Coady gone to Wrexham for £2m, 32 years old!!! wasting money for the sake of it.

It's 700 million total revenue (ISH) in a year for Liverpool which is a rough figure. They earned around £90 million getting to last 16 of the champions League, £120 in sales last summer, £180 million in tv rights and then they make on average around 350 million in commercial deals a year which includes everything else in terms kit, stadium sponsorships etc etc.

It really is crazy sums.

Ah, thought it sounded a lot.
I would love to know how much we get. Is it in the accounts?

Interestingly, the Norwich owner had a dig at both of them for having no experience of how to run a successful team or how to win things. He says he has from his ownership in the USA.
Bedford have just been taken over by an American billionaire who says Wrexhams wealth is peanuts compared to his own.
Americans hey! Mine is bigger than yours.

Look's like the UK is the new frontier for them, probably after Canada and Greenland!

They are not gonna get relegated. So strategy is fine.

I doubt internally they are expecting promotion from their first championship season

They may be outsiders for a promotion spot you never know. But I'm sure they will be happy with mid table.

It's only rival fans who see the money and owners that think they are messing up

I think they've put themselves into the pack.

There is not much between mid table and a spot in the playoffs. Heck there sometimes isn't much between 21st and playoffs. Nearly everyone in this league has a chance!

Agreed. Why I find talk of their strategy being ridiculous...well a bit ridiculous lol

It's a bit boom or bust to most but they've got the money to do it...

I'd take Moore here for example but 4m would represent a huge risk on our behalf. We'd have to go up if we made signings like that.

Wrexham can get away with it as long as they're backed by the Disney brigade.

Apropos of nothing, but hamsters have absolutely massive bollocks in relation to body size.

Sperm competition, you see; if an animal has large testes, it means that you can infer there's a lot of mating competition.

Humans have medium sized testes, btw (for comparison, chimps large, gorillas small).

I read that in a David Attenborough voice mate lol,

West Brom losing Heggem for 10m.

 

[Cov4Ever]

Southampton and Ipswich interested in signing Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. (Sky Sports)

Strange one.

 

[Skybluekyle]

Bannan signed a new contract at Sheffield Wednesday

 

[Evo1883]

Fair play to Barry Bannon , would have been easy to up and go but seemingly put his family first .

Well done that man

 

[Winny the Bish]

West Brom losing Heggem for 10m.

Signed for £600k from Sweden last year. Fair play.

Turns out when you find and sign defenders with pace other teams want to sign them. Shame we went for Bobby and Kitching.

Love him or loathe him he's a good player

him, kyogo and stansfield?

Pretty decent forward line up

 

[Trueskyblue20]

Pretty decent forward line up

Yeah but it’s not quite Bassette, BTA and Simms though is it

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Their revenue, whilst exceptionally high for a club or their size, will be swallowed by a likely massive wage bill.

In Moore, Coady and O'Brien you're potentially looking at around £70-80k in wages per week alone at a very rough guess.

Yup exactly this.

Most of these players they are buying have zero sell on value too. If it gos wrong they are fucked.

Giving Windass and Coady long contracts in their 30s. Keifer Moore etc if it happens. Think bottom half of the league for me.

 

[fernandopartridge]

The loan with an obligation to buy a player who is obviously not PL standard is just weird

 

[fernandopartridge]

Yeah but it’s not quite Bassette, BTA and Simms though is it

Both Simms and BTA had a better goal ratio than Stansfield in the last Championship season they all played in.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Wrexham massively overpaying for everyone (has beens) on huge contracts.We gotta love it.

Disagree on this.

He’s watching all his mates become unemployed and not get paid while he signs on for longer.

Gives me scab vibes.

 

[Balli001]

They have all given notice and he has no guarantee of being paid. The opposite vibe for me

He could easily have found another club. A club he knew would pay his wages. A club that isn't odds on to get relegated. Even all their supporters are surprised he has stayed with them. He is going to be captain of a bunch of teenagers playing in the Championship.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Probably only way they could get an agreement and think if they get promoted it's totally irrelevant and will be able to sell him on.

Plus the owner seems to be a deluded narcissist who can just throw endless money at it.

I would really love for it to go horribly wrong for Birmingham because of him. Nothing better than seeing an arrogant Yank being made to look silly.

 

[coop]

Birmingham really going for it and I think they will be up there,with the momentum helping them we need a few more signatures to even challenge. Defiantly a new CB and Forward and if I'm honest an attacking midfielder as Grimes is more of a centre half most of the time.

 

[Sbarcher]

Doyle signs………. For Portsmouth as first team coach.

I agree there. Think. I think they could be but Championship experience counts for a lot. It's going to be a mainly new side. If they gel quickly they have a good chance. Most new sides don't though.
