    Oh how they laughed when they took Winnall but forgot Hourihane....

    Winnall, is he in the Conference North or something now?

    Anyone got one of those for when Lee took over - would be interesting to see. Board is always accused of pocketing the money so it would be nice to put a figure on what has been spent/received

    I don’t get how they still think they haven’t spent enough....

    Is t the crime that they’ve spent so much on absolute dross. Have they had incoming for Fletcher, or is he on loan?

    They then complain about the weight of still paying premier league wages... they haven’t been in the prem for 20 years. Who’s still getting their premier league wage? If they are still paying premier league wages. It’s because they are deluded and still think they’re so big that they are premier league.

    As I said last week sometime they came as a pair. Without CH to provide the ammunition SSW was completely impotent. They thought they were stealing our family silver when, in reality, they were just getting an old, broken down watch. Useless and over priced. More fool them. They might have been in the Premier League had they taken both

    Someone tell me about Barry Bannan. Listening to P&G on't wireless, I can't tell if he's the master class of footlballing kind, or if he's tricked (numerous) managers into letting them believe he's a pro footballer. The opinions on his do wildly differ like that.
    Also, 518k for Winnall. Thought that was a lot more?

    The crazy thing is that their problems have all been entirely foreseeable all along. It's not like there's been some massive adverse event that's affected their finances - it's just a whole series of bad decisions which surely anybody with a basic business brain should have been alive to.

    I mean at the time they took Winnall from us they gave him four times the wages we were but only had twice our revenue. It was plain for anyone to see that if they didn't get promoted they were going to be in a real mess - but the number of them that had got caught up in the Chansiri hype and just refused to see was staggering.

    Just goes to show how easy it is for bad ownership and management to ruin a football club.

    We're a good club where a player could be a demi God if they had their head screwed on. Sometimes grass isn't always greener. You'll make millions staying here. It'll take longer but it ad' be worth it.

    Close to 200k a week in wages on strikers alone - Forestieri, Rhodes, Hooper, Fletcher, Winnall, Nuhiu, Joao. Mental.

    Apart from Joao all left or will leave for nothing. They deserve all they get. Completely reckless spending & laughed at us when they took Winnall.

    Why on earth was Adam Jackson your first example? When we talk about decent players who left us to try and chase a bigger club with more money, he wouldn’t be in the first 50 players I thought of.
