I wonder as well, and I was among his most vitriolic critics.


Ain't hindsight grand? But I also wonder how many more Balabans we could have afforded before we were in trouble.


That reminds me of a TV interview at an away game after JG's attack on him.

He said that JG had been "economical with the truth", and he intoned sadly that Balapan(sic), who cost 6 million, was sitting in the stands.

once again your talking about an extreme scenerio you cant compare the money Leeds and Portsmouth spent to Wednesday.



You can because their problems started a decade or so ago when they were paying ridiculous wages to the likes of Carbone & di Canio. That landed them into debt and a perilous situation they've never been able to throw off.


how much were they paying them out of interest?

I would guess it was around £20-25k a week, which was massive money then.

Because of there lack of success these debts have caught up on them. Sad for fans ......
