And we get told what a great businessman RL is.I like RL but fuck me:Curtis davies - 5 million lossHabib Beye - 8 MillionNRC - signed for 8 million leaves on a freeSteve Sidwell - 3 million lossSalifou - Cost us a couple of millionSalaries at 88% of turnover
You can't fault lerner for the money he has put in but I thinks his total hands off approach has come back to haunt him. RL is a billionaire - just, so for him to have spent some £200 million of his own money with no hope of getting any sort of return is madness. He wanted CL and we tried but that is just a distant dream now so I think he is cutting his cloth accordingly

Surely the club must be worth the best part of two hundred million?
I think we should rename the thread now - VillaDawg v Risso Part 259Get ahead of the game!
£80m a year for that shower? Christ on a bike.MON played his part but there's only one man who signs the cheques, I'm afraid we can't hide behind the evil O'Neill notion forever.
