with jimmy blades ramble

 

[Paisley Blade]

Sorry, I'm washing my hair.

 

[Davalon]

Sorry, I'm washing my hair.

You're missing a douzy. Or is it a Dozy

New board to be announced in time for the next financial year.

Jimmy, Nick, and Dazza all taking up non-executive roles.

 

[Gin&Juice]

Rimmy

 

[tazzy]

Think the prince was spot on regarding berge and illy to sell them rather than both walk away for free and the money invested in harmer for 4 years from the berge sale

 

[Rodley]

Can only imagine it’s prime Paxman.

 

[Harry's Game]

I am waiting for the film rights to be sold..This could rival Frost / Nixon

Jimmy to be played by Bradley Walsh and HRH by Ted Robbins.

 

[Gaini Blade]

Sorry, I'm washing my hair.

Do mine while you're at it will you?

 

[ancientblade]

ive no problem with abdullah for selling both nidaye and berge they both made it clear they wanted to go the problem ive got with him is not investing at least double the miserly 30m he allowed hecky to have for squad improvement gave us absolute zero chance of any chance of survival in the premier league waste of time getting promoted in the first place if your not going to have a crack at it

 

[Berkshire Blade]

"anything we spend in January we have to recoup in the Summer"

Sounds like a mighty war chest in January and the summer then

Yikes.

I read on here last month we wasn't spending anything.

 

[UddersBlade]

Why is anyone surprised? The Prince cannot afford either a Premier League club or a Championship club. Any money we spend we have to recoup …. ie. self sufficient…. He has told us that before.

Also I suspect that any parachute money has already been mortgaged - so hence no new money without selling first. I hope I’m wrong, but that is my interpretation of what has been said.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Seeing as how we don't have many sellable assets that still stands...

Can't say I am surprised by anything he's said other than they have only recently employed a firm to manage the sale of the club... It's common practice from the little I have read on club sales so for us to only just do that maybe explains why only Dozy bid last year!

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

I doubt we will spend massive amounts but i think they'll be a budget CW is happy with. He also wants PL experience so they won't be cheap deals like in summer.

 

[Booker4]

Just finished watching the video. I know some think Jimmy is just a mouth piece for the Prince but I think from part one he asked decent questions. If you ask him a spicy question such as was Wilder lined up to replace Hecky from the beginning of the season as reported by the media I suspect the Prince would just waffle his way around the question because he does that at times in my view, but I thought he answered the questions pretty well to be fair.

It sounded more promising on the upgrade to a cat one academy and we know the hotel is on the way again. Also pleased to hear we're still going up bring in new players in January. So overall I'm more optimistic on the prospects post that interview. I do wish Jimmy had just posted it as one video rather than in seperate parts but that's his preogrative.

I don’t think self sufficiency is realistic. People laugh at Preston continually finishing around tenth in the championship. But they lose millions being the most sensible adult in the room.

McCabe’s stab at self sufficiency drove us into the lower reaches of L1.

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

Surprised it was only 26m in incoming transfer fees..(Berge and Ndiaye)

 

[WF10BLADE]

I can't be arsed to listen to more bullshit and who on earth is Jim ramble?

 

[Rodley]

Fucks sake.

 

[TJ blade]

I don't believe a fucking word the owner says he's a bullshitter!!

 

[Brewster Cost Millions]

found it interesting when PA says summat along the lines of i want paul to come to LA to my gaff is hecky coming back as youth coach again.

 

[Blade58]

Where’s part 2?

 

[8lade]

"anything we spend in January we have to recoup in the Summer"

Sounds like a mighty war chest in January and the summer then

So we're going down then? Otherwise it wouldn't be an issue.

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

I like PA comments on the Berge situation. 100% was the correct decision.

 

[steve26272]

problem ive got with him is not investing at least double the miserly 30m

What, invest money he hasn’t got?
Or take a loan out against the club?
Or tell the fans to have a whip round?

Fact is the club has to be self sufficient as he can’t afford to fund us

In 2013 when he bought us, in the EPL these transfers happened
Arnautovic - Stoke £2.8m
Parker - Fulham £4.3m
Erickson- spurs £14m
Shelvey- Swansea £5.8m
Carroll - West Ham £17.5m
Lovren - s’hampton £10m
Mignolet - lpl £10m
Downing - lpl £5.8m
8 players for Total of £70m

Or in todays money….. 1 Szoboszlal, who in fairness looks decent, but I’d not heard of him before liverpool took him in

Point is the landscape has changed, Prince has £150m net worth, he can’t afford to keep us in the manner we require to establish ourselves as an EPL club

Until a very rich man comes along, this is the gig

Millwall, Preston, Cardiff. All £12m+ a season owner input.

With this owner, "sustainable" = Commercial revenue (£10-15m) + TV money (£8m ish in the Championship) + player sales as a budget

 

[Rodley]

I like PA comments on the Berge situation. 100% was the correct decision.

Rodley reaction when the Board comments on outgoing players

 

[Bartleby]

Unless I missed it, it wasn't mentioned when that was recorded, but he seemed to be still behind Wilder as far as I could tell (in light of all the El Accounto stuff earlier)
