ChubStixx Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Funny really.I think that this is one of the biggest myths this season.People on the outside see the likes of Marcus Stewart and Michael Bridges coming to us, with Leroy Lita going for a million and just presume we have splashed out. Not the case people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Reynolds Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 I want to see him try and justify why Leroy Lita wasn't good enough for our first team.←I'm adamant that Leroy Lita would have given Danny Cullip the fright of his life, and we would have won the play-off final with him in the team. I liked Christian, but his performance that day was shocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray White Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Yeah, the strikeforce that that was pitiful to be honest. It had absolutely nothing going for it. The wrong Roberts turned up and Miller was so short of match fitness it was laughable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ben Wah Balls Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Thing is you don't consider spending £150k as much at all, when that's as much as we've spent in 5 seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ben Wah Balls Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Last season we spent £20k on Roberts and £70k on Ifil and recieved about £100k rising to up to a million for Leigh Mills but that was a lot for us under King. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ben Wah Balls Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 And that was a high spending season but it's still a lot less than £150k but it's the wages that's the biggest difference, even if you'd spent nothing you'd still be big spenders because of your huge wage budget.

Look at the squad size compared with the last year of Wilson's reign.Stewart and Bridges are probably on top wages granted, but not so high that losing double the number of players you signed still doesn't save you some.He's not right.Nibor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerry Gows' Tash Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Our wage bill is much lower then last season, SL is personally underwriting Stewarts wages and even if he wasn't the squad is about 25% smaller than it was. Theres is no way we can be described as big spenders when we've kept virtually all our trasnfer income. DW = Berk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
