Players signed, high wages, agents, all the staff at the club, financial cost of day to day running of club.
We also have a debt.. so we ha e to cut out cloth accordingly.
Just support the team .. that’s best we can do as fans
other clubs sign players for more money on higher wages. and have more staff..
ive gone along with this for years but at some point you have to start questioning...
HERE IS THE QUESTION..in the 10 years he has been here we have been in 2 play offs. had 2 promotions. spent 2 years in the prem. been to a cup final and had 7 years worth of enormous TV money. its been our most successful period since the 1920s.{ 90 years } .and THE most successful financially by a country mile ..and bar 1 year { the 1st year in prem } we haven't been big spenders..
so how unrealistic must his original business plan have been to still have a 9 figure debt at the end of all that ?
on top of that...RED...why did so many go along with it ?..the answer is that he promised money...I don't think one single person thought that for 8 years all we would hear is how big the debt to him is or that it would still be upwards of a hundred million quid in 8 years time...
there is something wrong somewhere..
