jp1981 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I just think people forget this is Milan's budget, how far he (a shrewd business) is willing to go whilst in the process of selling us. I don't think we'll go any further in the league under Milan, but he'll always protect his investments - so short termism (which none of us like) will be deployed & I trust Milan will bring in a capable fit CF and CB when it's time. I suppose it's abit like if you were selling a car. Would you fill the tank up with petrol if you had just agreed to sell it? No you wouldn't unless it would benefit you in the sale. Same thing for Milan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigrbuk Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 If Mammadov were confident he wasn't a crook and he had the money, he could give the money to make the signings and protect his investment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Liam Cooper , good young centre half at Chesterfield is interesting Wolves and Forest amongst others apparently. Leeds bid for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzuki_San Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Clayton is by far the best of them. Seems to be a right wierdo, though. What do you mean, 'he's a right weirdo'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jp1981 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 ....but Milan has said himself that he loves the supporters and wants to give them the club they deserve. Perhaps, he means by selling to Mammadov who will splash the cash. I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Is Westwood a crock? Apparently so. Injured again at the moment isn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC3 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Apparently so. Injured again at the moment isn't he? He is at the moment, but looking at his Coventry and Carlisle records where he was first choice (apart from his first season at Carlisle), hes played near enough every game. Wouldn't worry about it anyway, we've got 2 of the best keepers in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 These car/house analogies are not really that relevant. Milan is in the entertainment business and if he wants to entice people through the gates, then he has to give them something worth watching. He has someone interested in taking over the business and a deal may or may not be close, but the business still has to run. He still has to sell the product. It's one thing, being unable to sanction big money signings, I think people understand that, but it quite another to undermine the manager by refusing him the funds to even get together a basic squad. Presumably we've set a budget for the season ahead, long before the takeover was mooted. If we must use the selling a house analogy that some are fond off. It's like going around and unscrewing the light sockets when you think you might have an offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wilyfox Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Yep, the analogies are rubbish. This is a pretty unique business, but it needs to function regardless of the takeover. Our squad is too small; there's no glossing over that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like going around and unscrewing the light sockets when you think you might have an offer. If we make a signing or a long term loan it's not as if Mandaric will be funding the wages for much longer anyway, as soon as the takeover gets ratified it's Mammadov's business. Can't quite understand why if players are supposedly lined up why they're not being signed (if there's no transfer fee involved) - there's clearly funds in the wage budget for them, which is now substantially lower than it was at the end of last season. We need players in now, not in a month's time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
