Lets look at what's gone

[Trickytreesreds]

Forget the JL + KD saga for a moment.

If FFP is the driving force now, look at the deadwood we have got rid of and no doubt their awful wages.

majewski, Henderson, greening, miller, Derbyshire, moussi, tudgay - mackie and cox nearly gone.

Should we then manage to get rid of Halford/Collins/Harding, we will have the full set.

12 players. That's brilliant, especially when you consider their net contribution.
Why has it taken so long really to clear up Macbrolleys and Billys mess?

Could you take a very simplistic guess at ten grand a week average, each?
Add the wages of Darlow and Lascelles, transfer fees in.
Bloody hell, where's those blueprints for the new ground

[Trickytreesreds]

Even a conservative 8k a week average is 5 million a year. 12 K a week (more realistic) is 7.5 Million.
I know others have come in, but apart from Fryup and Mancienne the rest are mainly youngsters.
Also the 1 million a year of JL + KD.

Look at it this way. Could you do this sort of thing under Billy? I doubt it. Billy doesn't worry about building/costs/implications. Just give me the purse.

McClaren's Follies were draining our club of minimum 30 grand a week for three years.
Christ we have wasted a lot of money on treading water for the last 15 years

It doesn't take much to confuse a Notts County fan - shoes on correct feet is a good start to your day.
People who know the ins and outs of FFP are few and far between and those that take a modicum of interest are fans of teams that actually spend money.
This need not bother you.

No your not Pedro, this is a poor attempt at a wind up. Read the other posts, all you need to know is there.
After all it is a NFFC forum, so we'll tend to discuss anything that may interest you.

dam you , dam617...

i wish we could be in your shoes , pushing for promotion into the premier and next stop europe ...
and in this quest having our chairman plough endless cash in search for another star on that garibaldi shirt of yours ...
now remind me , how much has he thrown at the team so far for this season...
i think it must be in the region of tens of millions , surely ...?

oh..what was that ...just one million ...??
now that is what i call a massive paradox...
listen to the promises made , and balance that with the cash spent ...????
no to mention the incoming cash injection off millions , neigh billions on ts way ...

to me it seems like you have sold the family jewels to pay the tax man ...
but to others it seems you are selling your future stars because your chairman is going to buy , buy, buy , even though he's worried about the FFP ...open your eyes !

(It seems to me you should worry about your club more a

Back on topic, surely the main thing "what's gone" is trust between chairman and manager.


(That's not the topic fool. Simple comprehension also fails you)
