We've got pretty much the same structure as United.
-
From here
-
Yes. The title CEO tends to be used by American companies. MD is usually what we use over here. Same job though.
-
CEO and Managing Director are the same thing.
-
The execution has been wrong at times, but the idea we should wring every penny of value out of what we spend is absolutely correct.
-
I know what the wages were in the last published accounts. I'm not sure how much clearer I can be. They showed a small increase.
-
We spend more than Spurs on wages. The other four? Of course we spend less than them. I don't dispute that. I dispute the idea that FSG are cutting wages and not spending money on transfer fees.
-
Are we not? There's five weeks to go and we're still getting linked with big money signings. Could be b******s of course, but I'm yet to see any evidence that the owners are trying to run us on the cheap. By looking at the last published accounts. Do you have more up-to-date information?
-
It's both seasons net spend if you add the windows together. Last set of accounts show an increase in wages. There's f*** all point in discussing this though, because everyone's made their mind up. £35m net spend each season and the wage bill keeps growing.
-
FSG's strategy looks okay to me, but they're still suffering from G&H's f*** ups and their own early naivety. FFP is the big test - if it's properly implemented we're looking good. Chelsea and City have will be fine in the short term because of the way the finances work, but if they have a wobble they won't be able to buy themselves out of the hole they're in. If it's not implemented properly, FSG can sell us at a profit to some Arabs and they can splash the cash.
-
I agree. And if an Oligarch buys us and FFP is enforced, we won't be in the Champions League anyway.
-
So £35m a season? Asset Stripping!
-
2011/12 isn't three seasons ago. The article was published in April 2013, so I assume it's the latest data available for all clubs.
-
Last accounts has us paying 5th top wages in the league - more than double Everton and almost double Newcastle. Here. .
-
If they're confident in the contract, they don't have to offer him anything, Just tell him he's going nowhere unless we receive a bid we're happy with.
-
Course it will. I bet Kenny's not sat at home wringing his hands.
-
Because we're not in the Champions League. Also we spent a fortune on Downing et al and the last books showed us making a healthy loss. Taking 08/09 as your comparison season includes two summers of managers working under the dog days of G&H as well.
-
To be fair, I knew about the clause and I wasn't told by his agent.
-
How do you sell a player without letting any other clubs know they're available?
-
No. I think they'll leave the decision up to the transfer committee.
-
Rogers is on the transfer committee. If Suarez is sold, it won't be FSG making the decision.
-
I think FSG give the transfer committee a budget which they can do with what they want. I think there's a price at which the committee will sell Suarez. I think that's not necessarily the same price that fans would sell him at. I think if FSG are only looking at their own short term gain, they've got a funny way of showing it.
-
Why so certain that it will be FSG selling him against Rogers wishes?
-
What's funny?
-
This was done in the Reina thread. City goal wasn't a mistake, nor was Bale's free-kick. Cazorla's wasn't great keeping but hardly the worse thing I've ever seen. Goal he threw in against Hearts was s**** but not exactly a big game. I think he's really good. Heard that he's got a taste for the ale, though that could be the usual Liverpool rumour mongering.
