SecretSam Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Some comedian has just put on Football Rumours that Coppell will get £10M to spend in the summer I'm inclined to think that this is bo11ocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFCfan Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Im pretty sure we'll see a large change in the playing squad, happens most times with new gaffers. Lots of money coming off the wage bill with all the loanees going back but im sure SC will have a fiar chunk to spend. SL gives all new managers money, always has, always will. ALL HAIL SL! I would imagine a budget of 4m nett would be tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfkerton Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 10m, well, i'd expect to see an instant return on that if i was SL. However i think your right, Bullshlake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy082005 Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 £10m?? maybe, but I would imagine that would include transfer fees, signing on fees, agents fees, and wages etc. Seriously though, if Coppell is on his way in, and the rumours of him not originally being that interested are true!....I'd imagine we will be spending some decent money in the summer. Why would he want to come here with no money being offered..... this really could be exciting times for Bristol City...... .................wonder how the Gash feel about all this ?? muhaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence my comment - the level of delusion on that site is quite staggering However, were we to sell one of our players, we might raise a few bob...Maynard must now be worth a tonne more than we paid so SL might cash in.

Somerset_Sam Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Some comedian has just put on Football Rumours that Coppell will get £10M to spend in the summer This is true 10 million to spend on whatever he likes, doesn't even need to be players, SC has seen a house in Miami that he likes. SL has also told SC that he can work whatever days he likes, and if any of the games clash with any other social events he has he can leave keith in charge. Trundle is signing a new 4 year deal, McCombe is being made captain and Johnson can come back as SC's assistant if things dont go well at Pboro. All of this is subject to change, without notice...

Nibor Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Whoever the new manager is I expect the way SteveL approaches the wage budget and funding of transfer fees to be pretty much the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
II Wurzel II Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 It does make me chuckle when I see this...theres no way information like this is going to become public info, also its crap like this that makes clubs raise there asking price for future targets.

potbelly Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Maynard must now be worth a tonne more than we paid so SL might cash in. I think Maynard is now about break even, we overpaid for him in the first place because we were desperate at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banksy Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 there is no budget for the manager SL will have said to the new man if you find a player you believe will improve our club i will see what i can do (within reason obviously) as for those talking about selling maynard.. do you want to get to the premier league??? think where we would be without his goals this season. we MUST keep him.

bringbacktherobin Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Why is this meant to be so funny? If SL wanted too 10million to him is hardly anything, i wouldnt be suprised if it did happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superjack Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Why is this meant to be so funny? If SL wanted too 10million to him is hardly anything, i wouldnt be suprised if it did happen. Because SL is not silly enough to give out a lump-sum 'war chest'. He will IMO spend on a player as and when agreed with Coppell (or whoever {ffs, where's this press conference?}) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob k Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 A big name manager will want a big budget, however much that is will be kept secret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_BCFC Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Why is this meant to be so funny? If SL wanted too 10million to him is hardly anything, i wouldnt be suprised if it did happen. Because he isn't the sort of guy who goes throwing money at things. He wants the club to stand up on its own without throwing money left right and centre at it. The budget for the transfers will be the same as normal. If Steve Coppell identifies a player he wants then SL will try and make it happen if possible within the budget- same as GJ.

JackIKnowski Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Does anyone know the max a city manager has spent in one season? It must be with the £2.25m aquisition of Maynard surely? I think there is a real danger of losing him this summer if we get an offer upward of £4m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CITYDAN01 Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 i would not sell maynard for less than £5m if chopra is worth £6m and he is a few years older than maynard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redhyde Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 We do need serious investment in the team to raise it to a level where we can compete at the top. We can arse about trying to scrape a top half finish with this team. But then what's the point of a new stadium and a manager like Coppell. At some point we're going to have to go for it. http://www.thisisnottinghamforest.co.uk/news/Davies-Forest-signings-proved-value-money/article-1720888-detail/article.html is a good example. Forest spent 5.5mill and transformed where they were. We put that sort of money in and who knows? We've seen the implications of overspending, but SL has to decide what he wants. If it's Prem football then he's going to have to invest more IMO. Five years ago I would've been delighted with stable championship football. But what are our ambitions?

CiderHider Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 SL always backs his managers with a good kitty, 10m though. Wheeew, I don't think so. More like half that if we are extremely fortunate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
