Captain... Posted 30 August 2012 Share Posted 30 August 2012 I assumed that the where is are (sic) ambition comment was meant ironically. If so then can I kindly ask all posters to make sure their ironic quips are followed by a smiley, a winky, a ph3ar, or a whistley one. There are so many people posting utter drivel it would make my subtle irony filter is broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCFC_FAN_1995 Posted 30 August 2012 Share Posted 30 August 2012 Knockaert was aparently £2.2m accoring to Chris Kamara in the sun when he did all the predictions, we spent £5m and sold players for all around £3.5m ish, this was few weeks back though, i can't fully remember Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonaldinho Posted 30 August 2012 Share Posted 30 August 2012 No you are right, i'm sure he's sat with £20m in his pocket saying it's better there than spent on the team and saving his job. Well done on hugely twisting out of proportion the point I was making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carter The Boss Posted 30 August 2012 Share Posted 30 August 2012 We are supposed to be the big spenders of the division and Blackburn have showed they mean business by paying out 8 million on Rhodes. Where is our ambition? We are spending little money on unknown players eg. 1 million on Matty James 1 million on De Lat, 1 million + on Vardy Free - Whitebread Knockout - Undisclosed Futacs - Free Where is are ambition? Point 1: Grammar Police: Its OUR not ARE ambition Point 2 We don't have £8m, and if we did we wouldn't / shouldn't spend it on one player. Blackburn are doing what we did last year, gambling on success. If they spend big, they will go straight back up. We did it and we failed, and now, although we do have more money than most in the league, we won't continue to gamble which is why we sign cheaper players on lower wages than those we had last year. It's not a lack of ambition, its financial realism. Had we gone up last year it would have been a different story, but we didn't, and we have to operate within a more reasonable budget, Dry your eyes, get over it, and support whoever it is that pulls the shirt on.

Yojoe36 Posted 30 August 2012 Share Posted 30 August 2012 Bollocks. Spending retaded amounts of money has done jack shit for us. Mills and Akinbiyi are the creme de la creme of shit money signings. Best stick to signing nobodies for 1m or less Muzzy Izzet is a prime example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan LCFC Posted 30 August 2012 Share Posted 30 August 2012 Don't worry, all the bandwagoning ****** who can't think for themselves will still slam us for buying the league even though we've re-couped as much as we've spent.

No wonder he's laughing! quite a lie Sven was on a £3m 2 year contract... Waste of money was in a) signing that deal b) paying it off Not to mention giving the clown enough money to blow it on a load of players on Premiership wages in a seemingly 2 season gamble to go up (remember some mysterious backers pulled out even after just the first season where we didn't go up, or even get in the top 6) Secondly we needed a manager, and we approached one under contract... but I can promise you he is NOT on £2m a year... you are either mistaken or more likely lying just to get your pathetic agenda across Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seriously hate so many neutrals, such idiots who jump on the bandwagon. You're only looking at actual fees... I doubt we've recovered one of the largest amounts in the whole country, never-mind division that we've blown on agents fees It's unlikely that even with the resale, we've managed to get out of signing fees paid to the player & loyalty bonuses through them departing for reasons not of their own choosing eg. them not instigating the move and what about wages which enabled us to sign some of them ahead of some Premier league clubs, some of them will be huge So regardless of what it looks like we've got back, whether we made a loss or not, it's unlikely we've covered everything we've blown on them... and that's not to mention extended, improved contacts given to Gally, Wellens, Howard & others by the former manager.

You raise fair points, I just think it's ridiculously unfair to still call us the big-spenders when we're if anything doing our best to not spend too much and we're actually being pretty cautious. Bear in mind with re-couping money, you're getting players like Mills, Bamba, Peltier, Vassell etc.. all off the wage bill, I bet the new players are all on less than they were.

Aye, we ought to bring back Sven, double what we were paying Pearson and give it to him to blow absolutely ridiculous money on mediocre shite who are 100% money motivated. That'll sure send us out this league, back to League fvcking One. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jace Posted 30 August 2012 Share Posted 30 August 2012 So today on Foxestalk I've seen speculation on Sven returning as he has been spotted in Bangkok and now criticism of the club for not spending big enough. Wow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deep blue Posted 30 August 2012 Share Posted 30 August 2012 Still playing the blame sven card? Nearly a year later? Seriously? The fact that we're a year on doesn't change the facts of what Sven did wrong, nor does it mitigate the negative effects it's still having on us.

Col city fan Posted 30 August 2012 Share Posted 30 August 2012 Still playing the blame sven card? Nearly a year later? Seriously? Oh yes... Svens nonsense has had a major impact on this football club and may well continue to do so for some time. The money he spent on some of the crap he signed is bewildering. Both in terms of transfer fees and wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
