I made one statement that they haven't put a single cent in. You contested that statement by raising the issue of loans, that isn't putting money in, that's la loan pure and simple. The point of a loan is it's gets paid back. We have to pay it back. You then tried to suggest that I'm using semantics and raised the issues of charitable donations. Again a different kettle of fish. And finally in an attempt to close down discussion around the statement I keep making, that you cannot refute, is to question my credentials. Tsk tsk.
Wlr. When people say they've given us 35m for Carroll . It didn't come from their back pocket. It came from selling Torres. For 50m. Our money. Not theirs. We spent it.
When people say they gave the manager 100m in the summer. 70m Suarez money. TV money. Our money. Not theirs.
When they say they've backed all our managers to the tune of 200m .... You know where I'm going with this...
They haven't put a penny in, what money we've earnt, we've spent, yet they dictate the strategy that never again will we overspend on over inflated transfer fees, their words, even though they know jack shit about the game, players, what an over inflated transfer fee is. That's some bullshit. Nor appoint someone with some pedigree in the game. More bullshit IMHO.
And while we go round and round talking about players, agents, managers and fees the actual policy laid down goes under the radar.That's some clever bullshit indeed. And the best yet is that it's probably charged to our accounts for such spin.
