Eastie, I applaud you for at least trying to remain somewhat positive re the money situation.

I am not sure what game Lambert is playing, but when were here before under GED we spent some money and ensured survival.

Last season we got Keane, but at that time still had a number of very high earners on the books and had a lot more points in the bag.

This season we are in a desperate state, and it makes no sense financially not to give Lambert 10 million or so to get a few players in. The club intimated to the press there was money a couple of weeks back through the unofficial channels.

This is Lambert IMO.

Warnock going to West Ham on a free transfer.

How much down the pan, inclusive of wages now Martin...


Anyhow... should free up a bit of wage budget. 2 20k a week players maybe? Or 2 30 where only a 20 could be got before?

Well if he's signing full time they'll have to. Isn't his contract up this summer anyway?

Seems very stupid to give him free to a potential relegation rival unless it does free up money for wages for a new signing. Here's hoping.

Surely if he was saying there was no money when there was, he'd be on the first train to sackville?  Firstly for lying, and secondly so Lerner could let a new man spend it.

Maybe the money is there, but he's struggling to get the players he wants, and won't spunk it for the sake of it.

It's an admirable stance, as long as you're not getting twatted week in week out.
