They have money to burn. We allegedly paid £6 million for Reach, and few would have paid that when we signed him. In any case, I was thinking more of Rhodes.

It's music to Gibson's ears at bonny 'Boro, for example. He's had our trousers down for £14 million. One moment he says that we're gonna be in big trouble, the next "don't worry about FFP". It's possible that our great leader is sharper than we've given credit for. Let's say you've got a manager whom you're not completely happy with. Keeping a portion of your money aloof and telling him that there's no cash because of FFP means that he has to make do with what he's got. Then when the man you want becomes available you can back him. Nixon's right about one thing, Brucie wouldn't be coming here unless (a) he is well paid and (b) there's money in the kitty. that's 2, but you are correct about all but the maths.

axolotl Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Isn't the £14M referred to the cost of both Reach and Rhodes? We got both from Boro 20 minutes ago, bladeshater said: But Rhodes didnt cost £14million Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless if anyone wants it the ground is an asset. asset stripping for a quick fix is bloody stupid to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's not forget though that any instalments left on his fee to Boro will be immediately due. Plus if we sold him for £14m on a five year contract the fee I believe is amortised over the 5 years I believe. So it wouldn't show as £14m income for this year but £2.8m for each year of the contract. I'll gladly be corrected on that but that's the way I understand it.
