tbf to Anelka, he signed a new contract with us when he could have just sat it out. That meant we got money we would not have 6 months later.

Cahill, seriously, who could blame him ?

That is why I said we were stuffed with Cahill. I mentioned other transfers we should have done better with.

kevin davies did 10? years in the prem

alan thompson, 10 months

ish

 

Alan Thompson won more silverware. Anyway, point is we should have got more for Thompson who played very well in our relegation season.

[Casino]

anybody using either cahill or anelka as examples of poor transfer dealing really doesnt get how it works

i would say that if we were really offered 18 million 6 months earlier, that was the fuck up

plus spunking the proceeds as we did

I agree. Cahill should have been sold if we were offered that.

It's great isn't it.

The Madine one I'll never understand.

Clough, at the time, people thought we'd undersold him, it turns out we did very well on the deal, as it turns out, the "promise" was just that, as his career just petered out. He's probably got a decent life playing Sunday League in Australia now though, so fair play to him

Without opening old wounds you think Ken had that £9.5m away?

Who knows? Two months later we couldn’t pay the wages🤷🏻‍♂️

[jmjhb]

We practically doubled our money in 18 months on Anelka, wasn't the worst transfer business ever.

We were fucked, that is a fact. Did Ken cream off some of the Madine money is the question.

Probably worst value for money pound for pound than they spent on Emiliano Sala

I'm convinced of it. Money laundering maybe ? It certainly made no sense.

There would've been legal charges and prosecutions.

Eidur was a fucking disgrace at £4m. Hargreaves said we’d never sell for that in March then come June he went. 

The Madine one probably covers all the bad ones though as apart from 4 weeks I’d of took £80k for him let alone £8ml. Just a shame it went to ww hero Ken

He wasnt. He was an absolute shyster and after flipping a club in distress and making himself as much as he could.

In the end he stopped paying bills and covering losses as the ship began to sink.

Think people forget the two seasons where the bills were getting paid and we had to beg steal and borrow to survive whilesaddled with HMRC bills and wonga loans.
