It's a pity they don't do fit and proper tests of players because Charlie wouldn't have made it through the door.

Weekly wage? That's just his weekly cravat budget.

[mr underhill]

£35 million net money in the top flight would see you pick up three or four top quality players. That's a huge sum.for that league when we are likely to make £20 million in sales.

Even though this felt at times like it was taking forever it hasn't really been that long since Xia was confirmed as the buyer. We won't know if he is a good chairman for a while but like Randy if he can make early investments then he will at least give Di Matteo every chance of getting us back up. What will be critical even beyond the promise of funds is who he appoints to the board, the structure of the club to only find good players but to properly bring through young players. We simply haven't made full use of our academy. I'm happy with team the manager is assembling and overall next week there will be a lot more optimism than we have enjoyed for a long time.

Great stuff. Be nice to get some unity in the club and squad that has been lacking for years.

Also being reported that despite having talks with Port Vale Sir Brian will not be applying for their DoF post.
If this means an extended stay at VP then that is marvellous news.

Anyone know who gets the parachute money-Lerner or Xia?

Anyone know who gets the parachute money-Lerner or Xia?

The club.

[PeterWithe]

I'd hope it will be paid into club coffers, Lerner can't take the bank account when he goes.
