From £22.5million to £80million in 4 years - AVFC wages

[Percy McCarthy]

The crop of youngsters we’re talking about all came through the ranks whilst O’Neill was in charge of the football side of things. Indeed, he gave professional debuts to the likes of Clark, Albrighton, Bannan, Lowry and Delfouneso, as well as awarding professional contracts to several others.

I think the word is debut namely one game.

All of those youngsters put together didnt start 10 games under MON.

MOn would have started with petrov in traction rather than giving those kids a chance

He gave Gabby a few games.

Im sure gabby was in the first team under DOL

I thought people were on about how many games youngsters got. It seems we've established he did quite well re: giving them their debuts. So what are we moaning about again?

And we get told what a great businessman RL is.

I like RL but fuck me:

Curtis davies - 5 million loss
Habib Beye - 8 Million
NRC - signed for 8 million leaves on a free
Steve Sidwell - 3 million loss
Salifou - Cost us a couple of million

Salaries at 88% of turnover

We did waste some money, but we certainly didn't spend £10m on Beye and Salifou!! I think it was about £2.035m
