Col city fan Posted 19 June 2012 Share Posted 19 June 2012 Toffee Fox on another thread has stated that the owners have said that even after Mills cuts will still have to be made.I fail to see how selling our better players like Konch etc will ensure a better position than 9th..To blame NP when this is being driven by the need to trim costs is unfair,but it does look depressing, I ask again, why do costs have to be 'trimmed' to such an extent? Even with FFP, I thought we had money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyFromLE Posted 19 June 2012 Share Posted 19 June 2012 Yes I am sorry Agree on the second point , but how can he learn to play a different way I just think playing to his advantages would be far beneficial would it not? Yeah same, we have to play to the whole team's strengths. If somebody doesn't fit in - then time to find somebody who does fit. Anyways, Konch shouldn't be sold!

Danno Posted 19 June 2012 Share Posted 19 June 2012 Beckford is on 40,000 a week, that kind of money to a championship club is crippling, even of how good he is still want him gone! No he's not stop making up figures. He is on 30K/week and Sharp wouldn't join us because he thought that he should be on more than Beckford.

LCFCstriker Posted 19 June 2012 Share Posted 19 June 2012 I ask again, why do costs have to be 'trimmed' to such an extent? Even with FFP, I thought we had money? We do have money.. But at the moment we have something like 50million debt to investors, and, when FFP comes in and you have debt after a certain time you will be fined for it... We need to reduce our arrears so that we are making a profit to start wiping that debt away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend_in_blue Posted 19 June 2012 Share Posted 19 June 2012 I'm surprised a prem club has supposedly shown interest. He's been ok, nothing more. But then this is QPR. If needs must I suppose. Would be a shame to lose him as he would need to be replaced ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowlattsFox Posted 19 June 2012 Share Posted 19 June 2012 As decent as Konchesky has been, and I mean decent (he was nothing more IMO) he is not somebody that is irreplaceable. If we got Nicky Shorey for example then I don't think we've done too bad out it. I'm going to criticise Pearson for selling anyone at this moment in time, you need to assess the transfer dealings when the season begins. Then we can see whether players have replaced or not. It's clear that Pearson doesn't want to sign players until he has sold some, whether that is because of cost or just simply because he doesn't want to be stuck with these players after he's already brought new ones. Which is sensible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakemoore Posted 19 June 2012 Share Posted 19 June 2012 I wouldn't sell him for any less than 2 million tbh, he was our best out field player last season IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dog_4 Posted 19 June 2012 Share Posted 19 June 2012 just a tidy player without the affiliation we had for bruno berner. Who was tidy and has good when nigel was here. Get rid, no loss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Prussian Posted 19 June 2012 Share Posted 19 June 2012 One of the more outstanding players last season. If we'd sell him, I think it'd be a great loss to the club. Always put in 110%, doesn't seem to be complaining when things aren't going the right way. A true professional and an example to everybody else (alongside Nugent and, to a lesser extent, Schmeichel).

Ross 'LCFC' Turner Posted 20 June 2012 Share Posted 20 June 2012 Hughes has already signed Andy Johnson and is linked with Konch & Steven Ireland. Maybe he just wants a bald XI? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan LCFC Posted 20 June 2012 Share Posted 20 June 2012 Another decision that will prove very unpopular amongst the support if so, I am a Konchesky fan but... As good as he is, there's no denying the fact he was almost ever-present in a pretty shoddy defence, I'm not blaming him but maybe there are little things he does that go un-noticed by us and noticed by Pearson, that do cost us. Not that I'm criticising him, going forward he's excellent, and I'm not saying he's bad defensively but you can't rule out him making unspotted mistakes every now and then. Add to that you've got him on at least £20k a week (don't try and tell me "U DNT NO THA FIGURZZZ M8" because there's simply no way he's on less), he's 31/32, I don't know, I'd be disappointed to see him go a lot more than Bamba, Mills or Peltier but if we can line up a younger replacement on less money who is good at this level (Pearson is more than capable of landing us this) then maybe it's for the best. Would be a shame though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to reduce our arrears so that we are making a profit to start wiping that debt away. Sorry we don't have money and the sooner people realise this the better. We have owners that are happy to lend us money @ 8% intrest. They are not giving it to us just lending it as a bank would for financial gain. That is what the FFP is set up to stop so clubs like us don't join pompey. We have nothing and if Top n co walk tomorrow we are finished. Unless someone serriously rich comes in and happy to wave good bye 2 about 100Mill. Why do you think the game plan is to hit the prem ASAP and once we do this long hall stay may then be short term n sell. They would then get top dollar for us plus be getting 8% on the loans. Also the 8% they charge the club means once paid back they got the club for nxt to nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
