Hampshire Red Posted February 28, 2020 Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 Several people on this forum want us to go up. Tonight we have Norwich v Villa and just pretend, just for a moment, you have the chance to be the owner of BCFC. How much would you spend of City's tightly regulated money (FFP). Villa have spent £144m and Norwich less than £2m on their teams. Some City fans dont even think their ST is worth the few hundred quid it costs!!!!!!!!!! What would you be - a Norwich or a Villa or a BCFC, aiming to become competitive again in the Championship? I dont think this isthat easy, do you?

Maltshoveller Posted February 28, 2020 Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 With what we have at the moment I would take the money and build a team ready for a push at the championship the following season we could spend 150m and still go down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiale Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 Norwich seem to find good players without paying transfer fees. When they went up last, several of thier first team squad were free transfers. Just seems they have been pretty shrewd in the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To get Schmeichal, Evans, Seyoncu, Chilwell, Ndidi, Maddison, Vardy and Perez for £144m is incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampshire Red Posted February 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 My mistake on fixture but I think I'm right on spending and the point is:if you love your club long term would you rather go up and spend £1m to try to avoid coming straight back down as Norwich did or would you want the owner to spend like Villa?

Guest Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 Villa/Norwich/West Ham we could easily be playing any of them next season..............but.......in this div NOT the prem. Pretty daunting prospect of any of those 3 being added to whats left in this div next season; if any of those 3 come down they will be hot favs to go straight back up again for sure. Going by recent efforts likely to be a big chance missed this season, this afternoon looks like a real last chance saloon game for us to do anything.

Their facilities are tops , they have a lovely ground right next to the railway station and in the heart of the City and are the only league club in the county . They are well supported and have an interesting history of success despite their geographical isolation. We should have been looking at them for the right way to run a club since the last fifty odd years . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s put it this way, I wouldn’t want to risk the future of the club by overspending but sensible recruitment and good management should give us a fighting chance of staying up . The lower half of the Prem are not so much better than the top half of the Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
