Unabomber Posted 6 March 2014 Posted 6 March 2014 I swear someone on here was saying how Harry hasn't spent much while he's been there.
Mack Posted 6 March 2014 Posted 6 March 2014 I swear someone on here was saying how Harry hasn't spent much while he's been there. What I actually said is we dont know how much Redknapp spent compared to Hughes. Correct me if I am wrong but.... Andrew Johnson Signed by Hughes Julio Cesar Signed by Hughes Samba Diakite Signed by Hughes Robert Green Signed by Hughes a couple of weeks before then signing Cesar Stephane Mbia Signed by Hughes Park Ji-Sung Signed by Hughes Estaban Granero Signed by Hughes Junior Hoilett Signed by Hughes Jose Bosingwa Signed by Hughes Fabio signed by Hughes Ryan Nelsen signed by Hughes Christopher Samba Redknapp Loic Remy Redknapp Yun Suk-Young Redknapp Jermaine Jenas Redknapp Tal Ben Haim Redknapp Andros Townsend Redknapp I know a lot of people on here don't like Redknapp but as this shows Hughes spent a shit load of that money.
RonnieTodger Posted 6 March 2014 Posted 6 March 2014 Was all going so smoothly under Warnock and he kept the wages relatively under control. Moronic situation.

Guest MattP Posted 6 March 2014 Posted 6 March 2014 Why have you miss Austin, Kranjar, BAE, Miaga and Phillips off that list? All have cost serious money.
Corky Posted 6 March 2014 Posted 6 March 2014 Why have you miss Austin, Kranjar, BAE, Miaga and Phillips off that list? All have cost serious money. And Richard Dunne, who I doubt is on peanuts.

Whilst Hughes bought a higher quantity of players none were for a particularly substantial fee I believe whereas Redknapp spent £20 million on Samba and Remy and also a combined wage of about £200 grand a week. And that is before even saying that Tal Ben Haim and Yun Suk-Young were no where near premiership quality. Also I imagine he left out those signings as they were for the 2013-14 season?
Harry - LCFC Posted 7 March 2014 Posted 7 March 2014 Was all going so smoothly under Warnock and he kept the wages relatively under control. Moronic situation. This. He seems to have been forgotten amongst all this, I know they weren't going great in the league under him but I think there was some degree of sanity at the club while he was in charge. Although even he went for big names too much for my liking.
Leicesterpool Posted 7 March 2014 Posted 7 March 2014 How much as Mark Hughes spent combined with all the clubs he's managed?
davieG Posted 7 March 2014 Posted 7 March 2014 We'd be in the same boat if our loans hadn't been turned to equity so hardly something to be smug about, perhaps their owners will turn their debt into equity like ours have done although it could be too late for that.

Very true but we seem to have realised that throwing money around freely hasn't worked and are cutting back in terms of transfer fees and wages. It remains to be seen where QPR go from here, but given they've had several transfer windows of chucking cash around for a couple of years it doesn't seem like they are learning right now.

It remains to be seen where QPR go from here, but given they've had several transfer windows of chucking cash around for a couple of years it doesn't seem like they are learning right now. This is true. Cutting through all the figures in the accounts, the most fundamental measure of a financially stable football club is whether enough money is being brought in to pay the players' wages. For the 2011/12 season, Premier League clubs ran at an average Wages / Revenue ratio of 70% Championship clubs ran at an average Wages / Revenue ratio of 89% The figures below show what an utterly shocking position Leicester, QPR and Forest were in for the previous two seasons. If FFP has been the driver for LCFC to get their financial position into order (and consequently develop a more stable and successful team) then it has been a blessing in disguise. 2011/12 Season Wages Revenue Wages / Revenue League QPR 58.5 / 64 / 91% Prem Leicester 24.2 / 21.4 / 113% Champ Nottm Forest 17.6 / 14.7 / 120% Champ 2012/13 Season Wages Revenue Wages / Revenue League Leicester 23 / 19.6 / 117% Champ QPR 78 / 60.6 / 129% Prem Nottm Forest 21 / 14.4 / 146% Champ

And that is before even saying that Tal Ben Haim and Yun Suk-Young were no where near premiership quality. Hughes still destroyed them. Cesar is reported to be on £90,000, as is Bosingwa. Then look at other players he signed that will be on loads, such as Green (remember he left a solid West Ham side to go there *cough* money *cough*), Granero (signed from Real Madrid) and Park (signed from Manchester United).
