TET
Well-known member
point 3 you alluded to team would be better with another new player and no ceo, coz ceos does nowt, so maybe I did read it?1. Sorry TET, I am too busy with my day job putting together business plans for my employer and negotiating multi-million £ contracts to do Lawwell's job for him on a forum. And I would hardly share it with you lot in case Hoopy nipped in front of me and used my plan to get a the CEO job from DD.
2. You are more up to speed with FF than I am, but I cant remember any non-Trolls on here accusing PL of protecting paedos or running Scottish fitba as per you last post!
3. If you bothered to read my post you will have noticed I never said to use PL's wages to buy superstars. But seeing as Lawwell has the largest CEO salary in British football then he should be the best - our highest paid players are on less than 10% of the wages of the highest paid players in the EPL which is correct and yet our CEO earns more!
4. I'm sure Dubsi does have its merits - I notice you ignored my counter-proposal that putting the huge board bonuses towards a full size indoor pitch MAY provide an extended boost to our performances on the pitch during the cold Scottish winters.
5. There is no middle ground between our current business plan and liquidation??? Come on now - you have really jumped the shark on this point! And having the extra CL money may not result in more profit (boo fucking hoo) but we would have a much bigger budget and that more often than not means better players on the pitch!
6. & 7. The point you keep ignoring is that the are too many examples of us stalling on transfer negotiations for players in desperately needed positions and then we cave in and give the seller exactly what they wanted all along a couple of days AFTER we have been knocked out to try to appease the fans for the unnecessary failure. That is NOT a smart use of our budget IMO.
8. Players will NEVER develop into better players hetying splinters in their arses on the sidelines. It looks like we are away to lose another potentially fantastic youngster as Okoflex looks certain to leave for peanuts. If our business plan is to develop cheap youngsters and sell them for profit then appoint a coach/manager who is capable of doing this (clue: there may have been several unopenef CVs for just this type of coach in the drawer of our CEO when there last was a vacancy).
9. You keep stating thst you must buy late in the window to avoid paying over the odds as if this is some sort of unarguable fact. It isn't - it is just your opinion. We have repeatedly bought players 2 or 3 weeks after we started negotiations for the same value as the seller wanted initially - after we are knocked out. I have no doubt you can pick up some bargains at 11pm just before the transfer window slams shut. But buying players early, getting them integrated in training BEFORE they meet on the pitch in a vital game might actually be more beneficial than bringing them in after nearly a quarter of our season has passed. Target players that we actually need and we might get more value for money.
Of course there are no easy answers. But being paralysed by fear that every single decision you make is not guaranteed to be a success will never work out well, and certainly should not be the default position of such a highly paid Chief Executive!
point 4 if indoor pitch is value added do it but surely they already have indoor at training available? the team bonding bit might not be same as a group think in relaxing environment but like I said I dont like Dubai shite anymore than you but it may well have benefits beyond a wee get away.
point 5 show me the middle ground
this season we might no win league coupled with covid shite we might lose entire holding cash which has made our selling point more valuable by having working capital covered without overdraft.
this season alone could see a monster loss, so forgive for thinking we are already on the break even edge of risk
point 6 and 7
no you cant make another club sell you now no matter how urgent you need replacement unless you offer more than he worth
im not avoiding nothing im telling you its simply not viable to get it done now without extra costs
potentially wasted costs we cant afford and we should never be in a position not to have adequate balance in squad unless we buy now.
point 8 I agree we need to cut squad down and make it better balanced. not so easy when millions of pounds are at stake.
ok your out mate 8 million down pan
ok mate your out 5 million down pan
thats throwing money away but buying another new player in that position is also money down pan since it both devalues the dude you want sold and it overinflated the bloated squad more and discontent rises more.
your last point that its not a fact but my opinion is reversible your plan is your opinion
but the facts suggest that when big price player or player opposite club knows you have issues they will hold out hoping you pay more cause well you need him and they kind of know.
Anyway
its all opinions
and if they sack the board
and manager then hopefully we actually get better team to support
with better future
but 9 in a row quad trebles is hard to beat but its just no good enough
