The days of billionaires coming in to a new club and spending shitloads without first selling are gone, only the ones that already have them are going to get any benefit from them now.

With all of PHW's money, and even Kroenke too, I bet one of them could say, AS FANS, fuck it, i am going to personally volunteer funds so we can splash out on one massive world superstar to send a message. Is someone stopping them? Is the club opposed to donations?Quote:

Hopefully this will be the case for us too:

Another shout to AFCamden on twitter who said yesterday that it was likely that RVP was going to united :bow:
He also says that we will see Sahin come in if rvp is confirmed as leaving.
UEFA's new rules I think only allow a relatively small amount directly from owners to 'give' to clubs, now of course you hide it behind a sponsorship deal but we know we can't do that right now. Even if he had put in I dunno what, £60 million (?), it probably wouldn't have made much difference to RVP anyway.Quote:

But ultimately as Jose has already said, the final decision will come down to where the player wants to go.
you have to wonder why a player who has seen his manager and hte man who made him the player he is today called a paedo by 70k of his new clubs fans, called a rapist himself would want to play for said club.
oh wait its money. the judas money grabbing ****
You are right. The time to have stayed with the flow, when we were seen as one of the big boys, is long gone. PHW, AW and co spent most of their time criticising what their richer friends were doing -- all the while hiding behind self-sustainability.Quote:

Me: hey fucker, it's my money, take it and use it to stay competitive -- to move with the times -- rather than bang on about what rich owner fans are doing! It is about more than money.
wenger was given money this year, he spent 35 million of it. the difference being is he spends wisely and gets more out of the money then someone like liverpool who just buy shit for lots of moneyQuote:

Surely it wouldn't hurt to run a deficit for one transfer window? Especially given that there's surely been an accumulation of funds from previous windows that haven't been spent.Quote:

that's what you call a self-sustainable model my friend. if the aim is to be self-sustainable we will always try to balance the books i.e. sell to cover what we buy. the first rule of self-sustainability is to never make a deficit but if you do, minimise it as much as possible. we were always going to sell the c*nt but to united? that's ridiculous.Quote:

City's owners a rich fans pumping their own money into their club. If you don't like it, fine. If your club's owner wants to run your club as a business and you are happy with that fine!
But then don't go around calling players greedy when they opt to work for the owner who will invest top bucks to ensure they win. IN FACT It is about more than money as far as these owners are concerned.
after buying cazorla, giroud and podolski and offering him 150k a week, its quite clear we wanted to win but he just wanted more moneyQuote:

It's more fucking infuriating that it's happened this late into the window tbh.
If we'd have sold him straight after the euros then bought cazorla, I doubt most fans would be as pissed off as the feel right now.
I had already dealt with the fact he was leaving and probably to utd, but I wish it was done a lot sooner.
Still, we'll see someone coming in now RVP is gone.
We can feel like shit and pissed off again when song is sold next week and feel slightly better when another player comes in for him.
it was 40m last year and now its 23 million. yeah well done levyQuote:

They are footie fans who bought the club they could and are pumping money into the club to make it their dream club AS FANS. I don't begrudge them that.Quote:
