting promoted because the enormous gamble has basically worked for them and they are on a different stratosphere to us financially as a result.

Financial "fair play" then plays in to the hands of the relegated prem teams as their parachute payments give them a ridiculous advantage, probably akin to trebling our turnover.

 

[robbiez666]

btw, does anyone know if it's gross or net profit?

Whichever means they pay us less

The football authorities won't do anything major about overspending, managerial bungs or anything seedy for fear that it will tarnish the "brand" they've built.

 

[WhiteHawk]

3 hotdogs and a packet of Maltesers from Cineworld.

But you've only got £6m, you're going to have to put 2 of the hot dogs back.

They can't. It's been suggested that if financial fair play was challenged in the European courts it would be overturned. Is there any other industry where you can buy a business but you're limited in what you're allowed to invest? I think PSG were set to challenge it and Platini was talking about relaxing it because he knew PSG would win then the FIFA thing blew up and it seems to be in limbo.
I suspect they won't issue any big penalties for breaches because that would encourage a club to mount a legal challenge.

Then they should just admit it. They've never had a problem initiating action against smaller or lower league clubs without financial clout. McCabe showed them up for what they are, a spineless bunch when the shit hits the fan.

Couldn't agree more but they did introduce the benefactor model into SCMP which I thought was a good idea. It allowed owners to put money into the club but stopped them adding to the debt, even as 'soft loans'. Which I always thought should have been the aim of FFP; stop owners from putting a club's future in jeopardy Leeds-style.

I've always felt the 'financial doping' concept was a justification of the preservation of the status quo, protecting the traditional big clubs' places at the top table from the threat of new money gate crashers.

If they do well this coming season there could also be another big increase in revenue for the club if they chose to go down the Wendy route and give a big rise to ST prices .

They won't because a lot of people won't go. I won't pay Wendy prices, for example. I could but I won't.

 

[Cerberus Blade]

That would buy approximately half a Jordan Rhodes!

Jordes !
