BOWTUN BAKED Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Really? I remember us being in the champions league spot & him asking for a pawltry 7M for 3 players to get us to that next level, the board said no, so I'm guessing they & not he, gave up.

Mounts Kipper Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Why not give the Job to Phil Brown, served his apprenticeship now and will lift the club and players will also be aware of what we have in the squad and he won't need to settle in, but will PG forgive and forget?

Site Supporter superjohnmcginlay Posted December 11, 2011 Site Supporter Share Posted December 11, 2011 Do folk really think we were three players short of champions league football and we could've made the next level? Gartside out then is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KP Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Do folk really think we were three players short of champions league football and we could've made the next level? Gartside out then is it? Didn't we finish 3 points off the champions league position that year? So possibly, yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no balls Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 That's probably a better question I'm awaiting the "Megson go more money" line. Which is true. The fact that the Sky money went up dramatically isn't relevant nor is it that Megson didnt get given enough to get 3 Champions League level players either.

I remember us being in the champions league spot & him asking for a pawltry 7M for 3 players to get us to that next level, the board said no, so I'm guessing they & not he, gave up. Spot on then the same board went and gave 30+m to Lee/Megson over the next 30 months then the next 24 months after that most of those players bought for 30+m were allowed to leave for free. You'd left your balls off if it wasn't our club!! Wonder were we'd be if Big Sam had been given that ?30m???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didnt the board know in Jan 2007 that the next years TV money was going up. Allardyce was frozen out of this club, the board presumed anyone (Sammy Lee) could do what Big Sam had done for a decade.

I also have no idea what the board did and didn't know about the sky money going up, but I can pretend I know as it seems that's what are popular ideas on a forum.

frank_spencer Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 It wasn't just the sky money that went up. Circumstances changed for ED too and he could free up his own money to invest in players (as he did for Allardyce in Anelka). We'll never know which side of the story is true and whether the money Sam wanted would have got us champions league football. It all depends on who your prejudices lie with.

Spot on, we have no idea of our financial side behind the scenes. Believe it or not, the board do want what's best for the club as much as we do.
