Bascombe- Americans to sell up?

[sonsofthedesert]

Yep, and they want to borrow £350M to pay off that, pay for Torres and Babel installments and do enough to start contruction for a few months.

Yeah most is correct but we don't have the facts over the finance. Before you say anything yes I am worried but I am not going to kill myself over it or go mental like you.

Here is the dww post. Have a read, I am sure you will admit that the stuff about nett spend and the change in buying style makes alot more sense than peole who just spout nett spend without substance.


I have to say that the truth is clearly more complex than either side want to portray. From G&H's point of view they paid back £45m of debt including the £10m to Moores for Kuyt and then we went ahead and made record buys in the summer.

The nett spend argument is hard to pin down as a/ we wouldn't see all of the nominal fees come back to us after agents etc. take their cuts and b/ there is the increased wages to take into account. In my opinion there was a step change in buying style and power this summer - when have we ever made two £10m+ buys in a summer? When have we spend £6m on a youngster who might not see much first team action immediately (Lucas)?

To me this "the Count was right and G&H have done nothing" argument is equally ludicrous as an exaggeration of what has happened as the claims that we are on a par with Man United in spending terms.

I also think that maybe we should look towards the old Arsenal model of spending rather than that of United as a realistic and sustainable one which we can move forward with. We can then spend more when a new stadium is available.

AF, I noticed that you have ignored commenting on dww's view on the nett spend situation.

If we for example sell a player, say Bellamy for £6m, then the agents would probably take 15%-20%, just an example, I don't know how much they would take.

That means that we may have spent something like £27.6m, based on an 20% agent fee.

I don't think we have increased the wages if you take the wages from the players we sold and replace them with the wages from the players we signed, not that much anyway.

Just annoys me. He is worse than AFII for using his own opinion as fact.

Just ignore him, theres a reason they despise him on TLW and he's banned from other LFC sites.

Yeah sorry for that but the crap thrown by RASHid and AFII has to be answered.

You shouldn't assume anything to be honest should you? I was banned from YNWA about 5 years ago after an argument with the owners. Nowhere else. I just choose to mainly post on TLW.

Sly digs, grovelling etc is a nonsense and not true, I sent one email saying I wanted to come back he said I could when he was ready. Did dave tell you himself I grovelled? Cos he is a mate, I can ask him what he told the famous Chris from EST if you like.
