StaffsRam Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Has Mr Appleby invested? Or is he just the front man? Pretty sure he has, but I can't remember how much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uttoxram75 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Has Mr Appleby invested? Or is he just the front man? Pretty sure he has, but I can't remember how much. Don't think he's a big investor at all. He just runs GSE which manages the club for the investors. Ramblur will tell us...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Appleby is the head of the company, and GSE themselves are a sports management organisation. so I don't think he invests, but brings investors in... doing a grand job of it too 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huh' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':huh:' /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SillyBilly Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Haven't Burnley just done the same thing as Derby are proposing? Sell a player to finance buying other players. They just happened to have an exciting younger player to sell, we had a slightly above average centre half to trade in. Slightly different. If someone came in and offered us a few million for Mason for example (only player I can think of with the potential to be great) then I think the majority of us would be delighted. We could then spend the summer speculating over the 3-4 established quality players we could bring in with his fee that would move us forward towards the top 6. We can now spend the summer speculating why the club would sell a player they heralded 12 months previous as a player to build the squad around for a fee rumoured to be not much larger than we paid. I'd like to have read Burnley's forum if they had bought said young player a year previous and then sold him for not much more with the intent of buying a couple of as good players with the fee, what do you reckon the sentiment would be? Delight with the club's ambition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hangdaboard Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Lets be honest were probably the best supported club in the league, but the lowest in terms of ambition. The owners with their puppet government of Clough & co are gearing us up for another dogfight just to stay away from relegation. They do this because they know we follow blindly (we will all be there next year). Green, Shackell gone, probably Davies & Robinson will be gone, Barker out for the season, but dont worry we are strengthening with quality league 2 or none league signings. Getting rid of some of the fringe players yeah right, lets face it they hide behide the fair play rules, is it rain today or more p%$$ coming out of them?
