StaffsRam Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 How is He operating on a zero budget? The days of a net positive transfer spend ended with star. Since then Nigel's always had to sell before he can buy. Transfer activity during his reign is at or very close to neutral. Considering that we've had poor squads since we came down, trying to improve that after traditionally selling our better players for peanuts (Hulse, Commons), without having a decent transfer kitty is difficult.

B4ev6is Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I am sick and tired of this board being cheap skates all the time cutting corners were they can, if nigal won't stand upto them it is about time us derby county fans did, i say were get our message across back nigel or get the hell out of our club they have had there chance and now it is time for them to go, i think we need owners who will invest some money into the club, this is also not the first ******* time they have sold our best players. and once again nigal clough is being told sell sell sell cut the wages man we are tieing your hands even further. i say during our preseason we protest against them at all games until they sell up or give our nigal some flucking money.

Ambitious Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 As the dust settled, I explained our situation. Our income is ridiclous, we have a budget which is said to be a neutral one, which means we're going to make roughly a 5/6million pound loss this season. I think people do not appreciate this and consider it small but there are a lot other teams making less investment than we're but they have income from player sales (like burnley) or have parachute payments (like blackburn) We have a team, on a budget and no other form of investment (even leicester are selling before they buy this season) so we've got to make adjustments to improve the team, clough needs to improve the team by changing the team which he is going about, only time will tell if he is right, will have to take gambles and will have to try and turn 1 good player into 2, and work on maximising our budget. I would of perhaps done things differently in this situation as other people would, but some people don't understand how difficult it is to get teams to part with their money, some of the figures people suggest for our fringe players is laughable. I was hearing 500k for Maguire, 300k for Addison...etc just doesn't happen like that, we need to act quickly and efficiently. I believed that when we accepted that bid for Shackell it's because we already had something in the pipeline that we wanted to complete quickly, only a hunch but suppose we'll have to wait and see.

uttoxram75 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 How is He operating on a zero budget? 800,000 on Bailey/Brayford 500,000 on Maguire 300,000 on Moxey 400,000 on Porter 400,000 on Fielding 300,000 on Robinson 350,000 on Davies 250,000 on Martin 900,000 on Barker 750,000 on Shackell He's had money in the pot and with the exceptions of Brayford, Robinson, Barker and Bryson He hasn't done a great deal with it... From memory (before Shack) he's spent about 1m net. In 3 years. The problem is wages, trying to attract players with our wage budget is what makes it very difficult.

Mears - 500k Villa - 1.6million Dickinson - 300k Nyatanga - 500k Varney - 750k Maguire - 250k Shackell - 1.1million Moxey - 500k Hulse - 800k Commons - 300k about 7million and we haven't spent that much...

networker1884 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Clough's hands are tied. He wants to improve the squad yet has nothing to spend to do so. Why can't you guys just be a little more patient and see who is brought in before you all attempt suicide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stimacked Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Who is to blame for Clough (The Manager) having to go and sell his one remaining proven championship quality centre back. Without a shadow of a doubt it is The board who must be held responsible. Since last summer, the funding The board promissed to us supporters to strengthen the team dried up soon after Shackell was signed. Its obvious. Thats why, The board never managed to bring in a leader in central midfield. Thats why The board never managed to bring in a proven goalscorer to lead the line. We were all expecting someone else along with Tyson. Robinson was not meant to be the one to lead the line for us last season. The Manager had no other options. The Manager had to make do with the cheapest options available. Thats why The Manager has been forced to play Ball, Bennett, and Hendrick as much as he did last season. No way was Bennett ready to make an impact. Hendrick's emergence was timed to perfection and saved The board some flack. In the clubs official statement, Glick makes a longer statement saying they are sad to see him go (As if The board cared more than The Manager!), that The board are looking to use the money to make two signings including a replacement. Two for the price of one. Thats been their line all summer anyway. The board will not provide investment for The Manager to strengthen the squad so that we can make the progress that The board keep promissing us each Season Ticket renewal period. No doubt The Manager has decided that Shackell is the player who he thinks he can replace the most effectively. Despite knowing it would cause a backlash from the supporters. No way does The Manager believe Naylor, O'brien and Buxton will be sufficient. Naylor hasen't even played centre back for us yet! O'brien is just out of his nappies. Clough said after Buxton scored the winner against Forest, " that will probably be the highlight of his career" Buxton is always seen as reliable squad player to Clough.

Thats a very strong record given that players in these price brackets will always be something of a a gamble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shake n Bake Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 We sold one player and people are crying board out Clough out. Move on, the board and Clough aren't going to be leaving any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaffsRam Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 The list of signings earlier is around 5m and doesn't include Jacobs or Varney Or Ward The list doesn't include losses on players signed by Clough himself. I'll bet it's less than losses incurred on players signed by Davros and star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davenportram Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 The list doesn't include losses on players signed by Clough himself. But the claim was he hadn't had anywhere near £7m to spend when he had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duffield Ram Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Not a bad gift! He looked great at Blackpool in the PL and scored some good goals. Pompey will sell anyone now, so why not look at him? Oh yes, i remember now Clough doesn't rate him thats why!!!!!! I think NC does an okay job bearing in mind he has awful leaders and always has his dads shadow over him. Which must be a form of pressure in itself! Please please prove us wrong NC and start the season of well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
