Guest BirdonaMaguire Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 It's easy to ask Milan to fund signings isn't it, the Wednesday faithful love doing that, our first home league game of the season attracted just over 21k home fans, think that was pretty poor IMHO.

Or maybe it was only 21,000 (not bad anyway) because of that lack of investment. By that token, surely last seasons crowds demanded a far higher investment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Shutt is God Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Where did the money come from to sign Antonio in the first place......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradowl Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Not forgetting payments to May and Antonio, we probably don't have that much left. Therefore it would make sense to use it for a loan fee for a player otherwise outside of our reach. Antonio wanted to go so I'm not sure he's entitled to anything.

southportdc Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 You've calculated c£500k left to spend and want us to sign 2 first team players on a permanent basis? Bet if we signed someone for £250k you'd say they weren't good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BirdonaMaguire Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 And maybe we could fluke it this season like Burnley, doubtful but who knows. Your constant moaning about MM and the squad gets tiresome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest aj_owl Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 (edited) When we sold Antonio our very own spin doctor was on saying we would have the 2 or 3 players Stuart needed and one of the reasons behind the sale was to give us flexibility. Listening to Gray now he seems like a man hoping rather than expecting to sign someone. Now we are now waiting to see who we can get on loan which I am assuming means that the money for transfer fees has gone. So based on the £1.5m sale minus say 20% of the PRRRROFFFIT to Reading..means we probably came out with £1.35m ..minus the 800k for May leaves us 550k...... Would anyone like to explain why Gray suddenly finds himself fumbling in the loan bins when if our very own Shane Warne was to be believed we would provide Stuart with the funds needed. Or is it more likely that a bit like McSue at the lane the wool is being pulled and the 500k will cover the operating defecit. I think if Gray had full access to the funds we would be at least one player stronger as we stand today. Gray is doing a fantastic job keeping the players focussed but 3 injuries and we are playing 17yr old on the bench... We've signed Shane Warne?Must be going back to the cricket club.

oh_weds_we_love_you Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Milan owns the club, he's entitled to do whatever he likes with it. I don't believe half of what he says, and avoiding relegation will be what he considers as job done - and it will be the case until he sells the club, any higher finish is a bonus. However, I do trust him to do what is best for the club. If that means using any excess Antonio money to cover any losses this season, then so be it.

Bluesteel Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Loans cost money, theyre rarely free. If we have money though Id rather try and get someone in permanently over a longer period, even if they arent quite as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canyoujust Posted August 19, 2014 Author Share Posted August 19, 2014 Lets just wait and see what long term loans we get....then will see what everyone says. Anyone who thinks we will spend fees on loans is in cuckoo land....it will be kids who are learning the trade . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
