Err no I did not I said they would be screwed if they did not have Fernandes, similar to Chelsea I believe but there we go. Their debts will get written off until he goes, many Saints fans forget this as it does not fit in with their plan of thinking.

No you are deflecting, lets keep on track, how much do you think its going to cost us to get ahead of either Arsenal United City Spurs Everton Chelsea Liverpool They dont spend money do they? £30 Million is chicken feed to them bar Everton but they have the pull of a bigger club and high wages, so how will we achieve this? We usually sell our players at the first opportunity (lets see about Shaw) so how will we improve? And even before all of that we have to stay up with this poor buy squad.

No we signed a player for £12 Million and relegation (Christ I hope I am wrong) still looks a distinct possibilty, then you can sound the alarms. McCann cost us £1.5 Million.

Why is the fact we were 6th highest in Europe mean anything? All that means is nobody else spent as they did not need to, £30 Million again is chicken feed.

I think I can agree with you on that but that was an example of how wrong it can go, learn from your history etc etc.

For us to actually acheive staying in this League £32 Million with a weaker newly promoted squad is chicken feed, £100 Million on updating a premiership squad again is not too much money, I think we need to grasp the fact being here and staying here is one thing and actaully advancing takes 100's og Millions, how much has it cost City? How much will it cost to get a consistant European place? This means we have to overtake Liverpool or Spurs or Everton or Chelsea or City or United or Arsenal? How much have they spent and what wages do they pay?

No worries, you do know that the Royle family is set in Manchester?

Sorry what are our objectives this season?

Yes we would but we would be talking about it from the safety of the Premiership, if Stoke can spend the money why cant we when we have Millions?

At least £12Million of a horizontal footballer, the baby Torres.

No I am putting it out there yet again this club's future has been jeopardised by Cortese for him buying poorly and not enough in the right areas, if we go down its on him and his ego signings. The clappers will only see this if we go down, too late then though like in 2005.

But Stoke will get how much by staying in the Premiership this season?

Yes I am saying we should of spent more and far far more wisely, why buy a supposed star player who can not last a full 90 mins and has been woeful for £12 Million and you need fighters for a first season? Why sign a defender who is obviously not fit when you are going to be in a relegation struggle? Why sign a winger and not play him? Thats at least £16 Million wasted when it could of been spent more wisely.

No, they had better teams than we did when they came up, we had a woefully short team/squad but the blind enthusiasm and faith masked this when we were promoted it still does in manay ways. The cult of Cortese.

The clappers wont see this and fail to recognise this fact, the other fact is we have spent on mediocre ****e and if we go down we have spent £30 million but lost £90 million, one hell of a gamble, he is a tactical genius that Cortese. He is gambling our future by being a yet again conservative buyer, again the clappers dont see this fact.

Pat.

Cheers ta, I have just folllowed through and I am made up thats how self deprecating I am, it keeps me going..........

When mock shock opportunistic indignation goes wrong..................

They cant talk to each other either can you imagine that ha ha!

Seeing as you dont believe I live in Liverpool your point is moot.

No a contract is not grey at all if its drawn up correctly its black and white, its designed to protect employee and employer, if the contract is weak and not robust then the underwriters could be at fault and they could be liable.

What do we get? A sense of perspective and realism.

30% of that was on one failed ego specualation nudge nudge wink wink transfer. To of got a premiership squad we needed to of spent wise and much, we have done neither really.

Sorry I hear we are well backed but we still have only spent a mediocre amount trying to get the squad to premiership standard (failed as well but thats besides the point) so really are we that well backed? I certainly dont think so.

Ok ok I understand all that but Cortese is still a megalomaniac bellend.
