I heard a while ago that we have more than expected to spend this summer but £50m is... ludicrous.

So this £50m rumour comes from somebody on twitter called 'Bald eagle' ?

Well, i'm convinced.

There have been rumours of further investment for a while now, which in part makes sense as with Heskey and Cuellar going the wage situation should now be under control.  £50m is just someone's insane guess though as I doubt even the club themselves have put an actual figure on it.

Is Karl Malden from 'The streets of San Francisco' still alive?
If not, i'd still rather have his corpse patrolling the centre circle in preference to that inept Doghead clogger.

Getting a £50m warchest is probably more likely than signing Karl Fucking Henry. I hope.

Seriously, if they do sign him there's no chance of me going next season and I dont consider myself a drama queen at all.

Hard to say if it's true.

It could be based on a journalist knowing that McLeish coveted him when he was at the Blues.

If he signed him, you just know that he would make him club captain.

I know what you mean.

As it stands, I'm not renewing my season ticket. Sign players like Karl Henry and I won't be bothering to take in the odd match here and there, either.

Something about £50m war chest for next season on Twitter. The Bald Eagle.
Take the 0 out and that would be about right.

I'd say take out the 5 and it'd be about right.

Well if we have money to spend it makes even less sense to keep Mcleish. Actually it doesn't, because it makes absolutely no sense to keep Mcleish regardless of the circumstances.

If his finger slips again we might have a £500 million warchest!!

Just imagine what McLeish could do with that sort of backing.

Stuff you lot i'm going positive, Randy has had the scare of his life and wants to spend enough so his nightmares disappear, so fifty million it is. Roll on next season new manager new players with bigger crowds and Dave woodhall to sell out every home game.
