MooseBreath Posted 28 February 2015 Posted 28 February 2015 I got the feeling that the transfer budget was effectively unlimited, but with the caveat that any contracts handed out wouldn't jeopardise the long term future of the club, which is pretty sensible stuff. I think Pearson has been allowed to bring in anyone he wants and can get within that framework. Certainly smashing the transfer record twice doesn't suggest that the club aren't willing to invest in players. I can see that kind of thing happening more and more though. A small club like Burnley would be set up for a decade after one season in the prem. If they've got nobody willing to dip into their own pockets to fund investment in players than you can hardly blame a club for considering their long term future over short term premier league survival.
Sol thewall Bamba Posted 28 February 2015 Posted 28 February 2015 Ridiculous? I've heard heard worse theories like a while back, before MON, a certain chairman said he didn't want us to get promoted ! Do you honestly think the owners want us to get relegated with their global brand plastered all over the place on our kit and stadium? Yes, you are being ridiculous.
Raw Dykes Posted 28 February 2015 Posted 28 February 2015 ****ing hell! One of the most ridiculous things I've seen on here. Do you seriously think the parachute payments are worth more than another season in the Premier league?
tom27111 Posted 28 February 2015 Posted 28 February 2015 It has been suggested that the club are only interested in making money and writing off debts this season and don't really want to stay in the Premier league, and will be looking forward the parachute payment,can't be true surely ? Has anyone heard anything similar? You f***ing idiot. Nothing else needs saying. Close thread.
Richmondfox Posted 28 February 2015 Posted 28 February 2015 I've not heard anything similar as my friends aren't idiots. I'm guessing you are being a WUM as surely no one could believe that and then post it on the message board, if you do then I hope you don't work with the public.
gazzer Posted 28 February 2015 Posted 28 February 2015 madge was so shocked when she found out she fell off the stage
Matt Posted 28 February 2015 Posted 28 February 2015 Its only what I've heard you imbecile. TBF did you not have a little think or consider the theory before posting?
Larry_LCFC Posted 28 February 2015 Posted 28 February 2015 By who? Isnt it obvious? Harwich fox ofcourse derrrr!
One Legged Beaver Posted 28 February 2015 Posted 28 February 2015 Pretty sure parachute payments are less than what you'd get if you stayed in the league?
EnderbyFox Posted 28 February 2015 Posted 28 February 2015 One of the most rediculous things I've ever seen on here and that's saying something. Definitely up there with Kermo was decent
gazzer Posted 28 February 2015 Posted 28 February 2015 “The CIA’s campaign to popularize the term ‘conspiracy theory’ and make conspiracy belief a target of ridicule and hostility must be credited, unfortunately, with being one of the most successful propaganda initiatives of all time.” unfortunately I don't think this particular one has any legs. might have believed it about burnley. but they might still stay up anyway
Unabomber Posted 28 February 2015 Posted 28 February 2015 Poor guy was only telling us what had been suggested.
Weller 7 Posted 28 February 2015 Posted 28 February 2015 This is strange. Susan Whelan actually told a friends of mine that the club were happy to be relegated this season, pre match, in the corporate lounge, before the Sunderland game!!! Why would the Chief Exec of any business admit to this, to someone from the general public!!! I took it with a pinch of salt at the time but these are people, I really trust. The whole thing is really odd. Why didn't they get rid of Pearson November time, like most clubs in our situation would have done? Why would they sack and them reinstate? Why spend that much in the January transfer window? Nothing makes sense this season. I've been a city fan for over 45 years and I've never known mixed signals like this from the club. Something very odd is going on down there. The Thai's are not stupid in business, yet discussion being made are completely non nonsensical. Are they being badly advised? The questions go on..........................
Sir Fynwy Posted 28 February 2015 Posted 28 February 2015 Invaded by Aliens, that's the only way to explain why we aren't champions yet
Webbo Posted 28 February 2015 Posted 28 February 2015 Now we know why Lord Lucan's never been found, he's been playing centre forward for us this season.
st albans fox Posted 28 February 2015 Posted 28 February 2015 She may gave been misinterpreted. Saying that we aren't afraid of being relegated from a financial perspective is not the same as saying we are happy to be relegated. the gist being that qpr getting relegated is a disaster for them re FFP (assuming it isn't changed) whereas we are apparently secure. Its all about context. I've thought for a long time now that the hierarchy aren't scared of the drop. Of course they want to stay up but if we have to go down and try again, they are ok with that. They are in this for the long haul.
purpleronnie Posted 28 February 2015 Posted 28 February 2015 It has been suggested that the club are only interested in making money and writing off debts this season and don't really want to stay in the Premier league, and will be looking forward the parachute payment,can't be true surely ? Has anyone heard anything similar? Welcome back Zingari.
sylofox Posted 1 March 2015 Posted 1 March 2015 praps it is true. Praps the owners are getting round betting rules by betting huge back home. They bet on wins all last season and losses all this season next season will be wins again. And every night after dinner Elvis and Amy Winehouse perform live for them and Tommy Cooper tells jokes before bed for an hour.
Foxhateram Posted 1 March 2015 Posted 1 March 2015 I heard we are being sold in the summer after the Thais run off with the parachute payments. haha.
Guest Basildon Fox Posted 1 March 2015 Posted 1 March 2015 Now we know why Lord Lucan's never been found, he's been playing centre forward for us this season. This could well be true. They have definitely been missing since Man Utd at home.
Bert Posted 1 March 2015 Posted 1 March 2015 This thread is now being locked due to the sheer stupidity of it.
