DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 1 July 2014 Posted 1 July 2014 No, because I'm right here. Managers clearly have a say in signing players. Who the hell said they didn't have a say? Go away! You're giving me a headache.
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 1 July 2014 Posted 1 July 2014 Neville said this not me . "Now we have the extra bit added as well, player acquisitions. "It is arguably one of the key things that happen at a football club. "If you get your acquisitions right you should be successful. Get them wrong and you won't be successful, and it will end up costing you quite a lot of money. "That is what we are trying to focus on now, to get the right acquisitions to help make us successful next season." Although City have yet to make a new signing, Neville said there had been a lot of hard work done to identify targets and open negotiations, and said his efforts should soon bear fruit. and his efforts bore to fruit alright didn't they ! Oh my God. What, for crying out loud, is all this about? Mumbo jumbo to me mate.
Babylon Posted 1 July 2014 Posted 1 July 2014 Oh my God. What, for crying out loud, is all this about? Mumbo jumbo to me mate. Dangerous, meet James Milner... in fact I'm starting to think he's behind Boring James Milner on Twitter.
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 1 July 2014 Posted 1 July 2014 to the thick twats on this thread it would have been andrew neville who would have agreed st ledgers wages not sven just like the other signings that season so get that into your ****ing heads . do you lot think nigel pearson tells players who he signs the amount of money they will be on Someone clearly shat in buzzy's bran flakes on the 29th.
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 2 July 2014 Posted 2 July 2014 From who then? I can't wait to hear this. Honestly, who is better qualified than the manager, who oversees the entire footballing side of the club, to give advice on how much a player is worth in terms of transfer fees, or wages, or in terms of a new contract? Of course the manager is involved! I'm not saying that the manager says 'pay him x amount', but they will almost certainly advise and consult with the money men on how much to pay a certain player as they have a much, much better idea of value than some suit in the boardroom. How does someone like Andrew Neville decide what someone like Riyad Mahrez is worth? Or Aleksander Tunchev? These are players he's probably never even heard of before the manager suggests them. Who has more idea of their value? The bloke who probably has to Google them to find out who they are, or the manager whose scouting team have been watching the player for months? How does someone like Andrew Neville have enough knowledge of the changing room mood to know if a big money signing will damage morale? He doesn't. The manager does. And if the manager plays no role whatsoever in how much we pay for players, or what contracts they are given, how on earth do you explain the seismic shift in financial policy that happened almost immediately after Sven left and Pearson rejoined? Why did we suddenly go from paying astronomical amounts for average players to making considered, value-for-money signings? Do you honestly think it's just a coincidence that when we had a manager renowned for spending absolute fortunes in charge we spent an absolute fortune, yet when a frugal, careful manager comes in we adopt a frugal, careful financial policy? There's none so blind as those who refuse to see. Sorry to hear you're blind, geezer.

Babylon Posted 2 July 2014 Posted 2 July 2014 Sorry, but I don't do twitter. Could you not expand that to the internet in general?
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 2 July 2014 Posted 2 July 2014 Could you not expand that to the internet in general? Sorry, but no can do. Foxestalk needs me too much. Just imagine how dull it would be without me!
