Spend Spend Spend before its too late!

Isnt this the last chance to spend beyond our means, i think i read somewhere that as from next season teams in the championship can only spend a percentage of their income, dont know if that is just gate money or transfer fees received but whatever it is it will affect us.

Does anyone know anymore about this new rule and its implications ? Surely if its coming into force then this maybe our last chance to buy big!

It's not what you spend, it's what you spend it on.

We have already tried that and it don't fvcking work.

We need to buy decent players who want to earn their money

We don't need to spend spend spend all we need a pacey right winger and a half decent cm

I can see us getting a panic buy on deadline day. Some 2nd rate player who ain't played in 3 years. fvck sake

From what I understand its a percentage of revenue, so slap a massive sponsor on the stadium which we have done and then that will count into it, same as man city have done! Don't shoot me down if I'm incorrect but that was my understanding

I can't believe that people still consider the way out of this mess, indeed, the way to succeed at all is simply about spending money.

It's great to have money to spend, but if not used wisely, it's simply wasted.

With the benefit of that thing called hindsight, it has become clear to anyone who is willing to see, that Sven spent a lot of money on very average players.

Whatever any excuses anyone wants to make, the likes of Matt Mills, Neil Danns and particularly Beckford have not improved the previous squad of players in a sensible and meaningful way.

Even Peltier has been shown to be defensively suspect time and time again and is NOT the player everyone thought he was. IMO he is not a patch on Kyle Naughton.

I think Sven should have sat down with his coaching team and thoroughly analysed the areas where the squad was at its weakest.

For me, this was in midfield and up front. I would not have replaced Hobbs with Mills, would have definitely looked for a creative midfield player and a rough and tough midfield ball winner who I would have immediately made captain.

However, as I said, this is with the benefit of hindsight which is a wonderful thing. The point I'm making is that we have spent big already.

Let's now think about creating a team working for each other, of hungry talent, rather than a bunch of misfits... We do not have to spend big to do this, instead utilise the scouting mechanism to its best and actually have a real gameplan.

The Thai owners have done the best they can in the circumstances. They've put their money where their mouth is and financially backed whoever the manager has been. Realistically, not many chairman, albeit successful businessmen, are very experienced when it comes to running a football club and have to rely on an assembled team including a decent manager to advise them accordingly. This is where they perhaps went a little astray when they appointed the serial underachiever Sven who was a name they would have known and someone who they probably thought they could have trusted. Undoubtedly there were sound business interests/ambitions in trying to get LCFC promoted asap but I don't see anything wrong in that at all. Overall the owners have on the surface acted honourably compared with MM of whom we always had our doubts. I don't think they are about to run off but it must be galling to finance your manager (Sven) more than any other team in the division only to find that he has spent the money unwisely and then given a bunch of very mediocre players long expensive contracts that could leave the club with large financial commitments for years to come. If I was them I would want to scrutinise every player a future manager wants to purchase very closely. Financially it doesn't make sense to buy big in the January sales if there isn't much quality there. A spend, spend, spend attitude is very easy when it's not your own money.

No, spend as wisely as possible. Invest in some decent players who aren't on big wages and who want to be be here. Players who will put in 100% for the club and us, the fans. Bring in some pretty cheap young midfielders who will grow into better players, hopefully with the scouting team we have, its possible.

Very funny, I don't think. Open your eyes.

[cc_star]

You have to improve on what's already here & get players out else what's the point

Spend, spend, spend is what sowed the seeds of this mess
