he has far more money than sense but he could,if advised correctly, turn his investment in AVFC into profit,
provided we can stay up
oh well that aint going to happen
thanx fox

Unless we start paying the going rate for Premier League players wages we're always going to struggle. The budget is set by the chairman not Fox.
and nz gets how much

A lot I'd bet, but I'm guessing Lerner allowed a couple or so high earners and the rest on relative peanuts, and you know what they say about paying peanuts.

£65k a week apparantely, but it's not the going rate.

A 5 year old deal, his parting shot at giving it a go. Hiring a manager as poor as Mcleish and then amazingly he goes on to make a raft of poor, expensive signings. Who would have thought that?

I think we all agree that McLeish was a mistake. He's made others as well. Like I said, he can take the blame but others need to as well.

And Gabby he is getting the Going Rate? I know Clark is on upwards of 2m per year and Jack was on 1m+ last year. Seems like the Going Rate.

How many of Leicester players are on the Going Rate.

McLeish signed CNZ Given Hutton and Jenas on combined wages of over 10m per year. More thanthe Going Rate.

Mike Ashley didn't sell Newcastle when they went down, and I bet he really wanted to. We will be stuck with Lerner unless there is a buyer, but unfortunately I think the era of rich people buying football clubs and pumping millions of pounds into them every season is over.

Correct, Lerner won't be going anywhere anytime soon.

If Kieran Clark is on anything like £40k p/w then it sums up the mismanagement of this club.

I think Lerner cares more than a lot of owners. It's just that he's utterly incompetent when it comes to hiring the right people and putting a structure in place.

For all the fanfare Tom Fox rode in on, to give Lambert as longs he did (not forgetting that stupid contract extension) and then only interview one candidate, being the totally inexperienced Tim Sherwood was staggeringly incompetent, downright fucking lazy actually.  Then we have Paddy Reilly trying to be the next Wenger with cheap French imports. But Gana is no Vierra, Ayew is no Henry.

It's just staggering how poorly run we've been, if it were any other club I'd be pissing myself at the constant level of incompetence. It's Bluesesque.

Maybe we need to go down anyway. It's no fun this, no fun at all, 35k today, i cant believe we get those crowds with our home record over the years. We are only here to make up the numbers at best so maybe winning a few games or at least attempting to
be competitive in the Championship will be good for the soul of the Club. 

And there we have it, the final indignity, we've turned into the Albion.
