sage Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 If the board are going to give NC £1m plus income for transfer fees and and extra £500k a year to spend on wages, what should he do? The rules are......List your ins and outs with tranfer fees if applicable and put them into a team and a back up team, your choice of formation. Try to stick to a previous posters valuation of a player, in or out, unless most people agree it's a silly one. Here goes, feel free to slate my efforts, then have a go yourself IN Morison (£2m) Fielding (£400k) Ward (£200k) D.Jones (Free) B.Jones (Free) Nugent (Free) Murray (Free) Murphy - LB (Free) Duke (Free) Kightley (Free/Contract based on apps) Ayala (Season long loan) Young Prem CM (Loan till xmas) OUT Varney (£500k) Bywater (£300k) Leacock (£300k) Pearson (£300k) Martin (£100k) Croft (£100k) Savage (Ret'd) Porter (Free) Deeney (Free) Bueno (E.O.L.)

sage Posted April 9, 2011 Author Share Posted April 9, 2011 We simply aren't going to spend that much. I would be amazed (but delighted) if we spent more than £3m net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramblur Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 £3m might be more likely....but come on Tom....Lets Get this Party Started, Would be an interesting poll to see what members feel would be an acceptable net spend-perhaps £1m to £4m in £1m steps,followed by £5m+ I've a feeling many are in for a disappointment.

uttoxram75 Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Its not a matter of how much though is it? Its whether the team plays well. If we play like we did last sept/oct then I could'nt give a toss how much we spend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we play like we did last sept/oct then I could'nt give a toss how much we spend. I'd agree,Uttox,that the actual amount doesn't matter as long as Nigel is funded to the extent that he's able to compete for the signatures of the players he believes we need to achieve the targets set by the club.

sage Posted April 9, 2011 Author Share Posted April 9, 2011 Strangely enough, I think one of the key factors in us buying the right players will be which of the players NC doesn't want, we manage to sell. Especially how quickly we can sell them and how much we can get for them. The list of players I think NC wants rid of are Bywater, Varney, Leacock, Croft and Martin.

Duracell Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Liverpool spent £35m on a just-about proven Championship striker in January, so I'm not sure £3m will be enough. Or maybe Liverpool spent too much on Caroll.....? No, no. Absolute nonsense. Caroll is worth every penny of 35, 000, 0000 English pounds and any less than that will not buy us a striker who will garauntee us 15 goals a season.

Ramalama Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 it sounds like ground zero all over again, the first season where they spunked a load of money just to get players in, it's not quantity it's quality, 2or 3 decent players every window would have done us.

RamNut Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 it's not quantity it's quality, 2or 3 decent players every window would have done us. ....but now we are needing some major surgery. reading the reports of Glicks meeting with the fans though it sounds as though what is planned is more modest. quote from COYR: Fielding a deffo signing Ward & Robinson probable Need to reduce wage bill by 1mil Clough targeting Utility players so they can reduce squad size Every 5k season ticket renewels they lose means 1mil down Club looking to sign 2 15 goals a season strikers Clubs income 18 mill and wages 11 mill 6 mill comes in through season tickets Clough thought he had taken Moxey as far as he could go and the offer was a good one. Bywater disruptive and wants him out He sees Addison now as a defensive midfielder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramalama Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 I have absolutely no confidence that they are going to improve things in the summer, regardless of how much they spend, I just don't think we have the ability at management level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted April 10, 2011 Author Share Posted April 10, 2011 UttoxRam You were at the meeting. Can you confirm these TG remarks on reducing the wage bill further and signing utility players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 I don't know what sort of figures we're talking about, the board don't make that sort of promise and don't deliver on it. Leaving/Get rid of. Bywater - nominal - save around 520k in wages a year Leacock - nominal - save around 420k in wages a year Roberts - nominal - I would get rid, save around 312k in wages a year Savage - free - save around 832k in wages a year Pearson - nominal - save around 520k in wages a year Porter - free - save around 312k in wages a year Varney - 250k - save around 624k in wages a year that would free up 3,540,000 in wages put that with a healthy transfer budget, I'm not expecting 2million+ players coming in.. infact we don't need to spend that much anyway! Coming in/Bring in. Frank Fielding - 400k - around 312k a year. Lee Boywer - Free - around 624k a year. Ayala - loan - around 120k a year. David Murphy - free - around 416k a year. Jamie Ward - 200k - 208k a year. Theo Robinson - 200k - 208k a year. Darius Henderson - 400k - 312k a year George Boyd - 1million - 312k a year Billy Jones - free - 260k a year Tom Ince - loan - 60k a year Giles Barnes - free - 312k a year I think that brings in a lot of experience, Darius Henderson would be a brilliant signing, you can see how influential someone like him can be in our system, plus David Murphy who is out of contract at Birmingham he is an experienced player who has been called a top defender for this division, a regular side with Fielding Murphy Ayala Barker Brayford Bowyer Bailey Boyd Barnes Cywka Henderson Deeney, Addison, Jones, Ince, Davies, Ward, Robinson. It looks much improved, also really hope we go back to that formation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
